The Secret Alicorn

Rainbow Shimmer yawned. Coronation Day was here. She noticed her purple and blue mane and tail was flowing. Once at her castle room, she slipped on her tiara, with the symbol of every Element of Harmony on it. Once, before Twilight and her friends controlled them, she was their master. But at the top was a lightning bolt similar to Rainbow Dash's-except there was only one pink one on the background of a golden tiara.

Then, she slipped on her princess 'necklace' and shoes. And lastly, her dress. She didn't care about all this princessy stuff. She sighed-this is not what she wanted.

"Don't let them in. Don't let them see. Be the good mare you always have to be." she sang to herself, "Conceal. Don't feel. Put on a show...make one wrong move and everyone will know... But it's only for today. It's agony to wait..."

Rainbow Shimmer walked to the door. This was it. Using her horn, a half cyan half purple glow appeared.

"Tell the guards to open up...the gates!" Rainbow Shimmer stepped out, and slowly walked to the castle ballroom, where everypony was.

"Your highness." A purple unicorn walked up and bowed, the looked up surprise. "Rainbow Shimmer!!"

"Yeah," Rainbow Shimmer sighed. "I'm a princess."

"ALICORN PARTY!" Pinkie Pie screamed.

Bells then rung. Rainbow Shimmer ran into the coronation room. Everypony sat down, with the main six in the front row.

Ponies started to sing. Rainbow Shimmer stood there in her long purple dress with a blue cloak. She stood and smiled. Fake smiled.

"I crown you... Princess Rainbow Shimmer of Equestria!" Princess Celestia announced. Next came a...PARTY!

During the party, a pony announced her, and then the Elements of Harmony next. Nopony talked. There were lots of introductions, though.

"What is that smell?!" Pinkie screamed. "CHOCOLATE?!!?" She ran off in search of some chocolate.

"Why didn't you tell us?" Applejack asked, frowning.

"Tell what?" Rainbow Shimmer asked sarcastically.

"You know what!" Rarity rolled her eyes."Princess!"

"I can't tell you." Rainbow Shimmer answered.

"Why?!" demanded Rainbow Dash. "You're our FRIEND!"

"I just can't!" Rainbow Shimmer sighed. She started to walk out. "Close the gates. This party is over."

"Wait! Rainbow Shimmer. No, no." Twilight grabbed Rainbow Shimmer's shoe as she lifted her foot.

"Twi! Give me my glove!!" Rainbow Shimmer tried to snatch it back, but it was unsuccessful.

"Please! I want to know too!" insisted Rainbow Dash.

"I can't tell you." Rainbow Shimmer started to slowly walk away.

"What did we ever do to you?!" Fluttershy quietly asked.

"Enough, guys..." Rainbow Shimmer warned.

"No. Why? Why do you keep secrets from us? From the world?! What are you so afraid of?!" Rainbow Dash stepped forward.

"I SAID ENOUGH!" Rainbow Shimmer's hoof flew through the air, making it an ice skate rink of Cloudsdale. She ran out the door.

"Rainbow Shimmer..." She could hear the ponies' voices debating weather she was a monster or not.

Ponies mobbed her outside. Pegasi, unicorns, Earth ponies..everypony. Some asked if she was okay.

"No, no!" Rainbow Shimmer's hoof hit a water fountain. Everypony backed away, and she ran. She hit Equestria's ground, and Twilight Sparkle and her friends teleported down.

"NO!" they called. "STOP!"

But Rainbow Shimmer continued to run. Once her hoof touched the on-ground river, it hardened into ice. She ran as fast as she could, and up towards the plains north of the Crystal Empire.. She didn't care what they did anymore, the secret was revealed. Slowly waling up the mountain later, she sang:

"The snow glows white on the plains tonight,

Not a hoof print to be seen.

A kingdom of isolation,

And it looks like, I'm it's queen.

The wind is calm,

Unlike the swirling storm inside.

Couldn't keep it in, Tia knows I tried...

Don't let them in!

Don't let them see.

Be the good mare you always have to be!

Conceal,

Don't feel,

Don't let it show....

And now they know!

Let it go, let it go!

Can't hold it back anymore.

Let it go, let it go!

Turn away and slam that door!

I don't care

What they're going to say.

Let the storm rage on...

The cold never bothered me anyway.

It's funny how some distance

Makes everything seem small

And the fears that controlled me

Can't get to me at all!

It's time to see what I can do.

To test the limits and break through!

No right, no wrong, no rules for me!!!

I'm free!!

Let it go, let it go!

I am one with the ground and sky!

Let it g, let it go!

You'll never see me cry!

Here I stand,

And here I say!

Let the storm rage on...........

My power flows into the air and to the ground!

My soul is spiraling in frozen fractals all around!

And one thought crystallizes like an icy blast!

I'm never going back!

The past is in the past!!!

Let it go, let it go!

I will rise like the morning sun

Let it go, let it go!

What's done is really done!

Here I Stand,

In the light of day!!!

Let the storm rage on!!

The old never bothered me anyways."

Along with a "FABULOUS NEW SONG!!!" as Rarity might say, she built a beautiful ice castle. Prettier than the Crystal Empire castle. More sparkly, taller, and with a bigger balcony. She was also wearing a long purple dress with a cyan cape.

And Rainbow Shimmer was happy-she was alone, but she was free.
