Brandon's point of view (equine form)
7:00 a.m.
The sound of a alarm clock reach my ears as I slept in my cloud bead, the best kind of bead this world has to offer if I had to say myself. I got up slowly with sleep in my eyes and place one of my hands on the clock without smashing it like the others I had did before. I took a look around a room to see if any maid or female guard sneaked in hear to sleep without my knowing, sometimes Cadence tries her luck and tire to get into my room, but ever since I had place a spell on the door to my room to prevent that. The spell that I placed after the first time when Cadence tried to sleep with me, will teleport the person who touches the door handle to a random location inside the plaice, unless they are the few ponies that the spell won't affect, for example that if Celestia wanted to talk with me about things in privet then the spell will not affect her as she entered entered my room, but when heat season comes around my room is like a safe heaven for all the males within the castle, if they can get to my room that is and without getting rapped. Last time Cadence tried to enter my room when I was asleep, she transported by teleportation to the garden's maze.
I got up form my bead and did a few stretches to help remove the sleep form my eyes. Once that was done I walked over to my dresser to get some shorts. The shorts that I'm wearing are made from cotton and why I'm not using bio-mass because it provides no comfort to me. Now with clothes on I left my room and headed to the dining hall for breakfast with the rest of the royals. But before I left my room I took a look at the calender hanging on the wall.
"Tomorrow is the summer solstice." I stated then left the room.
In the hallway I was in thought, heavily, about the summer sun celebration and the return of Nightmare Moon. I continued on with my train of thought, until I started to think about the elements of harmony. The Elements of Harmony. What were the names of those six gems again?......... Ah yes, now I remember, the red gem of loyalty, orange gem of honesty, purple gem of generosity, blue gem of laughter, pink gem of kindness, and the magenta gem of magic...... I wished that the elements existed back on Earth, everyone's lives would have been a better, by a lot.
It was about another five minutes of walking till I got to the dining hall and once there I see that no one else is here except Celestia, Cadence and Bluebells. (Princess is just a title for her, not apart of her name. Same with Blueblood. But they have less political power than Celestia.) I took a set across form Cadence and next to Bluebells, with Celestia sitting at the head of the table.
"Morning Silver." the three girls said in unison then had a short giggle after.
"Morning." I replied with a yawn as the rest of my sleepiness faded as I took a set at the table.
A butler by the name of Loyal Steed -weird name if you ask me- walked up to me and asked in a near British voice. "Good morning Sir Silver. What would you like?"
"Hello Steed. A cup of Earl gray would be all, not feeling that hungry." I said.
"As you wish." Loyal said and left to the kitchen.
After the butler left, the room fell silent for a few seconds until the three others started to have idle chats with each other. While they were doing that, I was brain storming of how I would gain theses elements to used combat the nightmare goddess. And yes I know that I could just kill her with my powers but I decide not to do that ever since I learned that Nightmare moon is Princess Luna, Celestia's lost sister. As I was bairn storming, Shining Armor, Blueblood, and Twilight Sparkle have entered the dining hall and taken a seat as well as placeing their orders for their breakfast. Twilight now had all of her body parts, thanks to Celestia. When Twilight got her body to be whole again was a month after she return with me. During that month wasn't that good, for the males because of the early heat season. My train of thought stopped by Shining flicking my ear.
"Really?" I said looking at the culprit.
"Hay, I've tried plenty of times to get you out of your trance." Shining said acting innocent.
I just shrugged then went on sipping my tea. When did this get here? I thought as I look at tea for a second then continue to drink it slowly to savor the taste.
Later at 11:00 a.m.
Room: Day court
Day court. It sucks, listening to complaints of stuck-up nobles, pointless requests that will bankrupt the kingdom, but there were some requests that will help the Equestrian economy and some other stuff. I do not know how Celestia had put up with this for more than thousand plus years, and I am having a hard time putting up with this for seven and a half years as Celestia's personal adviser.
"Finally it's over." I complained as I leaned back in the chair I was sitting in and rubbing my eyes.
"It wasn't that bad Brandon." Celestia said in her ever so motherly voice as she walked back to her throne.
Before I could continue my argument a small poof of smoke appeared revealing a rolled up scroll. Celestia cot the scroll in her gold glowing magic aura, she opened the letter to read it and once she was finish Celestia let out a small giggle.
"Letter form Twilight." I said after getting up form the chair.
I started to walk over to the to Celestia to see whats the letter is about, but the said letter burst into flames being sent to a storage room full of Twilight's letters. Celestia turned to me with a joyous smile, I stood there with a stoic look, but a little confused.
"What was the letter about?" I ask.
"It seems that my student has figured out the return of Nightmare Moon." answered Celestia.
"Your sister?" I question.
....
"How did you know that?" Celestia ask with slight interest.
"I've been looking through archives out of boredom." I simply stated.
After I finished saying what I said, Celestia summoned some parchment and a magic quill then started to wright a letter to Twilight. Once she was finished with the said letter, Celestia handed me the rolled up parchment. I gave her a confused look to only see a fake innocent smile before my world went black.
Later with Twilight and Spike
Train to Ponyvile
Third person
11:40 a.m.
The sound of the horn of the train and metal rubbing on metal caused Silver re-awake again for the day. Silver looked around to see where he is currently at, in a passenger cart connected to a train. He is sitting in a seat with Twilight next to him and Spike sitting across form him on the other seat.
"Hi-ya Silver." Spike said when he noticed Silver awake.
"Hi Spike. Why am I on a train?" Silver ask looking out the window to see the scenery become more urban than wilderness.
"Twilight and I received a letter form Princess Celestia about you and Twilight being supervisors for the summer sun celebration." Spike said as the train came to a complete stop.
When the trio exit the train station, Spike decided to clime up Silver to sit on his shoulder. (Spike is the same as in the show.) A little while later of walking and Spike pestering Twilight about making more friends than the people she knows, Silver stayed out of it and thinking up a way to get the elements and use the to defeat Nightmare Moon.
"Come on, Twilight at least to try to make a friend, who knows maybe they have similar interests." Spike said trying to get Twilight to try to make a friend.
"Fine alright, I'll try." Twilight said and walked up to an other pony who is unbelievably pink.
"Um... hello?" Twilight ask but the only answer she got was the pink pony giving a prolonged gasp and jumped into the air to zoom away.
"Well, that was interesting." Silver said with slight interest of how the pony was able to launch them self in mid air in a different direction.
After that unexpected encounter, the trio continued to their first location of business; Sweet Apple Acres for the food preparations. Just when the group walked past the farms entrance they heard someone yell a joyful yeehaw. Twilight, Silver, and Spike turnd their head to the direction of the sound to see an earth pony wearing a stetson hat and she was running at a apple tree, just a second before she ran into the tree she planted one hoof on the ground and spin around to round house kick the tree with her other hoof. The apple tree wobbled form the impact of the kick causing the apples of the tree to fall into baskets at the base of the tree.
"*sigh* Let get this over with." Twilight said before she walked over to the earth pony and put on a fake smile.
"Good afternoon. My name is Twilight Sparkle--" Twilight said but didn't finish do to the earth pony cutting in.
"Well, howdy-doo, Miss Twilight. I'm Applejack. We here at Sweet Apple Acres sure do like making new friends!" Applejack said with enthusiasm.
"Friends? Actually, I'm here--" Twilight tried to say but was cut off by an apple being shoved into her mouth.
By this point both Silver and Spike were snickering but stopped when Twilight shout a quick glare at the two. While Twilight was coughing because of the apple, Silver stepped in.
"Hello there, I'm Silver Heart." Silver said and offered a hand shake to Applejack, who accepted the jester.
"Howdy Silver, what can I do you for?" Applejack greeted and ask.
"Well, Twilight, my co-worker and I were sent from Canterlot as supervisors for the preparations of the Summer Sun Celebration, and I believed that the apple family is in charge of the food." Silver said.
"We sure as sugar are! Would you three care to sample some?" Applejack ask.
"As long as it doesn't take too long, then yes." Silver said.
With a smile Applejack pulled out a triangle out of no ware and started ringing it.
"Soup's on, everypony!" Applejack yelled.
After Applejack said that the ground started to rumble. Twilight and Silver turned to see a mob of ponies running in their detection. Before they cloud get out of the way they were swept up be the crowd and then seated at an outdoor table.
"Now, why don't I introduce y'all to the Apple family?" Applejack said.
"Thanks, but I really need to --" Twilight tried to say but was once again cut off.
Applejack started to introduce each member of the family and with each name said there was and apple based dish place on the table that Twilight, Silver and Spike sat at. About half way through, Applejack was talking so fast that Twilight lost track but Silver was able to understand every word. As for Spike, he was eating the food as it came. By the time that Applejack was done, half of the food on the table was gone thanks to Spike.
"Best food I had all week." Spike said with satisfaction.
"Okay, well, I can see the food situation is handled, so we'll be on our way." Twilight said as she got up form the table.
"Aren't you gonna stay for brunch?" Apple Bloom said while giving Twilight the sad puppy look.
Twilight was trying her best to resist the look but was failing to do so, but if it was up to Silver the said look would have no affect. In the end Twilight had gave in with a defeated "Fine we'll say."
A little wile later
12:00 p.m.
Silver changed into his Pegasus form
"So the food taken care of. Next on the list is... weather." Spike said as he sat on Silver's shoulder reading a list of things to do.
"I ate too much." Twilight complained.
"It wasn't that much." Silver said.
"Says the pony with hyperactive metabolism." Twilight said with envy.
"Hmm, there's supposed to be a Pegasus pony named Rainbow Dash clearing the clouds." Spike said as he looked up to the sky.
"Well, it looks like she not doing her job." Silver said with disappointment.
Unexpectedly Silver was tackled by a rainbow streak of light into a mud puddle. Silver looked at the attacker to see a sky blue Pegasus with rainbow stile main and tail. I'm guessing that she's Rainbow Dash. Silver thought as he and Rainbow got up.
"Oh, hi. Sorry for crashing into you." Rainbow apologized.
"Its alright, its only mud." Silver replied.
"Oh, wait here for a second." Rainbow said as she zoomed away only to return with a rain cloud.
Rainbow started to jump on the cloud to make it rain heavily on Silver, washing away the mud but now he completely drenched with water.
"Oops, I guess I overdid it. Um, uh, how about this? My very own patented Rain-Blow Dry!" Rainbow said as she jumped off the cloud that she was standing on to fly around fast enough to make a mini-twister. When she was finished, Rainbow landed and had a look at her handy work, only to burst out laughing. Spike follow soon after and Twilight failed to keep it in for the most part. Silver mane and tail have been turned form slightly messy to full on afro hairstyle.
"I take that your Rainbow Dash?" Twilight ask after she calmed down.
"The one and only. Why, you heard of me?" Rainbow said with pride.
"I heard that you were supposed to keep the sky clear of any clouds. I'm Twilight Sparkle and he is Silver Hart, we were sent by the Princess to check on the weather." Twilight said as Silver was coming his tail.
"Yeah, yeah, that'll be a snap. I'll do it in a jiffy. Ju--" Rainbow said as she flue up to a cloud in an attempt to take a nap, but she shot up with a surprised expression on her face.
"Wait, did you just say Silver Hart?" Rainbow said when she jumped down to the trio.
"Yes, why do you ask?" Silver said.
"As in the Silver Hart, who filled in for Spitfire, the captain of the Wonder Bolts when she broke her wings six years ago during a Wonder Blot fight show in Cloudsdale." Rainbow Dash ask.
"Yes, that was me." Silver said before Rainbow pounced on him with a fan-girl squeal.
Twilight and Spike watch as Silver was tackled by the blue Pegasus and was asking question after question at a very fast paced. It took a few minutes until Rainbow calmed down and let go of Silver.
"Rainbow, you were supposed keep the sky clear." Silver said to Rainbow Dash and she flue into the sky to do her job under ten seconds.
"See you guys later." Rainbow said with a ecstatic smile on her face.
"Silver, you made her day." Spike said snickering.
12:25 p.m.
Town Hall
Silver in his unicorn form
When the group had entered the town hall, they were amazed at the decorations that were set up in the building.
"Beautiful..." Spike said as his eyes turned into harts.
"Yes, the decor is coming along nicely. This ought'a be quick. Quite beautiful indeed." Twilight said with a smile.
"Not the decor, her!" Spike exclaimed as he pointed to the pony who was setting up the decorations by magic.
The pony Spike was pointing at has snow white fur, royal purple mane and tail that hang in a curl fission. She is currently debating to her self of which ribbon of the many that were floating around her. Silver walked up to the pony to greet her.
"Good afternoon--" Silver started but was interrupted.
"Just a moment, please! I'm 'in the zone', as it were. Oh, yes! Sparkle always does the trick, does it not?" Rarity said before she turned around to face Silver.
"Now, um, how can I help yo-*panicked yelp*. Oh my word! Sir, whatever happened to your your coiffure?!" Rarity said with shock.
"Oh, my hair? I almost forgot about it." Silver said then with a quick spell and a flash of magic his hair was back to normal.
"Now with that out of the way. Hello I am Silver Hart and this is Twilight Sparkle, we were sent form Canterlot to--" Silver said but couldn't finish do to the white pony cutting him off.
"Canterlot?! Your form Canterlot? Oh, I have always dreamed of living there. You must tell what it is like to live there." Rarity said with a hint of envy.
"Sorry, but I can not. I don't have that much time to spare. But before I leave, I can tell you that Canterlot is not as glamorous as it seems." Silver said then left along with Twilight and Spike, not giving Rarity a chance to reply.
1:00 p.m.
Park
"So, what's next on the list." Silver said as the trio walked in the park.
"Um, lets see...(looking through the list)... music and it's the last one." Spike said then rolling the list up.
"Who is the pony that is in charge of it?" Twilight ask.
"There wasn't a name, but there was a warning though." Spike answer.
"And that is what?" Silver ask.
Before Silver's question could be answered, a group of birds flue passing overhead singing a marry tune. This caught the trio's attention and they followed the song birds. Once they got to the location of the orchestra of birds, what they saw was interesting. A yellow Pegasus with a very long bubblegum pink mane and tail, though her eye color was still unknown since the Pegasus' back was facing the trio.
The said Pegasus was being the directer for the orchestra of birds, but one bird's tune was off compared to the others.
"Oh my. Um, stop please, everyone, umm. Excuse me, Mr. Robin? I mean, no offense, but your rhythm is just a teeny-tiny bit off. Now-" Fluttershy said, but was interpreted by Twilight.
"Hello!" Twilight said as she stood behind Fluttershy causing her to yelp and scaring the birds away.
"Oh my, I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to frighten your birds." Twilight said with panic.
At this point Spike and Silver were watching form the bushes, Spike was laughing like a little imp but with a quick slap to the back of his head he stop. Silver on the other hand, he ha transformed into a somewhat large Snowy owl and flue out of the bushes and landed next to Twilight. Silver, now and owl, stood ruffly up to Twilight's knees in height. When Fulttershy saw the large owl, her crystal blue eyes were with wonder.
"Oh my. Hello there." Fluttershy said softly.
"Oh, hello Silver, when did you get here." Twilight lied when Silver landed by her.
Silver just nodded back and slowly approached the shy pony, once close enough he let Fluttershy pet him. After a wile of a petting and question session, consisting of Fluttershy asking animal related questions like: where did you get him, how did he get so big, or any thing of that nature. When Fluttershy was finish, she bid a far well to Twilight and Silver as they left.
Later when the sun was setting Twilight, Spike, and Silver have finally reach the library-tree-house hybrid. Twilight was ever so joyful because she can finely study at the library to find a way to defeat Nightmare Moon when she arrives at midnight to proclaim the start of the never ending night, Spike was happy because he can go to sleep when they get inside. As for Silver, he planing to sneak out when the other two are not looking so he could beat the night goddess quickly and reform her.
When the three entered the house-tree hybrid, it was near pitch black and no one could see, though Silver has many different eye visions. Silver switched his vision to thermal vision and he saw that the whole library was full of ponies, all hidden. So, Silver waited till they came out.
"Spike, help me fine the light switch." Twilight said looking around for the light switch.
"SURPRISE!!" yelled the hidden group when they jumped out when the light came on, causing Twilight to groan in disappointment.
The next thing that happened was that every pony in the room started to party, leaving a irritated Twilight and a Silver, who is slowly backing away for good reason. But before Silver could get away a ever so pink pony filled his vision.
"Surprise! Hi, I'm Pinkie Pie, and I threw this party just for you! Were you surprised? Were ya? Were ya? Huh huh huh?" Pinkie Pie said as Silver pushed her, genitally away form him.
"I was surprised." Silver said, then he caught sight of Twilight heading upstairs mumbling something about 'this is a waist of time' or something like that.
The rest of the night was spent partying for Spike and Silver while Twilight was away in her new room sleeping. Every one was enjoying the party but four friends having a little talk about their newest friend, Silver Heart. Most of the talking was about how Silver was different when they met him. The four friends were very shocked when they learned that Silver was an owl when Fluttershy meet him.
"Wait a minute. Let me get this straight; when Applejack met Silver he was an earth pony, and when he met me, Silver was a Pegasus, then a Unicorn when he met Rarity, and when Silver met Fluttershy he was an owl?" Rainbow Dash said trying to make sense of the situation.
While Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Rarity, and Fluttershy continued their discussion about Silver, they didn't know that someone was eavesdropping on them, and that eavesdropper was Silver. As Silver was listening to them he mentally laughed at the fact that he indirectly made a few ponies have a mind-fuck. When Silver was done and the party was coming to a end, everyone started heading to the town hall.
Town Hall
Time: Midnight-ish
Brandon is in his human form though he is wearing a dark blue hoodie, black baggy pants, and a fake pony tail to lower suspension.
Also it is his point of view
The town hall was filled with just about every pony in town, all waiting for the start of the celebration. As the mayor of the town on to the stage, everyone fell silent, dead silent, not even a bloody cricket was chirping. I stood at the front of the crowd next to Twilight, who is having a mini-panic attack.
"Fillies and gentlecolts, as mayor of Ponyville, it is my great pleasure to announce the beginning of the Summer Sun Celebration!" the mayor said. The ponies gave a short cheer as I stood there with my hands in my pockets and my hood up so no one saw who I am.
As the mayor continued her speech, I tuned her out and looked up through the window at the moon to see four stars gravitating to the moon. Once the stars made contact with the moon, it flashed telling the world that Nightmare Moon's imprisonment is over. About time, I'm getting tried of this mare's crappy ass speech. I thought as slowly moved my way in front of Twilight while she is getting more nervous by the second.
When the mayor announced Celestia's name, the curtains on the balcony opened. It only took a second to make every pony in the room to turn their joyful happy faces into ones of fear and horror. Standing on the balcony was not Celestia but it was Nightmare Moon instead.
"Oh, my beloved subjects. It's been so long since I've seen your precious, little sun-loving faces." Nightmare Moon said with a some hate in her voice.
I was about to make my move but Rainbow Dash, being stupid and jumping to conclusions, tried to rush the Night Goddess but Applejack was quick to grab Rainbow Dash before she left the ground.
"Does my crown no longer count now that I have been imprisoned for a thousand years? Did you not recall the legend? Did you not see the signs?" Nightmare said as she put even more fear into all of the ponies.
When Nightmare reappeared in front of me as a attempt to scare me but I just stood there. I stated to chuckle, then a quiet laugh, and finally I started to laugh so hard that my sides started to hurt. The ponies around me back up slowly wile Nightmare Moon stared at me strangely. As my laughing fit came to an end, I noticed that every one was looking at me.
"Oh, I did that out loud, didn't I?" I said scratching the back of my head.
"Mortal." Nightmare moon said as she stood in front of me.
I looked at her in the eyes as she at my face, though my face hidden in shadows do to my hood having a spell on it. The only thing that Nightmare could see in my hood is shadows and two white dots for eyes.
"Yo." was the only thing I said to here and almost every pony in the room, their mouths fell.
"It's quite uncommon to see one as young as you to not fear a goddess like myself." Nightmare said as she walked around me with curious eyes.
"Wait a minute, Aren't you supposed to cover this world in an eternal night or something like that." I bluntly stated.
With realization dawning on Nightmare Moon that she came here to do something but she got distracted by me laughing out loud. The next thing she did was teleport back up to the balcony.
"Remember this day, little ponies, for it was your last. From this moment forth, the night will last forever!" Nightmare Moon said with evil laughter and causing thunder to go off in the background of her. A second after Nightmare Moon finished her laughing she transform into a misty cloud like smoke and made her escape.
