The Wings

The Tree

Blurry pictures danced in my head. The panther appeared and he brought an army. It was a black cloud and swarmed towards Equestria. My friends summoned the Elements of Harmony and I added magic. We ained a giant beam that turned into an epic alicorn. (Off to Equestria Girls: Rainbow Rocks if you haven't seen it)

The alicorn shot at the black swarm, it ricocheted back and the alicorn screamed in pain and died. My friends were knocked out and laid on the ground. I was in my cheetah form and dived into the swarm with rage. They all caught me and I pounded into the ground.

I looked at my friends and wept. I got up and held my ears in between my legs. I was scared, the swarm dived towards me with their claws and swords. I braced for pain but nothing came.

"Are you alright?" A dark blue pony with a wavy and sparkly hair walked out and zapped the army. I knew it was a dream now. Princess Luna was the mare that entered into dreams and nightmares. I looked at her and nodded.

She said. "This is a strange nightmare. This is your fear, isn't it? Your friends unable to help and you're the only one left."

I looked at the ground sadly and tears welled in my eyes. She put on a kind face and changed my dream. I was on a beach during a beautiful full moon, my friends were splashing at the shore and called me to play. Princess Luna pushed me to them and I smiled.

She disappeared into mist and I ran to join my friends happily. We had fun and played fun water games, I wonder how long this will last. I don't want to wake up. Wait, too late.

"Wakey, wakey, eggs and no bacy." I shot around and looked up all around me. Pinkie was near my face holding breakfast, I sighed in relief and sat back down.

Pinkie put the plate on a table that goes over the bed. Applejack was already and was digging into an apple fritter and some apple sauce. My regular oat meal with cinnamon and cold milk was set in front of me.I thanked Pinkie and started to eat.

I levitates the spoon and scooped oatmeal into my mouth. It was hard to eat with fangs, so I slid back into pony form. I dug back in and ate until I was fat as Pinkie's biggest balloons. Mmmmmmmm. It's like happiness and joy mixed into a bowl of love, washed down with refreshing fun.

I got bored and transformed between cheetah and pony. Woosh, woosh, woosh, woosh.

Twilight was reading a book and got annoyed with the noise of the transformation. She slammed the book and made a fake smile and spoke with fake kindness. "Will you please pick a form so that I may read a book?"

I nodded, knowing she was irritated. I picked pony form since I hadn't been not stared at for a while. My hair was messy, so I asked Rarity for a brush. She happily gave me the brush and I combed my hair until it shined.

My golden streak in my hair shimmered as I combed it. It was almost flowing like the two sister's hairs. Like I said, ALMOST. I magicked the comb back to Rarity and I got bored again.

Pinkie was out working in Sugarcube Corner. Flutters was feeding her animals. Rainbow was training in the Wonderbolts Academy for the day. Applejack was sleeping and you couldn't wake her up unless you want a buck to the face. Finally, Twilight was still reading a book.

I switched back into my cheetah form and preeelned my wings. We need to keep dirt off our wings or we'll have problems while flying. Preening was hard since I wasn't a pegasus for my fillyhood life. One feather at a time was too long, I finally finished after forty-five minutes. Bright, shiny feathers was worth the work though. Bbbboooorrrreeeeddd. Twilight was still reading her book so I tiptoed past her to the door.

"If you're going outside, you better not cause problems." She said without looking up.

I smiled guiltily and went into the hall. I have been in the hospital for a week and patients got used to me. They smiled and some said hi as I walked to the rehab garden. Some old ponies were sitting on a bench and little fillies without hair played on a jungle gym. My heart sank as I saw they didn't have hair because of cancer. At least they are being happy while they live.

I went to a cloud next to a red delicious tree, I'm still not afraid to eat red delicious apples after the incident. I picked one and looked at it for signs of poison. It was normal and there was no green goo on the peel so I took a bite, tasted normal, too. I swallowed and waited for signs of sickness.

One minute, two minutes then three. Nothing. I smiled and ate the rest of the apple. I kept the seeds and I flew to a vacant part of the garden. I dug a small hole and tossed the seeds there. I jumped up and down on the cloud to water the seeds. I took it away and picked weeds near the seeds and looked at the small dirt mound in front of me. I felt an instinct and I felt an urge to sing. I sung in a language I don't know but I understood everything.

"Dear little seeds I want you to grow, but please grow faster than the ones who grow slow. Dear little roots please reach into the ground, and push your stem up through the mound." A small sapling grew up to the dirt and continued to grow. The old ponies and fillies gathered around me and called other patients over. Doctors and nurses went to the crowd and watched as well.

"Dear little leaves please gather the sun, let's make food so your tree is fully done. Please bear fruit so we mat eat well, then you can live inside the wooden shell." It grew into a full grown tree and flowers appeared on its branches. Ponies awed at the tree, I kept singing further.

"Your apples so sweet, so juicy, so red, my work here is done and I'll miss you with dread. But wait a minute, I have a gift for you, here is some magic to live forever through." I stopped singing right there. A blue stream came out of my mechanical Wasez heart, it flowed into the tree and it pulsed in its leaves. Red apples, blue apples and one that is violet grew on the branches.

They swelled with juice and ripened with ease. Heavy apples dropped down and new ones replaced them. The violet one stayed on the tree though it's the fattest apple there. The little fillies picked then up and ate to their heart's desire. Other ponies joined them until they couldn't eat another bite. The violet apple taunted other ponies with its fatness, some tried to pick it with all their might yet it couldn't come down.

Twilight came running in and looked at me like I had two heads, she asked. "What happened here? Where did this tree come from? Why is there a VIOLET apple?"

I told her everything and she took notes. I told her about the language I sang and I told her I could understand it. She scribbled hastingly with her notes non-stop. I finished and she read her notes carefully, she walked up to tree and zapped the apple.

Editor's notes: Wait, who told you that they are the Elements of Harmony? Oh wait...the soul evolution process, right.

Also, just a reminder, hospital provides food but that doesn't mean visitors can't bring for the patients as well! So I don't really mind them eating something else.

It's interesting that you actually included preening in this since I'm not sure how many MLP:FiM fans are aware of the pegasi reenacting bird stuff thing but I'm glad you know this!

Also, the fattest apple was originally purple but then I remembered that there were blue apples too. So, I switched the color to violet since that's the perfect blend of red and blue. It you say purple, then it's more blue-dominated.

Nobody payed attention to the blue apples?! Blue is such a rare color in nature! How dare you ignore them, Twilight Sparkle.

Here are the changes I did for this chapter! First, the word "star" in explaining Princess Luna, then replacing every "mane" I see with "hair," then the song's spacing, it was originally like this:

'Dear little seeds I want you to grow, but please grow faster than the ones who grow slow.'
'Dear little roots please reach into the ground, and push your stem up through the mound.'

Your rhyming skills has upgraded :0 Nice! And the last one is adding the "Wasez" between the words "mechanical heart."

Suggestions:

• Blue apples. Do not ignore them. I'm sure nobody has heard of a blue one before even though there are green, yellow and pink-ish ones. Make the ponies suspicious!
