The Guests

The luggage set a Blaze of a mess across the tallest tower's floor . Among the carnage of the magically hatched bags were a sprawled happily married Alicorn by the name of Princess  Cadence mi amore cadenza , callapsed by the stress of the trip and a highly decorated unicorn royal guard Shining Armour , Cadence's husband . Shining Armour ascended from the floor guiding himself to the nearest window overlooking Canterlot , he stared down at his well familer home his eyes scanned depicting locations that held signifigent memories from when he was younger , such as the moment he looked up to two guards that stood tall,proud, and loyal infront of the gates of the castle , who would give thier lives in a second to protect not only the princesses but the land of Equestria in general . This to Shining Armour was the greatest honor anypony could have , which brought his eyes to the next location of interest the barracks where he learned not anypony can be a royal guard or even just the average city guard you'd see everyday while galloping along in the downtown Canterlot  area  . you couldn't just have bron to be a city guard , you needed brain an exceding one too luckily for Shining Armour he was a quick thinker and great at catching on to new things , but a royal guard you needed an everlasting loyalty and a heart willing to acomplish what others might fear is impossible . Its still a mystery what he showed that most other ponies didnt that got him this far . Now that he resides in the crystal empire with his lovely wife Cadence he couldnt ignore the abarrent feeling it gave him while living there , sure a change in scenery is nice once in while but everything looks different , crystals here crystals there crystals everywhere thankfully the town itself wasn't made of crystals just the castle and only the eyes of the residents resemble crystals . "Is everything alright" Cadence spoke up after contemplating whether she should or not from him making facial expessions that seemed say he was talking to himself through physical movement . He shook his head his mane following closely behind , Cadence lifted her head Cadence's long mane not completley absolving from the impertinent contents of  luggage . "nothing just reminiscing" He replied honestly with an exhale , she wanted  to go into a full fledged conversation about if he liked living at the crystal empire but her energy inclined her not to continoue the avoidable topic . "Alright darling" she exhausted , Cadence callapsed back into the debree of detailed hoove made dresses suits and hats so carefully created that not even the rich had access to , much more than needed for a three day visit . An often packing amount for royalty which in this case was a first for Shining and Cadence they had no idea what to bring for a visit back to Canterlot . Sure Cadence visited many places considering her Alicorn status such as Manehattan for theatre or Cloudsdale to witness the heartpounding Wonderbolt durbies and even Las Pegasus with other friends of royalty who acted not as such at many Scratch Shacks , though anypony would probably stray a little bit from the norm after any sence of hearing was renderd useless from the bahemoth noise eminating from DJ PON3s subwuffer . A smile spread across Cadence`s face  "how about we visit the garden" Shining Armour replied with an auspicouse nod

I've lost my Marbles

Marbles was a introverted purple unicorn unicorn with a mane of aqua laced in dark blue completed by two blue and red bows , though the thing that spoke the loudest about Marbles was her eyes two beautifully mismatched colored eyes one an enchanting blue the other  a embracing yellow . Any conversation she had those two points of interest was what locked the listeners attention , that's not to say she didn't have anything interesting to talk about , the opposite was exactly correct though she was young she could easily tell a joke that was funny not because of how adorable it was but because the joke was legitimately funny unfortunatley the moment at hoove was not the time to smile . This was undeniably the worst day ever for Marbles nothing could compare not even the day Discord spread chaos  across Equestria driving every pony insane , no not even that . Princess Twilight Sparkle guided the Aqua maned filly down the detailed Canterlot castle hallway abundant with windows of skillfully crafted art that sat upon the windows consisting of the elaberation important prophecies and events in Equestria's history such as the returned to seek revenge as Nightmare Moon and the moment she returned to her sister Celestia as Luna along with ones lost over the many years . Marbles couldn't lift her eyes from the seemingly endless red carpet lying across the floor gleaming from the early sunrise . why am i here ,why am i not warm at home relieved my parents have returned asking "WHY , WHY were you gone so long ,WHY were you gone for so long" Marbles pondered . Marble worse than before crying she paused mid step then slammed her hoove  "WHY , YOU'RE A PRINCESS WHY couldn't you . . ." she choked on the words she was deperate to say "do anything" !?Twilight spun around at first feeling hurt , but she agreed with her rage Twilight even now was still angered and baffled by her inability to find Marbles parents it should 've only been an hour to find them and most of it was traveling to her parents location . But Twilight had no sense of direction for the whole night , it's not that Twilight thought of this as a game but she was really starting to hope this another one of Celestia's tests "I don't know for the first time i just don't know I went through all my books  we even consulted Zacora , she didn't even have some of her typical meaningless mumbo jumbo to say" . Twilight felt ill from admitting a lack of knowledge , Twilight took a deep breath "but that is why we're here to consult Celestia " she smiled reassuringly . Twilight lifted Marbles tear drenched face with her hoove "if anypony will Know what to do it's her" Twilight added . "Are you sure" Marbles whimperd "I'm positive" Twilight replied with a slight excitement in her voice , as they continued towards the enormous finely crafted door , that had lead Twilight and her friends on adventures many times before . Magic engulfed the great door as Twilight swung it open revealing the throne room that eminated greatness from every corner.
