A/N: Well this is the first chapter of Vision's vision, the sequel to Heart's tale. I suck at beginnings so forgive me if it isn't up to your expectations. Also I am starting exactly where I left off in alt ending of Heart's Tale. ~sci-fi brony.

Chapter 1: Heart's change.

Heart's Vision explained to Twilight Sparkle that he would be resuming his lessons. Heart told no pony about his brother. After a week Rose Spade reported him missing. Ponies searched for him but none found any trace. Rose trusted Heart to take care of himself and did not try to control him. Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon hadn't been seen bullying any ponies since Heart showed them the errors of their ways. Heart had successfully corrected every problem in his life. He looked forward to each new day knowing that he would find happiness in his love for Scootaloo and Twilight's lessons. The school year was coming to an end and Cheerilee had given a assignment to write an essay on what each pony had learned this year. It was the last day of school as well as the day to read the essays in front of the class. Heart was chosen to go first.

Heart took his place in the front of the class. He levitated his paper so that all he had to do was look down with his eyes to read it. He cleared his throat before beginning. "What have I learned this year? I have learned a lot this year. Most of it not from this class. I learned many life lessons, things I will never forget. The first lesson I learned was before I came to Ponyville. I learned what it feels like to lose a pony that you love. I learned how hollow it leaves you, a hollow that can never be filled. I learned that that pony can never be replaced. I also learned how other ponies deal with that loss. Some embrace that loss and move on. Others resort to substances to forget what they lost, leaving behind their responsibilities and the ones still alive that need them. That was my first lesson of the year."

Heart looked at his fellow classmates, focusing primarily on Tiara and Spoon. "The second thing I learned, I learned from a select few of my fellow students. The students I speak of are no friends of mine. They are a blight and that is what they taught me. They taught me that not every pony is worth their cost. These ponies are vermin that only sap the happiness from their peers. They care not for the ones around them but for themselves only. I learned that it is up to the other ponies to stand up to these villains. I learned that we all have an obligation to help our fellow ponies."

Heart had given Tiara a stare the entire time he was talking. He sent her a telepathic message. 'A friendly reminder. If I ever see you hurt another pony, I will not hesitate to snuff your life out.' Tiara had a look of pure fear. Heart continued his presentation. "I did learn more positive lessons as well." He looked at each of the Cutie Mark Crusaders, he held his gaze on Scootaloo. A smile came to his face just seeing the pony he cared so much for. "The third lesson I learned is that some ponies are too special to ever give up. These ponies are the best kind of ponies. They bring you happiness when you are sad. They go out of their way for you. They are the ponies that make this life worth living, but you must fight for these ponies. Make them happy as well and keep them safe or you will lose them and you can never get them back."

Heart focused back on his paper. "The fourth and final lesson I learned was one that I think was one of the most important. If your life is not where you want it to be then you need to fight. If something stands in your way, you need to deal with it. If you don't take your life into your own hooves, then you will never be happy. You have to take control of the present so that you have a future. That is what I learned this year."

Heart didn't wait for a response. He placed his paper on Cheerilee's desk before taking his seat next to Tiara. Tiara sat on the edge of her seat trying to be as far away from Heart as possible. The rest of the class read and turned in their papers and Cheerilee dismissed the class. Heart met with the CMC outside.

Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo, and Apple Bloom congratulated Heart on the well done essay before the four went to the CMC's HQ. The four sat inside the club house. Heart started the conversation. "Sweetie, how has you magic been coming?"

Sweetie had been practicing since seeing how much Heart can do. "I have been doing really well. I can perform both the illumination and levitation spell very well. I have been trying to perform the cooling spell, but I can't seem to give it enough strength."

Heart had thought that the filly would have this problem with the spell. It was one thing learning it and another to perform it with enough magic to make a difference. "I have an idea on how to help you."

"How would that be?"

"Let me show you." Heart didn't give her time to answer before he shot a dark beam into her chest. She fell back from her sitting position.

Scootaloo freaked out. "What are you doing Heart!?"

Heart waved his hoof dismissively. "Calm down, Scoot. I didn't hurt her."

Sweetie sat up. "What did you do? My horn feels weird."

"I will explain after you try to perform the cooling spell on the cups of water on the table over there." Heart pointed to the table.

Sweetie thought she had already explained to Heart that she couldn't do it. "I can't do that spell, though."

Heart had a serious expression. "Just try to."

Sweetie didn't look very confident. "Ok, I will try." Sweetie aimed her horn at the closest cup of water. She tried with all her might and sure enough a beam of cold shot out of her horn, freezing the cup solid. Sweetie was shocked at her own work. "What? I have been trying that for so long. How come I can all of a sudden perform it?"

Heart looked smug at his handy work. "Because I boosted your power. I have been working on the spell for a while now. I created it. Yes, there are performance boosting spells, but they drain the power of who ever performs them. My spell just lets you unleash your own power."

All three fillies were surprised Heart created a spell. Scootaloo had a question. "Why would you create this spell?"

Heart looked to his dear Pegasus. "For you. The spell doesn't just work on unicorns. It works on Pegasi too. Well, in theory. Will you let me try it on you?"

Scootaloo looked at her wings. She still had not been able to sustain steady flight. She could burst herself into the air but couldn't hold it for very long. She doubted that it would work on her. She didn't doubt Heart, she doubted herself. "You can try."

Heart didn't let her gloom dampen him. He shot his beam at her. Nothing seemed to happen. "Try to fly, Scoot."

The filly did as Heart said. She started to flap her wings violently. She was surprised when she started gaining altitude. She was filled with happiness when she could stay in the air. She started to fly around the room, which had plenty of space for her to maneuver. "I am actually doing it! I am flying!"

Apple Bloom and Sweetie were in awe. Apple Bloom commented on how she couldn't call her a chicken any longer.

"You got that right!" Scootaloo continued to fly around.

Heart hated to burst the bubble. "I know you are happy and all but the spell is temporary. You probably have an hour before it wears off."

Scootaloo was disappointed that it didn't last forever but was too busy enjoying the moment. "I will worry about that in an hour. Right now I am flying."

Heart was happy to see his work pay off. "I will see you gals later. I am going to see Twilight."

The group said their goodbyes. Heart began the lengthy walk to the library. Heart sent a message to Twilight. 'It is cool if I come to the library, right?' It didn't take long for him to get a response.

'You can come by. I have nothing to do. Don't expect any lessons, I don't have anything prepared.' Heart could sense that it was Twilight.

'I wanted to talk. I know that you like planned lessons.' Heart made it to the library. He came in without knocking. "Hey Twilight."

Twilight was waiting for him. "Hello Heart. What do you want to talk about?"

"I was wondering if we could increase our lessons. I was thinking that I could come here every day when I would normally be in school since the school year is over."

Twilight thought about it. "I guess we can schedule more lessons. I don't have a whole lot to do these days anyway."

Heart hopped up in excitement. "YES! I am going to learn so much."

Twilight loved seeing the colt get excited for learning. She didn't see that many fillies or colts get this way. "Calm down. We haven't even learned anything yet."

"I know it is just that I know that you are the best teacher there is."

"Flattery won't get you anywhere."

"I mean it. I wouldn't have learned half as much as I know now if some other pony had taught me."

"Thank you Heart. It means a lot to me to know that you appreciate my teaching."

"I really do. I will be leaving now. It will be dark soon, and I want to be ready for our lesson tomorrow." Heart left. He did not go home, though. He had to stop by Scootaloo's home. She would be going home soon too. He did not have to wait long before he saw her. He explained that Twilight would be teaching him more and said goodnight to her. He gave her a peck on the lips before departing. Heart went home and slept to be ready for his lesson tomorrow.

Fast forward sequence.

Heart's Vision learned many new spells as well as other information about magic over his break. He did some private research on education system in Ponyville. He found that if he could pass the graduation exam that he could graduate no matter his age. He studied and when he thought he was ready he convinced Rose Spade to give him permission to take it. He passed it and was let out of school four years early. Since he no longer went to school, he got a job working at Sweet Apple Acres. Applejack questioned whether or not to hire him but Apple Bloom told her to. Applejack agreed. Heart spent his time working, learning from Twilight, or hanging out with the CMC. Rose passed away from over dosing. Heart was old enough and had enough money to stay in the home. Shortly after, Scootaloo's parents divorced. Scootaloo didn't want to choose between her parents, so she moved in with Heart. She was still in school but was old enough to stay with Heart. Heart had grown from a scrawny colt to an average sized stallion. He knew more magic than any other unicorn in Ponyville. Scootaloo had gained her cutie mark, it was one big purple butterfly with two small yellow ones on each side. It represented her ability to perform stunts. Some ponies have been noted saying that "She moves as graceful as a butterfly." She grew into a perfectly healthy Pegasus, and she was a more than capable flyer. She couldn't keep up with Rainbow Dash but could pass most Pegasi in Ponyville.

Heart and Scootaloo were on the couch in their home. Heart sat up while Scootaloo laid with her head resting on Heart's legs. Scootaloo looked up at Heart. "What is on your mind, sweetie?"

Heart shook his head escaping from his thoughts. He hadn't had any horrible visions since Scootaloo and him had been together. "Nothing important." Heart looked at her cutie mark.

Scootaloo thought he was looking at her flank. She gave him a playful nudge. "Hey my eyes are here not down there."

Heart gave a smile. "I was looking at your cutie mark." He ran his hoof over it.

Scootaloo could tell he was telling the truth but wanted to mess with him. "Sure you were. It isn't like I haven't caught you looking at it before." she was smiling.

Heart looked at her. "Hey, don't blame me. You shouldn't be showing off precious goods like that. They might get stolen."

"What do you want me to do, wear a dress all the time? Because that is not going to happen."

"It baffles me that a mare like you managed to get such a girly cutie mark. The mare with the closest thing to it is Fluttershy, and you and her are polar opposites."

"Don't tease me about my cutie mark, Mr. Eye. Mine is way better than yours."

"Yours might look better, but at least mine doesn't make ponies wonder if the wrong cutie mark appeared."

Scootaloo knew how to make this conversation stop. She wasn't upset or anything. She just wanted to mess with Heart further. "If you don't stop, you won't get any for a month."

Heart knew she wasn't serious but wanted to milk the opportunity. "Oh no, don't neglect me. Forgive me, almighty goddess. I realize the error of my ways."

Scootaloo had her fun. "You are forgiven as long as you give your goddess a kiss."

"Happily." Heart gave her peck on the lips.

Scootaloo wasn't letting him get away with that. "I don't think so." She pulled him down into another but this on lasted a few seconds and was no peck.

Heart pulled away. "As much as I love this I need to start heading to work."

Scootaloo made a puppy dog face. "But who will keep me company?"

"I am sorry that I have to work today but Big Mac is ill and Applejack needs an extra hoof, or in my case horn. You can go hang out with Sweetie Belle or Rainbow Dash."

"I guess your right. I haven't seen Dash in a while." Scootaloo sat up letting Heart escape.

Heart got off the couch and headed for the door. "I will be back as soon as I can." He turned back to see if the Pegasus was going to leave right away or stay a little longer. He got something a little surprising.

Scootaloo had sprawled out on the couch trying to make herself look attractive. "Your goddess will be waiting."

Heart shook his head. "I would say you are a silly filly that needs to grow up but I prefer my marvelous mare just the way she is." Heart left before he changed his mind about going to work. 'I can be happy as long as I have her. I don't need anything else.'

A/N: that is the first chapter. I hope you liked it. Happy times from me to you.
