//-------------------------------------------------------// Society Of The Alicorns -by Queen Cookie- //-------------------------------------------------------// //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 2 //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 2     "One-hundred years, today." Cookie said, "It always rains."     "The weather team has done it since he disappeared. A reminder, you could say." Stephano sighed, "A reminder of a missing prince, and his devastated family."     "Don't say that." Cookie said, "He'll come home, I know it. You just have to hope-"     "It's one-hundred years." Stephano said, "It wasn't always this way. Things seemed better all those years ago. When you find out who you're meant for, marry them, everything seems perfect. Then, something happens, and your life changes. It comes falling down. Everything you've ever done, everything you've ever done right, seem small compared to that moment. The turning point in your life."     "Stephano, listen to yourself." Cookie said, "Things have been going great, you don't need to dwell on this. He is your family, and I know you miss him. But you need think of the kingdom you rule, also. They need the guidance only you can give. Why do you think you're the ruler? You're the one they saw fit, now you need to show them they chose right."     "How am I supposed to do that?" Stephano asked.     "It's not the first time the sun has been without the moon." Cookie said, "Princess Celestia and Princess Luna. Nobody paid attention to the night, and only cared for the day. Celestia did not notice, until it was too late. In her anger, Luna became Nightmare Moon. Her goals were to make the night last forever. Celestia, knew this would hurt her subjects. Their crops would have no light to grow, it would be freezing out. And so, despite what she wanted, she banished her sister to the moon. For one-thousand years, they were apart. But, Luna returned, and everything was alright. I know, this legend will have a happy ending as well, I can feel it."     "You know just how to make me happy." Stephano said.     "I know you've lost a lot, but Gonzales was under different circumstances." Cookie said, "His return will be different. I don't know if the others even will."     Stephano chuckled a bit, "We've had our differences past, but he was still the same kid who was scared to go to sleep without his big brother there."     "Aw, that's so sweet." Cookie said.     "The way you talk about Gonzales and I, it's like you know first hand what it's like." Stephano said.     "Don't worry about it." Cookie said, "At least, not yet."     "It's hard to see a silver pony on a cloudy day." Stephano said, "It's like searching for something that doesn't exist. Pointless."     "Say that again when he's back." Cookie said, "I thought you weren't giving up hope." She said, looking at something out of the corner of her eye.     "I didn't say that." Stephano said, "I'm just tired of waiting."     "Then hope your waiting won't go on for much longer." Cookie smiled, "There is a light at the end of the tunnel."     "Well, we're in one long god damn tunnel, then." //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 3 //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 3      "Stephano, are you crying?" Cookie asked. She'd rarely ever seen him cry before.      "N-no!" Stephano wiped his tears away, "I-I'm strong, I don't cry. I can't cry, or else the kingdom will-"      "Stephano, crying isn't weakness." Cookie looked him in the eyes, "Crying is exactly what gives us strength. The kingdom will not care if you cry, you have every right to."      Time seemed to stand still then. "We have a meeting with the Crystal Empire tomorrow, and the prince will be staying here overnight. I could have a room prepared, if you wish." Youtube Video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l0WW5DhBut8)      "Yes, tell one of the servants-" Stephano stopped when he realized someone had opened the door. He watched in shock, as a silver alicorn walked into the room.      "Brother." he managed to say, "Gonzales, is that you?"      "Yes, brother, it's me." Gonzales said.      "Jesus Christ! Where have you been? What happened!" Stephano said, "I was so worried. We were so worried."      "Tell me, Stephano, how long has it been?" Gonzales asked.      "Why would you-?" Cookie asked.      "How long has it been? I'm serious." Gonzales asked.      "One-hundred years, today." Stephano said, "One-hundred years since I last saw my little brother."      "One-hundred years?" Gonzales asked in shock, "But, haven't I only been gone a few days?"      "Gonzales, I think I'd know if one-hundred years have passed." Stephano turned to Cookie, "Is something wrong with his memory?"      "Definitely, but it's hard to place a source." Cookie said, "Gonzales, how long has it been since the fall of The Dark King?"      "Uh, one-thousand years, why?" Gonzales asked, "Why is it just you two? Where's Pewds, and Sky, and-"      "Gonzales, where is your memory?" Stephano asked, "It's been three-thousand years since The Dark King's fall, and five-hundred since we've last seen Pewds and the others."      "Please tell me you remember." Cookie said.      "I can't, sorry." Gonzales said.      "You know what this calls for, right?" Stephano asked.      "The Society of the Alicorns." Cookie said, "We'll talk with Prince Edd when he arrives tomorrow."      "We must track down the others." Stephano said, "But I doubt all of them are in good condition." //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 4: Sky, Tom, and Piggeh //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 4: Sky, Tom, and Piggeh Sky      The pegasus mare looked at the goods for sale. Golden things, everywhere. Blonde mane, grey eyes, dark green coat, nothing out of the ordinary. The owner, a pegasus, of this fine cart, however, couldn't help but think she looked familiar.      "Can you tell me what exactly you have for sale?" she asked, "It would be a great help."      "Certainly, ma'am." the owner said, "We got all the golden things you could ask for." He flew into the air, holding several items, "We got golden plates, golden statues, golden spoons, golden knives, golden candleholders, golden bracelets, golden necklaces, butter forks, you name it we got it!"      "Did you say butter?" she asked.      The owner's eyes widened in shock when he realized he had said butter. "oh shit..." he said quietly, "Look, promise you won't tell anyone?"       The mare looked to be considering it, but then looked at him and said, "Nope. Found you, Sky."       "Cookie?" he managed to say, before he was knocked unconscious Tom      A drunk stallion trotted out of the bar. "Hey, you." he said to a nearby stallion, "You look familiar, have I me... met you before, or something?"      "No, I don't think so." the other stallion replied, "What's your name, sir?" Unicorn, red fur, orange mane, brown eyes.      "Now, I'm su-supposed to say Light Speed, but you look tru-trustworthy." the stallion said, "It's... Tom."      "And I'm Edd. Found you." Edd said, as he started dragging the drunk away.      "No... no... I have rights!" Tom said.      "And you're drunk." Edd said. Piggeh      "Hello, and welcome to my dirty little lair of fun times." the stallion greeted his customer, "Now, do you need a sex toy, or should we meet out back."      "Well, I'm looking for someone, they come by here a lot." the customer said. Earth pony, orange coat, blue mane, golden eyes, "Thinks he's a snake sometimes, he always tried to have sex with everybody he meets, and if he can't he gets angry, sometimes rapes them."      "Yeesh, you described... me... exactly." the stallion behind the counter said. Those golden eyes seemed... familiar. "Stephano?!" he asked in shock.      "Found you, Piggeh."      "Alright, I go to the Zebra Islands." Cookie said.      "I get to stay here and question the astronomer!" Edd said.      "And I get to track down a thief." Stephano sighed, "Oh what joy." //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 6 //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 6    Gonzales was confused. This picture, he didn't remember it, but there he was.    It was a wedding. He didn't recognize the groom, but the bride was a familiar alicorn. Well, at least she should have been. She was a pegasus in this photo, and her groom was a unicorn. Gonzales himself was there, but he was a pegasus. There was Stephano there, too. Unicorn. And that friend of his, that prince, was still an alicorn, but that doesn't matter. There were three alicorns there. He didn't recognize two of them, but the one with the darkest tones. She was familiar.    Then, all the other faces. One that looked like the bride, could only be a member of her family, possibly a brother. A couple of the alicorns Stephano and the others had brought in. But, other faces, he barely recognized. Who were these people? Why   were they all at the same wedding. Why couldn't he remember?     Oh, I almost forgot.     The bride's name was Cookie. //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 7: Pinkie, Cry, and Matt //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 7: Pinkie, Cry, and Matt         (If the music ends, restart it until I say stop.) Youtube Video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=566OSZgLTjU) Pinkie         Stephano looked at the giant building looming over him. Of all the ponies, why did these two have to lose their minds? The ones that could be the most dangerous? And he was pretty sure he was stuck with the most dangerous of them all. He looked to the mare at his side. She was probably jus as worried as him.          "You know where to go, right?" he asked.          "Save your protection for those who need it." Cookie sighed, "Yes."          "See you later, then." Stephani stepped into the building, leaving Cookie behind, still a bit too scared to go in.          He spotted a receptionist. "Hi, I called earlier." he said, "About Patient 234?"          "Patient 234 is to meet with a Mr. Golden. Can I see some I.D?" she asked.          "Right here." he said, levitating it out of his saddlebags. Fake I.D, it was sure to work.          "Seems legit." the receptionist said, "Take a right, then a left. First door."          "Thanks." Stephano followed the mare's instructions, arriving at the door of Patient 234. He opened the door, unsure of what he about to see. Blood? Gore? Nope, just a regular white room. Except for the pony who occupied it. She was far from regular. Her mane was fat, and she was in a straightjacket.          "Stephy." she said creepily, "How nice of you to come visit me. I didn't think you would, what with your title as Prince of the kingdom. Why am I still in here, Stephy? I've learned my lesson."          "Pinkamena, you know why you're in here." Stephano said, "You killed several ponies, and fed them to others. Without them knowing. You made a child do that!"          "Speaking of, how's Scoots been?" Pinkie asked, "And all the others. I'd love to know what my friends are doing."          "Scootaloo has been doing fine." Stephano said, "She's gotten over what she did for you, and has moved on. She's actually a racer right now."          "That's... nice." Pinkamena said, "What about your dear brother, Stephy? How's Gonzales been?"          "That's why I'm here." Stephano said, "Author, would you like to do the honors?" Certainly. WE BESTOW THEE THE POWER OF KNOWING WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON!!!          "That's quite a tale, Stephy." Pinkamena said, "And, you need me to complete it? How rich. You're the reason I'm in the hellhole, Stephy."          "I'm not saying it." Stephano said. Say it or We shall cuteth off your head! Remove thee from thy story!          "Fine, but it doesn't even work right with this situation!" It does not with fair Cookie's either. Say it!          "found you Pinkamena." Stephano grumbled. Cry          Cookie gulped, sweat dripping down her face. She slowly pushed the door open. A supposedly crazy pony sat in the center of the room. He obviously hadn't gotten much sleep. He looked unknowingly at the mare in disguise in front of him, questioning why someone would return to his case after all this time.          "Are you a reporter?" he asked, "Are there more of you?"          "There is another reporter here in the building," Cookie said, "But he's questioning somepony else."          "Ponies." he sighed, "I'M NOT CRAZY!!!"          "Isn't that obvious?" Cookie asked.          "You mean, you believe me?" the stallion asked in shock, "You need to help me! There's a-"          "A mask, that prevents two evil guys from controlling you." Cookie finished.          "How did you...?" he then noticed the mare's grey eyes, "Ack!!" He fell backward "S-stay away from me!"          "Cry-"          "I'm not going back! Nonono!"          "Cry-!"          "You can't make me!"          "RYAN!!!" Cookie yelled, "Let me explain." We command you to say it!          "No, no." Cry said, "Allow me. Found you, Cookie."          "That's my line!" Cookie yelled.          (Reader, what're you doing? Reader, stahp.) Matt       sucks according to Tom...          "Welcome to Carousel Boutique. Where everything is-" the stallion was interrupted when he realized who walked in, "OH SHIT!!!" he said, trying to run away.           "Matt, stop." Edd said, "I found you. Get over it."           "Hmmm." Cookie examined the paper.           "Hmmm indeed." Edd agreed, "Just WTF is this?"           "Uh, paper." Stephano said, "Look, you go here, Cookie, and Edd, you go here. I'll stay here."           "Fuck you Stephano!!" Cookie yelled, "Do you hate me or something?! Why would you send me right to a serial killer?!!!"           "And why do you get to-" Edd started. Don't question Stephano. //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 8: Husky, Mr. Chair, and Kuledud3 //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 8: Husky, Mr. Chair, and Kuledud3 Husky       "W-what?" the quiet mare suddenly realized she was hanging upside-down, her legs bound to her body, "Eeep!!"       "Quiet you!!" a voice said.       "Who said that?" the mare asked.       "I said be quiet!!" the voice sounded angry.       "Please don't hurt me!!" the mare exclaimed.       "Hurt you? Whatever makes you think I'm going to hurt you?" the voice was happy.       "Y-you're not?"       "I never said I wasn't!!" the voice laughed. Suddenly, the floor retracted into the walls, revealing a pool of water. The mare located her captor, hidden in a dark room, behind a glass window.       "No!!" the mare screamed as she was lowered, "Help me!! Heeeeelp!!!"       "Swim, bitch, SWIM!!!!" he laughed maniacally, when she fell in,       "FUCK YOU, QUENTIN!!!" she screamed, flying out of the water, "TRYING TO KILL ME?!!!"       "What?!" he yelled, "How do you know my name?!"       "Can't recognize me, Fish?!" she yelled, her eyes a pure white. Her disguise flickered, showing her true self. Cookie.       "No!! That's impossible!!" Husky yelled, "WHY DID YOU SEARCH FOR ME?!!"       "FOUND YOU, YOU ASS!!!" Cookie yelled, "HUSKY THE ASS!!!" Mr. Chair       "Haters gonna hate..." Mr. Chair sang the song quietly, while organizing book, "I laugh cuz you skate... this is... not... my... fate." He was suddenly aware of a figure behind him. With a magical aura. And it was a royal presence. Fucking hell.       "Y-your majesty?!" the librarian exclaimed, "I'm sorry, I did not expect you to arrive. You didn't hear that tune, did you?"       "What tune?" Stephano asked.       "Oh good. I mean-" Mr. Chair started.       "Oh, you mean that one remix." Stephano smiled, "Audio snippets from Pewdie's videos auto tuned and mixed together to make a delightful song. I was like, should I order the game online? Hmmm hmmm hmmm. I was like, should I order the game online? No I'll drive to the fucking Gamestop. Isn't it wonderful, Mr. Chair?"        "Y-yes it is-" Mr. Chair caught himself, "N-no!!"        "Found you." Kuledud3        "I never get the long segments." Edd sighed.        "WELCOOOOOOME!!!!" a stallion yelled, "THIS IS MY FUCKING PIRATE SHIP!!!"        "Pirate?"        "PIRATE?! WHERE?!" he screamed, "I'M A PIRATE!!!"        "No. You're Kuledud3." Edd said.        "Yup! You found me, Edd!!" Kule yelled.        "I get a long one this time!!" Edd said, "I call going to the Everfree!!"        "Nope." Cookie said, "You go to the... hmm, I'm pretty sure you target is still in the city. I'm going to the bar in Ponyville."        Stephano gulped, "I guess I'm going to Gamers Inc." //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 9 //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 9      "Let me help!!!"      "Why?" Cookie asked.      "Because the fans will complain if I keep not appearing!!!"      "You don't know that." Stephano grumbled.      "Shut up."      "No." Edd said. WHO IS THY AUTHOR?!!      "You are..." Cookie said. SO WHO DECIDES WHICH CITIZEN SHALL PARTAKE IN THY STORY?!!!      "You..." Stephano sighed. CORRECT!! SKY WILL NOW ASSIST YOU IN FINDING THY ACQUAINTANCES!!!!      "Fine..." Edd said.      "WOOOOOHOOOOOO!!!" Sky yelled, "I get to kill squids, right?" //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 1 //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 1     "Stephano, listen to me." Cookie said, "Something bad is going to happen, I know it. I'm asking for your permission, just a peek at your memories will help."     "Cookie, I know you're worried, but I promise, there is no need for that." Stephano sighed, "The world is not going come crashing down on my watch."     "Please, this has nothing to do with the world ending." Cookie lowered her voice, and spoke in French, "Il a à faire avec Gonzales."     "Impossible, il est mort!" Stephano replied, "Mon frère est mort!"     "Please, Stephano, I know this will be hard for you." Cookie said, "But he may be alive, I just need to look for clues in your memories! That's all. Don't you want your brother back?" Stephano didn't look at her, "I know, despite your differences, you care about him. I might be able to find out where he went, if he gave a return date."     "Alright, if it means I get to see him again." Stephano sighed.     "I promise, I'll do my best to bring him home." Cookie looked Stephano in the eyes, "But please, understand if I don't. I have very few memories work with. I may barely be able to piece together anything. He may not come home unless he wants to, and, to that, it may be very unlikely we ever see him again. I'm sorry if anything goes wrong, but it may go right. Hold onto that hope."     "I'll try." "Brother?" Stephano searched the empty room, "Gonzales, where are you?" He's not here, but this memory holds importance. Why? Wait. I recognize this day. It's day day he disappeared. Of course it's important, I'm and idiot. The rain. It always rains like this, every year on this day. Poor Stephano, being the one to discover his own brother went missing, and he hasn't seen him for one-hundred years. No one has. What's over here? Nothing. Closet? Empty, he took everything. Desk? Ne- no. A piece of paper. Stephano hasn't read this, I'm sure. It looks like the work Gonzales, that's for sure. Stephano must have been so over come by grief, he didn't notice. I wonder if it's still there, waiting for it's reader. What's it say? Dear Brother, I'm leaving. Do not ask why, because I can't explain. I feel drawn to leave, as if something is calling me away. You got a nice girl there, take care of her. Little brother, you are the best thing that ever happened to me. I love you, and I will come back one day. Gonzales      Cookie gasped as she woke up. Gonzales had left a note in his room. Her eyes widened as she realized it. It was still there. After one-hundred years, the note was exactly where it had been left. No one had touched it. *******      Stephano put the letter down. Cookie had found this. It was written by Gonzales. "Come home, brother." he said, staring at the moon that Gonzales had failed to raise for one-hundred years. In 36,524 days, he had failed to come home. Would that change? //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 5: Mark, Jason, and Ty //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 5: Mark, Jason, and Ty Mark     "Zebra Islands, been a while." Cookie said, she turned to a guard, "Excuse me, but I have reason to believe one of your people may be a fraud, an old friend in hiding, you may say."     "No one here is a fraud." the zebra guard said, "You should leave right now."     "Interesting voice there." she said, "What made you think I wouldn't recognize it, Mark?"     "Cookie, come on, please, don't make me go back." Mark said, "I like the Zebra Islands better, anyway."     "Found you, Markiplier." Cookie giggled.     "WHERE'S THE BLACKSMITH?!!" Mark yelled as Cookie dragged him off. Jason     "Excuse me, sir." a stallion stepped into the astronomer's office. Very spacious, had room for a giant telescope and all that shit. "I'm here to do a report on your most recent stellar discoveries, could you spare a moment?"     "Certainly, of course." the astronomer said, "Dr. Universe, nice to meet you."     "I prefer calling people their real names." the stallion said, getting a confused look from the astronomer, "Jason, was it?"     "How did you-?" Jason was flabbergasted, until he noticed the brown eyes, "Edd!"     "You couldn't go too far away, could you?" Edd said, "Had to make sure your friends in the city were okay, even if they weren't aware. Y'know, we caught Sky, and Stephano's already on Deadlox's tail. I have one thing to say. Found you."     "Fine, I won't fight." Jason said, "But this is uncool!" Ty     "Alright, this heist better be a good one." A pegasus said into his earpiece, "Hq's been feeling empty since the last time we paid our taxes."     "You got it, I sneak up the middle, you go around the side. Dude, look out!" a unicorn ducked down in time, though you can't say the same for the pegasus. He was held in a magical grasp, the only thing he saw of his captor was golden eyes.     "Found you, Ty." he said.     "Stephano...?" he asked.     "Say it." Stephano said.     "No!" Cookie exclaimed, "I refuse to go there!"     "Go where?" Edd asked confused.     "the insane asylum..." Cookie muttered.     "It's not like I'm going to enjoy it either." Stephano said, "Why did two people have to lose their fucking minds?"     "Well, the script says I'm supposed to be tracking down Tord..." Edd sighed, "But, I think I'll switch it around and go after Matt first."     "You can't do that!" Cookie exclaimed, "I know the author! I will file a complaint!" Tis unneeded, for We are already here!     "YOU AREN'T LUNA!!!" Stephano exclaimed. The fun shall be doubled if We play pretend!     "I don't give a fuck." Cookie sighed.
