Sofia’s Alphabet Quest

Quest for Letters:Part 6

Previous Chapter

Later, in Ponyville, Sofia was admiring the peace of the village while wondering what she should do. Suddenly, she hears an explosion, and got covered by confetti.

“Where did this come from?” Sofia wondered with concern.

Just then, a bright pink pony came from behind a house rolling a cannon with her. “Welcome to Ponyville, Sofia!”

“Pinkie Pie!” Sofia chuckled. “I should’ve known it was you and your confetti cannon.”

Pinkie hops to Sofia as the young princess brushes off the confetti.

“Did I surprise you?” Pinkie asked.

“Surprise?” Sofia yelped. “SHOCK is more like it. What’s with the shower of confetti?”

“I thought I make your arrival festive as you search for the final four.”

“Final four?” Sofia wondered.

Pinkie giggled silently. “The final four letters of the alphabet. You know, W, X, Y, and Z. They’re scattered here in Ponyville.”

After giving Pinkie a hug, Sofia started on her way. She passed a festive looking wagon when she heard a female voice yelling in there.

That sounds like Trixie Lulamoon. Sofia thought. And, it sounds like she’s in trouble. Better see what the Great and Powerful Trixie is struggling with.

Sofia looks in the wagon as Trixie shakes her head with worry. She soon looks at the princess of Enchantia.

“Princess Sofia.” Trixie said with relief. “I’m very honored that you’re here.”

“I heard you scream, Trixie.” Sofia replied. “Are you okay?”

“Now, I am. Some pointed purple creature tried to mess up my wagon. But, I manage to trap it.”

Sofia saw the creature in a cage. Trixie saw Sofia ready to open the cage.

“Be careful.” Trixie warned. “That beast might jump at you.”

Sofia opened the cage, and quickly grabbed the creature. The creature transformed into a letter of the alphabet.

“That thing was a letter W?” Trixie asked.

“Yes, it is.” Sofia answered. She places the W in the bag, and left the wagon.

Sofia was soon met by a small white unicorn with a pink and purple main and tail. Sofia recognizes the little unicorn. “Hello, Sweetie Belle.”

“Hi, Sofia.” Sweetie Belle replied. “I’m so glad to run into you. We of the Cutie Mark Crusaders need your help!”

Sweetie Belle lead Sofia to the CMC’s clubhouse, which is near Sweet Apple Acres. They both enter the clubhouse where Sweetie Belle’s friends, Apple Bloom and Scootaloo, were waiting.

“You’re back, Sweetie Belle.” Apple Bloom said with relief.

Scootaloo saw Sweetie Belle’s companion. “Hey! You brought Princess Sofia with you.”

“Sweetie Belle said you have a bit of trouble.” Sofia informed. She then saw a brown cross shaped critter. “And, I see the problem!”

Sofia rushes over, and grabbed the creature. The Crusaders saw what that beast was.

“That was a letter X?” Sweetie Belle yelped.

“X marks the spot, all right.” Scootaloo added.

Sofia puts the X in her bag, waved goodbye to the Cutie Mark Crusaders, and went on. Suddenly, the elegant Spoiled Rich came to meet her.

“Princess Sofia.” Spoiled Rich said. “I’m happy to see you.”

“You are?” Sofia said with concern. “You look worried. What’s wrong?”

“Noble princess of Enchantia, follow me.”

Sofia followed Spoiled Rich to her home. They see Diamond Tiara on a blanket, but she’s very upset.

“Mother,” Diamond Tiara demanded, “when will I have my lunch in peace?”

“Relax, my dear.” Spoiled Rich replied. “I brought Princess Sofia to help you with your problem.”

Sofia walks up to the young pony. “What’s the matter, Diamond Tiara?”

“I was just having lunch outside because it’s a lovely day,” Diamond explained, “But this yellow rabbit like creature keeps coming along to disturb me.”

Suddenly, the creature Diamond Tiara talked about shows up to make a disturbance. Sofia readies herself. “I’ll handle this!”

The creature leaps up. But, Sofia grabs it quickly. It instantly transforms.

“Oh my goodness!” Diamond Tiara said as she sees what Sofia grabbed. “A letter Y.”

Sofia puts the Y in the bag, and turns to the mother daughter team. “Now, you can eat peacefully.”

“Thank you, Princess Sofia.” Spoiled Rich said.

As Sofia walks off, another human girl approaches her. The girl has a golden dress and has blonde hair. Sofia recognizes the girl. “Amber! What brings you to Equestria?”

The girl that appeared to be Sofia’s sister, Princess Amber, gave Sofia an unusual answer. “I’ve always lived here.”

Sofia was surprised to hear that. The girl then transformed into a light blue changeling. She recognizes the mischievous critter. “Ocellus! You got me good.”

Sofia giggled as she and Ocellus hugged each other. Ocellus then gave Sofia an explanation about her appearance. “I thought that might get your attention. We of the Young Six need your help.”

Sofia and Ocellus went to the School of Friendship where Sandbar, Yona, Smolder, Gallus, and Silverstream were waiting.

“We’re glad you’re here, Sofia.” Sandbar said. “We heard you’ve been rounding up alphabet letters.”

“Yes, I have.” Sofia replied.

“Then,” Smolder cheered, “I think we have what you’re looking for.”

“Coral colored thing bother us.” Yona explained. “We caught it. It not escape!”

Sofia walked over and saw the coral colored zigzag creature Yona was talking about. She picks it up, and it magically transformed into an alphabet letter.

“Wow!” Silverstream said excitingly. “That’s a letter Z.”

Gallus looks at it with interest. “The last letter of the alphabet.”

Sofia proudly holds up the Z. “My quest is over.”

Starlight soon comes out of the school with the letter board. “Good work, Sofia. You got them all.”

Sofia opens her bag. Then, using her magic, Starlight brings the letters W, X, Y, and Z to the letter board. The class looked happily as Twilight teleported to greet Sofia.

“Congratulations, Sofia.” Twilight announced. “You found all twenty six letters of the alphabet. Now, new students can learn their ABCs.”

“Thank you, Twilight.” Sofia responded as she gives a polite curtsy.

“How about we head to Canterlot? Then, I can take you back to Enchantia.”

Sofia nodded as she and Twilight walked away as the Young Six watch with amazement.

“Princess Sofia is one noble girl. Isn’t she?” Smolder said.

“She sure is.” Sandbar replied. “I hope we see her again someday.”

Author's Note

When I did my Equestria Girls/Disney Princess crossover, someone said that I didn’t include Sofia. So, I made her the star of her own MLP crossover story. This is a tribute to the old computer game, “Donald’s Alphabet Chase.”
