My little pony the creation of new Equestria:

Chapter 1

In Ponyville a gentle breeze playfully blew the leafs of the trees. At Ponyville Pond the frogs were croaking their love songs to their mates. All was calm and peaceful. Then everything changed when a flash of light came out of nowhere and all of Ponyville and Everfree Forest was gone. Followed ten minutes later by flashes all over Equestria and the Crystal Empire. With each flash a town or city disappeared. After they were gone Equestria shook and distort and grow by a massive magic power. After the magic fade there were flashes again all over Equestria. And all the towns and cities of Equestria were back and the Crystal Empire was now down in the main part of Equestria.

Discord and an unknown Alicorn stallion with a dark coat finished a series of spells. As the stallion cleaned up after the spell Discord bounced around in enjoyment.

“Shooting Star, tomorrow morning there will be so much splendid chaos all around Equestria.” Discord gleefully exclaimed.

Shooting Star finished erasing the magic circle’s lines “we both know that is only a byproduct of saving Equestria this time.”

Discord frown “Shooting Star, you are no fun anymore. Would you let me enjoy this at least?”

“By the way I thought you were turned to stone.” Shooting Star smirked. “I know what happen; Celestia let you go so you could become her lap dog.”

“I am the king of disorder, the master of chaos. I am no pony’s lap dog.” Discord walked over indignantly, and then he snapped his fingers and a big soft pillow appeared. “Sit down and I will tell you what happen.”

Shooting Star lay down on the pillow with a big smile. After Shooting Star got Comfortable Discord continues. “It all started three years ago when I got free.” Discord look down to see Shooting Star asleep. “That is so like you. I guess I will tell you later. By the way it is great to have you back Shooting Star.” Discord put a blanket over shooting Star, and walked away.

All was quiet in the Royal Quarters of Cadence and shining Armor, Cadence mumbled happily in her sleep. Then she sat up and shouted. “Not Twilight.”

Shining Armor woke up “what is wrong Cadence?”

Cadence looked panicked to Shining Armor “Twilight, no all of Equestria is in danger. We have to go to Canterlot”.

Shining Armor nodded because he has never seen Cadence like this. And while in Canterlot he could go to donut Joe's. Like all stallions when he wakes up he is hungry. “We better get to the train station.”

Cadence got out of bed and was looking in the mirror “First, it would be useless the train tracks need to be relayed. And second we don’t have time. We have to teleport using a spell Celestia taught me in my dream.”

“So Celestia came in to your dream and talk to you?” Shining armor looked confuse.

“Oh yes, with Luna and Shooting Star too. They told me to come to Canterlot, and they started to tell me why. But I woke up when they said something about Twilight and Danger.” Cadence confessed.

“I understand Celestia and Luna being in your dream but Shooting Star was killed by Nightmare Moon. That is part of his legend, he was the only one Nightmare Moon killed. You are telling me that it’s not true?”

Cadence smiled “If I am wrong I will do everything you say for one day, but if I am right you have to do whatever I say for a day. Is that a deal?”

Shining armor smiled and thought of all the things he would have her do. It was too tempting. “Yes it is a deal.” Shining Armor knew he was right, and he would like to see Cadence do a little dress up similar to how Celestia does when she was bored. Cadence dressed up in a cheer pony outfit or maybe school filly sailor outfit.

“Well, we should get ready." Cadence said as she snapped Shining Armor out of his dream world. Shining Armor jumped in the shower as Cadence rounded up the maids. After Shining Armor got dressed, he went to Cadence's walk in closet. As he was about to walk in he heard “I like how this crown brings out my eyes but don’t like how it makes my horn look. And these shoes are comfortable but don’t you think it makes my flank look too big.” Shining Armor turned and walked away. He knew it will take a while for Cadence to get ready.

Then The Captain of the Royal Guard walked up, saluted “Prince Shining Armor, I am here to report we are no longer in the frozen north.”

“Darn, I will have to do what she said for one day.” Shining Armor muttered.

The Captain of the Royal Guard looks confused “excuse me sir, what is to be done?”

“Increase the guards. Tell them that it is only a precaution. We have no reason to worry, yet.” The guard stood there and waited for more orders. “You are dismissed” Shining Armor walked to the near by desk.

Shining Armor sat down wrote up a Letter to the Ponies of the Crystal Empire to be posted around the empire. “What to write. Hmmm”. “To all ponies of the Crystal Empire. Shining Armor and Princess Mi Amore Cadenza have gone to discuss matters with Princess Celestia of Canterlot. There is no danger that we know of. If any chance of danger is seen we will return immediately.” Shining Armor then hand it to the Royal Scribe. “Could you make it sound more official?”

The Scribe looked it over with a smiled. “I will try sir.”

Shining Armor had just finished drawing out the new guard patrols when Cadence walked up to him “Should we get going?”

Shining Armor nodded and hand the guard patrols to a near by guard. Then Cadence and Shining Armor put their horns together. Magic swirled and danced around them. And as the magic swirled it became brighter. There was the magic flashed and they were teleported into the Throne room of Canterlot Castle.

Celestia and Luna were waiting there for them. “We have to go”. Then Celestia opened a portal and all the Royal ponies, and Twilight’s hoof maids walked through it.

Twilight woke early in a strange room that smelt of lavender. Twilight sat up and looked around the room. it is a spacious room richly decorated, across the room was a large bookcase with the works of the finest writers of old Equestria in it. They look like they are first editions. Twilight made a note to look through them later. She scan the room more and saw; Owlowiscious was on a carved wooden perch. Peewee was sitting in the fireplace chirping happily between two live ambers. Next to the fireplace Spike was in a soft looking basket bed asleep. Nyx was sleeping next to her.

“Spike, Spike wake up. We are not in our Library. Spike this is important.” Twilight said.

Nyx woke up and looked around and smiled. “This is a nice room. I wonder whose place this is.”

Spike looked around and stretching “Yes, you are right we are not in the library. Can I go back to sleep now?”

“No, you cannot, how can you be so calm about this?” Twilight stomped her hove.

“We are in a nice room with soft beds, oh and look a gift basket of gems with a note that said ‘enjoy your stay’”. Spike ate a sapphire. “Why should I worry?”

Twilight gave up, “Ok, go back to bed. I will look around with Nyx!”

“Enjoy yourself.” Spike then lay down and went back to sleep.

They went out the door to see they were in a large hall with beautiful tapestries of all types of ponies dancing together. Twilight look down the hall in both directions. To one direction they saw that the hallway ended in a T. And the other way they saw what looked to be a library. As they got closer they saw a small Pony with Butterfly wings that came out of the library. Twilight walked down the hall hoping to talk with the new pony.

“Excuse me, can you tell me where we are?” Twilight asked the pony.

The small pony is more than happy to answer any question she can. “You’re in the west wing of the castle in front of the Library. By the way my name is Forget-me-not. And can I get your names?”

“Oh sorry, I'm Twilight Sparkle and this is Nyx my daughter." she pointed at Nyx "Could you help us? Last night we went to bed in our library in Ponyville and when we woke we were here.” Twilight clearly trying to piece together an answer for herself.

“Hmm I don’t know if I can help you Princess Twilight Sparkle.” Forget-me–not bowed. “We might be able to find something out in the Library.”

Twilight is still not use to being a princess said “Just call me Twilight… Wait, how do you know I am a princess?”

Forget-me-not laughed “You are an Alicorn. And the only Alicorns I know are princesses and Princes.”

Twilight smiled sheepishly “Ok, you are right I am a Princess and you are right again we might find answers in the library.”

Forget-me-not beamed “I will help you in the library. I know my way around it.”

“That will help me a lot,”

Forget-me-not went into the Library followed by Nyx and Twilight.

Twilight and Nyx walked into the very large Library there were shelves as far as the eye can see; in them were books on every subject you could think of and some you can’t. The two book nerds felt like they had died and went to book heaven. Then Nyx’s and Twilight’s stomach voice their concern about nothing going into them. Then Nyx smelts something nice, she looked to where that smell came from. Nyx saw that on a large reading table there’s a basket of muffins. Nyx ran over to the table then pointed at the muffins. “Mom, there are muffins here.” Twilight looked at them. “Forget-me-not, those muffins over there look great. Do you think it would be alright if we have some?”

Forget-me-not smiled, “Medley put them there saying there will be a pony working in here later. I guess she means you, so have as many as you like.”

Nyx looked up from the muffin in front of her “Who is Medley?”

“She is the head maid here she is very nice.” Forget-me-not then looked over at Twilight “So what type of book do you want first?”

Twilight thought it over for a second “A book about this place will be great.” Then she looked down at the Table “Oh wait, there is a history book next to the muffins. And here is a note.”

If you need anything please don’t be afraid to ask.

Medley

“Well I guess I will read this book. Forget-me-not, could you look for any book you think I should read to understand what is going on here.” Twilight said

“I am already on it.” Forget-me-not chimed as she flew through the shelves.

A young maid walked in “Excuse me princess, I am Nurse’s Corners I will be your daughter’s maid. I brought breakfast for her; it is pancakes and orange juice. I have placed it in the room across the hall.”

“I love pancakes. Thanks you Nurse’s Corners. That would be it. I will call you if I need anything.”

Nurse’s Corners bowed and left.

Twilight looked at Nyx, raised an eyebrow. “That would be it. I will call you if I need anything.”

Nyx smiled, “I better hurry or the food will get cold.” Before twilight could react she was out the door.

Twilight thought “Later I will talk to her about this. But I need to get back to finding out what is going on here.”

To great delight of Twilight Forget-me-not was great company and they got along great as they read and discussed books until the sun rise.

__________________________________________________________________________________

It was about 7:00 am when Twilight and Nyx makes their way out of the castle. The castle sat on a hill that overlooked a city. Twilight saw that the city had better days but it still had a charm. It had a mixture Mainiterranean and ancient Equestrian feel to it. There were ponies out on the streets. Some were selling goods, and other were ponies from Ponyville just wanting answers of what is going on. As Twilight looked around she saw Rainbow Dash flying around.

“Rainbow Dash, come here!”

Rainbow Dash flew down and landed in front of Twilight. “Did you just come out of that castle? That's is cool, did you have Breakfast there? What did you have?”

Twilight answered her excited friend “Yes, we came out of there and yes we had Breakfast.” She Pointed at Nyx. “She ate pancakes for Breakfast, and I had some muffins.”

Twilight held up the Basket with rest of the Muffins in it. “Do you want some?” Before she could blink Rainbow Dash took flight and grabbed them. Then she flew upside down with the basket on her stomach eating one. Out of nowhere a gray and blond flash flew by and all the muffins were gone. Rainbow Dash waved her hove in the air screaming “Derpy, give me back my Muffins!”

Nyx laughed, “Derpy run! I will hold Rainbow Dash!” then Nyx bit rainbow dash’s tail.

Twilight looked at Rainbow Dash “Rainbow Dash, I need to gather all the ponies here at the castle for a meeting.”

Rainbow Dash decided she will get Derpy back later. “Anything to help. But first some pony needs to let go of my tail,” Rainbow Dash looked at the black filly on her tail.

Nyx sheepishly smiled and let go of her tail. “Sorry.”

Then Rainbow Dash went to find ponies all the while yelling “all ponies, meeting at the castle.”

About an half an hour later all the ponies Rainbow dash and the rest of the main 6 could find were gather together and looked worried as they talked to each other. While Twilight and her friends got ponies the castle’s staff set up a stage in the castle courtyard. There were also ponies setting up camera equipment for a broadcast to all Equestria.

Twilight stepped up to the podium and was about to start her speech. When a portal opened and Celestia’ group walked out. Celestia gave Twilight a knowing nod. Twilight walked off the stage to talk to Celestia’s group. As they talk Twilight’s hoof maids brush and primp Twilight to look her best, and Nurse’s Corner did the same to Nyx.

“Celestia, what is going on here?”

“Twilight, I will explain later.” Celestia look over Twilight. “I see you are not hurt anywhere.”

“Why would I be hurt?”

Then the Castle doors opened and an Alicorn Stallion walked over in a Military Dress uniform. He walked up to Celestia with grace. He eyes were soft but determined; his jaw was firm but wore a gentle smile. Everything thing about him said that he is a ruler equal to Celestia.

He walked up to Celestia. “Good day Celestia, I take it that you are doing well?”

“Good Day Shooting Star, Yes quite well thank you. And you are doing well too?”

Shooting Star nodded and turned to Luna. And Luna jumped and hugged him. He smiled, “It has been over 1,000 years and Luna, you look more wonderful than the last time I saw you. How do you do it?”

Luna smiled, started to cry, and hugged him tighter.

Then Cadence said “Luna, it is my turn, this is the first time seeing him in real life after all.”

Luna smiled wiped away her tears “you are right Cadence.” Cadence hugged Shooting Star.

Then Shooting Star looks at Shining Armor “So you must be the one that married my cute niece.”

Shining Armor smiled. “it is a great honor to meet you Shooting Star. I can’t believe I am talking to the Stallion that started the Royal guard.” Shining Armor shakes hooves with Shooting Star.

Twilight looked confuse. “Who is this pony and why does every pony know him”. Twilight wondered to herself.

Celestia frown and said “Would you please tell us what happen here Shooting star.”

Shooting Star smiled “Celestia, let’s wait until the AV ponies are done.” He pointed at unicorns setting up large Crystal cameras around the crowd of ponies; they had already setup the camera and microphone for the crystal projector. “After they are done we could tell all the cities in Equestria what is going on.”

Then an AV pony ran to the camera and gave them the go ahead.

Shooting Star nodded and all the adult Alicorns started to walk on to the stage. Shooting Star stopped and looked at Nyx. “Little one, are you coming with us? You are a Princess of Equestria aren’t you?”

She looked unsure “I don’t think I should be up there.”

Shooting Star walked back to Nyx. Then he got down so he is eye to eye with her. “You should be with us because you are a member of the royal family. And I want you up there.” He gave her a warm charming smile that made her blush.

“Ok” then Nyx ran to her mother and hide her face with Twilight’s leg as Twilight’s hoof maids laughed.

All the Royal Ponies walked onto the stage and sat on chairs. Shooting Star walked to the microphone then he addressed the crowd of ponies. “I will be doing a broadcast to all Equestria in a minute. After I am done I will talk with you so don’t worry.”

He looked at the camera pony and nodded. Then the camera pony started the broadcast. “Good day Equestria and the Crystal Empire, I am Prince Shooting Star, I am the younger Brother of Princess Celestia and uncle of Princess Cadence. I am speaking to you from the city of Everfree. Because of a great evil Equestria has been changed, the evil has been sealed here in Everfree. Us royal alicorns will talk this matter over, and we will report their decision to you later today. We just want you to understand it is under control. Please go and do what you would normally be doing. Worrying won’t help us or you any. And it would only age those wonderful faces of yours.” All of the ponies smile and some laugh. “Thank you for your time.” Then AV turned off the camera.

Then Shooting star said “I am sure the ponies here are wondering what is going on. I have some things to tell you. You were brought here by dark magic. I give you my word you are safe now. We will protect you from all evil that could be still in this place. We will have things for you to do later today… Wait, in the middle of the city there is a large glowing dark boulder. Could some of you clean up around it? Don’t get too near the Boulder it is evil. There is a sealing spell on it, so it should be safe. As long as you don’t touch it” He turned to look at Cadence. “Cadence, Can you supervise the cleaning of that plaza?”

Cadence saluted “Yes, I will do my best.”

Shooting Star smiled “thank you Cadence. Now I will answer any questions you have.”

A mulberry mare raised her hoof and Shooting Star pointed at her. “You said just now that we are in the City of Everfree. But Everfree was in ruins since the time nightmare moon. And the Everfree Forest has grown over it.”

“I see you know your history. I used magic to rebuild it. Well a better way of saying it is that I used three ruined cities to make this one.”

A Stallion raised his hoof and he was pointed at. “What happen to Ponyville?”

“When that evil force transported you here, it mixed and twisted the forest, the town that was here, and your town into one. I sorted it out as much as I can, and so in a way this is also Ponyville and Pony Shores.”

Then Luna raised her hoof. “Dear brother, where is my plaza of the night?”

“Luna, your plaza and other places that I know you and Celestia enjoyed I combined with Canterlot. If you looked out at the courtyard of your castle this morning you would have seen your plaza.”

Luna smile, she can’t wait to have ponies see her plaza of the night again.

Shooting Star thought for a second “I think that is enough questions. Now the rest of the royal ponies will now talk over this matter and get back to you when we come to a plan of action. Could Applejack, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, and Fluttershy come with us? I have something I would like to talk to you about. Thank you for being so understanding.”

The crowd of ponies left and then the named ponies walked into the Castle. After they went into the castle a Pegasus pony in a lightweight Colonel Armor landed in front of them and bowed to Shooting Star. “All that you ordered have been done, any more orders, Prince Shooting Star.”

Seeing the Colonel of the Royal Guard Luna smiled. “Hello Firefly, it’s been awhile.”

Firefly saw Luna she bowed her head and said. “Princess Luna, I am so sorry I couldn’t protect you from yourself. But I am so glad you are all right now.”

Luna hugged Firefly. “it was my entire fault, you have no blame here. You are the best guard we ever had.”

Twilight took a closer look at Shooting star. He is a tall stallion with the build of a guard pony. Then she leaned close to Celestia. “Is he really your Brother?”

Celestia smiled “Yes, He is mine and Luna’s brother. He has been sealed away for over 1,000 years. Now that the Seal on this island dissipated he is back.”

Celestia turned to look at Shooting star “by the way I still haven’t forgiven you for taking Firefly and Medley.”

Shooting Star laughed “Come on, it been over 1000 years. How long does it take for you to forgive your cute younger brother?”

Shooting Star looked over at firefly and said “Firefly, I would like you and your guards to keep a sharp eye on the City and to make sure the ponies are safe. “

“That wouldn’t be a problem, after all I am the greatest guard Equestria ever seen.” With that Firefly flew out of the castle.

Shooting Star shook his head, “That should keep her for a while. She is a great guard but can be a bit of a bragger.”

Twilight looked at Rainbow Dash. “I know what you mean.”

Then Shooting star turned and looked at the other ponies and saw there was one more than he asked for a gray Pegasus with a blond mane. He looked at her. “You’re Derpy hooves if I am not mistaken. Why are you here? “

“This sounds like fun.” Derpy smiled.

Shooting Star sighs and turned to face all the ponies. “I have some missions for you ponies. First Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash I want you to go to the Pegasus kingdom of the Mystical Mountains and give King lightning Hooves a note. Fluttershy I think you should be the one to give the note to the king, Fluttershy you have nothing to worry about with him. Just imagine him as a big teddy bear.”

At that Rainbow Dash nodded and Fluttershy looks worried.

Shooting Star turned to face Rarity. “Rarity, I would like you to give a note to the princess aquamarine of the Merponies.” He teleported a necklace in front of him and levitated it over to Rarity and put it around her neck. “This Necklace will make it so you would be able to breathe underwater.”

“It is a great honor to serve you Prince Shooting Star.” Rarity bowed.

“Pinkie Pie and Derpy, I would like you to give a note to princess Galaxy of the high Unicorn kingdom. I know you would get along just great with each other.” They both smiled.

Shooting Star continued “Applejack, I would like you to go to Princess Rosebud of the fairy pony and give a note to her.”

AJ nodded “I’ll do my best.”

Shooting Star smiled “I have already arranged guides for all of you. FIREFLY, come here!” Firefly landed and bowed in respect. Shooting Star looked at firefly and said “I want you to show them to their guides.”

Then looking at the ponies “There isn’t much time when you get back we will tell you what is going on. Until then you have to just trust us on this. We need the leader of each different type of ponies here.” They all looked unsure but did as he said.

Shining Armor walked forward and said to Shooting Star “I would like to help the guards if it is alright with you. I feel I am much more use as a guard than a prince right now.”

Firefly looked at Shooting Star and he nodded an approving nod. Shooting Star said “Firefly, this is Prince Shining Armor he was the head of the guards in Canterlot before he married Cadence. He should be a lot of help to you.”

Firefly smiled. “Prince Shining Armor and the rest of you this way.” they all walked out of the castle.

Chapter 2: 1000 year ago

Chapter 2

After the four groups of ponies left Nyx look at Celestia and asked. “Why did I hear the voices of the other Alicorns in my head?”

Celestia thought for a second “Have you ever been talking with your friends and finish one of their sentences?” Nyx nodded “For that brief amount of time your minds synchronize. That is how you know what they are going to say. It is on the same train of thought we used magic to synchronize our minds. It is an easy spell any filly Alicorn can cast. If you like I will teach it to you later.” Nyx smiled as she thought of all the ways she could use it in school.

“We used it 1,000 years ago when we ruled Equestria together. When we talk to ponies as rulers we can’t disagree or not know what we are talking about. So we synchronized our minds so we can talk without any pony knowing about it,” Shooting Star explained.

Nyx smiled “That makes sense. Why did you include me in it?”

“We thought it would be fun for you to know this secret of being Alicorn.” Luna answered.

“Thank you, it was.” Nyx did a round of hugs.

Twilight walked over to Shooting star and asked “what did you do to deserve to be sealed away for one thousand years? And why did Celestia do that? Did you try to take over Equestria?”

Celestia, Luna, and Shooting Star busted out laughing. “No it isn’t like that.”

Shooting Star took some deep breath and said, “Ok, I think I will tell you why I was gone for over 1000 years. Well I think the best place to start the story is one morning in the conference room in the castle of the royal pony sisters.”

Luna just finished a long presentation, “So a night festival would help the ponies of Equestria to see the wonders of my night, and bring money to those who are involved.” Then Luna looked around and all the Noble ponies are ignoring her.

Shooting Star said “I think it is a great idea Luna.” -Talking very loudly- “And what about all of you.”

“Why would we want to hear anything Luna has to offer? She is only the ruler of the night,” said Duke Prejudice.

“Yes, she should stay in the shadows where she belongs,” Major Pride said then the other nobles joined in.

All this was too much for Luna’s soft heart. Tears welled up in Luna’s eyes and she ran from the room trying her best to not cry in front of them. Luna flew to a part of Everfree she thought she could be alone and she broke down and cry. Soon after she started to cry she felt a little hove on her shoulder and she looked up and saw a group of child ponies looking at her.

A dark purple colt Pegasus with black and blue mane and tail said. “Please stop crying and play with us. By the way I am Nightwing”.

“You want me to play with you. Do you know who I am?” Luna said.

Nightwing smiled “No, I don’t know who you are. I don’t think you know who I am.” Luna shook her head “So I think we are even. And you look like you need to play a game.”

“Alright I will play with you, if I am not too creepy,” Luna remembering what the nobles said.

“creepy? You are not creepy; I think you are beautiful, like a clear night.” Then Nightwing blushed.

“You think the night is Beautiful?” Luna said in disbelief.

Nightwing smiled “Yes, the night is dark but its Beauty is unquestionable. It’s also calming and wonderful. Looking at all those stars makes you feel small, but in a good way. The coolness of night seems to take away the harshness of the day. The night has a special place in my heart. My father and I use to set and lookup at the stars. Well that was before.”

A tan unicorn filly with a two shades of yellow mane and tail interrupted “let’s not talk about that. Let’s play and laugh. You blue mare what’s your name? I am Sunny moments.”

Luna hasn’t ever had to introduce herself before everyone just knows who she was. Luna stood tall and spread her wing and said “I am Princess Luna ruler of the night.”

“Ok Luna have you ever played hide and go seek” Sunny moments said with a smile.

Luna looked around not knowing how to react. Only her family called her “Luna” and this little filly is called her it. But she doesn’t mind it in fact it feels right. Luna smiled and said “I can’t say I have.”

“The name says it all. All but one pony hides as that one pony closes his or her eyes and count to 20. after they are done counting they look for the other ponies, when that pony finds all of the ponies and touch them and the first one they touch is the next to count. And you are the first to count.” Sunny moments said.

Luna looked around at the young ponies faces and closed her eyes and started to count. She doesn’t know why but she wanted to try this out. Luna spent the rest of the day playing with these child ponies, they even offered a little of their food to her. She saw there wasn’t enough for them even without giving her some.

Luna asked “where are your parents?”

“We have none, but we have each other and that makes up for not having parents.” Sunny moments said with a smile as she hugged the other ponies.

Luna decided she will take care of these ponies. As soon as she got back to the castle she had Medley take food to them.

After some months.

After her meetings Luna skipped down the street carrying a box of food as she sang and turned the corner into a dead-end street. Luna looked at the small house she got for the young ponies to live in. Then a group of young ponies ran out to meet Luna.

She smiled at them. “How are you today? I just got done with my boring meetings. So who wants to play?”

The ponies answered all at once. Nightwing said “I do” quick lock said “me” Sunny moment said “all of us.”

For the rest of the day Luna played, laughed, ate with the ponies and taught them math and to read. After raising the moon Luna told them to go to sleep and that she is the princess of the night and as such she will protect them. Then she read a book to the ponies to put them to sleep. After she’s sure the guards were there she went back to the castle.

As soon as Luna got to the castle Celestia walked up and confronted Luna. “Were you out with those orphans again? If you keep this up none of the Noble Ponies will respect you. I am worried if you can’t keep their respect you won’t be able to rule. There is a lot of talk about you in the Royal court. The talk is that you are not worthy of ruling Equestria.”

Shooting star walked up. “It is nice to see you care more about the noble ponies than your own sister. We can see that by the fact you didn’t stand up for her, I think she is doing the right thing here, let you bask in the limelight After all that is all that matters to you. And she does her work to keep Equestria working. So let her be.”

Celestia look ashamed. “I am trying to do what is right also.” She turned, and walked away.

Then Luna turned to Shooting Star. “You don’t have to be so hard on her, she is trying her best. It hasn’t been easy for any of us to take over ruling Equestria: with the conflict between the different ponies.”

“I know but she doesn’t have to take it out on us.”

Luna laughed. “No she takes it out on you leader of the guards and the armies.”

“Yes she hates that I have power and she can’t do anything about it. So she finds fault with me,” Shooting star smiled.

“You mean you made it so you have power to make her mad,” Luna teased her brother.

Shooting Star looked like he is in deep thought for a second then said “I think only way for me and Celestia will get alone is if we rule different Kingdoms. And if I leave I am taking Firefly and medley.”

Luna laughed “oh that will make Celestia mad. She would be lost without Medley and Firefly is the captain of the Guards.”

“They are both here because of me, because they are my friends.”

As they were talking Firefly flew up and landed next to shooting star. Then she said “I would come with you even if you told me not to. And most likely Medley would have our bags packed and ready.”

Shooting Star smiled “Yes, she seen to know what we need before we do. I still can’t understand how she does that; if she was a Unicorn I would think she would use magic to see the future.”

Medley walked up “I just know you. And Firefly here is your helmet you left it in the kitchen. Luna, it will be cold tonight so here is your Cape. Shooting Star, I think you will find the answer of your problem in this book.”

“We all would be lost without you, Medley.” Firefly laughed.

Medley bowed and walked to the throne room. And Luna put on the Cape.

Luna pointed and said “looks like Celestia forgot something too. Well I should get to watching over Equestria.”

“I guess I have some reading to do. Good night Sister,” Shooting star looked at the book.

“Good night brother,” Luna walked out onto the balcony.

Shooting Star went to his room and Luna went for a flight. Firefly stood there feeling left out. “What am I, chopped liver? Can someone say goodnight to me?” firefly said sadly.

Medley walked up and hugged Firefly “good night.”

Firefly smiled “thanks Medley, now I am happy.” Firefly flew off. Medley walked off.

The next day Luna was skipping down the street carrying a box, and then when she turned the corner she saw guards forcing the children ponies into carts and taking them away. “Stop that right now, by the order of Princess Luna.”

The head guard said “Sorry I can’t do that it is Princess Celestia’s orders. We are to take those children to a safe place.”

“Can I ask where you’re taking them?”

“Celestia ordered us to not tell you. But I will tell you they will be safe. I will give you my word on that.”

She stormed back to the castle and found Celestia in the throne room “Why are you taking away my children?”

“This is for your own good. You’re spending too much time with them. You need to stay in the castle and help me rule”.

Luna was going to say something but saw that Celestia will never understand what those Ponies mean to her. Then she walked away to find her brother Shooting star. She found him in the courtyard playing with Snowdrop. Luna walked up and gave Snowdrop a hug. “Hello Snowdrop how are you.”

Snowdrop looked concerned “Hi Luna, what’s wrong?”

“Nothing, I am just tired. It has been a long day of meetings.”

Snowdrop wasn’t fooled. “If you say so. You know you could always talk to me.”

“I know that, well I need to talk with Shooting Star about something. Will you be alright here alone?”

“I am blind not helpless.”

“I am sorry! I didn’t mean to apply that!” Luna backpedaled.

“I know I’m just messing with you. My mother will be here soon so I will just have firefly play with me until she shows up.”

Luna smiled “Ok, Tell Primrose I said hello” with that Snowdrop hugged Luna one last time and ran off the find Firefly.

“Shooting Star, can you come with me.” Luna took Shooting Star to a pace where no other pony could hear them.

“So what is this all about Luna?”.

Luna took a deep breath “Celestia ordered the Guards to around up my Children and take them to a place I don't know about.”

“She did what! with my Guards! How can she not see how happy you been since you found those ponies? I have to give her a piece of my mind!” Shooting star got ready to storm into the castle and rip Celestia a new one.

Luna grabbed Shooting Star “calm down and listen. I have a plan. Some nights back as I took a longer flight than I usually took and I saw an island.”

While they talked Medley walked up and said “I already have twenty maids cleaning at the castle on that island and Firefly is there with a group of guards. Shooting star, your room have been packed and shipped over there. Did you read the book I gave you the other night?”

Shooting Star looked confused “Yes, but how does the ancient history of other land solve a problem of mine? “

Medley smiled and said “you’ll see.” Then she spread her wing and took flight to the island.

Shooting Star sighed “I hate when she does that, so Luna what’s your plan.”

Luna leaned in and started whispering in Shooting star’s ear.

Some weeks later, Shooting Star was off doing his part of the plan in a magical island and Luna found out that they were keeping her children in an old Keep on the edge of Everfree. She went to see what it was like. When she got there the young ponies look dirty and tired. They lost the spark in their eyes. Then Luna went to talk to the paid Caretaker pony. Luna found her in a room full of gems. She acted rude toward Luna until Luna said ”I guess if you can’t treat me with respect I would just have to cut what you get paid to watch the Ponies.”

Caretaker Pony bowed and said “Sorry Princess it has been hard lately, with the young ponies and all.”

Luna looked confused and asked “How is it hard for you? You get to stay in one of the city’s keep free of rent. And you are watching fillies and colts that can take care of themselves.”

Caretaker Pony answered “I don’t get paid enough to buy food and clothes for those ponies. So they have to earn their keep by doing jobs around town.”

Luna felt anger fill her whole body. Luna known fully how much that caretaker is got paid. And it is enough to buy everything the ponies needed and wanted and hired maids to play with the young ponies and still have enough to live without a care. This confirmed that what she was about to do is the right decision. Someone like her shouldn’t be watching any young pony.

Later that night after Celestia went to sleep. Luna stood on the balcony of Everfree Castle. Thinking about what needed to be done. And hoped she have enough strength to do it. She takes a deep breath and she opens her wings, jumped from the balcony and took flight. She looked at Everfree asleep below her. Even if all the ponies hated her she still loved them as their princess. She saw before her the keep where her children were kept and she landed in the courtyard. Luna walked up the steps and opened the front door. Luna walked to the rooms where her children are. She saw all kinds of locks in the door. She takes a deep breath to calm herself, and then used her magic to unlock the locks on the doors. She walked over to where the children were sleeping. And the sight broke her heart. The ponies are sleeping on the ground with old ripped blankets and Luna could see them shivering.

She softly woke them and sunny moments said “Luna is that really you or am I dreaming?”

Luna started to cry. “I am sorry it took me so long. I am so sorry.”

Night Wing walked over and hugged Luna and said “all that matters is that you are here now.”

Luna pulled herself together and told the ponies “we are leaving, stay quiet. I am taking you to a place you will never be treated like this ever again.”

Luna took the children to the courtyard, and used her magic to make them fly. Luna took the children to the island. The whole time she played and laughed with them.

As they got to the Island Shooting star was waiting. After that the children got handed off to the maids to bathe and feed them. Shooting Star pulls Luna aside and said “You know that book Medley had me read? It was about this island. Well this island has a magic boulder that protected this island. It is one of three items that bring happiness to Equestria; them being Canterlot fountains, the Crystal heart, and the Boulder of protection. Well one hundred years ago an evil Queen named Voldermare knowing she was getting older and couldn’t live forever as a pony; she cast an evil spell on the Boulder and put all her consciousness into the Boulder. I hate to say this, but I think we need Celestia to help us turn it good again.”

Luna shakes her head “No, we can’t let her know what we are doing. If you met the type of pony she had watching my children you would be enraged. They told me how she wouldn’t feed them and take away any blankets they have if they don’t make enough money in a day. “

Shooting star said “I don’t think Celestia would do that on purpose. I bet one of the noble ponies have their hooves in that. And she would be happy to have another of the ancient magical Treasures of Equestria restored. It would be another star in her crown. We both know she is still upset about the Crystal heart from the Crystal Empire. I think this would make up for that.”

Luna asked “And you think she will let me keep these ponies in the Castle in Everfree?”

Shooting star lowered his head and said “No, I think they will go back but they will be treated better. “

“We can’t be sure; I will try to restore the Boulder on my own. If it doesn’t work you keep the ponies safe until we can come up with another plan,” Luna said as she walks to the Boulder.

When she got there she braces herself and points her horn at the large stone. Luna shot a beam of magic into the Boulder and it looked like it might work. The boulder starts to change to white. Then a beam of Dark Magic shot out of the Boulder and hit Luna in the forehead. Luna was knocked down and she sat there in a daze. Shooting Star ran over.

Back in Everfree Castle, Celestia woke about the same time as Luna got hit by the dark magic. She had a feeling something is wrong. “Luna!!” Celestia looked around. “Guards come here.”

The Guards just outside of her door rush in and asked “what is it your highness.”

Celestia said “Could you tell me where Luna is?”

“Luna is out on a flight. She said she needed to clear her head.” One of the Guards answered

“Ok, Could you and the guards go find Luna?” Celestia asked as she got dressed.

“I have something to report; the young ponies that were being watched in the keep on the edge of Everfree were stolen. Reports said it was a Pegasus with a dark coat,” The guard relayed.

“Thank you; go back to work now if I need you again I will call,” Celestia said as she walked past them and into the Throne room. She sat on her throne thinking about her dream and about the missing ponies.

Back on the island, Shooting Star stood next to Luna. “Luna, are you alright?”

Luna stood up and looked around “I am fine but I am not going to try that again. Let’s call it a night, the children need to be put to bed and I need to get back to Everfree before Celestia wakes up.”

Medley already took Luna’s Children to bed and they are waiting for Luna to say good night. Luna came in and read little red riding hove. The young ponies were very scared of the big bad Timber Wolf. They cheered then the Wood cutting Earth pony defeated the Timber wolf. All the young ponies went to sleep without a problem. Luna flew back to Everfree.

Sometime later Luna got back to Everfree. And she saw Celestia setting in the throne room. “Celestia you’re up early today. Did you have trouble sleeping?”

Celestia asked “Luna, where did you take those young ponies.”

Luna look confused and asked “what young Ponies are you talking about.”

“The orphan ponies that you found awhile back,” Celestia said.

Luna acted like she is mad and asked “you mean that they are gone. First you take them away, and now you lose them. And on top of that you left them with that mare. Most likely she sold them so she could have more gems. She is that type of pony after all. But you wouldn’t know would you since you didn’t ever interview her. I bet you left it to one of your awful noble pony. If you left them in my care this wouldn’t have happen.”

Celestia knew Luna is right. She just wanted to get Luna back and didn’t care what happen to those ponies. And she told one of the nobles to take care of them. Thinking back she chose the worst one. Celestia thought “why did I do that? Could it be that I was jealous?” But that doesn’t change the fact she is sure that Luna was the one that took the ponies and disobeyed her order. But she can’t prove it, Luna did it at night. So no pony could see her clearly.

“Then I will search all Equestria to find them.” Celestia looked over at the guards by her throne. “Guards search all Equestria for those young ponies.”

After weeks Celestia didn’t find the ponies. And Luna stayed near the castle so Celestia couldn’t find out where the ponies are. While Luna was away shooting star studied and made a plan to restore the boulder. He set up some advance level spells hoping it would work. He stood in the middle of the circle of power and uses all of his magic and all the magical items he have got. And aim it all at the boulder. Well just like with Luna the beam got shoot back but because of the mismatch of spell and magical items; Shooting Star got transported away, and the island was sealed away for over 1000 years.

While away Shooting Star went on many Advancers and freed many lands; and made one major mistake. He became the crowned prince of a land and the land was cursed by an evil arch mage Unicorn. All ponies of the lands he ruled over got turned to stone and put in a jar. He traveled around looking for knowledge that would help him free his ponies. After he freed them from the stone curse and before he freed them from the jar he got transported back to the island.

Back to now a days, they are now sitting in the garden having a nice little picnic under a tree. That was setup by Twilight’s hoof maidens. Luna and Celestia were sitting next to each other sipping tea. Nyx was lying next to her mother happily eating a cucumber sandwich. Twilight was levitating more food to the plate she is sharing with Nyx. And Shooting Star was leaning against the tree eating an apple.

“I really messed up that time.” Shooting Star said.

Celestia said “Luna before we go farther I will tell you the pony that was watching your Children got put in jail for lying to the crown and for mistreating the children. Then I took all her gems and used them to start Luna’s house. A group of houses I set up to take care of young ponies without parents. And it is run by our retired Royal maids and guard. They think of it as a great honor to take care of those children. So I did learn my lesson. Will you forgive me Shooting star and Luna?”

“Of course dear sister, I will forgive you,” Luna and Celestia Hugged and cried.

Celestia wiped her eyes and said “well after that, the evil magic from that shot from the boulder slowly turned my sweet Luna to Nightmare Moon. And I was too blind to see what was going on.”

Shooting star said “Twilight, I am sure you wonder why Ponyville and this city got combined.”

“Yes, among other questions.” Twilight stated.

Celestia smile “You see Ponyville is near the Everfree forest which has a great deal of built up wild magic. So I guess Ponyville was taken by accident.”

“That is right when this island came back the evil inside of the boulder wanted that magic to strengthen its power, as it try to get it. But I tried stop it but it was too late. You see while I was fighting the boulder the jar that had my kingdoms in it broke. So I have to quickly seal the boulder and Discord combined Equestria and my kingdoms so they didn’t get destroyed.” Shooting Star said.

“Is that so, you know you two made my job harder by doing that?” Celestia said.

Shooting Star laughed and hugged Celestia “My dear sister just thinks of it as 1000 years of brotherly love.”

“So what are we going to do now?” ask Celestia.

Shooting Star smiled and said, “Well, I think we would set up three kingdoms all under the Equestria flag. One Ruled by me, one ruled by you and Luna and the last Cadance and Shining Armor.”

“The idea to giving more land to Cadence and Shining Armor has some merit. I was thinking of giving Cadence more responsibility.” Celestia said with a smile.

“Ok Lets look over the land and divide it among us.” Shooting star said.

“Agreed, I take it that you have maps of our land” Celestia said.

Shooting Star said “no not yet but I will make a map of what our new Equestria looks like.” Shooting Star’s horn glowed and a large piece of paper and a quill appeared. And the quill danced around the page. After some time the quill disappeared. Then Celestia took the map in her magic and looked it over.

“So this is what it looks like now. It is quite a bit bigger. So I take it you would like all that is south of the Equestrian Sea. I will agree to it if you rule with Twilight.” Celestia said.

Shooting Star looked at Twilight and thought it over. “Hmmm, only if you don’t try to interfere with how we rule. The last thing I want is you to try to control me through Twilight.”

“Like I would do that? It hurts that you think I would do that.” Celestia acted hurt.

“Celestia, I know you too well to think you wouldn’t try. But shouldn’t we get back to dividing the land?” Shooting Star said.

“Ok, Shooting Star you are no fun. I guess I will take the southern 2/3 of what is north of the sea.” Celestia said.

“So the rest is Cadance and Shining Armor’s?” asked Nyx.

“Yes, I don’t think Shining Armor and Cadence can handle more than that for now.” Celestia answered.

“Everything looks good. Now we need to have Shining Armor and Cadence here to tell them about this.”

Shooting Star whistle and Firefly flew down and landed next to him. “Firefly, could you fetch Cadence and Shining Armor for us.”

“It would be my honor.” Firefly flew off to get them.

Spike walked out of the Castle and saw all the ponies talking. “Nyx, what’s going on here?”

Nyx looked at spike and said “an evil force transport all of Ponyville here and combine it with the city here to get the magic of the Everfree Forest. And it got seal by that pony over there, his name is Shooting Star. Oh and the Equestria we know isn’t any more. It is a lot bigger and it is now divided into three kingdoms.”

Spike walked over to Twilight and asked “what is going on here?”

“Spike, pretty much what she said.” Twilight said.

Spike raised an eyebrow and said, “You got to be pulling my leg, there is no way all that could happen while I was sleeping.”

Celestia put her hove on Spike’s back and said “Spike, it is all true. Things like this happen when Shooting Star have anything to do with it.”

“You must be Spike. Twilight said you help her a lot with her studies. I am Shooting Star I am Celestia’s Brother.” Shooting Star held out his hove

Spike shook his hove “It is nice to meet you Shooting Star.”

Cadence fly in and landed as Shining Armor ran through the Garden gate wearing armor.

“It is good to see you two could join us here. We have some things to talk over with you,” Nyx said in her Royal tone.

Shining Armor grabbed Nyx and gave her a playful nuggie.

“Guard, watch yourself I am a princess of Equestria,” Nyx said pulling away from Shining Armor.

Shining Armor stands in attention and said “Sorry Princess I lost myself in your cute presence.”

Cadence laugh then asked “Is there something you like to discuss with us?”

“Yes Cadence, because of matters out of our control.” Celestia shot a look at Shooting Star. “We needed to remodel Equestria so there are three kingdoms. One Ruled by Luna and me, one ruled by Twilight and Shooting Star, and last ruled by you two. Of course we will have meetings to discuss matters that affect all of Equestria. This is a great responsibility. We wouldn’t ask this of you if we don’t think you can do it. But if you two don’t think you’re up for it just tell us.” Celestia said.

Cadence and Shining Armor looked at each other and they both smiled. “We can’t let Twilight out do us. Can we? So we will do it,” Shining Armor said.

“If you think we could do it. We will try our best.” Cadence said.

Shooting Star walked over with the map and laid it in front of them. “Here is the map of the new Equestria. We decide to give you this part of Equestria. We think that would be the best fit for you.”

Shining Armor looked over the map, then look at the map key and measure how big his land is. “That is a lot of land and cities, Are you sure we can handle it?”

Celestia put her wing over Shining Armor and said “we have faith in you.”

Twilight thought to herself “Brother, if you only knew that we are giving you what we don’t want.”

Shooting Star leaned close to Twilight and whispered “Twilight, I bet you enjoy deciding who gets what land.”

Twilight whispered back “yes, but I feel guilty deceiving my brother.”

Shooting Star whispered “we are not deceiving him. We are telling him all he needs to know. What good would it do to tell him everything? He is happy with what we told him.”

“What are you two whispering about over there?” Cadence asked with a twinkle in her eyes.

“We are talking about Shining Armor. But that isn’t important right now. We need to talk about our plan to restore the boulder back to good.”

“Ok any ideas how we can do it?” Celestia asked.

Then they started to talk.

Chapter 3: Solution Found

Chapter 3

Rarity has arrived at the castle of the Merponies. She was greeted by the princess of the Merponies, and was invited to have some tea and a snack. Rarity gave the note to the princess. She read it and asked Rarity “Could you help me find the Perfect outfit to be seen by other princesses?”

Rarity smiled “Of course my dear you have to be in the Perfect outfit to meet Royalty! And we should do something with your hair also! And that necklace over there would look just smashing with your eyes!” -20 minutes later- “you look fabulous!” Rarity Said with great pride.

“Thank you so much for your help! Now I am ready to be seen by other royalty,” Aquamarine said.

Then they went back together as they talked about clothes and gems.

About that time Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash got to the door to the throne room of the King lightning Hooves. Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash pushed open the door and saw a very big Pegasus on a throne looking down at them.

“Are you going to come in?” Lighten Hooves asked in his deep booming voice.

Fluttershy hid behind Rainbow Dash. Then she remembered what Shooting Star told her and she imagined his as a teddy bear. As she did so he seemed less intimidating and cuter somehow. So she walked right up to him gave him the note “I have this note for you”. Then noticed that he looked as his had a sore back. “Your look sore do you need a back rub.”

Lightning Hooves was taken back. “If you don’t mind that would be great.”

“I don’t mind at all.” Fluttershy said with a smile.

Rainbow Dash was still stunned from how Fluttershy acted. Lightning Hooves got on the floor so Fluttershy can give him a back rub.

Then he called out to Rainbow Dash “You, Pegasus read this note out loud for me.”

Rainbow Dash jumped up, got the note and read it.*

Dear King Lightning Hooves,

We invite you to meeting to discuss the boulder of protection. Come as soon as you can. If you don’t, I am sure Medley has some funny stories about you when you were younger. And I will have her tell us them as we wait.

Prince Shooting Star

Lightning Hooves jumped up and called “Guards, get my carriage ready.”

He Looked at Fluttershy. “Would you might finishing the back rub on the way.”

Fluttershy smiled “Not at all.”

The king Asked Fluttershy “What is your name by the way?”

“Fluttershy and that is my friend Rainbow Dash.”

“Glad to meet you Fluttershy.”

Rainbow Dash asked “what about me?”

“What about you?” Lightning Hooves asked looking down on the much smaller pony.

“Lightning Hooves stop being mean to my friend,” Fluttershy scolded him.

He looked sad and looked at Fluttershy and said “I’m sorry.”

AJ found The Fairy pony Princess in her Garden and as AJ handed the note to her she asked “These Plants are mighty big. Did you use magic to make grow that big?”

The fairy pony princess read the note then said. “Yes and No, we can only use magic to make plants grow. But we can’t make them grow big if the soil isn’t good. So we build up the Soil, so we can have better plants. I will tell you how to do it on the way back.”

Pinkie pie And Derpy walked into the castle of the unicorns and find Princess Galaxy there talking with her Daughter Fuzzy. Fuzzy saw them and asked “Who are you, I haven’t seen you around.”

Pinkie Pie was delighted to meet yet another pony. She thought to herself that she will need to have one major party. In fact it will have to be the biggest party she has ever done. She ran up to this new pony and said “I am pinkie pie and this is Derpy! And we are your new friends! What is your name?”

“I am Fuzzy, glad to meet you” Looking at Derpy “I don’t mean to be rude but what is with your eyes.”

“A head injury when was young. My family was out on a hike and there was a rock slide. My mother and father tried to protect us but one rock was going at my little sister dinky. And I flew and grab her and that rock hit my head and my eye became like this.” Derpy said.

Fuzzy said “If it makes you feel better, I can’t use Magic well, and I sometimes I lose control of my magic and make things worse.”

Derpy walked over and hugged Fuzzy. Derpy then said “You will be alright. You just need to work harder at controlling your magic like I have to make harder at controlling my eye.” They both smile at each other and laugh.

Princess Galaxy smiled “I don’t think you came here to become friends with my Daughter. So what can I do for you?”

Pinkie Pie smiled “Oh yes, Shooting Star want us to give you this.” the Pinkie Pie handed the note over to Galaxy.

Princess Galaxy read it then said “Then we should get going shouldn’t we.”

AJ walked around the castle side of the castle “thanks a lot; I will try those new way of growing plants. And those plants that you show me I have to start growing them they were mighty tasty.”

The Rosebud flies over to Twilight “Hello I am Rosebud; It is a great honor to meet such a beautiful Alicorn as yourself.”

Then pinkie’s group showed up next and the unicorn princess bowed and said “Honor to meet you, your highness.”

Then a big Pegasus bowed in front of her and the Mermare princess in a basket carried by four Pegasus Guards landed in front of her and she bowed.

Celestia is smiled and leaned over to Shooting star “it looks like she will be your co-ruler after all.”

Shooting star laughed “It could be worst, we could be ruling together again.” Celestia nodded and smile.

Shooting Star stepped forward “We decide that Princess Twilight Sparkle and I well co-rule this land.”

AJ look at Twilight “Is that alright with you Sugar cube?”

Twilight stands tall “It is what needs to be done to make sure every pony is safe.”

Shooting Star stamped his hooves and got every pony’s attention. “Ok I would like to hear your view on our plan. In six days is the moon festival. At that time Twilight and I will be crowned as rulers of this land, which will anger the force in the boulder and it will attack us. Cadence, Celestia, Luna and I will hold it in our magic as Twilight and her friends use the Element of Harmony to defeat it. We have a lot to do to get ready for this to happen. First we need to fix up this city. Leader of the pony types, Could you get your ponies to help us out? And before you ask Aquamarine, yes I have replacements for all the crystals that were broken in my fight all those ages ago.”

Galaxy smile and said “it looks like you have everything on order. I am sure I speak for all the ponies here we will help you all we can. I know you don’t ask anything of other you wouldn’t do yourself.”

All the leader ponies cheered and agreed to help. After they had some snacks and talked for a bit the leader ponies went back to their lands. Rainbow Dash again gathered the all the ponies in the city at the Castle. Twilight walked onto the podium and started to address the ponies. As Celestia, Luna, Shooting Star, shining Armor, and Cadence went to talk over matters of state.

Twilight started her speech “Thank you for your patience. Well I will tell you what is going on. In six days will be the Festival of the moon. At the Festival the moon will give its power to the city. On that day we will defeat the force that imprisoned us here. For the ponies From Ponyville we are working on a way to get you back to the mainland. I am sorry to say Ponyville is no more. When we get sent here Ponyville and this city became one. For the time being we will have to live here and make this our home. Celestia well try to find a new place for all that want to leave. Tomorrow the ponies from all over this land will help us cleanup and restore the city to its former glory. We hope we could depend on your help in this. Thank you for your time.”

With that twilight walked back into the castle and sighed. “I wish I have something happier to tell them. Like we are all going home right now.” she looked at her friends she knew they wish the same thing.

Rainbow Dash flew over and hugged her “We all know it is out of our control, and you will do all you can to make it so we can go home.”

Rarity smiled “She is right, and we get to stay in this beautiful castle at least.”

Then a kind looking maid pony walked up “hello I am Medley I am the head maid here. Would you like me to show you to your rooms? Oh Princess Twilight Sparkle, Golden Locket would like to speak with you. She is in the throne room.” She pointed at another maid. “Dusty will show you the way.”

“Go on and do your princess work, we can talk over dinner.” Rarity assured Twilight.

AJ shook her head “Sorry Medley, I would rather spend the night at the farm. And Twilight I know you are going to trying your best to make everything right.”

“Thank you AJ and all of you for being here for me; talk with you later.” Twilight said just before she followed Dusty to throne room.

Medley showed Fluttershy to her room first. Fluttershy missed her small cottage and her animals. She looked around and saw a fairy pony sleeping on the bed. She didn’t want to wake it so walked slowly to the door but bump the desk and everything on the desk fell to the floor. And wake the fairy pony.

The fairy pony looked over and smiled. Flew over to Fluttershy and said “hi I am Honeysuckle, what is your name.”

Fluttershy would normally be timid but there was something about Honeysuckle’s smile that put her at ease. She smiled back “I am Fluttershy, I am sorry I woke up, is this your room. I will ask for another room.”

“Don’t worry about it, why don’t we share the room, I sleep better with someone in the room with me, and I have a feeling you are the same.”

Fluttershy would also feel better with another pony here, it is a big room and it felt not so big with her around. So she nodded and Honeysuckle did a little dance in the air. Fluttershy smiled at the dance.

Next room was Rarity.

Medley smiled “there is a cute filly waiting for you in your room.”

Rarity walked in and Sweetie belle jumped out and said “Surprise. I thought we could have a sister sleep over tonight. Wouldn’t it be sooo fun to do each other hairs and play dress up?”

“I would love to but I think I will design a dress for twilight for the next time she has to do a Formal event. If I remember right Princess Celestia was talking about introducing Twilight and Princes Shooting star as rulers in Equestria. I would love to go with them but I remember the Grand Galloping Gala. That was a disaster, when we were done the Ballroom was a mess. Yes I will tell everyone they shouldn’t asked Twilight to go, yes that is what I will do. Sweetie Belle don’t you have homework from School to do?” Rarity said.

“Yes, I do. I can’t believe we had school today even though we are in this new place.” Sweetie belle complained

“I think Cheerilee did the right thing having school. It is safer for you to be in school.” Rarity said as she got paper for the desk drawer.

Sweetie belle opened her saddlebag and took out her books “I guess but I wanted to look around. I heard you got to swim with the Merponies. I am so jealous. You get to do all the fun things.”

“I won’t say I didn’t enjoy being with the Merponies. But I didn’t do it for fun. It was to keep you and all the ponies here safe. And now you are safer because of it. Now do your homework. I have work to do,” Rarity said as her started to design the dress twilight and Sweetie belle her homework.

Twilight got to the throne room to see Golden locket the castle’s accountant, a smart looking brown Unicorn with an Orange mane. She looks at Twilight through her wire framed glasses. She walked over to Twilight and said “Prince Shooting Star told me to talk to you about the cost of tomorrow’s cleanup.”

Twilight could see Celestia, Cadence, Luna, and Shining Armor in the doorway then they ran off. She had a feeling that they dumped something they don’t want to do on her. She spent the next two hours going over what each thing will cost.

After a while Rarity stopped to get something to eat and saw the sweetie belle trying to write her report on what happen today. Rarity smiled and said “Sweetie belle it is time to go to dinner.”

Sweetie Belle look up from her book “Yeah, I am soooo hungry.”

“Then let’s go.” Rarity said as she stood by the door.

At dinner Twilight walks up to Shooting star. “Shooting star that was mean of you. I didn’t know what I was doing, and I felt unprepared and unsure. It was the worst thing you could do to me.”

Celestia look up from her food and said “how dare you do that to her. That was uncalled for.”

Shooting Star looked At Celestia “it was your idea. I just thought it was part of your Princess training for Twilight.”

Celestia look at twilight “Twilight it will build character, something you will need to have to be a Alicorn Princess”

Then Celestia walks off. Shining Armor start to laugh, Twilight gave him an evil look and storm away.

Shining Armor ran after Twilight and when he caught up. “Twilly, Celestia have done things like that to Cadence and I all the time. I think it is her was of teasing.” Shining armor smiles “And anyways it was fun seeing you worry about not being ready for something” Shining Armor gave his most charming smile.

Twilight Pushes her brother “stop with that smile I can’t stay mad at you if you give me that smile. I have something to tell you the land we gave you was the easiest to rule over and that is why we gave it to you.”

“I already know. Cadence and I are not ready as it is. So we knew, no, we hoped they gave us the easier parts of the kingdom. I am more worried about you. Even though Shooting Star is a strong ruler, I worry you would be overwhelmed by the pressure of ruling. Just promise not to overdo it”

“Ok I Promise if you promise when ruling gets too hard you would ask for help.”

“I promise.” Shining Armor said

“I have a library of books to read. So I will be going. Bye” Twilight said

“Bye.” Shining Armor said as he went back to finish his meal.

Then Twilight walked to the library and see forget-me-not. “Forget-me-not thanks again for this morning. I couldn’t have done it without you.”

Forget-me-not smiled “No need to thank me again, it was a lot of fun this morning. There is a magic book I just found. It has some really fun looking spells in it. Do you want to try using them with me?”

Twilight scold Forget-me-not “Magic isn’t a toy, and should be use responsibility.”

Forget-me-not laughed “It is firework magic and illusion magic. You know magic that is made for fun.”

Twilight smiled “That is different, Trixie used that type of magic and I have always wanted to try it out for myself.”

So Forget-me-not and Twilight went outside to try some spells and spend the rest of the night happily played with magic.

Don't ask how Rarity had tea underwater, becuase I have no answer.

Chapter 4: Day 2

Chapter 4 Day 2

The next Morning we finds Rarity asleep at her writing desk she didn’t just finish Twilights dress design but make one for all the other princess. A fairy pony flies into the room and look at the drawing of the dresses. When Sweetie Belle woke up and bounced out of bed and asked the fairy “What are you doing? Rarity doesn’t like any pony looking at her dresses until they are done.”

Rarity woke not too happy with her noisy sister. ”Sweetie Belle!! Can’t you Wake up more quietly.”

The Fairy pony smiled. “Sweetie belle, would you help me get some Flowers for this room. I find it much more enjoyable to create art then the room have Beautiful thing in it,” Then turning to Rarity “And it is art that you’re making here.”

Rarity looks at this fairy pony, “Thank you and you are?”

The fairy laughed, “Oh sorry, I am Rosebud we met yesterday. I heard you are making a dress for the new princess and I had to see what you’re making. I knocked but no one answered. I couldn’t help myself; I had to see the new princess’s dress. But I saw and I will be off. Sweetie belle let’s get some flowers for this room. I have a wonderful idea. Why don’t we get her breakfast from the kitchen too so she doesn’t have to stop working. I know when I start a project I don’t want to stop till it is done.”

With that they left the room, and Rarity just went back to work.

Sweetie Belle and Rosebud walked down the hallway Sweetie Belle Happily listened to Rosebud talk about the flowers that have to be picked and where to put them in the room. As they went down the hall they came cross Medley coming out of the Library. As she closes the door she said “could you keep quiet the princess had a late night studying.”

“I bet Forget-me-not had something to do with this,” Rosebud said in a knowing tone.

Sweetie Belle laughed “Well Twilight loves books, so I don’t think she mind it at all.”

Medley smiled “I know both of them enjoyed it greatly.”

Rosebud sighed “if that is the case it is alright, I guess.”

“I know then they leave both Forget-me-not and Honeysuckle will be lonely.” Medley said with a frown.

Rosebud said “This isn’t the time to think about that. We have a job to do and we have to do it. It isn’t like we couldn’t visit them.”

At that Sweetie Belle start to bounce with joy, “Yes, you have to visit; I will show you around and introduce you to all my friends. It will be soooo great.”

Medley smiles “Did you have a fun night with your sister?”

Sweetie Belle looked down and said “No, I had to do my Homework from School. And I fall asleep before I was done.”

Both Rosebud and Medley laughed. Then Rosebud said “Sweetie belle if we don’t hurry you sister wouldn’t have flowers in her room!!! And she might get hungry. “

“It would be much easier if you use this saddle bag to put the Flowers in.” Medley held up a new saddle bag. Then she put it on Sweetie Belle.

Sweetie Belle smiled and said “thank you, it is a Beautiful bag. Is it yours?”

“No I made it for you last night. I heard you like to sing. Maybe we can sing together sometime. I also enjoy music as you can see from my cutie mark” said Medley.

Sweetie Belle looked at her Cutie mark which is a bar of notes. Sweetie belle smiled “thanks for the bag and I would love to sing with you sometime.”

Rosebud thinks to herself “so medley found a pony that is worth teaching. Medley has been looking for a student for some time. Is sweetie belle that good at singing?”

While they were talking Nyx walk up. “Sweetie belle so you got a new saddle bag?”

“Hi Nyx, yes I got a new saddle bag. I don’t know why you complain about castle life. I am having soooooo much fun staying here.” Sweetie Belle said.

Nyx face turned sour “This place is nothing like the Castle of nightmare moon. The cooks here don’t over design the food. I am not force to bring night eternal. And my mom isn’t imprisoned.”

Medley is confused “why were you in the Castle of Nightmare Moon?”

Sweetie Belle said “Well she is Nightmare Moon, kind of.”

“Isn’t Luna Nightmare moon?” Medley asked a bit confused.

Nyx said “yes and so am I.”

“How can you and Luna be nightmare moon?” Medley asked

Twilight open the library door and said “come in here and I will tell you.”

“Sweetie Belle, we should get going,” Rosebud said. With that Rosebud and Sweetie Belle went down the hallway. They went to the main floor and out the door. Then they watched all the ponies working to repair the city. Pegasus used Wing power to blow the dirt down the street, and Unicorns using magic to repair door and windows. Fairy Ponies planted and grew flowers.

As they watch the activities a large Pegasus sneaked up behind them and said. “Hi little Unicorn and Nyx, how are you today”

Sweetie belle jumped and Nyx gave him an evil stare at the pony.

“You shouldn’t scare a little ponies like that you should be ashamed of yourself.” Rosebud said.

At that he backed away and bowed his head “I am sorry Little ponies.”

Then Rainbow Dash flew down and said “Yes, you should be ashamed.”

Then Lightning hooves looked at Rainbow Dash and said “Don’t you have work to do?”

Rainbow Dash went back to work.

Rosebud smiled “So you find a new play thing, is firefly getting boring.”

Lightning hooves laughed, “No, it is Just this Rainbow Dash reminds me of a young Firefly. And it is fun to throw my weight around with her. That Fluttershy I don’t get her at all. It is like she sees me as a cute little animal.”

Nyx let out a little laugh. Knowing what is behind Fluttershy actions.

“Well Sweetie belle and I need to get flowers so we will talk later. Come on Sweetie belle,” Rosebud said.

“I will stay here Sweetie Belle. I have some things to talk to Firefly about.” Nyx said.

Sweetie Belle waved goodbye. Rosebud flew off and Sweetie Belle followed. then Rosebud Said, “That is King Lightning Hooves, he like to throw my weight around with Pegasus with Spirit. I find it funny myself.”

After some time they reached a large Flower field and Rosebud told Sweetie belle what Flowers to pick.

As they were about done Apple bloom walked up “what’s ya doin.”

Sweetie belle smiled and said “Apple bloom, we are picking flowers for Rarity, and when we are done we will have breakfast with Rarity. How about you?”

“I’m lookin for Applejack, have you seen her.” Apple Bloom asked.

Rosebud answered, “I think she is in the Town Center.”

With that Apple Bloom ran off.

Sweetie belle looked at Rosebud and asked “you know Applejack”

Rosebud smiled and said, “Yes, I met her when she came to our village.” she Looked at the flowers. “Well I think this will do, time to get breakfast.”

They made their way to the castle and into the kitchen. When they got there all the maids in the kitchen fell in love with Sweetie Belle. “What a little cutie. Are you the one Medley made the saddle bag for?” Nurse’s Corner asked.

“Yes, here is the saddle bag, isn’t it beautiful,” Sweetie belle answered.

Dusty said, “Would you do a little turn to show us it.”

“Yes, would you please,” said Spic and Span

Sweetie belle thought with such a beautiful Saddle bag, a plain old turn wouldn’t do. So she did a little dance to show off the saddle bag. The maids laugh.

Dusty laugh “You are so cute, and that dance was cute also.”

“Come on ladies. We have lunch to make,” the Chef said

Sweetie Belle looks confused, “Didn’t you just made breakfast, why are you making lunch.”

Chef laughed, “We are making lunch for all the ponies working outside and that take time. Why don’t you go eat your breakfast? We have work to do.”

As Sweetie Belle pushes the food cart down the hall Medley walk up and said “Rarity is in the sewing room.”

Rosebud said, “Thank you Medley.”

They went to the sewing room. When they walk in the room it was like all the fabric in the room jumped from the shelves and landed everywhere. As they looking for a place to eat some unicorn maids walk in levitating a table and a Table cloth. One of the Unicorn Maids said “we will be done in a second.” The maids put down the table and put the Tablecloth on. Then they place the plates of food on the table and leave.

Rosebud laughed “I see Medley is on top of everything as always. Rarity, are you hungry?”

Rarity put down what she was working with “I am famished dear. What are we having?”

“Blueberry muffins, eggs sunny side up, hay bacon, pancakes and orange juice.” Sweetie belle said.

“I take it that it was Sweetie belle that ordered that meal.” Rarity said in a knowing tone.

Rosebud laughed “didn’t you say you were Famished?”

Rarity smiled “you got me there, Princess Rosebud. I am sorry I didn’t remember who you were this morning.”

“Just rosebud please, I don’t think the title of Princess fits me. Most of the time I am working in my garden with dirt smeared on my face and hands.”

Sweetie Belle took off her saddlebag and remembered it “Rarity, Medley gave me this new Saddle bag isn’t it nice.” Sweetie Belle beamed

“That is good your old one was getting worn out.” Rarity said approvingly

“So how are the dresses coming?” Rosebud asked

“I will be done soon.” Rarity smiled. Rarity took a bit of food. “I have to get this recipe. It is to die for!”

“The chef here was the best in Canterlot at one time,” Rosebud said

“I can see why. This is wonderful. But I should get back to work,” Rarity said

They finish eating then Sweetie Belle ran off to see what Apple Bloom, Nyx, and Scootaloo was up to.

Rosebud put vases of flowers everywhere and asked “Isn’t this better?”

Rarity looks around and answered “It is really nice thank you.”

Rosebud smiled and said, “I should go help the other Fairy ponies. I look forward to seeing the dresses done. Bye for now” and with that she left.

Rarity thought to herself “I was born for this Castle life.” Then she went back to work.

Sweetie belle ran into Nyx in the hallway “Nyx, there you are, what are you doing.”

“I am Luna’s and Celestia’s aid today. I am running to get something Called Heavenly Angel cake for Luna. She said something about having tea with the other princesses.” Nyx related.

“Nyx the princess is helping the other princesses.” Sweetie Belle teased.

Nyx looked unhappy “I am not a princess, well I am but I am not. Does that make sense?”

Sweetie Belle shook her head.”No, but I understand. Rarity explained it to me. You are a princess in that you are a female of the royal family. But you are not a crown princess meaning you can’t rule.”

“That doesn’t matter I have to run to the kitchen to get the cake. Bye Sweetie Belle.”

“Bye Nyx.” Sweetie Belle Said as she walk down the hall to the door.

As Sweetie belle walked out the door of the castle could see Scootaloo yelling at Lightning Hooves. They were nose to nose “I told you I can’t fly”
