Chapters Chapter 1: New Planet? New ponies!
Princess Catseye pearl looked around scared. She saw shadows everywhere. She was only 7 not ready to take the throne, but out of the corner of her eye she sometimes sees a creature.... then when she tries to look at it, it’s gone. She was very afraid at night because of that. She called up to her sister, Star Spirit.
Star Spirit was a bit older than Catseye but she acted like the little sister. She was never considered much of a princess because she didn't like all the glamor and glitz of being royalty. She was very different you could say... she had a black and yellow mane and she had zebra stripes and a purple body but she hoped she could clear up why she looked that way. She was an alicorn but she didn't have…normal wings
Catseye pearl looked a bit different. She was what the people of that planet call a pureblood. She had a special power. It was the ability to see things in the past or future. It was called the dimensional scream. No pony had heard of a royal pony that had the dimensional scream. Not only that, she had special wings. They looked like an insect's wings. She hated how she was treated all day long. She just wanted to run away to a different planet or somewhere.
Catseye called up to her sister. “Star Spirit... let’s run away... I'm scared of home
Her sister called down sleeply “Huh? Why? it's safe at home.... if it’s that shadow it's just your dimensional scream acting up....zzzzz…”
Catseye didn't believe a word her sister said. She called back up, “But... don't you want to see the world? We can go as far as we want! We don't have to stay on Halon any longer.... look I was playing in the lab thingy place and I saw the ponies who work there found a new planet. It’s the first in many years. Plus it has other ponies! New ponies! We can run there!”
Her sister ears perked up. Now she was listening “Huh? New planet?” her eyes lit up with excitement, “Let’s go! I hear they have a rocket waiting to launch to that planet nearby! C'mon hurry up and pack!” she said flying down to the ground grabbing her suitcase.
A few minutes later they were ready to go. They quietly snuck out of the castle with Star Spirits’ yellow magic aura to light the way. They were almost got spotted by the maids working late night but they managed to make it out without getting caught. They rushed towards the rocket. Luckily no pony was working this late at night so they got in pretty easily. Star Spirit was the one who understood these things so, she managed to activate the rocket. The rushed onboard with their space suits on. They had their own spacesuits because they went into space that one time. The planet was already put into the launch programing so they pressed the button and off they launched.
The king and queen woke up in the morning and they automatically went to check on their children. “Star Spirit! Catseye! Wake up! It's time to watch the rocket launch!” the queen called. The king walked into the room. The beds were empty. The rushed over and looked all over the room called Star Spirit and Catseye Peal’s names. Soon the whole kingdom was looking for them. Eventually a researcher noticed that the rocket was gone.
Up in space, the girls were fast asleep. Soon a loud alarm alerted them they were about to land. They woke up suddenly and they looked around. They saw a big bright sun and a very small green and blue planet up ahead. “Star Spirit! Look at this....” Catseye said, amazed.
Star Spirit walked over very slowly and said “What is-...whoa... is that...” Catseye finished her sentence. “Where we’re going? I think so...”
The sisters traveled though the atmosphere and the rocket went crazy. The girls started pressing random buttons. They were heading toward a forest. They started to scream and they both hugged each other for or their life. Lucky they got surrounded by a magic dark blue aura, putting then down safely on the grass.
Soon a flying carriage came into view. The girls came out of the rocket. They gazed at the blue alicorn that had stepped out of the Pegasus drawn carriage.
“I told you! New ponies! Plus they have your wings...” Catseye whispered to star Spirit. Star Spirit wasn’t listening, she was too amazed by the mare standing before her.
Chapter two: The Royal Twosome
“Who art thou?” The strange mare with wings and a horn demanded.
The girls just blinked as the alicorn waited for an answer. Star Spirit was the first to speak up; “Um... I am Princess Star Spirit and this is my sister princess Catseye pearl. Who are you, if that is alright to ask?” Star Spirit said nervously.
The mare responded “We are princess Luna. Thou shalt follow me.” Looking at each other, the girls started to follow Luna and they started to giggle a bit while they were walking.
Star Spirit whispered to Catseye: “Hey... you were right. New planet, new ponies. Plus I can't believe we are the first halonians to step hoof in this place.” They saw an overgrown patch of forest where it looked like another spaceship crashed there. Maybe they weren’t the first visitors from outer space….
Soon they later they arrived in a town. Several ponies crowded Luna. The sisters backed up. They lived all their life in a small kingdom so they were not used to such a crowd. Luna picked up the sisters using her magic and took them to the flying carriage. The girls were amazed. The ponies here accomplished more in a year than they would in a month. Luna turned towards the sisters and asked “So you are not from here. Am I correct?” Star Spirit couldn't believe it. The mare had changed her voice so quick.
“Oh yes we are from Halon. And may I say your kingdom looks absolutely wonderful! I wish I could live here…” Said Catseye dreamily, stifling a yawn. “We ran away from home....”
Luna felt sorry for the sisters. “Why did you run away child?” she asked. Both of the sisters answered “To see the world!” Catseye touched the seat of the carriage by accident and she started feeling dizzy. “Star Spirit... it’s happening again... the dimensional scream...” Star Spirit turned quickly and helped her sister lay down. “What do you see sis?” she asked. “I- I see...a sky...a palace... a.... statue?...a statue of.. a dragon thing... it broke out...no..NO!” Catseye said before her eyes snapping open. She was drenched in sweat, and stirring.
Luna was fascinated. A pony who could predict events happening in time. “We are here... at Canterlot.” Luna said, looking concerned. The sisters watched as the carriage flew down. Star Spirit helped her sister out of the carriage and down on the ground.
Catseye said “I- I’ve never had one that powerful before... what does it mean Star Spirit. Oh what does it mean? ” then Catseye fainted. Star Spirit gasped and caught Catseye before she hit the ground.
She turned to Luna and begged “Please, please help me.... help her...please...” Luna picked both of them up and put them on her back. “Thank you...” Star Spirit said. Then she grabbed ahold to her sister and held her tight.
Star Spirit was amazed at the inside of the castle. Then she saw another pony sitting on a throne that was an alicorn, but looked nothing like Luna. She had a bright white coat with flowing locks of pink green and blue. She was also taller than Luna “Dear sister what have you found?” the pony asked, speaking up.
Luna answered “I have two fillies that say they come from a different planet. They came out of that rocket I stopped from crashing into the forest.”
Star Spirit spoke up “Um... your majesties.... I am Star Spirit of planet halon and this is my sister Catseye pearl. I mean princess Catseye. We ran away from life at the castle...”
The pony sitting on the throne said “I am princess Celestia of Equestria. I am glad to have met you. Come here now...” Star Spirit crossed over to the older looking princess and Celestia embraced her. She began again “Oh my dear... you have been though a lot... planet travel... we don’t have that yet... let’s get your sister resting and you can tell me all about your travels and your planet. Ok?” Star Spirit nodded.
A few minutes later Catseye was resting in Celestia's bed and Star Spirit and the princess were talking. Luna walked into Celestia’s room and looked after Catseye. She looked like she was having a nightmare. Maybe a vision. She started to rub Catseye's head and sing to her softly. Catseye started to calm down. Luna smiled. Then she noticed her wings. They were almost like an insect's. She continued to sing. It was like her when she was a filly. Celestia would sing to Luna when she would have nightmares. Catseye was all calmed down now. Luna turned off the lights and closed the door.
“Very well” said Celestia, “You can stay with one of my students, Twilight Sparkle. She is kind and she would be open to you as she is to books. I think you will like Equestria.”
Just then Catseye walked out of the bedroom. “Uhg” she groaned, rubbing one of her eyes with her hoof. “What happened...huh...Star Spirit!” she exclaimed. Suddenly wide awake and looking surprised. “Catseye!” Star Spirit said as she ran to her. They gave each other a big hug and then Star Spirit explained everything. When it was all over Catseye said “Well then! Let’s go find Twilight Sparkle!” and they ran out of the castle laughing and giggling.
Celestia and Luna smiled. Both watching the girls and being reminded of themselves when they were little. “Hey Tia.... remind you of some pony? Or ponies?” Luna asked Celestia.
Celestia turned, smiled and said “Oh yes. Very much.”
Chapter Three: Life as “Normal” Ponies
Celestia had arranged for one of her royal carriages to take the girls to Ponyville early in the morning. As soon as they arrived, they were attacked by a pink pony with an exceptionally messy pink mane. “h
Hiya! Who are you? I don't think I met you fillies before. Have I met you fillies before? I'm pinkie pie. Who are you? Ooh let’s throw a welcome party for you fillies! You can meet all my friends! There’s Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Flutter Shy, Rarity, Spike, Twilight Sparkle Derpy, Berry Punch, Shoe Shine, Lyra, Colgate, Bon Bon, Vinyl Scratch, Octavia, Big Mac… ” Feeling completely awkward, the fast talking pony wouldn’t slow down! They inched away slowly…the pony still naming the residents of Ponyville.
They found a local in town and asked for directions, after getting them the girls set off on their journey. Soon they found the gigantic tree/library where the Supposed alicorn Twilight Sparkle was supposed to live. The girls were in awe. They walked up to the door and knocked. The door became surrounded by a pink aura then opened. Stand just inside the door, the girls saw a purple mare, this one with wings and a horn, just like the Royal Sisters (both sets) She put down her book and said
“Oh! Hello! You must be Star Spirit and Catseye Pearl right?” the alicorn asked.
Star Spirit inched behind Catseye, for she was the braver one, and Catseye said “Um.... we are Catseye and Star Spirit and u... princess Celestia sent us to live with you. For now! I mean.” But the alicorn was too distracted with the amazing wings on Catseye.
“Amazing! These look exactly like an insect's wings! I have to write this down! Oh by the way I’m Twilight Sparkle but you probably knew that already. I see you already met pinkie pie, our resident party planner.” twilight said while grabbing a book and Jotting down her notes.
A few minutes later the girls were tucked on a couch reading a book. They enjoyed reading but there weren’t many books on Halon. A little later Twilight came in and told them 5 minutes until lights out.
“Awe but twilight-” Star Spirit started.
“No. Sorry girls but school starts tomorrow. Princess Celestia wrote ahead and told me you were from another planet. You will have to learn our history before you can go running around. You know nothing of this place, am I right?” twilight asked.
Cats eye’s ears went down and in a small voice said “Yes, but, we can read about your history here? Right?”
To which Twilight responded “Yes but you should also make some friends…I see you don’t have your cutie marks yet… Why not join the Cutie Mark Crusaders
Star Spirit asked “What is ‘the Cutie Mark Crusaders’?”
“The cutie mark crusaders are a little group started by Rarity's and Applejack's sisters, and another filly named Scootaloo. I think you would like them,” Twilight explained.
Star Spirit responded, “yeah right.... though it wouldn't hurt to try... you in Catseye?”
“Totally! Think of all the things we could learn!” shouted an excited Catseye.
“Well, you’ll need lots of rest then. Let’s get to bed.” Twilight said, tucking them into the makeshift bed/couch.
“Goodnight Twilight…” Catseye and Star Spirit said yawning. Twilight smiled and went to bed
In the morning twilight heard laughing and giggling. She went downstairs and saw spike and the sisters laughing and giggling. They were looking at one of Spike’s comics. At first, Twilight thought they ruined the library. “All right every pony! Time to eat and get ready for school!” she said making her way to the kitchen. The girls and Spike followed close behind. They sat down at a table and twilight made breakfast for every pony.
A few minutes later the girls were walking out the door, flapping their wings trying to fly. Star Spirit was a bit more successful than Catseye was but Catseye did have those insect-like wings so she couldn't control as well as Star Spirit could. She would have to learn differently. When they got to the school, twilight wished them luck on their first day and they went in. they saw several different fillies there.
Chapter Four: The cutie mark crusaders.
Star Spirit held Catseye’s hoof as they walk in. “Come on. We can do this... Star Spirit? Are you going to be ok?” Catseye asked.
“Y-y-yeah... I’m just nervous. I mean this world is really similar to our home... except we are no longer royalty”
A pink pony with purple and white hair walked up beside them. “Oh look... more blank flanks. Wow I feel sorry for you. New here and already being hopeless.” the sisters just blinked at her.
Then another voice said “Hey Diamond Tiara! Stop being mean to the new mares!” A unicorn walked up to them, followed by a Pegasus and an earth pony.
“Oh look it's the cutie mark losers! Why don't you make them part of your dumb little club?” the filly named Diamond Tiara said.
“Now, that ain't nice and you know it. Why don't you go tease another filly?!” the earth pony said “Yeah! Or we’ll... we’ll.... Uh Applebloom? What will we do?” the orange Pegasus said.
“Come on guys, we're going to be late.” said the small unicorn. Star Spirit noted that she had a very high voice.
“Anyways, I'm Applebloom, this here is Scootaloo and Sweetiebelle! And we are...” Applebloom started, “the cutie mark crusaders!” they said together. Star Spirit was impressed.
“Well hello there! I am Catseye, and this is Star Spirit. We moved here from umm...” Catseye struggled, trying to remember the name. “Canterlot! Yeah, Canterlot!”
Catseye and Star Spirit looked at Applebloom and said “well... it was nice meeting you but we bet-” Star Spirit was interrupted by Sweetiebell
“Hey why don't you come by the clubhouse and see what we do in the Cutie Mark Crusaders?”
Catseye said, “sure we would love that. But we would also have to get permission from Twilight...”
Applebloom said “hey, if my big sis knows Twilight then she knows you then you should be all right.”
“Great! See you then” said Catseye.
When the day was done Spike met them outside the school. “Hey Spike!” said Star Spirit. “Can you tell Twilight we are going to be over to Apple Bloom’s place? Thanks” Then the sisters were running off toward the apple farm.
When they got there they saw an orange pony bucking apple trees. “Um.. excuse me? Does Applebloom live here?” Catseye asked the orange pony.
“Well, sure she does. I'll go get her. Oh I’m Applejack by the way.” Applejack said walking off towards the Cutie Mark Crusaders’ clubhouse.
She came back with Applebloom running over “Star Spirit! Catseye! You came!” they gave her a big hug then ran off to the Cutie Mark Crusaders’ clubhouse.
In the clubhouse they played games and thought up ways to get their cutie mark. “What do you like to do Star Spirit?” Scootaloo asked.
“Hmm.... well, I like to stargaze... and I like to race Catseye on sunny days.” Star Spirit answered.
“Sweetiebelle, Scootaloo. I have an idea that'll get us our cutie marks.” said Applebloom. “CUTIE MARK CRUSADERS STAR GAZERS!!” they all said together. Catseye laughed.
“Oooh Applebloom! Time to come in for dinner! Big mac made it this time!” they heard Applejack yell.
“Oh... I'll meet you guys tonight... we need a telescope though... hey does any pony have a telescope on them?” Applebloom asked.
“Wait! Twilight has one we can ask for!!” said Catseye.
Later that night, Star Spirit told Twilight that she invited Applebloom, Sweetiebelle and Scootaloo to come over and stargaze. Twilight answered “Oh that’s great, you can use the telescope on the top floor balcony. Be careful now!”
There was a knock at the door and Catseye ran to get it. It was Scootaloo, Sweetiebelle and Applebloom. Applejack and a white unicorn were also there. Catseye invite them in. Twilight said “Hey applejack, Rarity. I didn't expect you to come this late at night Rarity.”
Rarity answered “I know, but Sweetiebelle would not let me sleep. I too, need my beauty rest.”
“Come on girls!” said Sweetiebelle, running up the stairs.
They looked out the telescope smiling and laughing. They told each other stories until it was Star Spirit's turn to look. She looked through and saw a giant shining star. “Catseye! Hurry look! I found our home...” Star Spirit said quietly.
Catseye turned and looked. “Wow... it looks so far away... but from here it looks... just like a star...” Catseye said quietly. “Hey guys look! I can see the big dipper!” Catseye said, tracing it out with her hoof. Every pony oohed and ahead as Star Spirit pointed out most of the constellations.
Soon it was time for the Cutie Mark Crusaders to leave. They all said their goodbyes and Star Spirit and Catseye sat on a chair and read a book. It was a nice romance/action book and it turns out that this kind of book was Catseye’s favorite kind book. Catseye read that book over and over again for hours.
“Alright time to go to sleep!” Twilight called from down the hall.
“Okay! One more minute! I just got to the best part!” called Catseye. Twilight laughed a little and said
“I know some books are hard to stop reading but you have all the time in the world to read them. You don't however to make friends and spend time with your family.”
“Awe alright... I'll continue in the morning.”
Back on Halon, a strange box came into view. It crashed in the middle of the courtyard and the guards carefully went up to it. “Ugh, that’s the last time we do that again. Right Ms. Doo? Ms. Doo?” a strange voice said within the box. A guard ran off to tell the king. The captain of the guards came up to the box. He knocked 3 times, slow and clear. He put up his hoof telling his guard to get ready. The guards rushed to grab their swords. The box slowly opened. Out came a brown stallion. “Oh... you're not Ms. Doo...” said the brown stallion. A guard put his sword against the stallion's neck. “Hey! Hey! Whoa! What did I do? Oh is it my spaceship? Sorry I’ll just move it now…”. Another guard aimed a crossbow at his head. “Okay. not moving I guess...” he said, drawing out his syllables.
The king burst through the doors. “Where is he?” the King questioned..
“Where are our children? That's the question we should ask! Honey... please don't you care for Star Spirit and Catseye pearl?” begged the Queen.
“I do... but maybe this intruder took them. They guilty always come back to the sense of the crime.” sighed the king. The queen went back inside, worried about her children.
Chapter Six: Strange Events
Back at Ponyville, Star Spirit was playing with Flutter Shy and Angel Bunny. She flew with the birds and fell a couple times. “ you know Flutter Shy... I like this place...” said Star Spirit.
Flutter shy smiled and replied “Me too, I like to come here with my friends and have picnics, and watch the birds and deer...” Catseye and ditzy were flying and running around town calling for time turner. Little did they know, he was in big trouble with the royalty on Halon. Eventually they got to the meadow and saw Star Spirit and Flutter Shy playing and having fun. “
“Star Spirit! Have you seen a stallion named Time Turner?” asked Catseye.
“Huh? Oh, no I haven't. Why are you looking for him?” said Star Spirit. Catseye answered “Ditzy Doo here was traveling with him and she got lost. I'm trying to help her find him. Wanna join? I can explain more on the way.”
“Awe yeah man! An investigation! Like in those mystery novels Twilight urged me to read! Let’s go! Bye Flutter Shy. I had fun!” said Star Spirit enthusiastically. The girls giggled and ran off following ditzy.
Near Twilight's tree a tall blue box had suddenly came out of nowhere. Soon the door opened and a brown stallion strolled out of the box, whistling a tune none of them recognized. He saw two fillies walking along the path. Ditzy doo was also walking along with them. He waved to her. She waved back and flew towards him. Star Spirit watched as ditzy flew towards that stallion. “Hey Star, do you think we should just... leave her with him? I mean we don't even know if this is the right guy!” Catseye asked.
“Nah. Let’s just trust her. She know who's she’s looking for.” said Star Spirit. Catseye felt unsure. They were turning to go when they heard a noise. They turned around, and they box was gone. Star Spirit looked at Catseye and Catseye looked a t Star Spirit. “Was that who I think that was?” She asked.
“Yep. The one our parent's warned us about... but I thought he travels alone?” Catseye wondered aloud.
When they went inside Twilight's tree they looked up everything about pony history that they could. They found several things that mentioned something mysterious. In some pictures they could faintly see a blue box. “It was him. Catseye, I’m scared… he's going to take us back. I feel it, I don’t want to go back...” Star Spirit whispered to her sister.
“Hush. It's ok.. he’s not going to take us away... we just can't show ourselves to him or Ditzy... ok?” Catseye soothed, consoling her older sister. They heard a knock at the door and ran up to the balcony.
“Let’s hide here ok Catseye?” asked Star Spirit. “Yes... let’s think of this as one giant game of hide and seek. Okay?” said Catseye.
“Okay. Let’s the best at this game.” said Star Spirit.
Downstairs, Twilight opened the door. “Ah yes! Hello Ms. Sparkle! I was asking if you have seen two young, perhaps alicorn fillies? Their parents are very worried.” said the stallion.
“Oh, Hi Time Turner.” Twilight said, a startled expression on her face. “Um, well... I have been taking care of two fillies for a while but they said they er... didn't have parents. So I am trying to find them a home.”
The stallion grew suspicious. “Uh huh...may I have the pleasure of meeting these fine young foals?” asked the stallion. Twilight grew worried. They said they never wanted to go home. They were obviously from a different planet, but Time Turner wasn't. Or was he?
“Er… not right now maybe in the morning. They're fast asleep now and I don't wanna wake them. They have a big day of school tomorrow.”
“Oh then... maybe I can see them before they go to school?”
The two sisters crept down the stairs, watching Twilight talk to the ‘Time Turner’ Twilight had said. They ran across the way to another flight of stairs. They climbed up and ran into bed and pulled the covers over their heads and giggled. An hour later they were fast asleep in their beds. They both dreamed about the stallion and what he did to save but destroy their world.
In the morning the two sisters got up and ran downstairs. The first thing they saw was that stallion talking to twilight. They crept up the stairs but unfortunately one of the stairs started to squeak. Twilight turned her head and said “good morning girls. This is time turner. I think he's going to help you err... find a home.” twilight said winking. Catseye ran up to the stallion and yelled at him “we are going nowhere with you!!!” then she ran back to her sister. They stared at him, petrified for a few seconds. then they ran out the front door not thinking about what they were doing.
Chapter Eight: The Time Lord Revealed
“Oh hello! You're the orphans flashlight is trying to find home for! You better get to safety. Something's going on... and I don't like it...” said time turner, the large grin on his face turning grim. The sisters looked at him scared.
They started to back away but Ditzy asked them “Wait! Why are you backing away from us? We’re friends. Okay maybe the TARDIS scared them a bit. We aren't aliens if you are thinking that, well I’m
not....” said Ditzy looking in the Doctor's general direction.
“I-I-it's not that... you're the pony that almost blew up our planet.... I was four then. Catseye only heard about you and I saw you... I’m that filly you saved in the castle, I’ve been afraid ever since…” said Star Spirit.
Catseye looked behind her a frightened expression on her face “Er-Star Spirit? we have company... it’s that shadow that followed us!”
Sure enough when they looked behind them, a shadow creature that was at least ten feet tall was standing there. “Run!” yelled Time Turner. The four ponies ran for their lives. “Quickly! In, in!” He was now at the cosole with everybody inside, pressing buttons and pulling levers they took off.
There was another pony in there. “Doctor... why has the room started shaking?” said the mysterious ginger unicorn in the back. “Well tick tock my friend, the vashta nerada apparently have made a physical form and is hunting this little white filly here. Tell me,” said time turner/the doctor, bending down, “do you have any special abilities or anything strange happened to you besides this?”
“Well... I have the dimensional scream....” said Catseye.
“Oh course, the only thing the time vortex gives in a hundred years! The dimensional scream! Tell me it is true you can see into the past, present or the future correct?” Asked Time Turner/the doctor excitedly.
“Doctor! Don't scare the filly!” Ditzy shouted at him.
“It's quite alright, I’m used to it. Daddy would yell all the time. Not at us but at the army stallions and mares. We had to watch some days.” explained Catseye. “
“Erm, what exactly should we call you. We heard that unicorn call you doctor. Or should we call you time turner?” Asked Star Spirit
“Well call me the doctor... that's not important! We got to stop this thing. It’s not a vashta nerada at all... the TARDIS is picking up some weird signal... coming from... the moon...? Why on Gali- Eart-Equestria would I be getting a signal from the moon? The doctor said, stuggling to remember which planet he was on. “Oh wait, never mind it's the castle. But why the castle, the moon would have been much more interesting.”
“Hold on tight every pony!” said the Doctor before breaking out in laughter.
“Why is he laughing?!” asked Star Spirit.
“He does this every time any pony says that! I think he's crazy sometimes!” said ditzy. The doctor started to laugh even louder.
“I too, find this matter most distressing.” Said the Ginger unicorn in the back, whose name they found out was Tick Tock. The TARDIS stopped rumbling.
The doctor stopped laughing “No, we haven't landed yet... what's wrong with you girl?” he rubbed
the Chameleon Circuit and the engine began to make a weird noise. Then it completely stopped.

Chapter Nine: We Now Bring You Your Scheduled Lessons
“Doctor, what's going on?” said a worried ditzy. The doctor ran around the console pressing buttons and pulling levers.
“Well, we’ve just stopped... but we haven't landed.... Oh I see the problem, I may have been pushing her too hard chasing after the Vashta Nerada. She's fine... after a couple of days we should be right back on track! We just need to let her settle down a bit.” he explained. After a bit of questioning and explaining what the TARDIS can do every on settled down, the girls started to run all around the TARDIS laughing and chasing each other.
While tick tock was researching something the girls accidently bumped into him. “Huh? Oh hello, and you are?” he asked.
“Well.. I’m princess Catseye pearl and this is my sister princess Star Spirit.” said Catseye.
“Well it's a pleasure to meet you.” said Tick Tock looking down and getting back to work. Catseye was amazed at his magic.
“Whoa! Can you show me how to do that? I can never do magic” asked Catseye slowly sinking into a sad sulky voice.
“Well... we have a few days... okay why not. First thing you need to learn is how to move things using magic.” said Tick Tock.
“Hey sis, I’m going to explore some more. I'll see you in a bit.” Star Spirit said running out of the room.
She kept running around and exploring until she got to Ditzy's room. She knocked once and waited to go in. the door opened and ditzy was smiling down at Star Spirit. “Oh! Hey Star ! Where are you going?” asked ditzy.
Star Spirit smiled “I was looking for you accually... I was wondering... can you show me how to fly?” ditzy was surprised. She never taught any pony how to fly.
“Well, I can give it a try....” said Ditzy, uncertainty scrolled all across her face. Star Spirit jumped for joy. She ran into Ditzy's room and Ditzy tried to teach her all she could.
In the console room the doctor was pacing around the console checking the monitor every five seconds. He switched it to the view of Ponyville. On the monitor there was fire and smoke everywhere. There were ponies enslaved. Bones of the un-enslaved ponies were scattered everywhere. “This is not the Vahsta Nerada... this is something different” He quietly wondered aloud.. He began to check on every pony else, he finally stumbled into Tick Tocks room. “Hey Tick Tock- what are you doing?” asked the doctor.
“I am attempting to teach this filly magic. That’s better, now control yourself and try and pick up the wrench.” said tick tock. Catseye took a deep breath and attempted to lift the wrench with her magic. Her magic was a pink color and she was doing quite well until she heard a crash coming from Ditzy’s room.
When they opened the door they saw Star Spirit and Ditzy crashed on the floor “Uhg.... well... you almost flew....” said Ditzy, dizzy. Star
Spirit laughed and said “Sorry about that, I’m not as good as you..” she flew once more around the room and, this time, she landed perfectly on top of Ditzy’s bed. Every pony stomped their hooves, but Catseye stomped the hardest. Catseye ran to grab a book she had been working on and asked if she could read it aloud. It was a romantic/mystery book she wrote by herself. When she was done she was surprised to see a heart and a rose shaped cutie mark of her flank. She hugged her sister happily. They suddenly heard a noise coming from the console room and the doctor ran to it.
Days had passed, the TARDIS was fixed and everyone was prepared to go and fight. When they were all geared up, armed with magic, wings, and strange technological devices, they gathered around the door of the little blue box.
“YES!!! let’s go save Equestria!” an excited Doctor yelled, laughing like a mad pony. They touched down in a blacken part of Ponyville.
“What happened...” said Star Spirit, in a daze at the destruction that had happened to the town she now called home. Catseye gasped as she saw Twilight's tree burnt to a crisp.
A unicorn in a black suit approached then. The unicorn looked at them and said “Follow me... the night division has gone too far... we need to get you somewhere safe.” Catseye looked at this strange pony with confusion.
“Who are you? Why are you dressed like a ninja?” she asked.
The pony stopped and turned, making no noise as she did so. “My name is Night Lock. I must take you to my friends, we can keep you safe...” the mare answered, and then walked toward a shabby little hut made out of blackened wood and whatever was left of the houses.
Catseye looked around scared. She hugged her sister and Star hugged her back. They heard a roar and saw what was left of the ponies living here run for cover. Night lock picked both of the fillies up with her magic and ran inside the hut with every pony else following. There was a mighty roar from outside and they heard gigantic footsteps pass. They stopped, then continued northwest.
“What was that....” said Star Spirit.
“That was the night division's toy, they call it shadow hold... that’s what they were trying to summon with that beam...” said a voice. All the ponies turned around and they heard a hissing noise like hot water hissing from a tea kettle. A hatch lifted up and out poked the head of a Pegasus pony. “quickly in... before he comes back.” the Pegasus said.
They all climbed down the ladder which was kind of hard judging from all the machines down there, and the fact that they had hooves. The Pegasus started to pull away some medical supplies and went to
treat one of the ponies sitting on the bed. Catseye went over to the Pegasus. She recognized one of the cutie marks right away
“Rainbow Dash! What happened?” Catseye asked, very surprised.
Dash's eyes slowly opened and she sat up. “Uhg... oh hey kid... I see you made it... that beast is crazy tough... tougher than me... Kale here helped me even though I don't need any help.” She said. Kale, the Pegasus from before walked over and gently pushed Dash back down.
“Rainbow... you need to stay resting... both of your wings are broken, your right foreleg is broken and you had a really severe concussion.”
Rainbow started resisting, but finally gave in, after having a medical shot to sedate her. Catseye stared at the top of the hatch. She tapped Star Spirit on the shoulder and told her to come on and they climbed up the hatch and out of the room. They ran all the way up to the castle where they planned to take care of the beast without the rest of the team. They needed to face this alone.
An hour later and a whole lot of hiding they had finally arrived at the castle. Catseye put her hoof on the walls and started to feel dizzy. She fell on the ground and Star Spirit helped her up.
“Dimensional Scream,” Star Spirit immediately responded, catching her sister.
Catseye saw a black smear turn into a unicorn with a purple coat saying, “come with me, I can take you home...” then she woke up.
“Catseye what did you see?” Star Spirit asked
Chapter five: The Pegasus Continuum
Catseye woke to a scream. “What?! Did a nuke go off?! Star Spirit!? Where are you?!” she yelled, finally seeing Star Spirit. Who evidently was still screaming..
Then she said “Look Catseye! I finally got it!” Catseye was amazed. It was Star Spirit cutie mark. It was a little shooting star. “I think I got it last night but I didn't notice it! Oh this is the best day ever!” Star Spirit said, hugging her sister. For the rest of the day she was beaming ear to ear. Catseye wasn't at all upset. She was in fact, really happy for her sister. This also inspired her to find her talent even more.
That same say they were walking around Ponyville playing, when they ran into a cyan Pegasus with a rainbow mane. “Oof! Huh? Oh sorry!” Catseye said to the Pegasus. “What? Oh that’s ok. Hey... you have wings... can you use them, huh kid?” the Pegasus ask. Now that they have been living in Ponyville for a while ponies have stopped staring at Cats eye’s wings.
Catseye buzzed them a bit. “Uhg... nope … sorry... I'm better at magic.” Catseye said. Then Catseye looked around. “Star Spirit?! Where did you go?” she yelled.
“Hey who are you lookin' for, kid?” said the Pegasus.
“My sister. Her name is Star Spirit. Have you seen her?”
“Yeah, actually, I think I did. Is she the alicorn with the yellow and black mane?” the Pegasus asked.
“Yes, did you see which way she went?” Catseye said.
The Pegasus though for a bit and then answered. “She went with Flutter Shy to go feed the birds. Oh I’m Rainbow Dash, if you didn't know. I'm waitin' here for the next daring do book. It's going...to...be... awesome!!!”
“Thank you Rainbow Dash!! Good luck getting your book!!” Catseye’s voice was growing quitter as she ran off, yelling over her shoulder.
Catseye was running for a while when she spotted a grey Pegasus crying. “Hey.. what’s wrong?” she asked.
“well...I was just traveling with my friend when all of a sudden I’m here and well.. my friend is nowhere... maybe even lost..” the Pegasus said.
“It’s okay, listen what is your name? What was your friend's name? We can find him... I’ll help you.” said Catseye.
“Well, my name is Ditzy Doo... most ponies call me Derpy Hooves though. My friend's name is the- I mean Time Turner.”
Chapter Seven: Chaos With the Crusaders
They ran all the way up to the Cutie Mark Crusaders’ clubhouse. “What’s the matter y'all?” asked Applebloom.
“Errm nothing... we just wanted to come up and said hi and asked what we are going to do to get our cutie marks, well Star Spirit already got hers so she can encourage us. Right sis?” said Catseye.
“Right.”
“Well, I wanna go see rainbow dash!” said Scootaloo.
“But we did that this morning Scootaloo.” squeaked Sweetiebelle.
“Well.. I wanna do it again!” continued Scootaloo.
“hey Star ... I noticed something... my dimensional scream isn't working like it's supposed to... accually for this last week... it hasn't been working at all... is it because he's here?” whispered Catseye.
“I don't know Catseye. I don't know. Something may be blocking it also...” said Catseye. Thunder rumbled outside of the clubhouse.
“whoa y'all! I think it's going to rain! We had better stay in the clubhouse until someone can get us.” said Applebloom. All the ponies in the clubhouse agreed. They heard laughter, then altogether the thunder stopped and the laugher stopped.
“Shh.... you hear that guys?” asked Sweetiebelle.
They listened and heard nothing. They looked out the window. They saw everything was in chaos. The girls were scared. “Sweetiebelle, Scootaloo, Applebloom… why is everything like this?” asked Catseye, with a small scared voice. She suddenly felt dizzy. “Star Spirit.... it's happening...” whispered Catseye.
“What do you see? Hurry before it fades!” Urged Star Spirit. Catseye saw fire. All the ponies were running, then darkness, she heard a laugh, then she saw a black shape. It said “Come with me...” it echoed around then she saw a light and she was in Star Spirit’s hooves. “Catseye... you ok? What do you see?” she kept saying.
“I saw him... he said come with me... come with me. Why would he want us to come with him...?” Catseye said.
They ran out without thinking. Applebloom kept calling come back but they wouldn't listen. They ran right out of the Sweet Apple Orchard. Everywhere they looked, they saw chaos. They ran down to the town to see if every pony was ok. There were screams Everywhere, they couldn't see Twilight anywhere, nor the others. They weren't watching where they were going and bumped right into ditzy.
“Oof! Oh, I’m so s- ditzy? Oh hello again! Do you know what’s going on?” Catseye yelled, over the screaming and through her heavy breath. “Discord has broken out again, only he's not Discord! He looks different he's blacker and more set of burning the town.” Ditzy Explained.
A brown stallion cam galloping up to them, “Ditzy! We have to go now! I need to see what’s happening! Come on!” he said, as Star Spirit hid behind Catseye.
Chapter 10: The Final Fight.
“I saw a purple unicorn... not twilight though. She wasn't facing me this time but, facing left, and, well, that’s all. But she said 'come with me, I can take you home...' What does that mean?” Catseye asked. Star Spirit shrugged.
They entered the ruined castle and found themselves snout to snout with the sleeping beast. Catseye charged her horn and shot a powerful beam out of it, strong enough to blind the sleeping beast. It woke suddenly and roared with pain. It swung it claws wildly hoping to hit one of the fillies. Star Spirit flew up and started to shout things in the creatures ears and eventually screeched so loud she made him temporally deaf. With every attack the fillies found themselves growing stronger and taller. Catseye kept attacking not noticing the change and found she was using new spells she didn’t know. Eventually they hit the creature in the heart, for the beast had a heart of shadow. He knew nothing but chaos. The beast fell with a deafening thump on the ground. Star Spirit landed and a patch of color came back to the ruined castle.
It spread until it got to the ends of Equestria. The ponies of the land rejoiced. Catseye was saddened by what had happened. She blinked and saw a blinding light. Star Spirit looked around. They were home. Back on Halon, alone.
Then the castle gates sprung open and the kind and queen ran out. Star Spirit flung her wings out.
“will never go home, this planet is boring compared to Equestria… I want to be there, with Twilight Sparkle and Flutter Shy and Pinkie Pie. We want to be there, not here...” Star Spirit said with a tear rolling down her cheek. Her mother cried as well, her father sighed.
“Listen Star, we need to talk about that planet...” her father started
“NO! WE ARE GOING BACK! WE ARE OLD ENOUGH TO DO WHAT WE LIKE!” Catseye screamed at her mother and father. Their parents backed away. Catseye horn glowed and she made a portal back to Equestria. “Come on. Star, let’s go.” She turned her back to her parents and stepped through the portal without looking back. Star Spirit followed without another glance.
That is the end of Star Spirit’s and Cats eye’s tale... maybe soon will another monster threaten Equestria... Until then... look out for shadow hold. We haven't seen the last of him.....
