Chapter 7: Act of True Friendship
Outside of CHS, Twilight and the girls are talking to each other at the backlot of the school. Applejack has driven her granny's truck here so they can see the sunset. After getting a call from Sunny, they are also on the watch for the Memory Stone.
In the halls, Sun is running towards the back of the school door, but it's locked.
She looks through the window as she calls out, "Wallflower?!"
Sun looks to see Twilight and the others are outside. And exist the forest path, is Wallflower. Sun opens one of the school's window and jump out of it. Then run past the girls and the truck to her friend.
Sun cries out, "Wallflower stop!"
Wallflower stop to see Sun running towards her.
"Sun, what are you doing here?" Wallflower questions.
"I remember everything. The Memory Stone, how you felt for how you've been treated, all of it," Sun answers.
"What?! How?! I erased the whole afternoon!" Wallflower asks, not sounding happy and her eyes turn brown again.
Twilight and the others hear the conversation, and turn to see it with shocked looks on their faces. Realizing her mistake, Wallflower cheeks begin to blush.
Sun decides to ignore it, and try to reason with her friend, "Listen, I know how you felt. Sure I'm popular and friendly now. But back then, I was lonely."
"I find that hard to believe. And I am not only because I have… plants!" Wallflower says, in frustration.
Come to realize what she says, she holds her head, and mutters, "That sounded less lonely in my head."
"I'm sorry Wallflower, but please, you need to give me the Memory Stone before it takes you over again," Sun calmly says, trying to reason with her friend.
"Why?! So you can go back to your friends and soon enough I'll be alone!" Wallflower protests, sounding angry.
The two girls turn to see Twilight and the others there.
"And it's working!" Wallflower shouts, sounding upset.
Wallflower screams, in anger, and shouts, "How am I supposed to be your friend if nothing I do matter! I hate your friends!"
Wallflower covers her mouth in shock for what she says. Sun, Twilight and the other girls gasps in shock
"You hate them?" Sun quietly asks in shock
"I thought the only way to get your friendship is to erased you and your friends memories of each other. But obviously, that didn't work," WAllflower says, looking serious, and takes the Memory Stone out of her backpack.
"Yeah!" A loud voice comes up.
Everyone turn to see Trixie and the others.
Juniper says, "Because you didn't expect Sun to have friends outside of CHS."
They all around to confront the culprit behind the memory stealing.
"Sorry we were a little late," Trixie whispers to Twilight.
Then Indigo says, "It's over Wallflower. You have to stop this".
"Please Wallflower, this isn't you. You need to stop this," Sun adds in concern.
"Sun doesn't want this!" Lemon adds.
Wallflower stomps her foot on the ground, and shouts, "No!"
Everyone is shocked to see Wallflower gaining the glowing blue eye pattern on her forehead, the bottom of her hair extends moving and glowing a bright green color, and her eyes turn completely brown.
"I don't want to be alone anymore! I don't want to be treated invisible! I want you to be my friend and no one else!" WAllflower screams.
She looks at the stone, and says, "So… how about I erase all of the girls memories of high school,"
"You can't! You'll be stealing their memories of each other!" Sun tries to reason in shock.
Wallflower walks a few feet away from side on the side as she says, "They'll think of you the way they think of me."
"Which is not at all!" Wallflower announces, and uses the stone's power.
The stone unleashes a powerful beam of light and is heading towards the girls.
"Nooo!" Sun screams with tears coming from her face, and is it by the beam of light.
The girls gasp in shock as Sun falls to the ground.
Sun gets up on her feet as she says "I'm sorry Wallflower, but I'd rather lose my own memories then allowed theirs to be taken again. And…"
Sun then makes a run for Wallflower as she shouts, "I refused to allow you to be corrupted by the stone's powers again!"
The next moment, Sun grabs hold of the Memory Stone. Soon the two girls are surrounded by sparks of magic and a beam of light. Sun screams like she is in pain, but continues to hold on. Soon enough, all of Sun's memories are beginning to leave her head and go into the stone. It continues to give her pain, but continues to hang on with all her might. Sun them takes a picture from her pocket, and continues to cry
Sun holds the picture out to Wallflower, and begs her, "Wallflower… please… remember… remember all the times we had together. Remember how much your friendship means to me."
Something in Wallflower causes her eyes to become lighten. She then begins to remember all the good times they had together. Seeing the photo, Wallflower can remember how much her friendship to Sun means to her. And finally be able to see how much her friendship means to Sun.
Wallflower begins to shed tears, and says, "Sun…"
Suddenly, strong sparks of magic appears from the stone that causes Wallflower to let go and fall to the ground. Soon, Wallflower is back to her normal self, and her head hurts. Soon the large beam of light has disappear.
Wallflower looks up, and gasps in shock.
Then she scaredly screams, "Sun!"
Everyone is in shock to see Sun grabbing hold of the Memory Stone as her memories are going inside. She can't stand on her feet any longer so she collapses on her knees.
Sun turns to the girls, struggling as she says, "Twilight… girls… don't forget Wallflower… don't let her be alone anymore."
The girls become stunned to see what is happening, and Sun's request.
Sun then turns to Wallflower, and says, "Wallflower, promise me… that you'll try to make friends… allow friendship into your heart... "
Wallflower gasps in shock to see and hear what is happening. Soon all of Sun's memories are inside the stone and out of her mind. Sun hands falls on her knees, and the Memorie Stone falls out of her grasp. Then Sun collapses on the ground, completely unconscious. Finally, Sun's body turns gray, and her body becomes… lifeless. Twilight and the girls, including Wallflower are so stunned that they are afraid to make any movements.
Wallflower slowly walks to Sun's body, and kneels down to her.
She quietly says, "Sun…"
Then Wallflower moves her, and says, "Sun… please… wake up."
"Come on Sun… please… please," Wallflower begs as tears are starting to form in her eyes.
Everyone else are forming tears and now falling from their faces.
"Sun," Juniper says beginning to cry, and puts her hands on her face.
"Oh Sun," Sour adds, and begins to cry.
Everyone begins to shed tears to see Sun's body is not moving at all. Sonata even hugs Adagio in tears.
"Sun… why did you have to go and…" Trixie asks as she tries her best not to cry, but ends up crying harder.
"Sun…please open your eyes… please…" Wallflower continues as she tries to wake Sun up, but it's pointless.
Wallflower begins to shed tears as they fall to the ground.
"This is… this is…" Wallflower says, as she cries.
Then cries at the top of her lunges, "This is all my fault!"
Everyone look at the extremely remorse Wallflower with tears from their eyes.
"I didn't realized how much my friendship means to you! How much their friendship means to you!" Wallflower screams in guilt.
She then picks up Sun as tears continues to fall. She holds Sun's head with her right arm, and hold her waist with her left.
She looks at Sun's face, and says in remorse, "I… I allowed myself to be corrupted by the Memory Stone into thinking I can have your friendship all to myself. It was wrong of me to try and stop everyone from being your friend! None of it is worth it if you're unhappy! And now… we'll never have your friendship again!"
Wallflower then takes grabs her backpack, and takes something from her bag. A piece of paper.
Wallflower looks at it, and says, "This… this is the paper that I used to help erase your memories… I know it's not much, but I want you to have it… I… I want it to be a sign that you show me that you had a lot of love and friendship…"
Wallflower then places the paper on Sun's stomach, and puts her hand on it.
"I… I didn't realized how much my friendship means to you. How much you cared for me, until now…" Wallflower says as her tears continues to fall.
Then she hugs Sun as she shouts in sadness, "I'm sorry Sun! I'm sorry!"
Wallflower continues to cry as she hugs Sun with a strong embrace. Twilight and the others continue to cry knowing that a dear friend is lost to them forever.
Suddenly, the Memory Stone that is still on the ground begins to crack. Soon there are a lot of cracks around the stone. Just then, a green glow appears, and a stream of green light seeps out. Wallflower and the others notice this, and gasps in surprise. The green stream of light begins to travel inside Sun's head. Seeing the stream upclose, Wallflower can see those are Sun's memories of her. Once the light is fully in Sun, she begins to get her colors back on her body.
Soon enough, Sun begins to open her eyes. She looks a bit, and smiles to see Wallflower's face.
She slowly says in a calm tone, "Wall… Wallflower…"
"You're alright?" Wallflower questions in surprise.
She then hugs Sun in tears as she happily says, "You're alright!"
Twilight and the others begin to cry tears of joy to see Sun has one of her memories back and that she has finally awaken.
Wallflower let go of her embrace, but still holding her.
Wallflower sadly says, "I'm… I'm so sorry.
"I… I heard your voice… I heard how you feel… and I forgive you… And I'm glad that you're safe," Sun smiles.
Wallflower is surprised to hear Sun has forgiven her after what she has done.
Wallflower smiles, and says, "I don't deserve a friend like you."
Wallflower then helps Sun sit down on her knees. Twilight and the girls come in behind Sun.
Sun turns around to see the girls, and asks, "Who are you?"
Twilight kneels down to Sun with a smile, and answers, "We're your friends."
Twilight then gives Sun a hug, and let go with a smile.
"We all are," Gloriosa adds.
Then Applejack says, "We my not remember that."
"But after seeing what you did…" Pinkie says.
"The devotion to your friendship toward us…" Juniper replies.
Then Rarity says, "The sacrifice you made for all of us…"
"It shows you got determination… " Aria says.
"And a lot of heart…" Falling Star says.
Then Fluttershy happily says, "We are proud to call you…"
"Our friend!" Everyone chant with a smile.
Sun looks around and smile to see the girls support towards her. Twilight and the rest of the ten girls put their hands on Sun's shoulders with friendship smiles. Wallflower, the Shadowbolt Girls, Gloriosa, Juniper, and Trixie smile to see the happiness Sun and the girls have.
Suddenly, Sun's geode begins to glow. And a shimmering light appears in the area. The Shadowbolt girls and the others stand back in surprise as Sun and her original group of friends remain where they are. Just then, a yellow chest with red gems, and it has one lock on it in front of Sun. That chest is what Sun have been given from the Tree of Harmony, not that she remembers.
"What is that?" Sun questions.
"I think the chest is yours," Fluttershy suggests.
Suddenly, Sun looks down to see the paper that Wallflower has given to her begins to glow. Then notices something glowing in her pocket. She takes the object out of her pocket, and the heart stone Thorax has give her begins to glow as well. She doesn't know why, but Sun think she knows what they're for. Sun places the two in front of the keyhole, and a magic aura picks up the air. Soon the two objects merge together, and transform into a golden key matching her mark. Then goes in the key hole.
"I… I think you're supposed to open it," Rainbow suggests.
Taking the suggestion, Sun slowly grabs hold of the key, and turns it. With a click from the hole, the chest opens. Everyone are in awed to see what is inside.
Suddenly, a rainbow of eleven colors travels up into the sky, and lands on the Sun's geode necklace. Then rainbow streams of colors appears, and travel to the girls' geodes causing them to glow. Then, all the geodes begin to shimmer and sparkle. Suddenly, all of the eleven girls are pulled into the chest, and come out with explosions of magic.
Twilight and Falling Star first come out with new outfits and hairstyles, as they pony up. Then Applejack and Fluttershy pony up with new clothes and hair styles. Next is Rainbow Dash and Aria Blaze, they are wearing sparkling pants as well. Pinkie and Sonata have puffy like dresses. Adagio and Rarity have glamorous outfits, and they both have capes on them. The Dazzlings wings becomes sparkly as they shimmer light diamonds.
Finally, Sun has a new outfit and a longer hair style. Her wings shimmers in sparkles, but has red and light yellow highlights on them. Finally, the chest begins to transform into something wonderful. A long staff a little taller than she is. On top is her shimmering sun mark that has a ring around it with ten color gems matching the girl's geodes. Under it, is alicorn wings with a red heart gem in the middle.
Once the transformation is gone, the girls down belong are astonished to see what has happen.
Suddenly,Wallflower, The Shadowbolt Girls, Gloriosa, and Juniper begin to admit a strange aura.
Sugarcoat looks at it and wonders, "What is happening?"
"I don't know. But why am I the only one not glowing?" Trixie asks.
Suddenly, all the eight girls girls begin to circle around and create a beam from their chest, forming something over them in the middle. Trixie wonders what is going on, until she looks down to see the Memory Stone. Having an idea, Trixies grabs it, and throws it to the beams of light. The stone is not destroyed bit is put in place.
Seeing the sun begins to set, Trixie calls out, "Sun, there's still time left. You can destroy the Memory Stone and get everyone's memories back!"
Sun nods her head in reply.
Pinkie comes in, and happily shouts, "Well, what are we waiting for? Light her up ladies!"
All ten girls use the magic of their geodes to bring power Sun's staff. Swirling around it, Sun uses the staff to aim to the stone, and creates a magical rainbow beam. Then the beam of rainbow light hits the stone. And in an instant, the stone breaks into pieces. Soon all the memories are going back where they belong. Then a bright glow surrounds the airea.
Sun then finds herself in a white abyss. And then notices a shimmering green ball.
Sun smiles, and says, "It looks like I still have one more thing left to do."
Sun floats over to the ball with a calm smile on her face.
Suddenly a sound of a nervous woman asks, "Who… who are you?"
"My name is Sun. It's okay Regana, you don't have to worry about the Memory Stone again. I can help give you a better life," Sun says in a reassuring tone.
"Even after the trouble my stone caused you?" Regana asks in guilt
"Yes. I want to be your friend. I don't know what will happen now. But whatever happens, I promise to take care of you," Sun says with a smile.
The ball of magic floats to Sun, and says, "Thank you."
Sun holds the orb of magic close to her chest. Then uses the magic of her new staff to finish her works to help Regana have a better life.
Outside the white orb, Twilight and the girls still in pony form, Trixie and the others who have stop glowing look to see what happens now. Finally, the white orb floats down to the ground, and disappears to see Sun holding her staff… and something else.
Soon, they begin to hear crying of a infant.
Pinkie questions, "A baby?"
The girls circle around Sun to see her with her new staff and… shocking, a baby girl in her arms. The baby has light teal skin and short turquoise hair, and she is wrapped in a dark blue blanket, and form the looks of it, that is the only thing she has to wear.
The girls are surprised to see who the baby is, and it's female
"That's the sorceress… Regana?" Fluttershy asks.
"She's been…" Trixie questions.
"Reincarnated," Adagio concludes.
"Yes. I wanted to give Regana a better life. I guess that's what the magic decided," Sun answers.
As she tries to move, she starts to become weak and begin to fall. Wallflower and Applejack are able to grab hold of her before she falls.
"Easy sugar," Applejack says.
Twilight comes over, and says, "We're so glad you're alright,"
"I'm glad to remember you all again," Sun says.
"And you got a cool staff too," Indigo adds.
Sun looks at the staff in her sand. Suddenly, it changes into a shimmering sun like object, she can hold in her hand, in one side has five gems of different colors, and same on the other side, but different colors than on the left. Sun looks at the new object in her hand. Then she looks at the baby. The baby smiles and make baby sounds.
Wallflower let's go Sun, and says in remorse, "I'm so ashamed."
Wallflower then picks up a piece of the Memory Stone, and says, "When I first found the Memory Stone, I only erased little things. Awkward hellos, saying the wrong thing, literally every public speaking."
"I have plenty awkward moments I want to erase too," Twilight says, feeling like she can relate,
"We all probably have," Gloriosa says.
"But it's no excuse. I was so used to erasing memories that I got completely carried away, and got corrupted in the process," Wallflower says in sadness.
She sighs, and says, "I'm sorry for everything."
"It's okay. I'm glad that you're okay," Sun says with a smile.
Then Twilight says, "Plus, while you were in that orb, the girls were able to tip us in on a few things."
"Even though we weren't mean to you, I guess we weren't being very nice to you," Rarity adds.
Then Applejack says, "We never meant for you to feel excluded or invisible like that, and I'm sure the rest of the school didn't mean to as well."
"We're all super sorry," Pinkie apologizes.
Then Fluttershy says, "Everyone do matter."
"No matter how invisible they are," Falling Star says.
"Sun seems to think so," Trixie says with a grin.
Wallflower looks to see Sun smiling, and having her hand out towards her. With blushing on her cheeks, Wallflower takes her hand, and they both pull to a hug. The the two stop hugging and look down to see the new baby in Sun's arms.
Curious Sun asks, "So… what are we going to do with the baby?"
"I kind of have an idea," Sun says with a smile.
Sun then begins to explain to the girls what her plan is, sure it caught them by surprise, but agree it will be best for the new baby.
