Chapter 13 Starshine's Dream
It didn't take me long to get to my cloud home. I basically free fell from the mountain that Canterlot was on: it was pretty fun! Not Sonic Rainboom worthy, but good. It was still dark when I got to Ponyville which, thank Celestia, it was! My parents must be asleep… I slowly crept through my bedroom window… the lights were off.
My cloud bed was beside my window. It had blue star covers and pillows, which were also clouds. The walls were clouds and it made me feel like they were padded. The whole house was made of clouds except the floor, it was marble. My light blue piano was beside the door with a hoof chair, that was where I wrote most of my songs. A HUGE bookshelf was to my left across from my bed, and it had "Daring Do" books, but mostly my stories were on it (like this one). There was "Rome alone", "Rainbow Pan", and my favorite one I wrote "Wonder Colt". I spotted my favorite book on the shelf, by A.K. Yearling. I still couldn't believe my mother had met her: my mother used to be awesome and the fastest flyer in Equestria: She would fly everywhere. Now she would never fly, only when she had to. She hardly left the house, and only was a wonderbolt for one month and then quit. Now the fastest flyer title went to me: anyways the book was called, "A Nightmare Called Life". It was about a mare named Featherdreams who got bullied but struggled through it, and in the end the mayor took care of them and she had a happily ever after.
I wished I had a happily ever after the curse, but how would I fight? I've never fought before, except for on the train and in Ponyville. When… he was there…
Next to the bookshelf was a writing desk with organized pencils where I would write, and next to that my wardrobe and dresser which were also blue.
I tiptoed quietly to my bed. I flinched when I heard a crunch noise, and I looked down… I had stepped on a Dorito.
DANGIT!
I panicked when I heard the door creak.
Dang dang dang dang dang dang…..
Without thinking, I ran into the closest cloud wall.
Ouch…
Two figures stood in the doorway. I didn't think they could see me because they narrowed their eyes to peer into the room.
I flew up and behind my bed.
"Starry?" I heard Rainbow Dash ask.
This reminded me of when I got busted for sneaking out when I was a filly. I hid my Silver Star pendant behind my long blue mane.
"Starry" my Mom said, knowing it was me.
I heard hoofsteps coming towards me.
My parents faced me.
"Starry!" my mother exclaimed with tears in her eyes… she ran to me and hugged me, holding me close.
"We were so worried! We didn't know where you went. We didn't know when you'd come back! Oh!" She cried.
"Mom I'm fine" I said.
"Well you're home now and that's all that matters". Rainbow let go of me.
My father cleared his throat. "Your mother and I have made a decision. We were hard on you yesterday and we're sorry. We're just worried for your future, and this curse… this terrible, terrible curse… no mare would want it. No mare would ask for this to happen, so we are going to trust you to keep going to school… StarSwirl High School"
My eyes lit up, "You mean it?" I asked, they were trusting me again!
My Dad nodded. It was a miracle! My parents weren't going to lock me up! I smiled as I hugged my Mom and Dad.
" Thankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyou!" I said.
"But here's the catch" my Mom said as the hug broke apart. "On your eighteenth birthday… we will lock you up after school until sunset … understand?" She said.
I nodded. I didn't want to be an alicorn, I wanted freedom. But the only reason to get freedom was to lock myself up for one day. Plus it sounded better than being locked up for two years, fighting for my freedom, or being locked up for the rest of my life being engaged to The Lord of Chaos.
"Good, now get some rest. You've got your first day of 11TH grade tomorrow, and Scootaloo wants to fly to school with you" my Dad said.
Scootaloo? Yes! She was a close friend of mine, like my sister. She was older than me and got her cutiemark at her scooter. I was never that athletic, but she was awesome. She hung out with Applebloom (Cherryapple's aunt) and Sweetie Belle (Saphire gem's aunt). Sweetie Belle got her cutiemark in singing and Applebloom in building. Together they used to be the cutiemark crusaders, a "secret society" to help ponies find they're special talents. Scootaloo hardly came to Ponyville because she and the rest of the crusaders went over Equestria to elementary schools, teaching fillies and colts not to rush to get their cutiemarks. She would help me go on crusades to get my cutiemark, but they never worked. Now she was back!
"She's back?" I asked.
"Yes, and she wants to spend more time with you now that you know about the curse" My Mom said.
Wow she knew too.
We all hugged again.
"I love you guys" I whispered… I cried.
"We love you too" my Mom said.
They turned off the lights and closed the door: I was in my room alone.
I walked towards my window and I didn't notice, but my necklace was glowing bright blue. It burned.
"Ow!" I whispered.
I had to deal with it, but it burned like fire! Was this what magic feels like? I fell to my knees and cried out in pain.
"Honey? Are you ok?" my Mom called.
Dang.
"Uh, yeah" I rasped. "I stubbed my front hoof on my bed"… I lied.
"Do you want me to help you?" She asked.
"No I'm tired. I'm gonna hit the hay. Night!" I called.
"Night! I love you!" She called.
When I felt like it was safe I let out a sigh of relief. I walked towards the window and looked at the brightest star. It heard it twinkle and turned toward it… I gasped. I coundn't see it twinkle, but I could hear it!
Once Upon an Adventure
Dancing bulls, Pigs that fly, things I almost treasure
And a dream that meets the eye once upon an adventure
Someone help me through the storm set me free like being born
Things that truly make me gleam, these are things I wish to dream
Someone help me through the storm set me free like being born
Things that truly make me gleam, these are things I wish to dream
Ponyville used to be crazier than a plunger
Things my heart wants to dream once upon an adventure
And a dream that meets the eye… Once Upon an adventure…
I fell back first onto my bed and closed my eyes for a few seconds, then opened them again.
"What just happened?" I thought.
I had just broken into song… well, for ponies I guess you could say it was normal… ish
Well, I guess this was only the beginning of my adventure. I always dreamed about having one of my own, but not like this. I looked down at my star pendant.
"What are you?" I asked aloud to myself.
I sighed and sat up in my bed, I looked out my window.
Twinkle.
I heard it, and my necklace glowed and burned again.
I held it in and sighed. It was a long day. I'm tired from flying, and I just want to go to sleep. I fell asleep thinking "Why did this happen? What is happening to me? What is this necklace?"
I was trapped in the darkness. I gasped for air: I was underwater. Ponies laughing mockingly were inside my head. I had taught myself how to swim when I was five: it was basically like flying, and I swam desperately up to the surface and took a gulp of air. I was wet and dripping, my necklace was glowing.
"Help!" I gasped out.
The water I was in was brown… it wasn't even water, it was chocolate milk.
"Help somepony! Help me!" I screamed, it was raining chocolate from cotton candy clouds… it was a storm in an ocean of chocolate. I felt like there was no escape… I gave up and sank into the chocolate. Everything hurt.
"Do not give up Starshine!" a voice called out.
Princess Luna.
"This is your dream! Control it!" She screamed.
What? How would I do that? I felt helpless and afraid. I didn't want to feel that way!
Suddenly, blue light filled the chocolate milk, and it turned into water. I shot through the water and opened up my wings. Light filled through my hoofs and the whole area filled with blue light that blinded me.
I opened my eyes and coughed, I was lying in a white room. I stood up… I heard a flash noise and I saw there was light on my flank.
What's happening? When the light was gone I was JAW DROPPED.
On my flank was…
"My cutiemark"

Me: Sorry that this chapter was short, but I wanted to get this out of the way because I'm kind of stressed a little, and yeah I want to ask you guys a question. I want to know what you think Starry's cutiemark should be!
Discord: What if it was a flying pig!
Me: No... until the next chapter!
Discord: Or an infinity sign!
Me: No
Discord: Maybe a balloon?
Me: No
Discord: How about a picture of me!
Me: No! Whichever cutiemark I think's the best will be in the next chapter! See ya!
