Nightmare at the Gala!

The crowds cheering dies down as Celestia has one more surprise for Fluttershy. "If I don't recall earlier, Fluttershy wished for her friends to be here. Well that's exactly what I was hoping she'd wish for! I took the liberty of hanging a few banners." She uses her horn to drop six of seven banners, all hanging on the castle. "Rarity, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, and Twilight Sparkle, The Mane Six. One more banner drops, all six of their cutie marks are on it. "No matter what happens here on out, Flutterhy's friends will always be with her. Fluttershy can't help but smile. "Now we should get this party started." Celestia says as she nods to Vinyl Scratch.

.. Please click on this song as I chose to put this in the story. This song is so amazing, so please read this chapter while listening to Dj Pon3! Thanks.) As the music plays throughout Canterlot, Fluttershy looks up at the banners and smiles once again. "Celestia's right, they will always be with me." She looks over the balcony and inot the night. "I am now a princess, I run Equestria with Celestia now. I am responsible for raising the moon. Not Luna... me. This is your new life, and it all started at Sweet Apple Acres 19 days ago. It's amazing how so much can happen in that time period, how many ponies you've known, all had their lives cut short by another Princess... Or was it? Oh Big Mac, now you have me wondering." A pony slowly approaches her. "Wow, what you just said was amazing." Fluttershy quickly turns around to see Spitfire with a backpack on her. "I didn't mean to disturb you," she kneels down, "your heiness."

"I suppose it's too late now." says Spitfire. "Too late for what?" asks Fluttershy. "I didn't know Rainbow Dash died until I got here for the celebration. I'm so devastated because I had a surprise for her." She opens her backpack to reveal goggles and a Wonderbolts suit. "Keep this, in memory of Rainbow Dash. The best flyer in Equestria." "You wanted her to be in your group?" asks Fluttershy, shocked. "Think of it this way, Rainbow Dash has been a long alternative for the Wonderbolts, and now that Soarin dead and Fleetfoot having amnesia, that narrows it down to 3 members, and Rainbow Dash was the perfect choice as a new member." Fluttershy takes the equipment. "Thank you so much Spitfire." Spitfire kneels down once more and flies off the balcony and back into the crowd. Fluttershy goes to the crowd shortly after and stops in front of Celestia. "Now that I'm a princess... does that make Canterlot my new home?" Celestia thinks about it for a moment. "Well, technically, yes. But, this is your decision Fluttershy. If you want to stay in Ponyville, that's okay with me. You can even do both and move here sometime in the future!" "I'll think about it, thanks!" says Fluttershy. She flies inside the castle and goes into Luna's room. "I'm assuming this is where Celestia would want me to stay." she says to herself. She practices her magic by herself while deciding on where she wants to live. When she finished, she flies back outside to see that more than half of the crowd has already left. "Where did everypony go?" Celestia walks towards her. "It's been like this for a while, what were you doing inside?" "I...I was practicing my magic in Luna's room.." Celestia laughs. "I thought so! Time really does go fast when you're practicing magic." "It really does... so I've decided to stay in Ponyville, it feels right for me." Celestia nods. "Whatever you choose is fine by me Fluttershy." Fluttershy looks up at the moon, ending a pretty good night, for the most part.

Yet another time change!

The day is now New Years Eve, 2013. Fluttershy wakes up to the sound of a beige bunny trying to wake her up. "Good morning, Angel!" She gets up and smiles at her new bunny. "Oh, you're so cute, just like my old bunny. I suppose you want breakfast?" Angel shakes her head 'No' and runs up to the her front window. Big Mac is standing outside, scared out of his mind. Fluttershy walks into the calm winter morning. "Big Mac, what's wrong? What are you doing out here?" Big Mac looks both ways twice. "It's back! The murderer is back! It tried to kill Granny Smith last night!" "You mean the second murderer?" "yes Fluttershy! The one that tried to kill Celestia." Fluttershy ponders at the thought when a sound is heard from inside her cottage. Big Mac kicks the door open. "Who's there?!" They close the door behind them. Angel is curled up on the floor shaking in fear. "Angel! What happened?!" Fluttershy asks, Angel points across the room to a knife and imitates somepony attempting to slice her throat. Fluttershy looks up at Big Mac. "Somepony tried to kill Angel the same way they did on Halloween." Angel runs to the door and spots a note on it. Fluttershy takes the note, it reads: "Canterlot Gardens. Tomorrow. Meet me there. 12:00 Noon. Bring nopony else but you and your little detective friend." Big mac reads it as well. "Do you think we should go?" "I'm not sure..." says Fluttershy. "Isn't it weird that somepony wants to meet us anonymously?" Big Mac asks. "Yeah... I guess they wanna start off 2014 with a fight... and I'll give them a fight. says Fluttershy.
