Love

It was a bright afternoon in the humble town of Ponyville. Most ponies were out doing various activities with their families, having a picnic, swimming, going out to eat, that kinda stuff you'd do on a Summers day.

In the Golden Oaks Library, a violet coloured alicorn filly was practising a new spell taught by her teacher and caretaker who was also an alicorn. Those two were well known as Princess Twilight Sparkle, and Young Trinity Star. Their friends were there to support her, but they were also there's to have lunch together. It had been just over a week since the fillies were accepted into Ponyville and their caretakers' lives. Princess Celestia was busy getting the adoption papers ready for them. The six friends really came to love them, like their own little fillies.

Applejack and Season Harvest were happily munching on a bowl of apples together. Season was really happy when her mom to be was going to make her a permanent member of the Apple Family. Applebloom was as ecstatic as she. Now she could be a Cutie Mark Crusader permanently.

Rarity was giving Crystal Charity a lady lesson on drinking tea. Charity was also over the moon when Rarity gave the news. Her 'Auntie' Sweetie Belle was also happy that Charity was going to stay forever more. She, unlike her sister, liked having her to help when making clothes, even taking the time in teaching her how to make small things herself. She enjoyed being somewhat part of the CMC. She didn't like doing some of the activities but helped out anyway she could.

The party pony and happiness bringer were in the kitchen with Spike baking some snacks. For them, this was just a small private celebration. Lucky Joy cried tears of well, joy! When Pinkie told her. She gave a death hug and didn't want to ever let go. She had secretly hoped that the pink party mare would keep her. She may not be as hyperactive as her, but proved to be loads of fun.

Rainbow Dash and Vibrant Sky were looking through a Daring Do book together. Rainbow had a tough debate with herself to consider adopting Vibrant. She had come to really like the filly, and proved she wasn't hard to look after. So she thought 'what the hay' and considered. Plus she was a pretty good racing buddy.

Lastly Fluttershy and Serenity Meadow were happily relaxing on a pair of velvet cushions. Serenity's reaction was the same as Lucky Joy's in a way. She also cried tears of joy and hugged her new mommy. But gentler. Fluttershy was only the very few ponies she wouldn't be really shy of. She loves helping her mommy look after the sick animals with the herbs she grows in her room.

Trinity Star was getting ready for her newly studied for spell. Inner Tranquility. It was a spell that was supposed to find the peace within the mind and have the ability of total relaxation. She had already a chalk drawing of a star in a circle and some other symbols on the floor beneath her. Twilight was with her but outside of the chalk muro on the floor.

Twilight had also grown to love the filly as her own. She read her bedtime stories at night and taught her spells and helped her to study and read. And the filly was able to calm her down if she was getting overly worried about her schedules and things in general.She asked Spike on his opinion, and he completely agreed. He had grown to like her a good deal too. She helped him mostly with the re-shelving.

"Are you ready for this Trinity?" Twilight asked. She was questioning herself if this was a good idea. Trinity had just finished beginners and was going straight into intermediate magical spells.

Her answer was a simple nod, a reassuring smile, and a now glowing horn. The others in the room stopped what they were doing and watched as Trinity began her spell.

She closed her eyes and concentrated hard. She spread her legs apart from each other in a stance with her wings spread out wide. The chalk drawing underneath her emitted small clouds of chalk dust that looked like spirits. The others watched in awe at the scene before them, for Twilight in pride.

Everything was going well so far but something happened. A sharp pain went through Trinity's head and she began to lose concentration. Normally when something like up this happened, the spell would have stopped, but this was different. The chalk drawing started to glow as bright as her horn. Twilight was getting worried now. This was rather abnormal. Trinity opened her eyes, but instead of a deep crimson, they were white like a ghost.

A purple cosmic spiralling vortex formed behind her. When of appropriate size, a black hole appeared in the middle of it and started sucking things up inside it like a hoover. Trinity was immediately pulled in unexpectantly with a scream. The other fillies held on to their mothers for dear life. Too afraid of having the same fate. When the kitchen door opened, it revealed Pinkie Pie with a plate of freshly baked cupcakes and Lucky Joy with a fresh creamy custard pie. Lucky Joy also got sucked in, followed by her pie. The other fillies flew in also screaming and holding onto each other. Some teary eyed. Twilight and the others were about to go in after them, but the vortex vanished before they could get to it.

They all screamed for their lost ones names in agony, truly like a mother who had just lost their precious child forever. Outside the window a shadowy figure grinned evilly.

That got rid of the pests. was the one sinister thought he had, before slipping off into elsewhere.

In an alternate world.....

Toby Mason, a young seven year old human boy, was sitting in a field with his Momma Fluttershy, and his five other aunties. Twilight, Rarity, Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, and Applejack. It was a bright sunny day today. Perfect for a picnic.

Toby had been living in Equestria for the past year and a half now, after being transported here to his wish from a different world. His birth-mother was killed in a deliberate accident, performed by the cold-hearted action of his jealous father. Not long after the poor boy was getting terrible verbal abuse from this drunken man. He preyed to the stars above to send him somewhere he'd be loved. He got his wish, and has been happy ever since.

Their peace was interrupted when a purple cosmic vortex appeared over head a few feet away from them. A black hole opened up within it.

"Oooooohhhhh, twitchy tail! twitchy tail!" cried Pinkie with her tail actually twitching. The others knew that something was going to fall from the sky.

And that theory proved to be right! Out of the vortex fell a royal blue pegasus filly with a bright rainbow coloured mane and tail, and landed with a thud. Goggles were hanging around her neck other than the normal way of atop her multi-coloured head. She groaned and rubbed the pain that was sprouting in her head. Looking up she saw the others coming in for a landing. She quickly scootched over after the others fell onto the ground one by one, landing on top of each other in a pile. Season first, followed by Charity, then Lucky, and Trinity on top. The filly sighed in relief for being able to avoid getting fallen on top of. That is until Serenity Meadow landed on top of her back with her hooves over her eyes.

She looked down and saw that she was on top of her friend. She gasped and quickly scrambled off and started apologising to her frantically.

Trinity groaned and looked up at the portal to see if they could get back. Only to have a creamy custard pie land straight in her face. Lucky Joy saw what happened and burst out laughing. Vibrant saw it as well and started laughing too.

Crystal Charity looked up from where she was and saw the adults with a strange creature of some sort.

It was some kind of bipedal creature with a tuft of brown fur on its head. It's skin was a peachy kind of colour with a pair of glasses resting on its tiny nose. It was wearing a red hooded jacket with a golden locket sewn on, blue trousers, and a pair of red and white laced shoes on its hind hooves. Charity could tell that it was Rarity's fine work on the clothes.

Trinity was trying to get the pie off of her face, Lucky and Vibrant were trying to subdue their laughter, and the other three looked at the adults, and strange creature in front of them. When Serenity spotted the unfamiliar face of the creature, she squeaked and quickly cocooned herself in her long pink mane and tail, hiding from the strange face.

Once Trinity got most of the pie off her face, she looked and spotted the strange creature as well. She immediately knew that something was amiss.

"Oh, pony feathers".
