//-------------------------------------------------------// Forgotten Memory -by FireshysFlutterflies- //-------------------------------------------------------// //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter Two //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter Two I woke up. Yeah that's all I can say. Actually there's more, but I don't really feel like saying. Call me lazy, but it won't offend me. Okay it will but still. Anyway, I woke up in this strange place. It was complete darkness, I'm not kidding. I can't see anything at all, not even my own hands! I thought I was on my way to heaven until...this...white creature who looked beautiful was walking toward me from a distance. I started backing away, scared it was going to kill me in my sleep, like Freddie Kruger did to Tina from Nightmare on Elm Street or whatever. I was backing away until its horn started glowing light gold and a light gold aura glowed around me and I suddenly started floating toward the creature. I started wriggling, struggling to get out of the magic grasp and I screamed at the top of my lungs. "HELP!!!" I cried. The creature said nothing and put me down, still holding the aura around me. "Greetings Nami," it said with a female voice. It knew my name...IT KNEW MY STINKING NAME! Somebody help me ;_;..."My name is Princess Celestia." "I-I don't care who you are or whatever!" I snapped, trying to be brave. "Let me out of here!" Celestia narrowed her eyes, but nothing came out of her mouth...or muzzle...whichever's best. "Am I dead?" I asked in a shrill voice and she shook her head. "You're dreaming," She said blank. "Listen, I have a very important message for you." "Say what you will..." I yawned. Celestia opened her mouth and then suddenly another creature appeared, more darker and cool looking. "Nightmare Moon," Celestia glared at her. "What are you doing here in Nami's dreams?" You just took the words out of my mouth. I thought as I watched with interest through the golden aura. Nightmare Moon let out an evil laugh that sent shivers up my spine and stomped her hoof down. Then more creatures appeared behind her and they all were weird-looking, especially the one who looked like he was made out of animals. "We came for you and this girl, Tia." He smirked and weaved himself around her. Celestia jumped out of the way, me being dragged toward her side. "You leave Nami and Equestria alone!" She snarled and the creatures all laughed. "Oh Tia," Nightmare Moon cooed. "You're so cute when you're angry...now it's time to face your permanent fate!" Then they charged for us. A creature that had the head of a chicken and body of a dragon cawed in and stared at Celestia. To my horror, she began to turn into stone. Buffalos ran for me as I tried to scream to the princess. "Celestia! Celestia! You're still holding me in your aura!" But her whole self except her head was covered in stone and I saw Nightmare Moon shock her with a lightning bolt. "NO!" I shrieked and then suddenly I felt the hooves of the buffalos crushing me forever... //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter Four //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter Four I stood there as the pony watched me and began to back away. Her smiling expression turned into a frown of concern as she started walking toward me."Somethin' wrong partner?" She asked. I was too afraid to speak. First the wooden wolves now a talking pony that's like Celestia, but...oh just go with me here! So I began to run. "Hey! Wait!" I didn't stop and then suddenly tripped on a rock. Then I saw it...two hooves. Right in front of my face and I began to scream. Yeah yeah I know, it's stupid how I was running with all fours without realizing it, but I was lost in my head okay?...okay this makes no sense whatsoever, but here! Have a heart! ♥ Happy now? Anyway... I let out a blood-curling scream and then felt another hoof wrap around my face. "Shh," The pony whispered. "Call me Applejack, okay? Ah'll take you to Twilight's." Twilight's?... I wanted to run from Applejack and find my way home, where I want my boring life back. It's surprising how I actually wanted to go back to where the bullies and schoolwork are, but I want to reunite with my friends and my parents. "Here we are!" Applejack's voice snapped me from my thoughts as I stared at a treehouse-looking building. I looked at the sign beside it. It had a picture of an open book and words were written below it. "Golden Oaks Library?" I read out loud. Applejack nodded and knocked on the door. "Coming!" A female voice called from the inside and I heard the door creek open as a lavender unicorn with a sapphire blue mane with rose and violet highlights step outside. "Hello Applejack!" She greeted cheerfully and smiled. For the first time ever, I just noticed Applejack had three apples on each side of her flank...I'm an idiot, I know. For Twilight, it was a six pink pointed star with white points between the pink points and...okay you know what it looks like. "Who is your friend?" "This is...well Ah dunno! Ah never asked fer it! What's yer name?" The next thing I knew, Applejack's face was up to mine. "N...Nami." I stammered. "Nami," She echoed to Twilight. Twilight nodded and motioned us to go inside. "Come in, come in," Somehow them being friendly creeped me out. I stayed behind as AJ (yes I shall call her AJ from now on :3) trotted inside and looked over her shoulder at me. "Come inside, sugarcube!" Sugarcube? I sighed as I followed her inside. //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter Three //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter Three I woke up, screaming. Sweat ran along my body as I panted and looked around frantic. I know what you're thinking. It was all a nightmare and I'll just start my ordinary day, but no, you are wrong. I woke up in the middle of some forest. It was dark and I don't even see the stars shining above me as well as the moon! Behind me, I heard a low growl and the smell of odor and I turned around to be face-to-face to a wooden snout. The smell was coming from its mouth and a growl was rumbling in its throat. I stood there, not knowing what to do until all of my thousand thoughts burned down into one command: Run. That's when I got up and darted to the direction opposite of the wooden creatures. I hear their paws hitting the ground as they chased me across the forest ground. "Help!" I cried as I felt their presence behind me until...Whack! Then a bunch of wood rolled past me as I stopped and turned to see an orange pony with a light blonde mane with its back turned on me. Two other wooden wolves were facing her, glaring at her with those glowing light green eyes. The pony struck first: she raised her hind legs and my eyes went wide when the wolves immediately broke into pieces when she kicked them. She turned around and her green eyes disappeared behind her eyelids as she stood there and put a hoof around her foreleg. "That's how we do it here down on the farm." I stared at the pony as she opened her eyes and pulled down her cowboy hat a little. //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter One //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter One Life. That's all I have to say. Life is boring and I can't stand stuff being boring. Every day is just a song that goes on forever and ever. Wake up, school, back home, do random stuff, sleep and then it repeats. Speaking of boring, my teacher is teaching us something about...animals? I don't know. Talking about the bones and everything. My best friend, Gracie, was writing on a small piece of notebook paper and gave it to me, since we sit next to each other. "Will you please tell Amanda to stop bothering me about my brother?" The note read. Her brother's name was James and our friend, Amanda has a "secret" crush on him. He's pretty cute with brown hair and dark eyes and Amanda has dirty blond hair and brown eyes. Every day she talks day and night about him. Well sometimes. Anyway, I read the note and was about to write on it until my teacher, Mrs. Forrest, began to talk keenly. "Nami Fitzhugh," She said. "May I see what you are trying to write?" Giggle giggle Just what I expected. I get caught writing the note to Gracie, the class laughs and...you probably know the rest. Taking the note, Mrs. Forrest opened it and began to read. "Will you please tell Amanda to stop bothering me about my brother?" She read. Immediately, the class burst into laughter. Amanda turned red with embarrassment and glared at Gracie and I and hung her head, scowling. ~♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥~ Then it was the end of class. I know what you're thinking. Well that escalated quickly. I'd hate to admit, but you're right. It escalated too quickly. Amanda pretty much hates us now and won't talk to us after that whole she-won't-stop-talking-about-James thing. Anyway, I threw my backpack on my blue carpeting floor and jumped on my bed, not caring if the bed sheets are getting dirty. Sighing in relaxation, I closed my eyes since I was tired after school and felt myself drift away in darkness. //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter Five //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter Five As I put a hoof inside of Twilight's library, I suddenly felt something small run under me as I fell on my stomach. I looked up twitching as two orange eyes stared down with a spark of excitement. "Howdy!" It had a Southern accent, similar to Applejack's, except younger. "Ah'm Apple Bloom! Are you new here?" I looked nervously at Applejack and she glared at Apple Bloom. "Apple Bloom!" She snapped. "What are you doin' here?" "Ah was just crusading until Ah found this new pony at Twilight's door! Is she new here?" All eyes turned to me as I nodded slowly, feeling my head scrape against the ground. Apple Bloom smiled as she let out a "yee-haw!" and quickly ran over my face and I heard Applejack yell, "APPLE BLOOM! Twilight, who was still watching, helped me up and I leaned on her shoulder as she dragged me and dropped on top of her bed. "Hold still," She whispered as I felt my bloody wound from Apple Bloom glow and right away, it was healed. "So...Nami...what brings you to Ponyville?" Well I somehow woke up in that one forest and got chased by wooden wolves and AJ saved me and brought me here. I thought. "Really?" Oops, did I say that out loud? Me and my big mouth..Twilight was staring at me with interest and I leaned back a bit. A yawn came from downstairs as I heard footsteps and I quickly ran to the side of the bed and hid. "Nami come out and meet my number one assistant, Spike!" I didn't come out. No more friends for me. No more weird ponies or creatures to see. No more- "Hi!" A purple face popped out from the corner of the bed and I let out an earsplitting scream. The creature that looked like a dragon shot up a claw and covered my mouth. "Spike." Twilight called and then I noticed the book she was reading. "Mixed Illusions?" I read out loud and to my surprise, Twilight quickly shut the book and I saw it, in a flash, glowing from a bookshelf.
