Chapter 1: Start of a new life

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.

Author's Note

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”

Lightning hooves raise his head a little bit. Scootaloo keep her nose against his.

“Then why do you have wings?” Lightning hooves asked

Lightning hooves raise his head a little bit. Scootaloo keep her nose against his.

“Because I was born with them!” Scootaloo yelled.

Lightning hooves raise his head a little bit. Scootaloo keep her nose against his.

“I think you are faking it to get out of work,” Lightning hooves said

Lightning hooves raise his head a little bit. Scootaloo keep her nose against his.

“I wish I could fly because it is embarrassing to be a Pegasus that can’t fly!” yelled Scootaloo.

Lightning hooves raise his head a little bit. Scootaloo keep her nose against his.

“If you can’t fly what you are doing now?” Lightning hooves asked

Lightning hooves doesn’t raise his head anymore because he is standing at his full height.

“I am arguing with you!” Yelled Scootaloo.

Sweetie belle bounces over and said “Scootaloo you’re flying. That is sooooooo Wonderful!”

Scootaloo looked at Sweetie belle and said “We both know I can’t fly.” Then she looks around and said “I am flying! How can this be?”

Sweetie Belle said “I think it is because you have wings.”

Scootaloo yelled “I know I have wings, I just didn’t know I can fly with these small wings!”

Sweetie Belle looked confused and said “What about Snowflake, his wings are the same sizes as yours, and he is much bigger.”

Scootaloo said “We don’t talk about that.”

Lightning Hooves smiled as he flew away.

Sweetie Belle said, “We have to show Apple Bloom that you can fly now.”

“Totally!!” Scootaloo said.

Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo dashed off to find Apple Bloom to show her. They found Apple Bloom carrying seeds for the Fairy ponies. Sweetie Belle ran up and said “Guess what, this is soooo great.”

“Did you get your Cutie mark?” Apple Bloom asked excitedly

Sweetie Belle looked down and said “NO” then looked up and said “but it is great still the same, Scootaloo can fly now.”

Apple Bloom looked up to saw Scootaloo flying around and yelled “I AM HAPPY FOR YOU SCOOTALOO.” Then she looked at Sweetie belle she said, “There is a lot of work to get done here. So why don’t you and Scootaloo help out too? I am sure you can find ponies to help.”

Then Sweetie Belle saw Twilight with Firefly. Sweetie Belle thought I will help Twilight. She ran over to Twilight and asked “Twilight is there anything I can help you with? Every pony is busy and I want to help like apple Bloom.”

Twilight thought “I don’t know of anything you can help with, will you wait a second I will find something for you to do.”

Then Rainbow Dash showed up and report “Twilight all the streets are clean on the Southeast side. Could you send some Earth ponies to pick up the dirt piles?”

When Scootaloo flew down and showed Rainbow Dash that she can fly now. “Rainbow Dash look I can fly now.” Scootaloo beamed.

Rainbow dash give a thumb up with her wind “That is awesome, what happen to make you fly.”

Scootaloo sat down and draw circles in the dirt. “I don’t want to talk about it”

Sweetie belle bounced over and said, “Well she was fighting with lightning hooves about the fact she couldn’t fly and he trick her into flying.”

“Sweetie belle I said I didn’t want to talk about it.” Scootaloo scolded.

Sweetie Belle smile and said “Scootaloo, you didn’t talk about it I did. Silly!”

Twilight asked “So Scootaloo, Lightning Hooves helped you. Did you thank him?”

Scootaloo face turned sour. “No, because I don’t like him.”

Rainbow dash put her wing over Scootaloo and said “You and I both kid.”

Firefly fell to the ground laughing. She knows far too well how they feel. When she stops laughing she told them, “He must really like you two. He only torments the Pegasus he likes a lot. But there is Fluttershy, I guess she is special.”

Rainbow Dash smiled “You can say she is special, Twilight to you remember the manticore.”

Twilight nodded “Yes and how she stared down that Dragon.”

“She also stared down the Cockatrice in the Everfree forest.” Sweetie Belle added.

Firefly said “you wouldn’t know by looking at her.”

Then Fluttershy walked up and told Twilight “Twilight all the cute little animals are safely out of the city and in their new homes. And they are so happy that this city will be in use again. They said it was lonely. Oh Lightning Hooves is pulling Pegasus off cleaning duty and put them on Dirty removal.”

“Thank you Fluttershy.” Twilight said.

The whole time Firefly was looked at Fluttershy and trying to see if what they said is true. Fluttershy didn’t like the way Firefly looked at her and flew away.

“At this rate we will have this city clean and ready to live in today.” Firefly remarked.

“You know Twilight there are some ponies that would like to stay and live here.” Rainbow Dash said.

Twilight laughed, “And Rarity is one of them. I went to see her before coming out here; she simply love being in a city that will be as grand as Canterlot. But I don’t blame any pony for wanting to stay because when we are able to go home there wouldn’t be any home to go back to.”

Then Celestia flew up and landed next to Twilight. Celestia said “That doesn’t matter now. We need to finish this.”

“You’re right, and either way we need to finish this.” Twilight said.

Shooting star walked up “Celestia Let me, Twilight, and shining Armor take care of things here. Why don’t you, Luna, and Cadence go back to your capitals and take care of the matters of your kingdoms”

Celestia look depressed and said, “I understand. I will go to find Luna and Cadence.” Then she went to find Luna and Cadence.

Twilight looked at Shooting Star and said, “She didn’t look like she wanted to go.”

Shooting star nodded and said “Of course she didn’t want to go, this is fun for her. She likes to be in the Middle of the action, it remind her of how it was when we were rebuilding Equestria after discord. But now she needed to go back to being the princess of Canterlot and the leader of her ponies. She knew it but didn’t want to face it. And I know Cadence or Luna wouldn’t tell her. Look in this magic mirror. See Cadence have muddy hooves and is putting mud on Shining Armor, and here is Luna playing at the school with the children, do you think they would be allowed to act like this in their kingdoms.

Rainbow dash said, “Then they shouldn’t have to go.”

Twilight looked sad and said, “Yes they do, they have ponies that rely on them back in their kingdoms.”

Shooting star trying to change the subject said “Rainbow Dash do you have room on your team for the new flying Scootaloo? Sweetie Belle you're with me I have little jobs that are perfect for you.”

Rainbow dash looked over to Scootaloo and asked “You want to join my team.”

Scootaloo smiled and said “YES!” she tried to act cool “I mean if you don’t mind.”

Rainbow Dash looked at Firefly and said “Tomorrow let’s have a race to see who is faster.”

Firefly smiled and said “you’re on.”

Shooting Star smiled and Said to Firefly and Rainbow Dash “If you don’t want to be put on dirt Removal duty find something else for your teams to do.” With that they raced off.

“Sweetie Belle your job is to wear this sable bag so I can keep my papers sorted and do odd jobs.” Shooting star said.

“Wouldn’t she get bored?” Twilight asked.

Shooting Star smiled and said “No, she is going be my aid pony. When I need something I will have her get it for me. If a need to have something delivered she will do it.”

“Can’t you do it yourself?” Twilight asked.

Shooting Star looked around. “Isn’t it great how well everything is going? I didn’t think it would go this well.”

“Yes it is going well.” Twilight said slightly agitated at the fact he didn’t answer her question.

Shooting star said, “Well Sweetie Belle would you rather help me or go to school with all the other young ponies?”

“I would rather help you.” Sweetie Belle said.

“Sweetie Belle, learning is an adventure.” Twilight said.

Both Sweetie Belle and Shooting star give Twilight the “you are kidding me right” look. “Well Sweetie Belle let’s check up on the southeast side of town.”

“Good idea.” Sweetie belle said and they left to check out the south east part.

Sometime later at the Everfree Castle Celestia was getting ready to leave.

“Are you sure you can handle this on your own? I can stay and help,” Celestia said hoping they would give you a reason to stay.

“We can handle it from here. You were a great help thanks. But you have been gone for two days, and your work must be piling up. I am glad I am not you,” Shooting Star said

Celestia smile “I am sure Luna can handle it.”

Luna stepped in front of Celestia and said, “No you don’t sister. I love you, but I am not doing that alone.”

“Ok, Luna. Shooting star, this is what always happen when I am around you. Fighting King Sombra was all your idea.” Celestia said.

Shooting star smiled “Yes it was. But didn’t you want to save those poor ponies.”

Celestia smiled “Yes I wanted to save them. But then you are around I do things I wouldn’t do otherwise. Like the race through dead hove canyon.”

Shoot star laughed “yeah, Luna and firefly did save our hindquarters that day.”

Luna, Celestia, and Shooting Star laughed.

Shooting Star said “Well we waste enough time. We have to finish here and you have work to do. It must be tuft being the oldest.”

Celestia smiled “Ok we would be going as soon as Cadence is done said good bye.”

“My Shining Armor, I will miss you so much.” Cadence start to cry.

Shining armor hug Cadence “Cadence, I will see you tomorrow morning. So be my strong princess until them.

Cadence wiped the tears from her eyes. “I will try my handsome Prince.

Everyone else in the room and tried not to laugh at this scene.

“Bye, my sweet handsome prince.” Cadence said with a brave face and tears in her eyes.

Then they open a portal and left.

“My Sweet handsome Shining Armor I will miss you so much.” Twilight said in her best Cadence voice

Shining Armor laughed and said “You are just jealous that you don’t have someone like that.”

Shooting star put his hove around Twilight and said “Are you so sure.”

Shining Armor face went sad and he curls up in a ball and said. “My little Twilly is gone. My little Twilly is gone.

They both look at Shining armor

“We should get back to work shouldn’t we?” Shooting Star asked.

Twilight answered “You are right. What is next in the list?”

Shining armor look stunned “Twilly aren’t you going to comfort me.”

“No, you are just overreacting over nothing. Shooting star and I have only known each other for two days. How could we be anything but friends right now?” Twilight stated.

“What about later?” Shining Armor asked.

Twilight looked at shooting Star and smiled. “We should get back to work, shouldn’t we?” Twilight said ignoring her brother.

Shining armor cried “Twilly!!!!”

Then Twilight and Shooting Star walked off and got back to work. And the rest of the day they got the City cleaned and ready to live in. Sweetie belle loved being useful and was running all over the city meeting new ponies and getting snacks from the kitchen. And before the sun went down everything was finished in the Everfree.

Chapter 5: Day at the Races

Chapter 5: day 3

Day Three started with everypony opened their business in this new city. The Apple family went apple bucking. The Cakes opened the new Sugar cube corner. Rarity moved in to her new shop. Pinkie went out to meet the rest of the new ponies in the city. Rainbow dash and Firefly were getting ready for their race that afternoon. Shooting star and Twilight and looked over the paperwork from yesterday.

Shooting Star looked up the pile of papers and asked “Twilight. Are you going to the Race today?”

Twilight sighed “Not if we don’t finish this work.”

With that they went back to work both of them want to see the race later.

Fluttershy was sitting outside her new cottage having tea with Honeysuckle. Fluttershy liked to have the Fairy ponies around, they helped her with the animals and they are small and cute. What made things feel more like home is there forest near her Cottage which is very much like Everfree Forest.

“Honeysuckle, what do you know about that Forest over there?” Fluttershy asked pointing at it.

Honeysuckle smiled “It appeared three days ago, it is all dark and creepy, and it has all types a magic creatures, it is great fun.”

Fluttershy worried. “You should be careful if that is the Everfree Forest there are many monsters that would eat you.”

Honeysuckle smile “yes, I will be careful”

Pinkie and fizzy are playing beach volleyball with the Merponies; Surf rider and Sea Breeze. Fuzzy bump into Pinkie and Pinkie miss the ball.

“You may have won today but I will have a rematch.” Pinkie said in a playful way.

“You did wonderful for a first time player.” Surf rider said

With that Pinkie grab Fizzy and said “we will be going; we have more ponies to play with.” And Pinkie ran to find her new friends.

Back at the Sugar cube Corner, Medley walked in and saw Pound Cake and pumpkin cake playing on the floor and smiled. Miss Cake walked out and said “Welcome to Sugar cube corner, what can I get for you?”

“Yes, I heard from a pink bouncing pony that you sell the best cakes in Equestria.” Medley said.

Miss Cake Smiled “that’s pinkie.”

Medley smiled “So that is pinkie, I can see why I was warned about her. Well I would like something special for prince shooting Star and Princess Twilight Sparkle, they have been working so hard today and yesterday so I think they should have a treat.”

“Prince Shooting Star isn’t he the one that had Sweetie Belle helping him?” Miss Cake asked.

Medley answered “Yes, he is the best ruler we ever had and Princess Twilight Sparkle will also be great when she finds her ruling style.”

“So what type of cake would you want?” Miss Cake asked.

Medley think for a second then said “How about a double layered white cake with whipped cream and fresh peaches in the middle.”

“We can do that. What size would you like?” Miss cake asked

“Hmm 9 inches by 11 inches would be great” Medley answered.

Miss Cake Said “Ok we will make it and deliver it to the Castle when it is done.” Miss Cake talked quietly. “You see my husband wants to see the inside of the castle once.”

Medley laughed and said “I see no problem with him seeing the Castle.” With that Medley pays and leaves to do more shopping.

Then in Kingdom of Mystical Mountains Pinkie stood on a Cloud and talked with Pegasus. Firefly looked at her and asked Rainbow dash. “Isn’t she an earth pony? How can she walk on clouds?”

“You don’t know Pinkie Pie do you. No rule applies to Pinkie. She can do anything.” Rainbow dash said.

“But” Firefly started to say.

“I said anything” Rainbow Dash interrupted

Firefly asked “Is this like with Fluttershy?”

“No Fluttershy is scary when she is mad, Pinkie doesn’t make any Sense” Rainbow Dash said.

Firefly asked “ok I understand the pinkie is Special but what about Fuzzy?”

Rainbow dash looked at the unicorn and said “You got me there. That doesn’t make sense.”

Pinkie bounced over and hugged Rainbow dash and said “I went to see Twilight and she told me about your race and I was like wow and she told me it was going to be in the Clouds and I was like yeah till I remember I couldn’t walk on the Clouds and I was like ooh, then Twilight said she can cast that spell to make it so I could walk on the Clouds and I was like yeah. And here I am with Fuzzy to help you prepare for the race.”

Rainbow Dash looked at pinkie and said “You know that Rarity have a necklace that makes it so you can breathe under water. If you get that you could meet all the Merponies and make them your friends.”

With that Pinkie was gone. And Fuzzy sat there making Bubbles. Rainbow Dash looked at her sitting there and asks “Shouldn’t we fly her down.”

Firefly smiled and told Rainbow Dash “She is fine, and look there isn’t that Derpy there hugging Fuzzy.”

Rainbow Dash looked and said “I guess it is fine; Derpy might be clumsy but is a good friend.”

With that they flew through the course again so they knew how the wind blew that day.

About that time back in the castle.

“Was it alright to pawn Pinkie Pie off on Rainbow Dash?” Shooting Star asked.

“We do it all the time to each other. She might be at Rarity’s or Apple jack’s place by now.” Twilight said.

“I am all done how about you.” Shooting Star said.

“This is the last one.” Twilight signed a paper

Medley walked in and said “That is good to hear because a cake just got here from Sugar cube Corner.”

Twilight look at Shooting Star and ask “How is it that when we need her or we need something done she shows up.”

Shooting Star just smiled and said “I stopped asking a while ago and I just enjoy it now.”

Then Fluttershy, Rosebud, forget-me- not and Honeysuckle walked in. and Medley hand each a plate of cake and a cup of tea. Place one in front of Shooting star and twilight. Twilight sat there thinking it over decide it is like pinkie sense. And eat her cake happily.

Pinkie bounced into Rarity’s shop and said “Rarity, Rainbow Dash told me that if I get the necklace from you that let you breathe underwater I could make friends with the Merponies.”

Rarity levitates the necklace over and said “Well I was going to give it back to Prince Shooting Star but I see no harm with letting you use it.”

And she gave it to pinkie and Pinkie ran off.

Applejack just got done bucking apples and Apple Bloom asked “Applejack did you hear Firefly and Rainbow Dash are going to have a race?”

“Yes I know about it, but how did you found out about it?” AJ asked.

“Scootaloo told us about it. I know Rainbow Dash will win.” Apple Bloom said.

“I don’t know, Firefly is a strong flyer and even Rainbow Dash is unsure if she could win. I think that is why she wants to do it.” AJ said.

Apple Bloom looked confused “She is racing so she would lose.”

AJ laughed “No, she is racing because firefly is everything Rainbow dash wants to be. Firefly 1,000 years ago started the wonder Bolts and is a Pegasus legend. So to go up against a pony like that is a dream come true to Rainbow dash.”

“She is that firefly, what am I doing here? I have to get her autograph.” Scootaloo flew off.

“Why don’t we clean up and go to the Castle?” AJ asked.

“You got it Sis.” Apple Bloom exclaimed.

Right then Pinkie was playing tag with the Merponies.

Rarity was getting ready to have lunch when Sweetie Belle came in with Rosebud. “I was about to have a little lunch why don’t you join me.”

“I would love some lunch thank you.” Rosebud said.

“Yes thanks you.” Sweetie belle said.

“Rarity, Twilight would like everyone to come in an hour so she can cast the spell to walk on the Clouds.” Sweetie Belle said.

“Thank you Sweetie Belle.” Rarity said.

They ate I lovely green salad, and some well prepared and delicious seaweed wraps.

“I see you traded recipes with the Merponies.” Rosebud said

Rarity said “Yes I did, they served me this when I went to see the princess of the Merponies. And I loved it. So I got the recipe. I hope it is to your taste.”

“I always love what the Merponies serve me when I visit.” Rosebud said. Rosebud looked around and asked “How do you like my new boutique?”

Sweetie Belle and Rosebud just sat there and listen to Rarity go on and on about her boutique for the next Half an hour. Then Rarity said “Well, look at the time we should be getting to the castle.”

When they got there they see everyone but pinkie. Twilight read the look in her face and said “I already cast it in Pinkie. I bet her will meet us there. We all know Pinkie wouldn’t miss this.”

They all nodded and got together and Twilight cast the spell.

About that time Pinkie was eating lunch with the Merponies.

When the balloon landed in Kingdom of Mystical Mountains Rarity was that first out followed my Sweetie Belle and Nyx. And then that rest.

“Good, I can stand on clouds” Nyx said jumping around.

“Nyx, you are an Alicorn, so it makes sense you can walk on clouds.” Sweetie Belle said.

“Yeah, but this is the first time I did it. I was worried.” Nyx said. Nyx wasn’t looking where she was going and she bumped into another Pony. Nyx turn to look at the other pony “I am sorry, wait aren’t you Soarin from the Wonder bolts.”

“Soarin, we should find seats soon or we wouldn’t be able to see the race that will.” Spitfire said as she turned. Then she saw Twilight and Nyx. She bowed and said “Princess Twilight and Nyx, Princess Celestia sent us to be your guards.”

Shooting Star looked at them and said “So you flew up here to see Firefly in person before reporting in.”

“If you want I can make it so you could join the race.” Twilight said.

They really want to race their hero but Soarin said “We got ordered by Princess Celestia to Guard the Princesses.”

Shooting Star whimpered in Twilight’s ear “This is Celestia playing with them. She knows they want to race Firefly and you will offer it to them.”

Then Shooting Star looks at the rest of the ponies and said “you should go to your seat twilight, Nyx, and I have to put on our crowns and enter like the prince and princesses we are.”

“Do I have to wear a crown; it is so embarrassing to be a Princess.” Nyx complained.

Twilight smiled “you will live through it. And you get the best sit in the home. So it isn’t all bad.”

Shooting Star then said “Soarin and spitfire you are going to be in the race. As one of Rulers of this land I order you to race. Tell Firefly and Rainbow Dash Prince Shooting Star said that you are racing.”

With that they ran off. When they got to the pits they saw Rainbow Dash and Firefly stretching. And spitfire walked up to Rainbow dash and said “You are one of the luckiest ponies I know. You are racing Firefly and now us. Prince Shooting Star told us to join this race.”

Rainbow Dash looked at Firefly. They nodded, Then she looked back at Spitfire and said “Shooting Star did. I should thank him later.”

“Who are they?” Firefly asked.

“They are Wonder bolts.” Rainbow dash answered.

“The group of show off I started all those years ago, they is still going?” Firefly asked.

“Yes they are still going and I would love to be one of them someday.” Rainbow Dash said.

“Is that all? Ok I will start wonder bolt group here and you can be one of them.” Firefly said.

Spitfire and Soarin can’t believe what just happen. The starter of the wonder bolts just started a new branch of the wonder bolts.

Then Spitfire laughed “She can do as she pleases. What on this course I am should I watch out for.”

Firefly laughed and said “Everything, the wind change without warning. There is hair pin turns and… What is wrong with you? Are you are getting excited hearing this?”

Spitfire said. “Yes I am getting excited, it is a hard course and I get to race you and Rainbow Dash. I wanted to Race Rainbow Dash ever since she saved us at the young flyer Competition. Then at the Wonder bolts Academy she stood up to me and I wanted to put her down a few pegs. Then there is the fact she is racing you the first wonder bolt. You are in all type of Pegasus bedtime stories. The whole time growing up I wanted to be you.”

Firefly said “Don’t get too depress when you lose ok. This is the course I learn to fly on, so I do know this course like the back of my hove.”

Spitfire smile and said “Well, we’ll just have to see who is going to stand in the winner’s circle.”

Firefly smiles and whispers something in Rainbow Dash’s ear and they both smile.

Main group of ponies got to their seats and Pinkie is there and asked “Where have you been? I have been waiting forever for you ponies.”

Scootaloo is holding a piece of paper with a big grin.

Apple bloom asks “Scootaloo, I see you got your autograph?”

Scootaloo smiled and nodded.

“Thank you Rarity for letting us came with you. This is the first time you took us with you on a trip.” Sweetie belle said.

“This was Shooting Star and Twilight’s idea. Nyx was coming, and they thought you would enjoy this too.” Rarity said.

“Who do you think will win? I think it will be Rainbow Dash; it has to be Rainbow Dash. Rainbow Dash is the best.” Pinkie pie said.

Medley said. “Hello girls, this is going to be a fine race.”

Sweetie Belle ask “Medley, what are you doing here?”

Medley said “I am here to deliver those pies. I heard the Soarin like to eat pie after a race.”

Sweetie Belle Said “That makes sense.”

Apple Bloom said “Isn’t it crazy that Soarin and Spitfire is here. And that Celestia sent them to Guard Twilight.”

Apple Jake said “I heard that Celestia make all the wonder bots Guards when she got back. She thinks that we would need more guards now. Something about there are need for more guards now.”

The trumpets blow and Announcer said, “Their Royal highnesses Prince Shooting star, Princess Twilight Sparkle, and Vice Ruler of the night Princess Nyx”

Pinkie Pie said “Look there comes Twilight, Nyx and Shooting Star.”

Sweetie Belle said. “They really look like a beautiful princesses dress like that.”

Announcer said “All racers take your places.”

AJ Said “look like the race is going to start.”

All the ponies lean forward. A Pegasus with a flag is sitting on a cloud. And she lower the flag and they are off. Firefly and Rainbow dash took the lead and everyone knows the race is going to be between them. They went in to the wind tunnel and firefly took the lead but Rainbow dash took the lead in the next turn. They push each other to supersonic speeds. And as they cross the finish line the winner wasn’t clear. So they went to the magic video and after a long wait. Then a voice came over the speakers.

Announcer said “It was very close but the winner is……. Firefly.”

Every pony cheered well every pony but Spitfire.

Spitfire asked “how could I lose so badly? They cross the line before I was half way done. The wind change so much and was so strong. But they flew like there was no wind. What do you think of this Soarin?”

Medley said “Soarin, I have this pie for you.”

Soarin screams “PIE!!!!”

Spitfire said “I guess that answer my question.”

Spitfire flew away to sulk.

Lighting hooves asked “Dang boy, are you part pig?”

Soarin said “You bet. Medley can I have another pie.”

All the main Ponies found Rainbow Dash sitting alone.

Twilight said “I am sorry Rainbow Dash that you didn’t win.”

Rainbow Dash jump up and said “That was so awesome. Firefly was just like all the stories said that she is. I can’t wait to race her again.”

Firefly said “I can’t wait to race you again either. We have to do it again.”

Medley asked “Could I join in this next race?”

Firefly said “No, I am never racing you again.”

Medley looked sad. “Ok if you said so?”

Rainbow dash asked “Why can’t she race.”

Firefly said “We went flight school together and were roommates. I haven’t yet won her in a race.”

Pinkie pie said “You know what this calls for…. A party!!!!!”

All the ponies had a party. Even Soarin join in. Rainbow Dash went to look for Spitfire. And Rainbow Dash finds her still sulking in the garden.

Rainbow dash said “I am mad at you. It wasn’t fair for you to think you could have won; firefly and I were going through the course all day long, we looked for ways to cut time off our laps.”

Spitfire said “I understand that but to be blown away like that is painful. But I guess that is what you get from training with a legend. And that is also painful. Why couldn’t it been me that she trained. And she made a branch of the wonder bolts for you. I guess that is fine because I get to race you on the courses I know well. And I get to do that course again.”

Rainbow dash said “Yes and I will win you on all those courses too.”

Spitfire said “It was cool seeing the legend in action.”

Rainbow Dash said “yes that was awesome. Well if we don’t go back to the party they will wonder where we are.”

Spitfire said “Then we should get back there.”

They went back and party the rest of the night.

Chapter 6 : A Royal Ball

Chapter 6 : A Royal Ball

Chapter 6: A Royal Ball

Soarin Walked out of his room found Twilight walking down the hall talking with Forget-me-not.

Soarin thought to his self “I have two questions. One, how can she party like that and still be this energetic. And two, what is that small flying pony. But Before I get those answers I need to find food.

Soarin saw a maid as she walked by. ”Excuse me where would I find some food around here.”

Dusty Smiled “I would try the Kitchen. Go down this hall to the end. Then you take a left. Part way down the hall there will be stairs on right, and go down the stairs to the first floor. You would be in the Dining hall the kitchen would be on your Right

Soarin Said “thank you.”

The maid Bowed then walked away.

Then Soarin started to go down the hall to find Spitfire as she walked out of her room. The same tired look on her face as Soarin. “Good morning Spitfire.”

Spitfire yawned “oh hi Soarin, good morning.”

Soarin said “I was about to get breakfast would you like to join me.”

Spitfire smiled “that sounds great. So lead the way.”

They found their way to the kitchen. The Chef Smiled as they went into the kitchen, “so you are the two new Guards Celestia sent. You aren’t much to look at. So what can I get you?”

Soarin was waiting to hear that question. “You might need a pen and paper for my order.”

The Chef took control and said “Ok boy I will give you a large stack of Pancakes, Muffins, and Apple Juice. If you need more food than that come back. What will you have dear?”

Spitfire ordered “could I have a Large Stack of Pancakes and orange juice?”

“Of course you can. You two take a sit in the dining hall I will have some pony bring it out when it is done.” The Chef said before she assigned the orders to cooks.

Spitfire said “there is something very odd about the ponies here. They party all night and not acting tried.”

“Yes I agree it is like they are super ponies.” Soarin said

Spitfire smiled “yes, that is it. They are super ponies. They Party all night and betting us in a race. It all makes sense now. ”

Then they heard a small voice “I don’t feel like a super pony, do I look like one.” They turn to see a Fairy pony standing on the table.

Soarin look at it and asked “who are you, what are you.”

The Fairy pony smiles sweetly and said “I am morning glory and I am a fairy pony. I hear there are some new ponies here. Are you them?”

Spitfire laughed “yes we are. It is great to meet you Morning glory.”

Morning Glory smiled “no it is my pleasure to meet you. Please don’t find me rude but I have to take care of the garden so I have to leave.”

Spitfire smiled “then you should go, and have a good day”

Morning glory bowed “thank you, you have a good day too.” and with that she left.

Spitfire smiled “What a nice little pony, she made my day a little better.”

After that they ate then put on their armor, and went to the throne room. When they got there they find that all the Princesses were there with a group of unicorn guards.

Celestia looked at them with a knowing smile. “How did you like the race yesterday?”

Spitfire avoided eye contact “It was alright I guess.” And they went to take their place as Twilight’s guards.

Then Shooting Star walks in with Firefly and Rainbow Dash in Royal Pegasus Guard Armor. Firefly wear the Armor of a Colonel and Rainbow Dash wear a huge smile.

Twilight asked “So Rainbow Dash what with the Armor.”

Rainbow Dash smiled “Shooting star and Firefly said they need more guards today and I would be perfect. And Shining Armor agreed. And here I am. Don’t I look awesome in Armor?”

Nyx ran over “you look so cool, Scootaloo would love to see you like this.”

Twilight looked at all three ponies that talked Rainbow into this, and they are avoided eye contact. One of the Guards Celestia said something under his breath. Shooting Star and Shining Armor both walked up to him and stared down the guard.

Shining Armor asked the guard “what is wrong with her being a guard.”

Shooting star added “can’t I choose my own guards.”

The guard backed away “sorry sirs, I didn’t mean to apply that.”

Then they turned and smiled at each other as they walked away.

Celestia asked “Rainbow Dash how did you like Yesterday’s race.”

Rainbow Dash beamed “it was the best race ever!”

Celestia smiled “I also heard you are now a wonderbolt.”

Rainbow Dash shakes with excitement “I still can’t believe it, and Firefly will teach me some new tricks.”

Celestia smiles and say “when I told the wonder bolts that there will be a branch with Firefly as its leader they all want to be part of it.”

Shooting Star said “You will talk to them in person in a little bit Rainbow Dash, just try not to act too excited. You are Firefly second in the Wonder bolts now.”

Spitfire said “when I met you the first time I knew you would be a wonder bolt someday; I am a bit jealous you’re not serving under me.”

Medley walked up and handed Rainbow Dash her helmet and said “don’t forget this.”

Rainbow dash smiled “ok, Medley”

Firefly starts to laugh until Medley handed Firefly her helmet.

Firefly bashfully said “thanks Medley.”

Celestia said “We should get going, important ponies are waiting.”

Then they all walked through the portal to Canterlot. They spent most of the day in meetings and handling matter of the state. They talked to the senate and the royal court of each kingdom. Then they talked with reporters from each paper. Finally they had meetings about unified policies on laws and enforcement, and trade. The day was boring and drawn out but it needed to get done. After the said meeting they had a late lunch.

Shooting star said “if any pony knew that ruling means that you have to sit in boring long meeting and argue with ponies that don’t know what they are talking about, nopony would want to rule.”

Twilight said “I am sure it will get better as time go on.”

All the other ponies looked at her and remember when they believed that.

Cadence put her wing over Twilight “Twilight I will be nicer to you than Celestia was to me. This is your honeymoon period where everything is at its best. From here on it will only get worst. But don’t get me wrong, this is the most meeting I have had in one day.”

Shooting star said “well because we’re new to the nobles of the kingdoms they didn’t know what to expect. So Celestia use us to get a unified policy approved. I would have done the same if I was her.”

Celestia added “the nobles can be a bit… difficult at times. So sometimes you need to use tricks to point them in the right direction. And we needed to take care of matters while we are all here.”

Shooting star asked “what are we doing after we are done here?”

Celestia looked at her list “it looks like we are giving awards to the ponies that act heroically after the change of the land.”

Shooting star smiled “Finally we get to do the fun part. It is always nice to give awards. What’s after that a meet and greet with the Royal Guards.”

Celestia nodded and smiled “that is right. And after that we have free time before the ball tonight.”

Shooting star hugged Celestia “I love you sister. You put my three favorite activities right after each other.”

Then after they finished lunch they had Nyx give the awards. Then they met the guards. Finally they rested in the royal quarters. All the royal ponies were lying on oversized cushions that were sat around the Royal Quarters.

Cadence kicked off her shoes and said “I am so glad to get off my feet. I don’t know about you but I will take a long soak in the bath.”

Celestia sighed “I will get a full body massage.”

Twilight pulled out a book “I will finish this book I am reading.”

Luna said “I think I would play Wonder bots racing 3, I got it yesterday and haven’t got to play it yet.”

Nyx ran over to Luna “can I play with you.” Luna just levitated a controller over to her and smiled.

Shooting Star smiled “I think I will take a shower and take a nip. Maybe I will even play a game of chess.”

Shining Armor said “a shower and a nip sound great for me also.”

The Royal Ponies spent the rest of the last afternoon and early evening resting and getting ready for the ball.

Shooting Star and twilight is waiting outside of the ballroom. Shooting Star looks over at Twilight. “That dress looks good on you, Princess.” As he said it he did a little bow and wink at her. Twilight smile even if it was a bit dorky, it made her feel good.

Twilight looked at Shooting Star “you don’t look that bad in that tux either.”

Shooting Star laughed “I can make anything look good.”

Twilight smile “I never said you look good I said you don’t look that bad.”

Shooting star put on a charming smile “we both know you think I am sexy. I saw how you were looking at my flank earlier.”

Twilight hit Shooting Star in the back of the head “well we are next to be introduced in the ball.”

Celestia was at the bottom of the stairs as she introduced the Royal ponies to the room. “Let me introduce my long absent Brother Prince Shooting Star and my beloved Student Princess Twilight Sparkle the Rulers of the southern island of Equestria.”

When shooting Star and Twilight reach the bottom of the stairs Celestia thank the ponies for their time and went to talk with the noble ponies.

Fancy pants walked up with Nyx to Shooting Star “Fancy Pants, this is Shooting Star. Shooting Star, this is Fancy Pants.

Fancy Pants shook hooves with Shooting Star. “It is an honor to meet you Prince shooting Star. I have always been fascinated by the Stories about you.”

“I am glad my stories amused you.” Shooting Star said.

“I read about how you helped every pony after the Discord event 1000 years ago.” Fancy pants said

“Yes I did what I could to help. But there were some ponies that did what they can to take advantage of other ponies.” Shooting Star

Prince Blueblood walked up “what is wrong with looking out for one’s self?”

Shooting star answered “nothing is wrong with it if you don’t hurt anypony as a result.”

Prince Blueblood laughed “Ah ah that is funny; you can’t get far in life without stepping on those below you.”

Shooting star smiled “I got to be a ruler of Equestria without stepping on those below me.”

Prince Blueblood acted cocky “you are a ruler because your sister appointed you as one.”

Nyx’s horn started to glow Shooting Star looked at her and shook his head and Nyx stopped.

Shooting star “I see you haven’t read the history of this land. I was the great Military leader that kept the different types of ponies from fight with each other. I was a ruler before you’re your 45 X great grandfather was born. I was appointed by no one. I earned everything I have.”

Prince Blueblood argued “if you were so great how come you were trapped in a curse all those years.”

Nyx said “he wasn’t. He was looking for an answer to a problem that endangered all of Equestria.”

Prince Blueblood said “this doesn’t prove that you should me a ruler of Equestria.”

Shooting star asked “I get the feeling you think you should be a leader?”

Prince Blueblood said “my Family is the older noble family in Equestria.”

Shooting Star asked “Did your family restore order, and rebuilt all the towns in Equestria after Discord was gone?”

Prince Blueblood said “no but you didn’t do that.”

Celestia walked up “yes he did. He was out there every day building new houses and planting food. He worked harder than any other pony. He was loved by the ponies and hated by the nobles.”

Prince Blueblood said “well auntie, you should have made me a ruler. I am so much better than him.”

Celestia said “Prince Blueblood no one would respect you. You are an idiot. And you prove it by picking a fight with Shooting Star. He still could order the guards to kill you and they would.”

Prince Blueblood said “they wouldn’t. I am a noble.”

Firefly landed next to Shooting Star “Shooting Star, would you like us take him to jail.” As she says that a large group of guards fly and walk up.

Celestia smiled “I think you should go home. It looks like you overstay your welcome.”

Prince Blueblood asked “shouldn’t you tell them to stay away.”

Celestia explained “well since Shooting Star is back the guards are under his control. He did start them and I never took them over. I was just keeping an eye on them for him.”

Prince Blueblood begged “Shooting star helps me.”

Shooting Star ordered ”Firefly would you help Prince Blueblood find the door.”

Firefly smiled and the guards grabbed Prince Blueblood and take him to the door.

Shooting star asked “is his Name Prince or is it his Title?”

Celestia answered “it is his name. Don’t worry, we are not related.

Shooting star sighed “that is a relief. Twilight do you want some punch”

Twilight bowed “that would be great, thank you My Dear Prince.”

Celestia added “some punch would be delightful.”

Shooting Star smiled “Wait here and I will get some punch for you.”

“I will help.” Fancy pants offered.

Shooting Star and Fancy pants went to the punch bowl.

Celestia asked “how is it working with my brother?”

Twilight replied “he is great to work with. But I feel he take it too easy. He seems too laid back about his work.”

Celestia knowing she is guilty of ponies viewing her the same way. “He has been doing it for over 1000 years. He might have been doing it so long that it looks as he is laid back. When he is just comfortable doing it.”

Twilight smile “I guess so.”

Shooting star walked up levitating the drinks. “Well Fancy pants got swarmed by ponies and couldn’t get away.”

Twilight smile “That is too bad.” Twilight enjoyed Fancy Pants but she rather talk with ponies she knew better.

Shooting Star smile “Should we mingle a bit. We are the royal family and we should grace them with our presence.”

Celestia Smile “yes there are so many ponies asking about you Twilight.” With that Celestia took Twilight to meet them.

Shooting Star was Left with Nyx and four cups of punch “would you like some Punch my Dear Princess Nyx.”

Nyx Bowed and said “I would be honored Dear Prince Shooting Star.” Then they both laugh.

They drank some punch. Looking around the room “I am not looking forward to talking to any of those ponies.” Shooting Star said taking another Drink of punch.

“Well they still see me as Nightmare Moon, so I think I will go and spend the rest of the night with Rainbow Dash and Firefly.” Nyx said as she took a drink of Punch.

Shooting Star doesn’t blame her for wanting to do that. “I wish I could join you. But I have to do my Royal Duty to smile and portend I want to talk to Stuff Shirts and Bores.”

“Have fun with that.” With that Nyx ran off.

Through the rest of the night Twilight kept watching Shooting Star. She didn’t mean to but her eyes kept going to him. Toward the end of the night Twilight saw Shooting star went outside and she wondered where he was going. So she followed him and he went out into the garden and talked with Luna. Luna laughed and push Shooting star.

Cadence walked up to Twilight as she watched them. Cadence Laughed and said “Isn’t it great to see Luna Smile like that. Remind me of how you smile when you talk with your brother. I will tell you this, I am jealous of you and Luna. You two have brothers that you can smile and joke with. Shooting star smiles and you can see he tries to make every pony feel special. He is like your brother in that way. So don’t fall for him too fast, your brother isn’t ready to lose you yet.”

Twilight blushed and said “We are not like that, we are just friends.”

Cadence laughed “it looks like it is too late” Twilight got on her hind legs and started to kicking at Cadence. Cadence ran away and Twilight ran after her. Shooting and Luna laughed at them until they heard a Noble Unicorn Pony said “it is disgraceful how they are acting. I am glad they are not our Princesses.”

Shooting Star walk up to him with his wings up and said “I think it is wonderful that they could let themselves go and enjoy themselves like that.”

Luna is behind Shooting star with her wings up “I agree with my Brother. There is nothing disgraceful about how my niece and my friend Twilight’s actions.”

The noble unicorns bow and walk away. Celestia walks up and said “it is good to see you still stand up for those you like. But you grow up since 1000 year ago. I know you didn’t want to come because you brought Rainbow Dash and Firefly. By the way great chooses.”

Shooting Star sighed “Yes, I didn’t want to come. I don’t like how we were back then, and I was afraid if I came here we would start to act the way we were back then.”

Celestia asked “Was I that bad back then?”

Shooting Star smile “worst!!”

They Smiled then watch Twilight and Cadence play. The Rest of the ball was uneventful. After the ball All the Royal Ponies were in the Royal Quarters. Nyx was happily sleeping next to Celestia on an oversized Cushion. All the other Ponies were sat on their own cushion chatting about the Ball and the day.

Twilight looked at the Clock and said “it is getting late; we should go back Nyx should Sleep in her own Bed and I want to get Back to my research.”

Celestia didn’t want it to end, but it is getting late. “I should get to bed also. Twilight and Shooting Star and also Shining Armor and Cadence we need to do this again. I had fun.”

All the ponies agreed, hugged, and said their “goodbyes.” Twilight put the Sleeping Nyx on her back. Then Shooting Star, Twilight, Nyx, Firefly and Rainbow Dash went home. When they got back Twilight hand Nyx over to Nurse’s Corners and Shooting Star when to get a late night snack.

Rainbow Dash Looked out the window and said “we should go on a late night flight, it feels good to have the night air under your wings.

Firefly smile and said “great idea, twilight you’re coming and we will not take no as an answer.”

So twilight agreed. There is no way they would let her off. Rainbow Dash alone made it impossible but Firefly was more powerful being the head of the guard. So they went for a flight.

Chapter 7: End of Voldermare

Chapter 7: The End of Voldermare

The next day Twilight walked into the throne room, and saw Medley and Firefly talking with Shooting Star.

Twilight asked “what is going on here?”

Shooting Star Said “we are doing a guards and maids exchange with Canterlot”

Twilight asked “Why wasn’t I informed?”

Shooting star answered “because it is something that just got decided this morning.”

Twilight said “you know we should discuss things like this. We are be Co-ruling this place.”

Shooting Star said “I didn’t want to wake you. You looked so happy asleep. By the way do you know you, you talk and use magic in your sleep.

Twilight blushed “spike told me that. Ok what have you decided?”

Shooting Star smiled “I decided to leave it up to those two to make a list for us to look over.”

Twilight sighed and said “so you’re pawning it off on them to decide.”

Shooting Star smile “you could look at it what way. Or you could look at it as I trust them, and feel they know their ponies better than I do. And so they would make the best decision. We don’t have time to decide everything that goes on in our land, so we need to trust the ones under us to decide what is best in their sphere of responsibility. But everything that happens here are our fault so we will look over the list before sending it. I don’t think your maid spic and span or your daughter’s maid nurse’s corners would be part of the exchange. ”

Twilight said “I not worry about Spin and Span going on the exchange. But that isn’t why I came in there to talk with you. I was looking in a magic book late last night and I find something I think it would fix one of our problems.”

“I would like to see this” Shooting Star said.

Twilight and Shooting Star walked to the library. Twilight opened an old heavy Magic book. “From what the book said there was once ring of transportation system from here to the crystal empire. I don’t see why there couldn’t be one from here to Canterlot also. That way we could travel back and forth from there.”

Shooting star said “That is a good idea; I know Rarity for one would love to be able to trade her goods with Canterlot again. And it looks like any Unicorn can open it with the right spell, so we could also have tourism too. Let talk it over with Celestia, Luna and Cadence.

Day 7 start with Celestia, Luna, Shining Armor, and Cadence Coming with a group of important Ponies for the Moon Festival. After greeting them Twilight went to a window that looked out on the city. She was checking up on the Fair that was going on in the City.

Cadence walked up and put her wing over Twilight. “Are you alright?

“Cadence, I don’t know if it is a good idea to have a fair with what will happen today” Twilight confided to Cadence

Cadence smiled “Twilight, this isn’t the first time you had a fair with evil knocking at the door.”

Twilight smiled “yeah, but this time I am in charge. I am responsible if anything goes wrong.”

“Twilight, are you saying if things didn’t work out back then you would abandoned me?” Cadence teased.

Twilight moved from under Cadence’s wing and looked her in the eyes “no, no I wouldn’t do anything like that. You are my Cadence; I would go to the pits of Tartarus for you.”

Cadence Smiled and moved around so she was standing next to Twilight. While she put her wing back over Twilight she said “I know that, so this time isn’t any different than back them.”

Twilight lay her head on Cadence’s shoulder and think how she is grateful that her old foal sitter is here.

Cadence looked around and asked “Where is Nyx?”

Twilight smiled “Nyx is playing in the fair with her friends.”

“How nice, but I wanted to spend some time with her.” Cadence said

Twilight smiled knowing how much Cadence like Nyx. Nyx is her favorite Niece. “Well, I am sure she will find time to play with you. She loves spending time with you.”

Cadence nodded “of course.” She lifted her wing off Twilight and looked at all the other ponies “should we get going.”

Twilight nodded “the sooner we start the sooner we finish.”

They walked over to the rest of the ponies. The rest of the day Twilight and Shooting Star played host and hostess to their guests.

As the night got close to midnight Shooting Star gathered his forces. “It is all ready now, you five should get ready.”

Rainbow dash said “Twilight? Get ready for what?”

Twilight put on a cheesy smile she knew her friends won’t like this, and that might be the reason she hasn’t told them until now. “Well, to use the Elements of Harmony, after me and shooting star release a great Evil by doing the ritual of the ruler ship.”

Rarity grabbed Twilight “you are going to release a great evil…. why?”

Twilight said “If we don’t we could never go back to Equestria.”

Fluttershy said in a soft voice “I wouldn’t mind staying here if it means you’re safe.”

Twilight assured her friends. “Celestia, Luna, Cadence, Shining Armor and Shooting star will protect us. So we will be safe. And I am not just doing this just for us but for all the ponies that live here in this land.”

Rarity Said “We understand now that you thought it through and you will do it if we like it or not. I just wish I could make you a dress for this ritual of the ruler ship thing.”

AJ put her hove on Twilight’s Shoulder. “Sugar cube, just tell us what to do.”

All her friends smiled and nodded. Twilight ran to her friend and hugged them.

Shooting Star said “I hate to break up this love fest, but it’s time for us to get started”

They stood in front of a Dark glowing boulder; each different pony leader pledge their loyalty to Twilight and Shooting star. Then Twilight and shooting star pledge to rule fairly. As they finish a dark Shadow come from the boulder and took the form of a young Unicorn mare.

Voldermare glared to Shooting Star and Twilight “you foolish ponies, you think you can take this land from me.” Voldermare lite her horn and dark Clouds rolled in. “you will have to defeat me to have this land, and I cannot be defeated that easy; as the last pony found out. “

Shooting star smile, Raise his Wings a lit his horn. “She tried it alone but we are together in this one. You’re no match for all of us.”

Voldermare ran at straight at Shooting star and Twilight. “Then I will have to take you down one by one.” Celestia, Luna, Cadance, and Shining Armor used their power to hold her, and then the six Friend use the Elements of Harmony against the Voldermare. A rainbow snaked toward Voldermare; she fought to get free as it came closer. As it hit her a bright light illuminated the city square. All you can hear is the screams of a pony in pain. As the light faded all that was left of the once evil pony was a small Crystal that Shooting Star picked it up. All the ponies cheered, well all but Luna. She walked off to get some air. She remembers the pain of getting turned back to herself. And she didn’t wish it on any pony Evil or not. But it had to be done.

Celestia walked up and put her wing over his sister and said “Luna, you can cry if you want.”

Luna looked over with tears in her eyes and said “no, I cannot. I have to be strong like you and Shooting Star.”

“I Cry sometimes. Like when I was force to seal you on the moon. Strength isn’t about not crying; it is about what you do after you stop crying.” Celestia said.

Luna laid her head against Celestia and cried.

Cadence and Shining were talking when Cadence felt a small hove on her leg. She looked back and saw Nyx. “That was so Cool what you guys did!”

Cadence scolded Nyx “you know you shouldn’t be here. It isn’t safe.”

“I was worried about you and my mom.” Nyx said looking at her hooves.

Cadence knew she couldn’t stay mad at Nyx. “I guess it is fine now, but you better not do something like this again.” Cadence thought this is perfect “Nyx I am free now, do you want to play around at the Fair with me?”

Nyx smiled she haven’t played with Cadence ever. Every time she saw Cadence she was busy with royal business. “You mean it. We can play together!”

Cadence smiled she didn’t think Nyx would be this excited. “Yes, I mean it.”

Nyx bounced “ok there are so many places I would like to show you.”

Shining Armor asked “should I come?”

Nyx frowned. Cadence said “this is going to be girl time with my favorite Niece.”

Shining Armor felt all alone. Twilight went to get ice cream with Shooting Star, Celestia and Luna went to look around the Fair and Cadence left with Nyx. He had no one to go around the fair with so he went back to the castle. When Cadence came back to the castle she found Shining Armor passed out in the dining hall with pie on his face and he was lying next to a stack of pie plates.

Later that night the Moon was in the middle of the sky and the streets of the city glowed as the moons power flowed to the Boulder. When the light faded and the Boulder shined brightly, Luna stood in front of all the ponies and proclaimed “the Moon have given its power to us.” There was a cheer from all over the City.

Celestia, Cadence and Shining Armor had business back home so went back to their Castles, while Luna stayed the night.

Chapter 8: Cadence's Surprise

Chapter 8: Cadence’s Surprise.

Day 8; for days now Twilight has been working on a presentation for the princesses of Equestria on her downtime. Celestia showed up with the Leaders from every city in Equestria.

Twilight feel uneasy and said “why are all of leaders of Equestria here?”

Shooting star said “Celestia wants to show all of Equestria how wonderful this place is. And it would be good for tourism. She also thinks it would be good for you to do your presentation to all the leaders of Equestria.

Nyx and All of Twilight’s friends walked in and started showing the Leader to the ballroom. Rarity walked over and said “Twilight, You will look fabulous in your new Clothes.

Twilight looked around and asked “am I the only pony that didn’t know they were coming?”

Rarity said “We didn’t want to bother you with this; you have to get your presentation ready.”

Twilight warned “I am going to drop it for now, but later on we are going to have a long talk about this shooting star.”

Shooting star Look at the clock and said “It is about time. Celestia is waiting”

Twilight walked into the ballroom and looked around. She took a deep breath and started. “Thank you for coming. I am here to discuss how we can open trade between the three main Capitals of Equestria. And how we would do this is Rings of Transportation. I read in a book there was once rings of transportation between here and the Crystal Empire. I believe with the magic Formula shown on the screen behind me we can make them between Canterlot also by using the Fountains of Canterlot as a power source. If I am right any trained unicorn can use it to send ponies from one Kingdom to the other. Any of you have any questions.”

Celestia asked “How would it be managed?”

Twilight Answered “We would teach one Unicorn to maintain and activate the ring. And that would be there job. And we would schedule times once a day to travel from one place to the other. That way we wouldn’t waste the power.”

Mayor Strong hove of Manehatten asked “could we have one setup in our town. We could use that do move goods.”

Twilight said “Sorry Mayor Strong hove. The power needed is too much for any normal town to maintain. Do you have any more Questions?

Every leader there looked around. Twilight then said “Well thank you for your time.”

Then Shooting star got up and spoke “We will now divide into groups to tour this city. Here are your tour guides. The budding designer Rarity, the leader of the Fairy ponies Princess Rosebud, the leader of the pegasi of the Mystical Mountains Lighting Hooves, and the leader of the high unicorns Princess Galaxy.

Then the leaders got shown around Ponyville. The Merponies put on a little Show. Pinkie and AJ made lunch. Then the Wonder bolts did a show for them. The Leaders left Everfree with smiles on their faces talking about returning soon with their family to swim in the sea.

Celestia put her wing over twilight and pulled her close “Twilight you did wonderfully. I will have Luna will help you tomorrow with setup of the rings.”

Twilight looked confused “don’t you need to talk it over with Luna and Cadence?”

“We already decided to do it when you mention it. This was just a formality.” Celestia grinned. Then Celestia left.

Twilight turned to talk to Shooting Star and her friends about the fact they didn’t tell her about the Leaders coming. But no one was there. “Shooting star, Firefly, Medley, you know when I see you I am still going to have a long talk with you.” Twilight yelled

Day 9 found twilight setting up her side of the Ring of transportation with Canterlot. When they finish it Luna transported over.

Luna Smiled, and said “it seems to works. I hope Cadence is ready to set up her Ring of transportation.”

Twilight agreed “Me too.”

Then Cadence opened a portal to Everfree and said “Twilight how do we do this.”

Twilight said “I will walk you through it.”

When it was done Cadence use her Ring of transportation to get to Everfree. The 6 main mares, Luna, Nyx, CMC, and Cadence all had Lunch together. They laughed and talked.

Then Cadence got nervous. “Twilight I have something to tell you.”

Twilight asked “what is wrong. I would help anyway I could.”

Cadence laughed “nothing is wrong; on the centaury I have something great to tell you. I am pregnant. You are going to be an aunt.”

Twilight stood there with a huge smile on her face. As all the other ponies talk excitedly. After a minute Twilight finally yelled “I AM GOING TO BE AN AUNT.”

Cadence laughed “Shining Armor acted about the some but he hugs everyone in the castle saying I am going to be a father.”

Rarity said “give her time I am sure she is going to do the same thing.”

Out of nowhere she start hugged every pony she saw and said. “I am going to be an Aunt.”

Shooting Star and Firefly watch this and Firefly handed over some bits to Shooting star and said “how did you know?” Shooting star said “medley told me.”

Firefly frowned “that is low using Medley like that.”

“you’re just mad you didn’t think of it first.”

“Maybe.” Then Firefly flew off.

After Twilight calm down, she sent the princesses home. Then Twilight went to tell Mayor Mare that the Ring of transportations is done.

Mayor Mare said as twilight walks in “your highness what can I do for you?”

Twilight said “we now have a way to move every pony that wants to leave to other cities.”

Mayor Mare smile and said “that is good to hear and it was faster than I thought it would take. I will tell all the other ponies soon.”

Twilight said “Thank you.”

Then she left the office. Than Twilight met up with spike and talk about all the happen since they got there and now little over a week after getting here there is a way for any pony to travel off and on this Island.

Twilight said “There so much that has happen since we got here. I hardly had time to catch my breath. Our lives have change forever. And it feels right for some reason. And now that I finished the Ring of transportation ponies can travel freely.

Spike said “yes, I wonder how many of our friends will leave, after all they were forced to come here and now they can leave if they want.”

Twilight start to feel lonely and said “you are right. They can leave if they want, and as their friend I will help them leave if that is what they want.” She smiles to try to hide the pain she feels.

All the Ponies in Ponyville are at the Town hall Twilight and Shooting Star is standing behind Mayor Mare. Mayor Mare Started on her speech. “Thank you all for coming. Princess Twilight Sparkle has some things to say and then she will be taking Questions. Princess”

Twilight Stood up and address the ponies “Thank you Mayor Mare. I would like to inform you that we finish a way to travel to the mainland. Princess Luna and I just this morning finish making a ring of transportation. With it all of you ponies that wish to leave can do so, tomorrow Morning I will send any pony that want to leave to Canterlot. where you will be able to find a new town to live in. I will now to taking your Questions.”

One pony raised her hove and Twilight said “yes you there.”

Berry Punch asked “is there a way for me to send a letter to my mother in Manehatten.”

Twilight said “I see no reason I couldn’t send a letter or two with the first group of Ponies, just make sure to have it at the castle by tomorrow morning. Do you have any other questions.”

All the Ponies look around then Twilight Said “if there isn’t any more questions I will call this meeting finish”

After everyone left Twilight went to Sweet Apple acres and talk with big Macintosh.

Twilight asked “Big Macintosh would you be willing to go the Canterlot and get the mail that is being held there for us.”

Big Mac said “eyup.”

She knows that Celestia had all the mail for Ponyville sent there for the time being. Then Twilight spent the rest of the day in the library trying to forget about the sinking feeling that her friends might leave.

On Day 10 Twilight went out to get started with moving ponies. She found many bags of letters to send to Canterlot.

Big Macintosh came to the Ring of transportation later that morning and Twilight asked him. “Big Mac I am glad you brought a big wagon because I have another favor to ask. There are bags of mail at the castle. Could you deliver the bags of mail at the Castle to Canterlot as picking up the mail there? I know I might be asking too much.”

Big Mac said “Twilight, I will do it.”

Twilight smiled “thank you Big Mac. You are a good friend.”

But there was nopony else showed up the whole day. When Big Macintosh came back with the mail from Canterlot all the Ponies in town were happy. They got to hear from Family and Friend on the main land.

Shooting Star walked up behind twilight. “Aren’t you glad none of your pony friends left today?”

Twilight Smile and said “Yes, I am and it looks like there will be a daily mail exchange with Canterlot. The postmasters of here and Canterlot arranged it. The postmaster here told me it was your idea.”

Shooting star said “I thought it would make the ponies here feel better. And it will help them settled in to their new home.”

Twilight smiled “you know what it feel right to call this place home.”

The end.
