Chapter 2: A Past Life

Spike and Twilight were in another room. The only other being in there was Owlowiscious, and all he could say were Abbott and Costello bits (well it's true).

"Spike what's wrong?" asked Twilight.

"Twi… do you know what reincarnation is?" asked Spike.

"You mean the belief that when some pony dies they're soul is reborn as some pony else?" asked Twilight Sparkle.

Spike nodded.

Twilight looked at Spike.

"What is this about?" asked Twilight.

"The thing is I remember my past life." Said Spike.

Twilight looked at him, "What?" asked Twilight.

Spike began to shake, "I knew them… in my past life. Ron and Hermione. They were my best friends and… and…"

Twilight looked at Spike, she had known him his whole life. She knew that he was telling the truth. She drew him into a hug. The two stood there for a few minutes, completely in silence.

"Twilight…" said Spike, "Please don't tell them… I don't know how they would take it. I'm not the Harry they knew."

Twilight nodded, "I think I understand." Said Twilight.

The two went to bed, knowing it was going to be a big day tomorrow.

After everyone woke up and had breakfast. Princess Celestia had left earlier so she could go back to Canterlot and raise the sun. they discussed the living arguments.

"Wait this is a library?" asked Hermione.

"Yes." Answered Twilight.

"Ron and I will stay here." Said Hermione.

Ron grumbled under his breath while Spike laughed. Something never changed.

"Fleur and I talked over breakfast I invited her and her family to stay." Said Rarity.

"That leaves three places." Said Twilight.

"Luna and I talked about staying at the same house." Said Neville.

"I believe you two should stay with me." Said Applejack, "The house back at the Orchard is always big enough for more."

"You live at an Orchard?" asked Neville.

"Yes siree." Said Applejack.

Fluttershy looked at Ginny.

"I think Ginny should stay with me… if that's all right?" said Fluttershy.

"That's fine." Said Ginny.

"Why?" asked Spike.

"No… reason." Said Fluttershy.

Fluttershy's reason was sound. Ginny looked well… broken. She had seen that face many times whenever she cared for animals.

"Looks like George, Angelina and Roxie are going to stay with me!" said Pinkie.

And odd chill filled the room, and Spike suddenly got scared.

"Say…" whiskered Angelina, "Is Pinkie Pie… a prankster by any chance?"

"Yeah… why?" asked Rainbow Dash.

"No reason." Said Angelina with a sad smile.

She knew that Pinkie Pie would bring back George's old prankster spirit back… even if it was likely that half of Ponyville will be destroyed.

"I'm also going to stay here if that's okay." Said Luna.

"That's fine." Said Twilight.

"Oh what about Teddy." Said Victoire.

"I'm supposed to be living with Ginny so I minds as well." Said Teddy.

"You better come and see us Mr. Grumpypants." Pouted Roxie.

"Stop calling me that!" said Teddy.

"By the way Spike, you did promise to help me today, weren't you?" asked Rarity.

Spike completely forgotten about it, to be fair, that "doozy" was very unexpected.

Shortly before noon, the ponies showed their guests to their houses, Spike managed to get into a conversation with Bill.

"So Spike, you're a dragon?" asked Bill.

"Yeah." Said Spike.

"Do all dragons talk?" asked Bill.

"Here, yeah?" responded Spike.

"Maybe in a few months I'll invite Charlie." Said Bill.

"Charlie? Who's that?" asked Spike, knowing full well who Charlie was.

"My younger brother. One of my two living brothers that come here." Said Bill, "He really likes Dragons."

"That's right… Fred died." Thought Spike.

They got to the boutique.

"Welcome to Carousal Boutique." Said Rarity.

"So what do you want me to do today?" asked Spike.

Rarity noticed Spike acting strangely but couldn't put her hoof on why. She shrugged.

"I need the garbage to be taken out." Said Rarity.

"Okay." Said Spike.

That was when Sweetie Belle came running in, she began to stare at the humans.

"Oh Sweetie Belle." Said Rarity, "I guess you can see our new guests."

"What are they?" asked Sweetie who couldn't staring them.

"We're humans." Said Victoire.

"Human?" asked Sweetie.

"Sweetie. How about you show Victoire around Ponyville." Said Rarity.

"Okay!" said Sweetie.

"Can you introduce me to your friends. I only had Roxie and Teddy and I'd like to make some more." Said Victoire.

"Okay." Said Sweetie, "Maybe we can get Tour Guide Cutie Marks!"

Rarity and Fleur watched the two leave.

"Is she your little sister?" asked Fleur.

"Yes. You have one too?" asked Rarity.

Fleur nodded, "Gabrielle, I haven't seen her in such a long time." Said Fleur.

"That's a shame." Said Rarity.

"But IO do talk to her a lot." Said Fleur she grabbed a small bag and took out a book (that seemed larger than the bag)

"That's amazing." Said Rarity noticing the size of the bag.

"I'm sure Hermione will make one if you ask." Said Fleur.

"That would be so useful." Said Rarity.

That was Fleur showed her the book.

"Was this?" asked Rarity.

"Hermione invented it, it's a two diary. It allows those with one to write instant letters to each other." Explained Fleur, "But I don't know if it works from universe to universe."

Fleur began to looked though the pages. She began to tear up, she saw a message in the book from that day. Rarity saw it and saw it was in French.

"What does it say?" asked Rarity.

"It says "Big sister, are you safe? Did it work?"" read Fleur.

Rarity smiled as Fleur took out a quill and ink from her bag and wrote back "I'm safe and it worked" in French.

Bill watched and smiled, it looked at like even if they were different worlds they would be able to communicate with certain friends as well as with his two brothers that were there.

At Fluttershy's cottage, the shy Pegasus were showing her two guests around.

"It's so sweet you take care of all the animals." Said Ginny petting Fluttershy's dear friend Hummingway.

"Yes, all the animals in Ponyville are my friends." Said Fluttershy.

That was when Teddy saw Angel Bunny.

"What's with the rabbit?" asked Teddy.

"Oh that's Angel, he's my special animal." Said Fluttershy.

Teddy and Angel stared at each other. There was a certain level of animosity in the air.

"Oh I think Angel likes you." Said Fluttershy.

It was that day that Teddy Lupin and Angel Bunny became mortal enemies.

That was when there was a knock on the door. Fluttershy opened it and it was… THE CUTIE MARK CRUSADERS! Plus Roxie and Victoire.

"So you're Teddy?" asked Scootaloo, "You don't look like a bear."

Teddy glared at Roxie who shrugged.

"Come with us!" said Apple Bloom.

"It's time for CUTIE MARK CRUSADERS TOUR GUIDES!" yelled the three little fillies.

"Yeah… I'll pass." Said Teddy.

"Please Teddy, I'm sure it will be fun." Said Victoire.

Teddy blushed at the blonde, he blushed so much his hair turned pink.

"Sure Vic." Said Teddy.

"Wow! How did you do that?" asked Sweetie Belle.

"I never saw any pony do that." Said Apple Bloom.

"Come on let's go!" said Victoire, "He can explain while you're showing us around."

Ginny stared at the door as they left, then began to laugh.

"I hope he becomes they're friend." Sighed Ginny.

"So…" said Fluttershy, "Why that evil Lord after you?"

Ginny looked at Fluttershy. "You don't have to tell me if you don't want to."

Ginny smiled, "It would be nice to tell someone new." She said.

She walked over to a stool and sat down, "It started years ago… with a boy named Harry…"

With Spike he had gotten back to library to find Luna and Hermione talking.

"Where's twilight?" asked Spike.

"She wanted to show Princess Luna around." Said Hermione.

"So where's your husband?" asked Spike.

Meanwhile Ron was at a restaurant, everyone was staring at him.

"Is there anything eatable?" he asked.

Lyra was staring at Ron.

"What are you?" asked Lyra.

"A human." Said Ron.

It was at the very moment that Lyra wanted to just like that… a human.

Back in the Library.

"Know him at a restaurant." Said Hermione.

Spike tried not to laugh.

"I came here to talk to Hermione." Explained Luna.

"Okay." Said Spike walking to the bathroom, he needed to take a bath.

"Harry is it true you're a direct link to Princess Celestia?" asked Luna.

"It sure is…" said Spike.

There was an awkward silence as Spike slapped himself in the forehead.

"See Hermione, Soul Dust surrounds those who remember their past life." Said Luna.

"What is soul dust anyway?" asked Spike.

"It's a type of dust that surrounds someone who is reincarnated and remember they're past life." Explained Luna, "There is was a girl a year below me who remembered her past life and often regaled her classmates about her life as the lover to a pirate king."

Spike stared at Luna.

"Although I'm unsure about Soul Dust is real." Said Hermione, "I have read many books about this phenomena, it's rare but not unheard of."

"Really." Said Spike surprised, "But then what about me?"

"It goes both ways." Said Luna, "Maybe you remember because of your magic."

"I know that's not it." Said Spike.

"What happened?" asked Hermione.

"You wouldn't believe me." Said Spike.

"You were reincarnated as a dragon where colorful talking ponies are the dominant species. I think I'd be able to handle your explanation." Snarked Hermione.

"Oh right…" said Spike who told her about the light white and voice.

"What did the voice sound like?" asked Luna.

"I can't seem to remember." Said Spike.

"I wonder if it's has to with Voldemort's return." Mumbled Hermione.

"Okay spill what happened?" asked Spike.

"Well according a pair of spies…" started Hermione, she proceeded to tell him about the Necromancy.

It say Spike was in shock, "Who's body did they take?"

"We don't know." Answered Luna.

"A lot of bodies were stolen." Explained Hermione, "Fred's, Colin's, even yours."

Spike paled when she said that.

"Thankfully, for the time being. It won't get as bad as before you died." Said Hermione.

"How so?" asked Spike.

"Kingsley Shacklebolt was voted at Minster, the corruption has gone down." Explained Hermione.

"And let me guess, he's able to fight off any assassination attempt that Voldemort deemed him off limits." Joked Spike.

"That's true." Said Hermione.

"Oh…" said Spike surprised, though a part of him did expect it.

"Is there anything you want to know?" asked Hermione.

"How was America taken over by Dark Wizards?" asked Spike.

"Oh… though Legal Muggle means." Said Hermione.

"What?" asked Spike.

"The Vice President, Deputy Chief of Staff and Sectary of Magic are all Dark Wizards they're not like Voldemort, they're goal is trying to take over the world supply of petrol." Explained Hermione.

Spike blinked… "Okay then…" was his answer.

"You consider yourself Spike don't you?" asked Luna.

There was a silence in the room, which indicated yes.

"Theirs is be expected." Said Luna.

"From what I heard, those who remember they're past lives always considered themselves the lives that is their current life and not they're past." Said Hermione.

"That's good." Said Spike.

There was a silence in the room.

"Please keep it a secret" said Spike, "Please don't tell anyone else. I already told Twilight, but that's it."

"Don't worry, we'll keep it a secret." Said Hermione.

"We wouldn't want to ruin our Friendship with you." Said Luna.

"FOREVER!" yelled Pinkie coming out of a bookshelf.

Hermione jumped, "Where did she come from?" asked Hermione.

"Pinkie… did you hear anything?" asked Spike.

"I didn't hear that you had a past life as a wizard named Harry and was friends with anyone here." Said Pinkie.

Spike having gotten used to Pinkie's antics, just went with it.

"Please keep it a secret." Said Spike.

"Don't worry, telling a secret is fastest way to ruin a friendship…" said Pinkie.

"FOREVER!" yelled a second Pinkie popping out of a window.

"How is she doing that!" yelled Hermione who was clearing freaking out about the pink pony.

"I really hope that she never finds out about the Pinkie Sense." Thought Spike.

That was when Twilight and Princess Luna entered the library, Twilight saw Hermione freaking out over something.

"What's wrong?" asked Princess Luna.

"There are two Pinkie Pies!" said Hermione calming down, she saw the second one was gone.

Twilight sighed, "Pinkie, do you think that you tone it down for the next few days while they get settled in." said Twilight.

"Okey dokey Loki!" said Pinkie coming out the bookshelf and then skipping in her usual Pinkie way while humming.

Spike shrugged, hopefully they would get settled soon. But now he had to take that bath.

Back at Fluttershy's Ginny finished her story. Ginny couldn't stop crying. Even Fluttershy was tearing up.

"I'm so sorry…" said Fluttershy.

"That's okay." Said Ginny, "I know for a fact that where Harry is he is happy."

Fluttershy stared at Ginny.

"It's nothing, just pretend I didn't say that." Said Ginny wiping away any tears, "That all in the past, I'm going to start a new life here and my life is no longer in danger and everything is going to be fine now."

Fluttershy stared at Ginny.

"I am definitely not in denial. I'm going to take a walk." Said Ginny leaving the cottage.

And so the wizards began they're new lives in Ponyville. Not knowing what is in the future or if they're lives were truly out of danger. But for the time being they can just live in peace.

Next Time: The humans have adjusted in living in Equestria. Neville and Applejack have become good friends. And both of them have noticed Spike's strange behavior will they be able find out what's going on? Meanwhile Pinkie Pie decides to reignite George's prankster spirit by attempting a prank war!
