Ep 22: The Unicorn Conference

*On her 21st birthday, Uniqua had decided to meet with a few of her past selves. She set out some of her favorite snacks and dishes throughout her life on the dining table before testing out a time travel spell that could allow the user to speak with themselves at any point in time. The spell opened up two rifts, two younger mares stepping out into the dining room.*

7yo Uniqua: H-Huh? What is this place?

12yo Uniqua: What just happened?

Uniqua: I'll explain everything. First, introductions are necessary. I already know you two. You don't know each other. You don't even know me. I'm you from your future.

12yo Uniqua: From the future? What does that mean? This looks nothing like the palace. This is way too modern.

7yo Uniqua: Did we marry a rich guy?

Uniqua: Uh, no. Not married yet.

12yo Uniqua: Oh, thank Kupanaha! We're still single!

Uniqua: Yeah, not single either.

12yo Uniqua: Wait... W-We're not?!

7yo Uniqua: Please tell me there's no weird, yucky things involved!

Uniqua: There isn't! Don't worry, we actually realized we were asexual a few years ago. We are in a relationship, though. He's very respectful.

7yo Uniqua: That's good. Can we meet him?

12yo Uniqua: I kinda already have a feeling who it is. Does he own this place?

Uniqua: No, he doesn't own this mansion. This actually belongs to our family. A human fell into the Underground, became friends with both kingdoms, and broke the barrier. Everyone started moving to the surface nearly a year after and we had some of the best workers build us a home.

7yo Uniqua: Does this mean Ma's still the queen?

12yo Uniqua: I don't think so. We rejected so many suitors. I think we became the new queen.

Uniqua: Exactly, we were crowned on our 18th birthday. It was like the prophecy said. It never said anything about childhood trauma being the reason for turning away every dude who approached us.

12yo Uniqua: That makes sense. How are Hoth and Digger? And Spikette?

7yo Uniqua: What about Spark?

Uniqua: I don't know the best way to tell you what happened to them.

12yo Uniqua: Is it bad?

Uniqua: Yeah, it kinda is. But we do have another dog now. His name is Bear. He's a husky.

12yo Uniqua: Oh, it's one of the crazy breeds.

7yo Uniqua: I still wanna know what happened to Spark, though.

12yo Uniqua: I know Spark is already getting old.

Uniqua: I think it was at least a year or six months before he passed.

12yo Uniqua: What?

Uniqua: I didn't wanna say anything at first because I remember him being the best dog. He helped out with so much during and after the trauma. We were that attached. Besides, you're both younger. I wasn't sure how you'd handle it. Now that you know, make sure you spend as much time with him as you can. Same with Spikette. She didn't pass until last year. But she was just as good as Spark while she was around. As for Hoth and Digger, they're doing well, too. Hoth and I both graduated high school. Now, he's working and going to college. He also made himself a digital lab assistant named Pixelle and later built a body for her. Digger struggled with adjusting to life here on the surface longer than I did. She came around and made herself a home in an alley. She's also in a relationship now, too. We met some Darkners, a race of people who live in these Dark Worlds, and she really hit it off with one of the Cyber Darkners. They became roommates and they both started catching feelings. Now, they're together. Spamton even now has an EX body like my boyfriend.

12yo Uniqua: Wait, what?

Uniqua: You'll get to meet him shortly. They're all coming over for a smaller party today. We'll be doing a larger one some other time.

7yo Uniqua: So, are Hothead and Ma doing okay, too?

Uniqua: Yeah, they are. Ma now works as a behavior tech in ABA therapy. She got her associates' and her bachelor's now. She's gonna go for her master's very soon. Hothead is in high school and he made honor roll last year. He's very interested in tech, video games, and coding. He's also the drummer for our band and I'm the guitarist. We also met another monster who can play the organ and let him join our band. We've done so many collabs with my boyfriend and his band. I think that's part of the reason why we exploded in popularity after moving to the surface.

12yo Uniqua: Wow, it really seems like we're doing much better. Did we fully recover from the abuse?

Uniqua: Not fully. But it did take a while to get where we are today. We did try college for a little bit but, it wasn't easy. We decided to come back to that idea another time and focus on healing and learning how to be an adult.

7yo Uniqua: Cool!

12yo Uniqua: I can see that we didn't grow much since being 12.

Uniqua: No, we didn't know the java chips had caffeine until it was too late and just kept adding them to the frappés.

7yo Uniqua: Why didn't anyone say something sooner?

Uniqua: I don't know, man. We made the decision to just drink mochas after finding that out and haven't quit. We may be 21 but, we still look like a child.

*The doorbell soon rang. They could hear Lioness letting someone in. It wasn't long before they saw Mettaton enter the dining room. He was hiding a gift behind his back.*

Mettaton: There's my beautiful girlfriend!

Uniqua: Wassup, Mett!

12yo Uniqua: Wait, we're dating him?! Mettaton?! As in THE Mettaton?!

7yo Uniqua: What?!

Mettaton: And who might you two be?

Uniqua: Mett, they're both me. One of them is seven and the other is twelve.

Mettaton: Ah, so during the trauma and just after the trauma. I see. Now that I'm meeting them, you haven't really changed since you were twelve. Are you sure you didn't stop aging past that?

Uniqua: I wouldn't be able to get an ID if that happened. Also, that would make our relationship look really weird. I'm still aging. I just stopped getting taller because of all the caffeine and my genetics.

Mettaton: Right, that's too similar to your trauma.

12yo Uniqua: How did we even pull this off?

Mettaton: Darling, my charm is irresistible.

Uniqua: Pair that with all the respect and understanding and you end up with a good partner.

7yo Uniqua: I am too afraid to say he's hot.

12yo Uniqua: So am I.

Mettaton: Now, I see where all that shyness is from.

Uniqua: Just don't call me cute, bro.

Mettaton: I'm going to because it's your birthday.

Uniqua: Says the guy who stumbled over his words reading Alphys' smut fanfics.

7yo Uniqua: What's smut fanfic?

12yo Uniqua: You don't wanna know.

Uniqua: Anyway, it was nice getting to talk with you.

12yo Uniqua: We should do this more often. Right now, we should be getting home.

7yo Uniqua: Yeah, I have homework that has to get done.

Uniqua: I might call you back over in another seven years. See y'all then!

7yo Uniqua: Bye! Have a fun birthday!

12yo Uniqua: Remember to watch those hands, Mettaton!

Uniqua: If he does anything weird with them, he'll lose them.

Mettaton: Darling, I care more about your mental well-being than my own personal desires. I couldn't possibly do that to you.
