# A Young Human #
Staring out into the open, I saw the Lakeside. It was a familiar site, but I know i haven't been there at all.
# A Young Unicorn Mare #
I thought it was just a dream when I saw you. Through the reflection of the water's surface.
# A Young Pegasus Mare #
A strange sense of Familiarity washed over me. I knew I had to see you both.
# The Three Beings Alike #
I know we haven't met, but it seems like it's meant to be.
I have to see you again.
Like it's...
Truly meant...
To be...

===================
** Human's P.o.V. **
===================
I didn't know what might have brought that memory to thought, really. But then... It was as if time was telling me that it was time for something to happen. I'm not sure why, but it was obvious. Something was going to happen.
My name is Hope. I'm 16 years old. High School Junior. Um... Not really much to say about me. I live in Idaho, U.S.A. My best friend watches out for me since I had lost my parents at a younger age. He had taken me in shortly after he graduated. You could say he's like my Dad, but he acts more like an older brother. Yeah.
Anyways...
A late day. I was just getting off of work. I have a liscensed motor bike that I use to get around town. I drove to my favorite spot in all of the city I live in. A large lake. I come here alot to think. It- It helps me to clear my mind of the tragedy those years ago. But then recently, something has been drawing me to the lake alot recently. Like something was calling me. As if I needed to be there.
That was when I looked up. My eyes wide. A strangely... Familiar sight... Two... Colorful Ponies...
I know enough about them. They look just the characters from that show: My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. I even know about the Fandom. Those bronies. My "Brother" is a brony himself actually. He's told me plenty about it. He even convinced me to check out the show myself. I didn't hesitate. I checked it out, but it didn't peak my interest. I don't hate it. But then I just don't find it interesting.
But there was something about the sight of the two out in the distance... I saw them every time I watched the show... But seeing them out in the distance... Across the lake... In the Reflection... Something clicked inside of me and then...
Everyting went black. I felt something hit me hard. My head felt like it was on fire. My whole body hurt. And then...
Sleep came.
===================
** Unicorn's P.o.V. **
===================
Just another day of paitients. Being a Dentist has its perks and benefits. But then it also has its downsides. Repetitive work. Every day. Anywhere from 8 to nearly 14 hours a day, 5 to 6, maybe even 7 days a week of the same routine.
Wake up, go to work, come home, eat, sleep, repeat.
I didn't ask for a lifestyle like this. Then again, it just came natural to me. Much like my talent. But then, who's ever heard of a Pony with a job not matching their Cutie Mark? I'm a Dentist, but my talent is Time. Clockworks. Watches. Dentistry comes naturally to me as a second talent.
My name is Minuette. I'm a Unicorn with extraordinary capabilities and prowess as said by Princess Celestia herself here in Canterlot. And yet, I work as a dentist.
I pack up my thing, lock up for the night, and head out. I take a carraige ride to my home not too far away. I could easily have walked there myself, but the fact that I'm always on my hooves leaves them sore somedays, much like today. So I take a carraige ride. It's no big deal. I'm not high class, but I'm not middle class either. I can afford to burn a few bits here and there.
Once I arrive, I pay off my ride, go into my home, throw my bag aside, and cook up a simple meal consisting of spinach leaves and dried cranberries. I finish up in no time. There... Hasn't really been much for me to forward to... I feel like my life is just wasting away. So, I decide to do something different. Before I go to bed, I take an evening stroll. Out to my favorite place. Teleporting myself, I find myself on the outskirts of the Everfree Forest outside of Ponyville. A place that... As of 2 years ago... I used to call home...
I decided that fresh air was what I needed. It doesn't take long to reach my destination on hoof. The Everfree Lake. I sit down at the water's edge and I feel a sense of peace and purity. The Timberwolves weren't out tonight. Being in the fall season, their activity is usually limited since the trees are dying to get ready for the winter season.
It's just so peaceful. The one thing I always missed about this place.
Then it happened.
I looked across the lake and saw them!
A strange being in the water's surface! And another Pony! Though far away on the other side, I could just barely see her! And the being in the water looked as if it could see me too! Then...
The water erupted into a geyser and soaked me all the way down to the bone. Then I was struck by a falling object. Knocking the air out of me, I blacked out. But when i came to, nothing prepared me for what was to come.
==================
** Pegasus' P.o.V. **
==================
Just one mistake had put me where I am today. I was so eager to follow that dream. I was at the top of my game. The peak of fame. And I make one mistake. And everything falls apart around me.
I had always wanted to join The Wonderbolts as a filly. I looked up to every single one of them. I always challenged myself. Pushing myself further and further. Even when I did the amazing Sonic Rainboom. I knew I would make it there someday.
Then, that day came. I was accepted. I showed them my stuff. I showed them me. And I was in. For 2 years, I was even further than I originally intended to go. I loved the new life I had. Sure... I... Had to leave some friends behind... But we never stopped being friends. We stayed in touch. I missed them alot. But I always sent them tickets to my shows. They never failed me. Even now. They stand by my side. Except one.
I miss her alot.
My name is Rainbow Dash. I used to be the greatest flyer in all of Equestria. Yeah, USED TO BE. But because of a mistake, I can't do any of that anymore.
It was an after party after one of our biggest performances for the Princesses. Drinking... Lost control... Woke up the next morning not feeling really all that different.
But then that's where I was wrong. About a month later, I couldn't even fly without getting sick. I was always making trips to the bathroom. Whether to relieve myself or empty the contents of my stomach, it was frequent. I had no choice but to have it checked out. When the Doctor told me I was Pregnant, I did something I haven't done nearly at all in my entire life.
I cried.
Time passed on eventually and I find myself here now. 6 months pregnant and back in Ponyville. Ironically though, living with one of my best friends. In the Library with Princess Twilight Sparkle. She's taken care of me since I came back to Ponyville since the discovery of my Pregnancy. She... She helps me out when I need it... I owe her so much...
Usually on days I'm feeling down on myself, like today, I go to my favorite place. The Everfree Lake. It's really quiet out here.
I think about the Ups and Downs I've gone through in my life. Mostly the Ups. Rarely the downs. But... You could say becoming Pregnant was both a good thing and a bad thing! I mean... Think about it... My Colt or Filly will be the Son or Daughter of a Wonderbolt!
But then... That's also it there... Will they let me back in? Will they still accept me?
I'm interupted of these thoughts when I hear a big splash! I look out into the distance in time to see a wonderful sight...
A strange figure in the Water and another pony staring back at me, both familiar... Like a lost memory... But just as I am about to call out to them, that splash happens again and I see something fly from the water and hit that pony across the lake!
Something tells me... That something big is happening...
** All Three **
That something beautiful is about to happen.
That we're going to meet someone. Somepony.
Although I'm nervous...
In reality...
I really can't wait to see you!
