A group of ponies could be seen all trotting together in a street, all of them heading towards Canterlot and to Princess's castle. Ordinary pony folk looked upon the visitors to Canterlot and immediately recognized the mane six however were surprised of the new comer that was with them. That new comer was Vinyl Scratch and never before in her life did she feel so isolated and new. Applejack noticed Vinyl's cheeks becoming red from shyness and decided to reassure her.

"Hey boo, don't think of them as strangers. Think of them as new ponies you'll meet later" Applejack told her with a smile.

Vinyl smiled back and nodded her head in acknowledgement and her cheeks lessened in their red hue. But deep inside Vinyl was still nervous about everything, especially about meeting Celestia. She was about to say something to Twilight but cried out in pain and grabbed her head immediately.

"Oww! sss ow!" she yelped, holding her head in pain.

Vinyl flinched and closed her eyes tightly before she stopped trotting and fell down in pain. She rolled around while holding her head for a couple of seconds before she finally ceased, becoming as still as a rock. The mane six stopped trotting right away and tried to help her but Vinyl had already passed out in pain, completely knocked out from whatever it was causing her such intense pain.

"Vinyl? Vinyl!?" Applejack said with such concern to the unconscious Vinyl.

Hmmmmm my head.....oh man my head.....

That's all I could think of as I started coming to, slowly opening my eyes and slightly flinching at the pain. I could tell right away there was someone on my right and whomever it was definitely cared about me because I could literally feel it radiating from who ever it was. Of course, my initial reaction was as general as anyone else's.

"Mommy?" I quietly called out to the person on my right.

I couldn't quite see whoever it was clearly but I could tell he or she was smiling back at me and softly laughing.

"If you would like to think of me as so." the person replied to me, continuing to smile at me.

That's when I finally realized that whoever that was was not a person but a pony, very pretty and had white fur just like me. I opened my eyes even more as I started realizing who it really was.

"Wait aren't you-"

"Celestia? Why yes I am Celestia, Princess of the Sun."

I gulped, surprised that I knew that she was important, almost like the President. I immediately felt rude for not introducing myself and using my manners.

"I'm sorry I forgot my manners. I'm -"

"I know who you are. A very special pony and we are honored to have you here in Equestria, Vinyl Scratch." Celestia interrupted, bowing her head at me after finishing and smiling.

I laughed nervously and smiled back and I could tell she knew my apparent hesitation.

"So umm how did you know that? I mean besides Twilight telling you."

"Well Vinyl, I know who you actually are. Before you became the pony you are now. See for a long time I have observed you ever since you were little and I knew from early on in your life you were the "one"" Celestia said, pausing after she said the last part.

"Wait umm what do you mean the "one"? I'm a little confused about that part." I nervously laughed, almost hiccuping and shaking from anxiety.

"Vinyl, you are perhaps the most noble and brave human being I have ever seen and I know for certain that Equestria could use a great being such as yourself."

I didn't know how to take that compliment so the best reaction I thought that was appropriate was looking down at the floor while my cheeks became rosy. However that was short-lived as she continued.

"I knew when you were going to die the day you did and I acted fast to save your spirit although I was unable to save your mortal body. I helped guide your spirit to Equestria where your spirit took physical form although due to crossing over the realities and compatibility issues, your spirit was converted to your present form, a mare."

I slowly raised my head up and my cheeks quickly lost their hue of red.

"I'm sorry, you said you knew I was going to die?" I said, my voice wavering.

Celestia stopped smiling and said nothing as she continued looking at me, slightly lowering her head in shame. My face started to transform into a face of anger as I let my anger consume me, an unhealthy trait from my human side. I could feel my head become hot as my anger boiled within me, causing me to shake in the bed I was lying in.

"So you watched me try to commit suicide all those years ago? I mean not just once but TWICE? And you did nothing? I freakin' yelled, screamed and hollered for help yet you just watched me struggle. The countless seconds, minutes, hours and days I spent in that dark time of my life thinking I was all alone shedding tears of rivers and oceans, yet you were there, just watching from the freakin' sidelines like a helpless cheerleader. I really thought I was alone Celestia and that no one loved me or would help me. I think you got some sick satisfaction from watching the rope snap on me twice didn't you? Do you know how helpless I felt, and how horrible I felt when the freakin' rope snapped on me twice!? I felt like nothing would ever work for me Celestia, even killing myself. But oh wait that's right you knew when I was going to die. You freakin' knew my attempted suicides weren't going to work yet you didn't at least try to dissuade me and make me feel better. No just let me suffer why don't you! JUST LET ME SUFFER WHY DON'T YOU!! But when I finally die, that's when you decide to step in. That's when you decide to "save" me! From what Celestia? From myself!?" I yelled angrily at Celestia, my voice shrilling and almost 4 octaves higher than what I was used to.

I huffed and puffed from all the air I used to scream, slowly lowering my hoofs that I had raised while screaming to my sides. I took a deep breath and swallowed, taking several minutes to calm down and then looked back at Celestia. Celestia returned her gaze back to me and all I could see was a single tear falling down her face, landing on my bed.

"Vinyl, you are such an important pony, don't ever think you are ever any less." was all she managed to say after my shout at her.

I felt bad about screaming at her and I almost cried, because when I get mad, I hurt not only those around me but myself as well. However Celestia got closer to the bed and she raised one hoof on my mane, slowly combing my mane with her hoof, almost just like how my mom used to run her hand through my hair when I was hurt. I started whimpering as I started remembering my family again, and tears flowed from my eyes as I quietly cried.

"What's wrong Vinyl?" Celestia sincerely asked me.

I looked over to her and sniffled, my lips quivering as I thought about what I was going to say.

"Even though I've never felt more happier in my life being in Equestria, I have also never felt more sad. When I was human I had a family and I still love them greatly. Now that I'm here, I don't think I'll ever see them again" I sobbed, frowning with sadness.

I went on telling Celestia about Mommy and Maise, about how much I loved them and how truly essential they were to my life and how I would do anything for them. Celestia absorbed all of this in and started to tell me that I could see them one more last time but it would require great courage from me in order to do so.

"Why?" I hesitantly asked, not actually wanting to know the answer.

"Because you could become lost forever traversing between the realities. Not only could you possibly forget everything including your past name and life, you could literally become lost forever in an alternate dimension, forever wandering aimlessly until the end of time" Celestia said grimly.

I swallowed and thought about the only choice I had in seeing my family again and I decided it was worth the risk.

"Okay, I'll do it. I accept the risk Celestia. Anything to see my family again."

Celestia nodded and gave me a hug, wishing me luck.

"I'll be there for you Vinyl when you get there. It's going to be alright, I know you can do it" she said, smiling at me.

She carefully lowered me back on my bed, softly putting my head on a pillow. She gave me one quick smile before her horn glowed yellow and my eyelids became heavy, her last words telling me that I was entering a state of sleep in order to enter between the realities.
