Shards

"Welcome welcome to the place where all your dreams and fantasies become true. Where past, present and future dance together. Where every questions gets an answer, where every lie gets exposed, wher-"

"Pinkie cut the act."

"Oh Twilight, don´t make me break character! I need to be mysterious and omnivorous..."

"You mean ominous."

"No thanks I´m not hungry!"

"...Pinkie could you please get to the point?"

"Very well young mare. You have come to the lair of Madame Pinkie because your heart is troubled!"

"How did you...yes, I have a little problem. A big one actually."

"And that problem concerns another unicorn."

"Again how did...yes, its a friend of mine."

"The over- dramatic-making-a-huge-deal-about-everything tailor in town to be precise."

"Okay now I have to know, how did you know I was talking about Rarity?"

"Madame Pinkie knows it all!! Also I saw you two kissing behind the library."

"PINKIE!"

"Hey not my fault! Find a better place for your sloppy-make-out-time!"

"Ugh. Pinkie I just come here for advice, do you think Rarity and I...I mean we have been friends for some long and I never once...well maybe one or two times...but making such a huge leap...I just...you think we can have a future together?"

"I can do better than that, I can SHOW you the future!"

"No Pinkie you can´t."

"Yes I can."

"No you can´t. Not even the most powerful unicorns are able to see into the future."

"Ha useless unicorn magic! I don´t need that I have this magic crystal ball! I found it in the deeps of the Everfree...."

"...it has a price tag."

"Okay Trixie sold me this but it still works, look!"

Swirls and turns as the mists on the crystal ball clears, showing times to come.

"Its that...Canterlot?"

"Shhh something its about to happen..."

Twilight saw a beautiful decorated place, a house filled with grace and style. A tall much more mature Spike entered the scene and Twilight can´t help but giggle. Her laugh died when she saw herself, now a full adult mare, walking in wearing a beautiful dress.

"Woah Twilight! You look amazing!"

"Thanks Spike. I was afraid the ribbons were too much..."

"Wait I know that dress! Isn´t the one Rarity made you for your first anniversary?"

"Yes that´s why I´m wearing it tonight. I thought it will be a nice touch for our tenth anniversary together."

"Boy I´m so happy for you two. You make such a great couple."

"Daww you´re such a dear Spike! Thanks for always looking after us even when you made quite a scene when we first revealed our relationship!"

"Hey I was a baby with a crush back then! Give me a break!"

They laugh but the joy its broken by a sudden burst of green flame and a scroll materializing on air.

"Strange. I told the Princess I will be busy tonight."

"Its´not from the Princes..."

"What? She cancelled again?! What ridiculous excuse does she have this year?!"

"Umh something about Photo Finish needing help an-"

"Third year! Third year in a row! Why does she keeps doing this? ARGH!"

"Twilight, calm down!"

The vision becomes blurry, covered by anger and resentment.

"Woah you have quite a temper Twilight."

"Well it seems Rarity has been ignoring me or will be, ugh confusing tenses. But its not her fault, I´m sure in the future she will become famous and thus have plenty of work. i´ll just have to learn to deal with it..."

Twist and turns as the vision changes once more.

"What is happening Pinkie?"

"You changed the future Twilight."

"Me? I didn´t do anything!"

"Yes, you took a decision, and every decision brings a change in the future. That´s why its so complicated to look into it, because the future change with every step you take."

The vision becomes dark and gloomy. Slowly a field of stars allows to see inside the shadowy library.

"Twilight darling, are you still studying?"

"A-ha."

"But the night its simply beautiful tonight."

"That's redundant."

"Oh but anyways won´t you like to go out and watch the stars? I´ll could make us a late night meal and we´ll sit in the balcony you know like we used to do before, when you taught all the names of those little constellations?"

"Busy."

"Oh well if you are busy, I´ll be working on my latest dress then. I´ll wait for you in the bedroom."

"Fine."

The light on the candle vanish leaving the crystal in darkness again.

"NO! You mean trying not to worry about her work I´ll become so absorbed by mine I´ll ignore completely? That makes no sense!"

Violent twists and turns as the crystal trembles.

"Twilight calm down!"

"No this has to be a mistake! Show me the future! The real future when we are together!"

She grabs the ball and shakes it, desperately trying to turn into a snow globe of her fantasies. But each stir only reveals more suffering. On every future, on every possibility something bad happens; a fight, a misunderstanding, a tragedy. And every time she tries to fix it, every new decision she makes only makes the ball fill with dark fumes.

"ARGH!"

She smashes the crystal ball, each little shard still reflecting a terrible outcome.

"Twilight..."

"Its no use. No matter what I do...we are not meant for each other. We were never meant to be together."

She leaves, abandoning the shadows of the tent and moving into the sunny town. Pinkie starts gathering the pieces of glass, searching for that one reflection of a unicorn couple in love.
