My Little Pony: Prophecy from the Future

Chapter 4

About two weeks have gone by since Melody arrived from the future in Ponyville.

Fluttershy was at Carousel Boutique with Rarity and Sweetie Belle the next morning when then Melody broke through the door, panting.

“Fluttershy! Why didn’t you tell me where’re you going!?” exclaimed Melody with anger, and was even more surprised when she saw Rarity and Sweetie Belle. “You told them!? You promised me not to!”

“But Rarity was with me when I went to Zecora,” explained Fluttershy. “She desperately wanted to know what I have seen, but she’s been so busy these days that only now she wanted to know from me.”

“What!?”

“It’s true,” said Rarity. “I remember the day we took the train to Canterlot, you seem not to talk so much to us or even the passengers! And ever since you saved us from Queen Myra’s minions, you seldom come out to Ponyville! Why did you tell her if you don’t want anypony to know?”

“She busted me,” blamed Melody to Fluttershy.

“W-wait! It’s not like that!” protested Fluttershy.

“C’mon,” said Sweetie Belle. “We won’t reveal your secret to anypony else!”

“You sure?”

“I swear we’re sure!” replied Rarity, and she began to leave.

“Which reminds me,” continued Sweetie Belle. “Did you say you saw some colt called ‘Silverbolt’ in your dream?”

“I did,” said Fluttershy. “He was… cute. And adorable.”

“Um… how cute was he?” Melody turned and asked.

“Why, darling?”

“Uh… never you mind!” She said and went out of the boutique.

“Alright,” whispered Fluttershy. “A promise is a promise, so we can’t tell that to Twilight and everypony else!”

“Right!” agreed the sisters.

Melody went back to Fluttershy’s cottage, into her room and collapsed onto the bed, with a miserable face.

“Dandy…” cried Melody, with tears in her eyes, and her flashback began.

It was Hearth’s Warming Eve, in Canterlot in Melody’s time.

“Such a nice view,” said Melody to a Pegasus stallion. “I mean, it’s wonderful to view the whole of Equestria covered in snow during winter!”

“I agree,” the stallion, Dandy, who was Discord and Fluttershy’s son said. “With the Princess letting me to stay with you, it’s very nice to be with you.”

“Oh, Dandy,” laughed Melody playfully. “As my dearest bodyguard you never seem to change, huh?”

“Well, despite this dark time of Queen Myra…”

“Your Highness!” a guard called to Melody. “Princess Celestia wants to see you!”

A few minutes later, at the palace.

“I’m afraid I had bad news,” said Princess Celestia sternly. “Your mother has mysteriously disappeared on her way to the Crystal Empire, and so does Discord.”

Both of them gasped with shock. As Melody cried into Dandy, he proceeded to ask further.

“How… did this happen?”

“As I said, they mysteriously disappeared without a trace. We believe that they might have encountered into Queen Myra’s traps.”

“Curse her!” another guard said.
