CHAPTER I: Mom's PROBLEMS:

On the outskirts of Ponyville, I hid in an alley full of raccoons and rats... eating trash?! Gross! I was so jealous of them because I didn't pack any lunch and I'm starving! I saw my mom, Sunset Shimmer, trotting through Ponyville with Princess Twilight Sparkle, talking about their days of having kids, or whatever. But, I did hear this:

Sunset Shimmer: (sighs) "What a lovely day to be in Ponyville again! I wish I could see more of it..."

Princess Twilight Sparkle: "Well... You can! Zecora's place is in the Everfree Forest!"

Sunset Shimmer: "You mean that pony with glowing green eyes of a snake monster with three heads? Yeah... She was scary, at first. But, who is she? You met her, Twilight. What is she REALLY?"

Princess Twilight Sparkle: (rolling her eyes) "Yes, Sunset." (laughing) "I did. She's a sorcerer like Star Swirl the Bearded! I think I brought him and the Pillers of Old Equestria to life again... Amazing right!"

Sunset Shimmer: "Yeah, I wish YOUR parents could see that! But, if I were the one to make that happen, I would wish that MY parents were there to even witness it... But, they... they... a-a-a-a-are..." (sobs)

Grandma...Grandpa... They...

"Disappeared," Mom had said, "let's just say... I don't know where they were or go, they just... left."

She also just said that to Twilight as well, who then comforted her by patting on her shoulder.

I felt tears, bursting into boiling water, sinking into the ground as they please. I sniffed. I slowly unraveled the dark blue cloth that was covering my mother's secret. One, at least I think so. The cloth that I hold now held one of Mom's prized possessions. Her journal...

"This is it," I said to myself, checking if anyone was around. I then blew the dust off and coughed. Ugh! I thought. How long has it been in the basement? Twenty years?

I stopped thinking. I soon opened the book and started from the beginning "Mom, what are you hiding?"

(I might as well start from the beginning. That's what authors and storytellers do, I guess...)

ONE MONTH EARLIER:

"Hey, M.D!" someone shouted behind me.

"GAH! Oh! Hey, Cranberry! What's up?" I was that startled. I looked and saw her with a familiar item.

"Your guitar," she said, looking at its black case. "You left it at the skatepark next door."

A side note on Cranberry: She is the middle triplet from the Fluff family. Her siblings are Mulberry (the older triplet) and Strawberry (the youngest triplet). The are the ONLY (and I repeat, the ONLY) triplets of Flash Sentry and Raspberry Fluff. The three of them are sixteen years old. As the middle triplet, she is one fiercely competitive girl! Although she is oftenly very cheerful and happy, she'll be a totally different person when she shreds the guitar onstage, especially if she's playing the drums, or if she is singing a song. Cranberry is a jack of all trades, and has been desperately trying to form a band with me for years since we the day we've meet at CHS.

She is an excellent secret keeper—unlike Applejack Cocojack (more on her later!) who is terrible of keeping secrets—and a strong independent gal you can count on! Well, in my perspective, yes... Anyway, when she is not performing, Cranberry and her youngest triplet, Strawberry (as mentioned before), would love to go shopping together!

After I tried out for the school's acapella without her, she (Cranberry) felt betrayed. I apologized for making her feel bad. She forgave me and we are still best friends to this very day! But enough about her! This is MY story, not hers! Anyway, where was I... Oh yes! Now I remember my place here! Okay, wait... Now, I am ready to finish where I left off! AAHEMMA!

Cranberry was carrying my lost guitar, and its case was almost scratched and all dirty! I grabbed it out of her hands and stuffed it into my locker, next to a "borrowed" book. Cranberry looked at the mysterious black rectangle in my locker and asked, "What's that?"

I sighed and told her to meet her at Pinkie's Sweet Snacks Café after school at approximately 4:30 PM.

"I'll bring it there. Trust me, it's about my mother... and Princess Twilight."

She gasped. Her eyes were shimmering like stars. She is a fan of Princess Twilight. She'll do anything — yes, ANYTHING— to meet her or go on adventures, quests, or anything involving Princess Twilight Sparkle, not to be confused with Sci Twi.

"Princess Twilight! Princess Twilight!" That's what people talk about every time! They would ask her how her day was, or how she will raise her children to become the heir to the throne. She was annoyed by that so much that she has to call Princess Celestia and Luna for help. Although Twilight wasn't a queen, the Princesses still inherit the throne to this day.

You see, I was in the human world called Canterlot City. More like a Canterlot version of Equestria, but a high school. By the way, Cranberry quickly accepts my invitation and ran off to her Science class. While anyone wasn't around the hallway,—which, by the way, was empty for once—I opened my backpack to look around for an old book. I blew the dust from the cover. It was old, and even dusty, but it was memories. My old yearbook.

It wasn't the one I was talking about from the start, but I felt like looking through it again. I saw it... I read the headline:

"MISS CHEERILEE'S CLASS, 9TH GRADE"

I saw my name at the seventh picture on page 12. It said: "Morningdew Shimmerbass: Most likely to be destined for greatness while helping others in need of help or advice."

I'm not sure, but I was going to that Café tomorrow.

THE NEXT DAY:

My mom called me over to talk. We were in bed. I was taking a shower, and she was watching a football game. Look, she had been a pony more than anyone in Canterlot City, until she got here. She was drinking coffee just so she can stay up late. I was changing my clothes until I was called over. I had already finished at this point, so... Why not?

She turned off the T.V and looked at me. She had a tired look on her face. Coffee stains were stuck to her cotton pajamas. And her hair was frizzy like an owl mixed with a hedgehog, a cat, and a dog's fur. Frizzier than Judie Moonsday—my all-time favorite characters—herself! She coughed. I wondered why. Maybe from too much coffee, I guess.

"Honey," Mom said, with a cough. "I don't feel well..."

Her voice trailed off. She continued to cough until she was able to speak.

"Bring... me... water... now!" she spoke quietly.

I ran over to the kitchen while she grunts quietly in the room. I swiped the water from the counter and raced over back to her bedroom. I gave it to Mom, who then chugged the half of the water in ONE go!

"Morningdew," she mumbled. "Grab my hand..."

"What?" I asked.

"My hand!" She choked. "My hand!"

I grabbed her hand and saw the light in my eyes. I was going through her memory again. I have some of her power—including more powers that she doesn't have—to see into people's memories. Recent or old, I would know by grabbing their hand. I saw her. Talking to Pinkie Pie, with purses in her hands. They saw Thunderbass... My Dad?! I saw Thunderbass, with under girl, with long, dark-green hair, and light minty skin. Her freckles were like Applejack's. Suddenly, I recognized her...

Wallflower Blush?! I thought with a shock. I remembered her golden eyes—like Spitfire, Thunderlane, and Lightning Dust's eyes—anywhere!

I kept going into her memory. Thunderbass and Wallflower were... holding hands? And, somehow, they kissed? I was shocked. Pinkie Pie was patting her shoulder as Mom cried. She ran all the way home. Pinkie followed her. But, I saw this fiery, green beam surrounding the two. That beam only meant one thing... Changelings are in Canterlot City, guys!

This never happened before! I fast-forwarded to Mom, eating ice cream in her room, including drinking coffee on the side. She had locked herself up in her room. Isolated from society... The outside world. I was allowed to come in and take a shower when she felt better, which happened of course! But, she felt sad again. She flapped her hand to signal me that she needed some alone time. I closed the door.

I felt bad. I wanted to get to the bottom of this. I also remembered that I have to go to Pinkie Pie's Café to see Cranberry. I'll deal with the Changeling problem later. Right now, I need some serious explanation to clear up with her there... BRBG!

SO... YEAH... I KINDA ADDED THE BIO FROM THE "CRANBERRY :REFERENCE:" BERRY MADE SO... SORRY! I APOLOGIZE, BERRY! TO MAKE IT UP, I'LL MAKE ANOTHER CHAPTER... WITH A WARNING NEXT TIME! I SWEAR! PINKIE-PROMISE... 2.0! CROSS MY ARM, HOPE TO SOAR. I WILL STEAL A CUPCAKE FROM YOUR DRAWER!

BYE!
