That chapter which summaries events during previous chapter

“Maybe we should try reading some of Twilight’s books again?” it heard Sweetie Bell say,

“You looked through her books?” Ember remarked,

“She let us when she was teaching us.” Scootaloo chimed,

“I see, and what did you learn from it?”

“Oh, not too much,” Apple Bloom said, “just boring information about waiting.”

“Well, maybe we should just wait?” Ember suggested, the cutie mark crusaders looked at him for a moment then started to laugh, they looked back and realized he was serious,

"We don't wait for our cutie marks silly," Sweetie Bell smiled, "we try and find out talents quickly!",

"Oh." Ember nodded a little, still puzzled but not wanting to offend them,

"So," Scootaloo exclaimed, "to Twilight's house!" and with that they dashed from the club house and down the ladder, first Scootaloo, then Sweetie Bell and finally Apple Bloom. Ember sighed and little and shook his head,

"Why do I even need a cutie mark?" he muttered to himself while climbing down the ladder.

When he reached the ground his ears pricked up, he turned around towards a bush,

"Hm," he thought, "did I hear something?" he shrugged and trotted after the crusaders. He found them at Twilight's house, already rummaging through her books, when he entered she smiled brightly,

"Ember, there you are, I was worried you might have gotten lost." she beckoned him over the a pile of books, he slowly walked over,

"It's okay," he sat down, "I just followed their giggling." He laughed a little and, to his surprise, Twilight laughed as well,

"I'm sure you did, I heard them coming before I saw them." She handed him a book titled Equestria, The History, he looked at it for a moment before opening it and scanning the first page,

"So," he looked up a little, "this is where we are?" Twilight nodded happily and pointed to picture of two Alicorns', one of a brilliant white with a shimmering mane and one of the deepest black with a flowing, dark blue mane,

"This," she said with pride, "is Princess Celestia and Princess Luna, Celestia is the white one here, and Luna is her sister next to her." He nodded with a look of great interest,

"And they rule Equestria?"

"Well, yes, except at one point it was just Celestia as her sister, Luna, had turned into Nightmare Moon," He looked up at her, confused, "don't worry, we managed to change her back." she smiled, but he still looked confused,

"So, Luna changed into Nightmare Moon?" she nodded, "Who you turned back into Luna?" she nodded again, "How?"

"Well," she stood up and walked to a glass case which was now empty, "we used the elements of harmony, details are in the book on page 31, but we had to give them to Tree of Harmony, so now we just have to be together to use the power." She came back over and sat back down, he nodded and turned to the page Twilight had said. He read for a while, the crusaders started to get bored so Twilight took them back to their homes as it was getting late, once Ember had finished reading the page he stood up and looked around,

"So, Alicorns are royalty?" He said to himself, "Alicorns have wings," he opened up his wings, "and a horn," he looked up at his horn, "so am I royalty?" At that point Twilight came back in and smiled,

"Well, did you find it helpful?"

"Yes, it was very interesting."

"That's great! If you need more books you know where to come." She smiled and held the door open for him, he goes to leave then stops and blushes, "Are you okay?" Twilight looked at him,

"Oh, erm, yes...it's just, I don't..."

"Have anywhere to stay?" Twilight cut in, he nodded and she closed the door, "It's okay, you can stay here if you want to." she smiled warmly,

"Thank you Twilight." He smiled back and then tilted his head, he hadn't noticed before that Twilight had wings and a horn, "You're an Alicorn also?" she laughed a little,

"Yes, I am, I don't feel like a princess though."

"So you're royalty?"

"Well, I guess you could say that." She blushed a little, he spread his wings,

"Am I a prince then?"

"I-I don't know, Celestia hasn't written back to me yet and Spike's gone away for a holiday. It took me ages to convince him." He sat down and sighed, folding his wings back to his body, he sat down and looked at the cover of a book, Twilight sat down next to him and patted his back,

"It's okay Ember, I'm sure you'll find out something soon." At that point a puff of green smoke drifted through the window and into Twilight's hand, turning into a rolled up piece of parchment at contact,

"What's this?" She held it and went to the window, "Spike? Are you here?"

"Down here Twilight!" She looked down and smiled,

"What are you doing here?"

"Well,two reasons, I heard about the Alicorn..."

"Ember you mean."

"Yes," he came into the house, "and I got a letter which was unnamed and not addressed to anyone so I brought it to you."

"Well, thank you my number one assistant." Spike giggled and sat down, looking at Ember with a happy look,

"I'm Spike!" He exclaimed,

"Ember." He replied, nodding his head a little.

Twilight had gone to get the others, presuming the letter was from Celestia about Ember, after a while Twilight, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, Apple Jack, Rainbow Dash and Rarity came back into the house. Twilight waited until they had all settled down before she picked up the letter and start to read,

"Dear Sister, I’ve almost got him..." she looked at the letter for a moment in silence before gasping and dropping the letter, Ember picked it up before anyone could stop him, he looked through it while the others watched in silence, after a time he looked up with wide eyes,

"L-Luna?..." He looked at Twilight,

"Yes. That's me." They looked at the door and saw the regal figure of Luna standing in the doorway.
