New Life Flickers (REWRITTEN!!)

Hah. This is a weird dream.

Hey, I'm... Wait, why can't I remember my name? Weird dream shenanigan's, I know I have weird dreams, but they're never like this? All I see is black, dark, and quiet void. I hate quiet. Don't get me wrong, when it's too loud, I'd love a bit of quiet, but quiet for too long makes me think about scary things. And I hate scary things, never am I ever watching MLP infection horror AU again, EVER.

Hm? What are the chances my brother and sister are sharing my dream? What am I thinking, how could they possibly-

Hey, sis. Do you know where the heck we are, why are we in the same dream, why can't I see you and talk to you, and many more questions?

Oh look, it's my sis, what are the chances? But it's probably me just thinking about them, you can never share dreams unless I was to be in a magical world right now.

Yes you are.

Wha? Who are you?

An why are you sharing our dream?

Just call me... FP? I am- Wait, I forgot the other one.

And the duck walked up- Hey, where am I? Guys, HUH? Oh and my brother, how very nice.

Now I shall continue. This may sound blunt, but because I wanted to test reincarnation out, I decided to kill you guys and send you off as a new creature based of changelings into the MLP universe.

You mean we're forced to go to a magical pony-dominated world where their leader will either end or maybe forgive anyone deemed dangerous?

And we get to be my favorite bug-ponies?!

YOU F(beep)ING KILLED US?!

Uh... Well, I had to erase your memories of your name as standard reincarnation procedures but I decided to let your keep the rest of your memories so okay-bye-hope-you-have-a-good-life!

Then, in a brilliant flash of white, I was no longer in the void.

I blinked open my eyes, I was in a moderately dark cave with some glowing crystals illuminating it. Alright... Status check! I feel something to my left and right, I have black chitin hooves with a few holes in them, I'm really small, so I'm probably a young changeling (or whatever I am) from the show, I don't think I'm hurt.

I turn my head to see what's besides me on my right, they looked like the regular changeling uh... what's the term? Nymphs? Yeah, except they had longer legs, at least twice the size of my short, stubby legs. They also had a small, bubbly, light-grey frill going down their head. The frill was dotted with white dots that glowed dimly. I couldn't see their eye color since it was closed, but it's probably around the same color as the frill. I barely noticed the thin, wire like tail that had a fluffy white spark ball on it. Other than that, everything from the show was the same. I assume I look like kinda like that.

Next was the other one who was like the other nymph but was closer to my height, they were still probably taller than me but not by that much. The only difference was everywhere that was light-grey/white was sky blue. I think those are my siblings, the light-grey one is probably my brother and the blue one my sister.

Alright, Status check done.. Next step, learn to walk on four legs! I tried to stand, and I pretty much fell face first. Trying again, I managed to actually do it! Next, walking, maybe I should imagen myself crawling? Or how ponies in the show do it, yeah, that seems much easier. Okay, you got this. I slowly put out one front right leg, the the back left leg, then the left front and the right back, then I repeat. Then I managed to make my way to a trot, not a canter tough, that would've been stupid.

My ears (Or whatever they are) perked to a shifting sound. I looked behind me to see my sister, waking up. She blinked her eyes open (yes, my assumption was correct, her eyes were the same color as her frills). Looking towards me, she took a second before saying, "Sis...?"

"Yep." I responded, walking up to her. SH looked around the cave a bit more before wobbling to her feet.

"Dang, I feel so tiny... You're so tiny... "

"Well, I think we're babies, nymphs, I think they're called."

"Nice... I'm going to learn how to walk on all fours, do whatever you want in the meantime."

"That's not really responsible... You're older than me! What can I even do? Not wander, I hope..."

She rolled her eyes (seriously, how do we do that with no pupils?), finally standing up "Stop fussing, if you want something to do go wake him up."

I have a habit of causing arguments for no good reason. Yes, I admit it, it's a bad habit. But I can't help myself, causing problems is something I'm great at! I grumbled, turning to approach my brother.

I tapped him a bit... He didn't wake up. I tapped him a little bit harder, he still didn't wake up. Well, time for plan two. I trotted over behind him and spread my fore-legs like I was giving a wide hug. Gravity did the rest for me, I fell on-top of him. He still makes a very comfortable bed, even if we aren't human anymore more.

"Ow... Get off me..." I heard him groan. Aw... no more pillow, I wiggled off him. When I sat up like a dog, I saw him staring at his holed-hooves, still laying down. Great... He's already having an existential crisis... He soon shook his head and tried to stand up. He wobbled a bit before falling back down. "Ugh... How did you do this? Can you show me?"

"Hm... Nah."

Then sis appeared beside me, "Is he wake? Good."

Brother perked at sis's voice, "Great, my other, better sister, will you help me learn to walk?"

"Hm..." she rubbed her chin with a hoof, "Nah."

"Why do both my sisters have to be so inconsiderate...?" He groaned. I decided to leave him to his own devices and wander away from where we woke up.

"Sigh... Do you really think the missing Nymphs are going to be here...?"

Huh, what was that?

"Absolutely positive! I have a feeling their here, even if the Nymph-snatcher isn't here... Plus, we need all the hatchlings we can get, even if they're normal.

Okay, that was definitely a voice... Wait, we're royals?? And we were STOLEN??

"I know that Buzzlight... I just... What if the Nymph-snatcher thought them to avoid us? What if they're... gone?

Okay, still can't take chances. I rush towards where my brother was learning to be four-legged (He succeeded I was standing tall), sis was watching him. I quickly went behind them and tried to push both of them towards a large glowing pink crystal at the side, I couldn't do that, but they seemed to get the message and rush toward the crystal to hide. Before they could ask the voice got closer.

"Okay, here we are Luxo! Oh I don't see them..." A light female voice chirped, I peeked out to get a closer look at them. There was a bigger one and a slightly smaller one. The smaller one was like sis, but a decent size bigger. The bigger one was one feet bigger than the smaller one, and it's frill, tip of it's tail and eyes were electric yellow. Then I somehow tripped over my hooves and fell face first. I think my siblings went to check up on me? I just didn't want to get up, okay? Then I felt myself get picked up, and when I looked up I was faced with the bigger ones face. It sighed in relief, wait, how was it holding me? It's horn was not glowing, all hooves were on the ground... Then... Oh, the tail, that's nice. This place is also comfortable, I'll stay here.

"Who are you...?" I heard my brothers voice mutter. The bigger ones tail swished back behind it, carry me with it. I could see my brother and sister side-by-side, my sister was looking at me.

"Oh, you can talk?" The smaller one said, surprised, "Well, at least the Nymph-snatcher taught you how to... I'm Buzzlight, and this here is my friend, Luxo, do you all have names...?"

"...Nah." I answered simply, I wasn't feeling making up names, though I could feel the glare my brother was giving me.

"Well, I suppose we should name you then. We were your caretakers and caretakers are supposed to name the brood their in charge of." Buzzlight continued, now thinking deeply.

Luxo hadn't spoke yet, she was now staring intently at me. Maybe it's my small size or something...? Then her eyes widened a bit and she... sniffed me? Um, not sure I'm comfortable with that..

"The blue one can be Firefly, the white one can be Lightray, and for the smallest one... she can be Flickers!" Heh, I like my name, I think it fits me.

"Uh, Buzzlight?" Luxo turned back to Buzzlight.

"Hm? Yeah, Luxo?"

"I think the small one is a demi-royal..." Wait... What the heck is a demi-royal? Am I royalty?!

"Wait, what?!" Buzzlight looked shocked, looking at me.

"She smells like one... Check the others."

Buzzlight went to do as told. Firefly look uncomfortable like me but Lightray wouldn't even let her, Buzzlight had to hold him just let her do it. "Yep, they all have a demi-royal scent..."

"Oh, that's just what we need right now... Thank Zeraphon we found them!" Luxo sighed in relief, I wonder what happened? Why would they need us? "We should be heading back now, Flickers seems perfectly fine in my tail-hold which is odd but I don't mind, the others can walk, they are not as fond of us as Flickers so I doubt they'd want to be carried."

We started talking down the tunnel. Hopefully, this would be a great life and hopefully nothing bad would happen yet!

Luxo suddenly stopped, and I saw why, we were at the opening of he tunnel and it led to a giant underground cave. The walls and ceiling was filled with holes and the multi colored giant crystals. There were dirt paths on the floor leading to bigger holes. From where we were to end of the giant cavern was a path leading up to giant doors built into the stone with pane glass of a sparkling, which is the name of our species, above it. It was telling a story, though I didn't know what it meant.

There were few sparklings wondering about, maybe 25? I was just guessing... Compared to Chrysalis' hive, we were absolutely tiny! Seriously, did something bad happen? Or is this a new hive?

"Let's take you to the queen. She'll be delighted to hear that you're here! Especially when you're demi-royals..." Buzzlight started to trot on again. Luxo quickly followed, seriously how have we gone this far and she can still carry me? My sibs took a second before following Buzzlight and Luxo.

"I think it was a stupid Idea that the princess did a brood this early... I know that we need all the 'lings we can get but I still feel like it was a dumb idea..." Luxo muttered.

Buzzlight snorted, "Its queen now. Parva is now a Queen! Way too soon..."

"Uhuh, if she is the queen now, why didn't you call her Parva meridiem?"

"I was one of her caretakers, she allowed me to call her Parva!"

"Yeah, yeah, we're here."

I looked up to see the massive gates, two guards were stationed there. They shot us a curious look, but opened the gate anyways. They must recognize Luxo and Buzzlight as a known figure or something, otherwise they wouldn't have let her in without asking.

I was excited, I get to meet the queen who is also my mother! And probably what's going on around here... I was practically prancing as Luxo led the way towards the Queen.
