The new crusaders

Prince Dusk Shine was sitting in his library reading his book when Bubble Berry bounced inside followed by AppleJack, Elusive, Rainbow Blitz and Butterscotch. "Morning guys what brings you here so early?" Asked Dusk placing his book on the table"Erm...well..." Replied Blitz "ya see I was flying around town and well..." " He hit your sister" whispered Butterscotch "WHERE      IS SHE!!!!" Shouted Dusk knocking Blitz to the floor "ponyville hospital" gasped Blitz as his face turned purple. Dusk ran off to the hospital to find Glimmer Shield in a hospital bed with Prince Bolero beside her "Dusky!" Shouted Glimmer from the bed as Dusk passed the room "Sis are you hurt did Blitz hit you hard?" He asked "It was just a tap and I'm not here because I'm hurt Dusky the foal is coming!" Exclaimed Glimmer Shield as the doctor came in  and started to wheel away the mare.

The two princes waited in the hospital room for Glimmer Shield and after an hour she emerged carrying two foals a colt that looked just like his mother and a filly that was identical to her father. "Twins!" Exclaimed the two stallions as they where each given a child to hold.  "That lively little colt is Shining Armour and that little cutie is Cadence " Smiled Glimmer as they all walked out of the hospital the boy was an ordinary unicorn but the girl was an alicorn. The first one to ever be born from a non alicorn.

The three went to the library where Dusks family would be staying for two weeks to find a small party that Bubble had set up. A large banner read *congratulations* in big colourful letters "Wow a baby alicorn!" Exclaimed Elusive as he spotted the baby princess. After many hours of partying everybody decided to go to bed.

7 YEARS LATER

Dusk Shine was tidying  his home. His niece and nephew where coming to stay for a few weeks to try and find their cutie marks.*KNOCK KNOCK* Dusk opened the door to find two seven year old ponies withe massive smiles on their faces "Uncle Dusk!" Exclaimed the pair as they hugged him he pulled them inside and saw that Prince Bolero had already flown away leaving the twins in Dusks care. Shining Armour heard a knock at the door and decided to answer it. He saw 2 colts and a filly standing at the door. "Hi there! I'm Apple Slice he's Rainbow Bolt and she's Cherry Pie and we were wondering if you wated to join the Cutie Mark Crusaiders?" Asked the smaller colt. He was and orange earth pony with green eyes and red hair, he spoke with a country accent. Rainbow Bolt was slightly taller than Apple Slice. He was a  blue coated Pegasus with short messy rainbow hair. Cherry pie was a small filly with puffy pink hair and a cherry coloured coat.

After 20 minutes Shining Armour and Cadence were CMC's on the quest to find their cutie marks (and get some lunch).
