"Oh sunset.. we live in a clown world don't you see? what future do I have! ah you always talk about "high school memories" and such, the "good times" but what was good for me? nothing! ignored, forgotten and if I wasn't I'd be bullied and pushed around" >"I.. I didn't know" "Of course you didn't! and that's the problem see? you people never know, or care to know. you stopped being a demon on the outside but inside? what changed? you're still on your high horse looking down on us normalfolk. what future is there? I have no desire to for companionship or wealth only to be alone in my garden.. and you people mock and laugh if you even see at all." >"No one meant to hurt you! I.. I don't remember being mean and if I was I'm sorry ok? put the stone down and stop! that's dangerous and magic you don't understand" "But that's just it, I do understand it. It's from the other world, where things matter or.. or could matter whereas here they don't and never can, we're not real here just a mirror image of the other. you're from there.. I made you tell me.. but aww you don't remember do you? this world and that.. what is the original? who is real and who isnt? your eternal princess here is a mere school principal.. now is that because time works differently.. or the other theory.. that your world is just as old as ours, one day it just EXISTED, there was no before, there was and Is no history.. I know it to be TRUE. we're not real sunset, we never were" >"You've lost your mind.. what do you mean not real?! g-give me the stone already" "I can't you see, this story is already written and you can't get it. you can't even move or make any choices of your own. you know how I know? I erased yesterday for everyone.. you know what happened? a 'worldwide clock error' or some other made up happening.. you know what really happened after that? the exact same thing as the day I erased minus that little hiccup.. and you know what? I did it again. it's funny I just had to know. i just HAD to know if that little 'clock error' would make it so this day was just like the last.. and you know what? hahaa! it WAS, everything. even things that couldn't be possibly planned.. memory stone.. it is that.. unless you go further and alter everything besides yourself. things it couldn't do before it can. everything.. >"W-ww..what.. we.. did this day before?.. 3 times now!? did we meet here and talk about this too?" "Yes, every time I mess up the speech I tried again.. and you say the same thing.. no matter what changes I make you all do the same thing again. why? you're not real, none of you are. I don't think even I am.. why I'm allowed to do this I don't know.. maybe there is more for me then you, look at me! I'm just me! as I always have been, you? you turned into a vicious beast and so have others with this otherworldly magic.. why not me? because I'm not a monster inside. it reflects the true self.. just like the others you were only stopped through a magic beam.. "you know you did that to me once, magic beam.. I just put the stone back together and tried again.. you're so fucking stupid you know that?.. haahahHA I d-did it.. I finished the speech, ah.. you know i always m-mess it all up.." >sunset steps forward once "You're thinking you can stop me if you're fast enough, now you're recalling we did this before. now you're replanning.. we've done this all before, any last questions before I delete this from your mind and continue on my way? I think tommorow everyone is going to forget the last few years of their life.. see what happens when everyone wakes up 5 years older then the day before.." >"You can't! you WON'T" >"You're real, just as I am" "I-I don't belong?.. I'm.. a pony?.." >"N-no you misunderstand.." "I don't get it. just JUST TELL ME! WHY CAN'T I LEAVE?" >"Y-you're real to here, there is only One Wallflower Blush.. however you came into being you're more of a reflection of this unknowable world then a reflection of mine" >"You are a living creature may be a reflection of someone or something else there, I've checked here and everyone else is a mirror of one of my Equestrians or another creature of some kind even. but you?.. you don't exist there, you never have" "N-no.. what am I?.. I'm real? but this all isn't.. and I c-can't leave?" >"You have no magic within you, none at all.. you can't cross over.. and I can't give you any through any means. without magic you can't have it taken away or multiplied through artifacts or any method. Magic is a 'foot in the door' for itself, it can be taken and given through means kind and means not kind.. but without any? ever? you can't.. I'm sorry.." >There was a long silence before Wallflower began to punch the statue, her hands began to bleed and she cried out in pain and fear >Celestia grabbed her and pulled her away "N-NO! YOU CAN'T LEAVE ME HERE, LET ME GO LET ME OUT PLEASE" >Wallflower fought Celestia's embrace but wasn't strong enough. the Princess was powerful despite her appearance >In a glow of golden magic Celestia tried to heal Wallflower's hands but.. nothing happened >"I.. I can't even heal your wounds, I'm so so sorry.. I didn't know something like you could be born here, It wasn't something I could ever imagine.." >She hugged Wallflower tighter >"I'm sorry my little pony, You are forgotten because of that lack of magic, there is nothing I can do to help you be remembered. soon enough you fade from all their minds. it's.. fate.. and inescapable" >Wallflower stood up and pushed Celestia away "I don't want any hugs or 'sorry's in the universe to fix this. let me OUT of here. y-you must find a way.." >"I can't. I told you.. what do you think I've been doing this whole time you've messed with this world? you think I can't see your changes? I could have stopped you at any time.. I-I.. I had to try to fix this. I've spent this whole time trying to find a solution. the other Twilight has as-well. same with her friends and many Unicorns from my Special school.. there just isn't a way. there is nothing we can do.." >It started to rain and Wallflower peered up to the sky, watching >It started as a light rain but after a minute or so it picked up to heavy hard and cold rain >"I.. is there anything I can do for you?.." >Wallflower dropped the memory stone and began to walk home. >Celestia picked it up and inspected it. it was undamaged from the fall it appeared >"I.. I can let you keep this.. would that help?" >For a moment Wallflower paused but then she continued on home >For along while after Celestia stood in the cold rain "but why not? you're not real, I'm just waiting for that portal to open to your world. then I'll stop messing with this place and leave to the real world.. or the mirror one at least, ours is the fake one if any is. can't you see it? why magic works so well here? this place is a construct, its FAKE" >"you can't.. the other world will know, there are ways to tell.. I can tell them at any time" "w-w-what.. n-no.. how?.. you can't.. I-I." >"Yep missy I can write to Princess Twilight at any time with my magic book" >Wallflower smiled "Thanks for helping me tie up one more loose end, i've been waiting for you to be stupid enough to tell me how you do it, seems this time is different afterall.. well.. bye bye! see you next time" >"WAIT, NO!!-... >days, weeks.. months? later, Wallflower doesn't know >She stands infront of the statue, it MUST be open now.. the stars are in the right spot and everything >She pushes at the statue, nothing happens.. "OPEN! COME ON OPEN!" >It's the middle of the night, Wallflower will have to reset the day soon or go through the portal "Come on.. why won't you open?" >"Ahem" >Wallflower turns around to see Principal Celestia "O-oh! Ms Celestia.. I'm just h-hanging out.. yes I know it's late but I.. um.." >"You have me mistaken for someone else" >What? >Looking closer she sees the principal is wearing gold, a flowing white dress and a huge crown "Oh.. you're the other one.. how are you here? why can't I get it. let me in! let me OUT of this terrible place" >The Princess looks down and in a somber tone speaks >"I can't let you in" "why not! what's wrong with you 'ponies' you use my world as a prison for your magical beings and magical trash, let me OUT into the real world! let me out of here you you you.." >"Everyone here has a reflection on the other side. A different version of themselves" "So!?!? Maybe I want to see my other self" >Celestia hangs her head low, she can't seem to make eye contact >For a princess she seems very emotional and.. distraught? "W-why can't I come back with you.. please.. Princess I.. I hurt people here but I want to go, I don't like it here, they don't remember me, nobody cares at all. I'm just forgotten.. please let me go there" >"I-I.. I can't" "WHY NOT?!?! YOU CAME THROUGH, YOUR SUNSET DID TOO, WHY CAN'T I LEAVE?!" >Wallflower punches the marble statue, not drawing blood but bruising her hand >She grabs her injured hand with the other trying not to cry, not at the pain but at the truth "Please?.. I'll be good I promise, I'll bow down or whatever you do to a princess.. please" >"You misunderstand my little pony.. it's not because I don't want you to come, it's because you can't" >Wallflower sees tears in the Princesses eyes >"You were right, this place isn't really real like our home, its.. temporary.. long ago we cast things away into the mirror. magic and life flourished in the void and created this place. it seems to not only mirror our world but another unseeable and unknowable. that's why Ponies are.. "human" as you're called" "What do you mean I can't come through.. why not?.." >The Princess shuttered and held back something.. painful "Why not?.. why can't I come through" >"Others of your kind can cross over back and forth, Pinkie Pie sometimes does this with her other self.. they just.. switch.. it's odd but it's not prohibited by any means" "She.. does?" >"Yes but I, I must tell you why and how.. they can do this because of the real pinkie pie. she exists so does her reflection here in the Mirror" >a tear falls down Celestia's cheek "I-I'm.. a reflection?.." >"No" "But.. you just said" >"I did, Pinkie, Twilight and all of them. everyone else.. they are Reflections. you're not" "Then.. what am I?" >"You're real, just as I am" "I-I don't belong?.. I'm.. a pony?.." >"N-no you misunderstand.." "I don't get it. just JUST TELL ME! WHY CAN'T I LEAVE?" >"Y-you're real to here, there is only One Wallflower Blush.. however you came into being you're more of a reflection of this unknowable world then a reflection of mine" >"You are a living creature may be a reflection of someone or something else there, I've checked here and everyone else is a mirror of one of my Equestrians or another creature of some kind even. but you?.. you don't exist there, you never have" "N-no.. what am I?..
