Chapter 1

“Hello Equestria this is Nancy Newshoof and I am here in Canterlot outside of the Royal Sister’s Castle for a very special story. Today we are going to go behind the scenes of the rumor that has been spreading around all over Equestria. Are there really more princesses besides Celestia, Luna, Cadence, and the newest princess of them all, Princess Twilight. If these princesses are real then what else could the Equestrian government be hiding from us” Nancy Newshoof began to walk towards the castle, “Right now we are about to head towards the entrance of the castle hoping to get maybe a hint of these “secret” princess or princesses.”

Nancy Newshoof walks towards one of the unicorn guards, guarding the entrance.

“Hello sir, I am Nancy Newshoof. I am wondering if you could tell me any information about the secret princess or princesses rumors.”

“I’m sorry ma’am that is classified information.”

“Well can you at least tell me is there more than four princesses.”

“I’m sorry ma’am that’s still classified information.”

“Well can we at least get a tour of the castle, I didn’t just come all the way from Fillydelphia to just see the entrance of this here castle”

The unicorn guard looked at the other guard for approval. The second guard nodded his head.

“My captain says it’s alright, now if you will follow me at all times and please be quiet. Celestia is having a very important meeting with very important guests.”

The guard began to walk into the entrance of the castle. Nancy quietly followed him, motioning for her camera colt to quickly to follow.

“This here is the castle’s garden” said the castle guard.  Nancy looked around and saw many beautiful varieties of flowers.

“We have many different animals and flowers in this part. Now we are about to enter the castle.”

The unicorn guard walks up to the white armored Pegasi guarding the entrance door and nods. The two Pegasus guards opened the door and glared at Nancy as she walked in.

“On your right you can see the doorway to the armory. On the left is the staircase to the 8 floors we have here in this castle. In front of us the way to the kitchen so if you follow me there I can show you how the food is made for the princess.”

Nancy fakes an interested smile and nodded her head. The unicorn guard began to walk forward not looking behind him. Nancy quickly grabbed her camera colt by the fore hoof and began to gallop up the stairs to the second floor.

“Nancy, I really don’t think we should be doing this we could get in loads of trouble”

Out of breath she began to open doors of the second floor of the castle, ignoring her co-workers worries.

“What are you looking for Nancy?” asked the camera colt.

“What does it look like, I’m trying to find the room of the secret princesses”

“What’s the point of this? You know those are just silly rumors.”

“No their not, if I actually find the secret princesses. I would be famous and I’ll be employed into a bigger news station.”

The Camera Colt rolled his eyes.

“Now slowly follow me.”

Nancy began slowly walk down the hall. The camera colt followed. Suddenly Nancy paused at a corner, which made the camera colt crash into her. She peeked around the corner and saw the most amazing thing.

“Shhh, look” said Nancy as she pointed to a pony.

  This pony was taller than a normal pony should have been. Her eyes were closed as she hummed a happy tune. A long horn glowed in the middle of her forehead. Her dark blue, spiky hair swayed as she danced to the beat of the music. There was a pair of green headphones hanging around her light blue neck. Assuming it was a mare from the long lashes and the mascara she had on , Nancy motioned for her camera colt to roll the tape and film all of this.

“Ma’am we don’t know if she’s an alicorn or not where are her wings. She could just be a very tall unicorn”

“Just wait” suddenly Nancy stepped out of the shadows, “Hello there, I’m Nancy Newshoof from Station 16 news, I am here to-“

Suddenly the blue pony eyes widen and began to gallop past Nancy.

“Wait don’t worry I’m just here to interview you” said Nancy as she grabbed her camera colts arm again and ran after the pony, “Hurry Camera Flash”.

“I’m running as fast as I can”

Nancy finally caught up to the pony. “Wait-puff-I’m here to-“.

The pony spread out her long blue wings and quickly flew down the hallway.

“I knew it. She was an alicorn” said Nancy shocked, “Hurry Camera, check every door”

The two ponies set to work opening every door only to see that it was a bathroom or a supply closet. Until they finally reached the last door at the end of the hallway.

"Wait, what if it's just another supply closet" asked Camera

"Of course it's not, where else could that alicorn could have gone, this is the last doorway we've checked and it's right in a dead end. There's probably no secret traps so just open the door and do your job"

"But Nancy she's an alicorn don't you think she could just teleport"

"It can't hurt to try"

Camera turned the knob and pushed the door. Nancy quickly shoved him out of the way and stepped in to the room. There in the room were 6 thrones, above each thrones was a flag with a symbol. Sitting in each chair was an diffrent colored alicorn. Each alicorn had different colored metal boots and a crown.

Nancy caught her breath and stepped into the room. The alicorns’ eyes widen in panic as she stepped in. They all looked at each other not knowing what to do.

“Hello I’m Nancy Newshoof and I would like an interview”

Chapter 2

“ What! How did you find me” said the blue Alicorn.

“We just checked every door, it wasn't that hard. Now like I said before I would like to interview you and maybe your friends here too” said Nancy.

“No, you can’t, in fact you shouldn't even know about us and you shouldn't even be here. Please just leave and pretend you never saw us or I’ll-I’ll send my Great Aunt Tia to kick your flank” stuttered the blue Alicorn

“Please just one interview. If they found out that there really is secret princesses then I-”

“Wait hold a sec” said a light yellow Alicorn stepping down from her throne. Her well combed, long pink and orange mane swayed as she climbed down the red carpeted steps, “Did you just say secret princesses. What are you talking about? All of Canterlot knows us, they know our names and everything. Right? We’re princesses after all. Great Aunt Tia said we were just as famous as any other princesses”

Nancy gulped, not knowing what these powerful ponies could do if she told them the truth.

“Well I don’t know what Princess Celestia is telling you girls but not one person in Canterlot or our small town Fillydelphia knows your guy’s names, in fact all of Equestria doesn't even know if you exist or not” said Camera Flash rolling his eyes just thinking that these gullible girls think that they’re so famous.

“Camera Flash why did y-”

Suddenly the six Alicorns began to scream. Startled Nancy and Camera began to step back slowly.

“No one -sniff- knows about us at all” wailed a skinny black Alicorn.

The six Alicorns kept bawling and hugging one another. Suddenly there was a knock on the door.

“Hello Princesses, is everything alright in there”

“It was the guard who gave us the tour” thought Nancy. She knew Camera Flash was thinking the same and she quickly motioned for him to hide.

Camera Flash and Nancy dove behind the group of Alicorns hoping to not be hauled away when they finally found what they've been searching for.

“Hello Princesses, are you there.”

A lavender Alicorn with a messy pink and purple bun in her hair stepped forward.

“Actually Frederick we’re no-”

“We’re fine” said the Blue Alicorn, quickly covering her friends mouth with her hoof.

“Alright, I’m sorry to bother you I just heard you girls crying and there’s a trespasser on the loose in this castle. Well tell me if you need any help. You girls know where to find me”

“Yes of course”

Nancy heard the clank of metal on marble floor slowly fade away as the unicorn guard walked off.

“WHAT WAS THAT FOR” screamed the lavender Alicorn

“Calm down Magenta, I have a plan”

“Ooo do tell” said a white Alicorn walking towards the blue Alicorn.

“We get this Nancy chick to interview us to show Canterlot, no wait Equestria that we do exist. We’ll be famous and maybe even more important about that stupid Twilight Sparkle”.

“Yeah that sounds like a great plan” said the black Alicorn excitedly.

“I don’t know girls. What if we get in trouble with Great Aunt Tia and you know what happened last time” said the yellow one.

“You know what,who cares what Great Aunt Tia thinks, lets do it. Everyone in” said the Blue Alicorn.

Five hooves went into the center of the group.

“Come on Petunia”

The yellow Alicorn hesitated and slowly put her hoof in the middle of the group.

“Great since we all agree when can we start this newscast”

Nancy helped the six mares to clip on their microphones.

“This is so exciting” said the black Alicorn.

“Alright, is everything set Camera Flash”

“Yes ma’am”

“Then lets start rolling”

Camera flash nodded and began to turn on the camera.

“Hello Equestria, I am Nancy Newshoof and I have some exciting news for you. Those rumors about the hidden princesses are true. I am sitting here right now with SIX. Yes that’s right, six secret princesses”

The camera colt began to zoom into the circle of the six Alicorns.

“Now why don’t you six introduce yourselves”

“Hello, I’m Melody” said the Blue Alicorn, “Princess of Music”

“Hi there, I’m Petunia, Princess of Flowers” said the yellow Alicorn.

“‘Sup, my name is Jinxy, Princess of Trickery” said the black Alicorn, making a silly face into the camera.

“I’m Grace, Princess of Dance” said the white Alicorn giving a little twirl in the middle of the circle

“I’m-uh- Pastel and..I’m sorry I get camera shy a lot” said the orange and white Alicorn.

“It’s alright, keep going” said Nancy

“I’m Pastel and I’m the Princess of Art”

“And I Princess Magenta, am the Princess of beauty”, the Alicorn stepped in front of the camera, striking poses and flipping her hair.

“So how did you six meet each other. Are you guys friends”

“Well we’re cousins, I guess we’re friends since we spend more than half of our day in the throne room together” said Grace

“Why did you guys decide to take this interview”

“Well after hearing that we aren't even know at all, we wanted to show Equestria that we exist and we’re just as important as any other princess”

“Alright, well all of Equestria wants to know why are you six Alicorns kept a secret”

“We all have different reasons” said Petunia.

“CUT”

“Did we do anything wrong” asked Melody

“No but we can’t all just go around this circle telling about ourselves and our problems. I have to find a way to cut it down while still making it interesting”

“Maybe we could do like a documentary or something” said Grace.

“Or like a talk show” said Magenta

“How about Nancy just interviews each of you separately” said Camera Flash like it was the most obvious answer.

The six girls thought and soon agreed.

“Great” said Nancy, “I’m going to ask you some simple personal questions”

“Seems easy enough” said Petunia

“And then some dark questions that will make you cough up some of your darkest secrets and maybe make you burst into tears. Does that sound good” said Nancy with a smile on her face.

The six Alicorns looked at each other worried.

"I don't know about this" said Pastel

"Come on you guys we have to do it, we need to be known we aren't nobodies" said Grace

"So everyone keen on the idea" smiled Nancy

The Alicorns slowly nodded.

“Great we will start with you tomorrow Melody, we’ll let your friends sit behind the camera”

Melody gulped
