Act I - Scene Two: II. Strange Déjà Vu

Her mind began to race again, half of subconsious going into the scene. It felt so great,going back into that 'pleasant' nightmare. Sparkle couldn't wait to get back into those memories and find out what was the truth!But a part of her mind slowly remembering everything of how it started...

~*~

Twilight tossed and turned back and forth in her bed, the covers slowlt sliding off, hooves kicking in the air. The imagines slowly unfolded through her mind, more voices heard. This time.. a scream..and a full imagine of the so called 'scene'..

~*~

The yellow pegasus holded the body of the blue of her kind. She whimpered,holding her tightly,her screams sent a chill down Twilight's soul. She looked up,sniffing, her green eyes darting at the mysterious figure. Twilight couldn't make it out,it was a huge figure, with what looked like wings behind it.It wasn't a pegasus from it's side...it was something else.

The figure glowered it's yellow eyes,looking down at her."Open your eyes Fff..."

~*~

She couldn't make out the names as the image slowly faded out of her mind. Twilight gasped and got up from her bed,panting at the maelstrom images rushed at her. The unicorn sniffed and curled up in her bed,why was this happening to her? She sniffed, everytime she closed her eyes, it was a rush of a horrible sequence of blazing screams, strange imagry, and ponies she's never seen.

She sighed,wiping her tears,looking down. But yet...she felt like these could be something else..another life? They felt like unfinished,fading chapters. Twilight sighed, shaking her head,speaking her mind.

"Impossible...that..just isn't right...but..could be?"she asked.

~*~

Her mind was in a frenzy of excitement, the scene was closer now,coming into the view of her mind. The imagine of Ponyville of 1928 became focused. The town looked like it did in the past, but with less buildings and more simple. The sunshine beaming on her slender body,Twilight smiled. She had arrived to the memory.

Twilight glaced around the world around her,her mind going through a maelstrom as she looked at the world around her.Her eyes then became fixated on a house...It was the same house from her dreams.

It was a simple house, a house with a Victorian touch, a bay window,it's tree branches spreading wide. It's two floor windows looking down, as if staring at Twilight. It was familiar to her, so it wasn't such a new thing.

The young unicorn trotted up the pathway, leading to the house, but yet she couldn't help to feel a haunting chill in the air.

She opened the door with her horn, the door glowing slightly before opening. As she entered and closed the door, it all felt so familiar.She felt like she have been there before.Not only in her dreams, but before...

She looked up the house stairs leading upstairs,to a room. She wasn't interested in the bottom floor, having bring drawn up to that room,it was one of the moments of her dreams that repeated in an endless lope. Twilight Sparkle walked up the steps of the stairs, seeing the door that lead to that room.

The young pony entered the room, and the only thing there was a single, circular mirror. Twilight approached it, as she got closer, another pony's face appeared, getting clearer as she approached it.

It was a yellow pegasus, her green eyes staring back at Twilight, her pink mane covering her left eye slightly, her ears down, in a sign of sadness.It was the same peagsus from Twilight's dreams.

Twilight stared, looking at the pony. "Who are you?Why are you plaguing my dreams?Why do I see you, another peagsus, and another creature?!",she said, her anger raising, she had been constantly tormented by these dreams, she needed answers.

"WHY AM I HERE?!"

The pegasus whimpered and backed away, looking down,her green eyes at the verge of tears. Twilight calmed herself as she saw this, she could see in her eyes, a story never told...She could see from there..something was tearing at her poor soul.

"I'm sorry....I didn't mean to upset you...Fluttershy...right?",said Twilight quietly, remembering the name that popped in her head during her trance.

The pegasus looked at her slightly,nodding, sniffing along the way. "It's fine...T-tonight..I've been searching for that feeling deep inside of me...that feeling nobody knows...to try to breaking free..".

Twilight's eyes kept staring her."What is this feeling..who are you..please tell me.."

Fluttershy looked at her."Y-yes..I'm Fluttershy...",she said,her quiet voice echoed."I...c-can't help myself..I feel like  I'm g-going out of my head Twilight...M-my heart is being teared into two...".

The unicorn's eyes widen."W-wait!How do you know my name!?",she said, with a studder in her voice.

Fluttershy ignored this,looking down."I'm not the one the sleeper thought she knew..".

Twilight spoke again."Wait!"

Before she could get an answer, everything faded around her. The mirror shattered, Flutteshy was gone.

~*~

Twilight opened her eyes to the real world once again and got up,panting. Princess Luna stared at her, her eyes staring at the poor Unicorn.

"Twilight!Is Thou okay?!"she asked.

Twilight panted, she was back to her feet, 'Metropolis' surrounding her now.As she relaxed, she looked at Luna, breathing heavily.

"It worked Princess...it worked",she said.

Luna looked at her slowly,sitting down with her."What did thy see?",she asked.

Twilight rubbed her eyes, having those images still imprinted in her mind."I saw everything..I saw a 1928 version of Ponyville...and there was a house...there was a young peagsus...",she stopped, sniffing a little.A feeling of sadness filled her body,clutching her heart tightly..

Luna hugged the unicorn slowly,comforting her."Yes..?".Twilight sniffed again,speaking of those memories. "I-it was a yellow pegasus...she had something hidden Princess...she said..."I'm not the one the sleeper thought she knew..".

She was in despair. They weren't surpressed memories...they were memories of another life. Why was this other life haunting her every day?It seemed so much for her. She'd break through the other side, if she could, to find out more of this 'Fluttershy'.

Luna holding the poor Sparkle tightly, rocking her. "It's going to be fine Twilight..we shall continue using the spell till we find the answer to these dreams..",she said.

Twilight didn't know for sure about using the spell again, mainly because something else was occupying her mind. Everything in that regression, everything was awfully familar. The feeling of similarities engulfed her body, making it hard to shake.

~*~

Is it possible?Could I have lived in that other world in the 1920's?

I feel like I have to make a link that destiny wants me to make...

Oh my Celestia...I'm still searching,but for what...

The missing key is what I need to unlock my mind's door...

Celestia...Luna...help me...

~*~

Twilight trotted inside the Library,Spike already cleaning. The purple dragon looked at his friend and smiled,"Twilight,you're back!We're you go?"he asked.Twilight looked at him, smiling weakly. "Hey,and yeah,Sorry I didn't tell you.It was kinda a personal thing I needed to speak to Luna about in Canterlot.",she told.

Spike nodded and understood she didn't want to say what she told Luna. Twilight didn't want to tell Spike what's been happening to her, she felt it could worry him and make him drift from his duties. She yawned and walked up the stairs,telling him, "I'm gonna  go nap Spike..". Spike gave a concern look,"Okay Twi..",he said.

Twilight layed on her bed, curling up. Today she was searching for the answers for her dreams, only to find more questions and now, A feeling that won't go away. As she closed her eyes, her mind drifted..

~*~

I just can't help myself

I'm feeling like I'm going out of my head

Tears my soul into two

I'm not the one I thought I always knew..

~*~

It was all uncanny, a strange deja vu..but Twilight Sparkle didn't mind...she was hoping to find the truth.
