The Search

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

The castle was quiet Luna and Celestia had tucked in Eclipse and Comet Tails into bed.

"They are so precious when they sleep. Don't you agree Tia?" Luna asked.

"Yes. I know they will grow up into wonderful Princesses." Celestia said smiling. They walked quietly out of the room. Closing the door gently. Both of the royal sisters climbed into bed and fell asleep instantly.

The sound of breaking glass awoke Luna.

"The Babies!" Luna cried running out of the room. She burst into the room finding both cradles hand been knocked over. She ran up the them and looked inside but both off the young ones have been taken. "Celestia!" she called running to her room. Celestia woke up and saw the panicked look on her sisters face.

"What is it Luna?" She asked.

"Comet Tails and Eclipse are gone." Luna shouted. Celestia shot up and ran to the room to see if luna was correct.

"Guards sound the alarm! No one enters or leaves this castle. All the rooms were searched, and the yards were inspected but there was not a single trace of the little princesses. The guards told the distressed mothers the bad news.

"No they must be somewhere!" Luna said still crying.

"We will find them. Send word out through Equestria. Our loyal subjects will help." Celestia said trying to keep herself from crying. The guards bowed and galloped off. Celestia turn to her sister who was holding on of Comet Tails stuffed animals. Her sister hugged her and broke down. They both hoped that their daughters were okay.

In Ponyville, Twilight was awoken by a knock on her door.

"Now who in the name of Celestia could that be?" She asked as she slowly climbed down stairs. She opened the door to find two members of the royal guard. They bowed.

"Princess Twilight. We are here to deliver some distressing news." One of them said.

"Yes what is it what's happened?" She asked curious.

"The young princesses have been kidnapped." Twilight gasped.

"Thank you for informing me of this, I'll start a search here in Ponyville." She galloped out and headed for Rarity's. She knocked on the door. She saw the light to her window turned on. A few moments later Rarity was standing in front of her. Her purple main was a mess. "Rarity the baby princesses have been kid napped." Twilight explained. That seemed to wake Rarity up instantly her eye shot wide opened.

"What? oh dear. I'll come help." Rarity said levitating a robe on herself.

"I'll help too." Sweetie bell said.

"Oh no you're not Sweetie I need you to stay here. We don't need to lose another child." Rarity said looking down at her sister.

"Okay Fine." Sweetie said disappointed. Rarity galloped to Pinkie Pie with Twilight. Pinkie Pie was still awake when they got there. She immediately ran out with them.

"I'll get Rainbow Dash, and Meet you at Apple Jacks." Pinkie Pie said dashing off.

"Rarity go get FlutterShy, I'll meet you there." Twilight said. Rarity didn't argue and ran off towards Fluttershy's cottage. Around half an hour later they all were in the fields.

"We better tell Mayor Mare in the morning. If we don't find them tonight." Apple Jack suggested.

"Oh I just don't understand who would want to take those little fillies." Fluttershy said as they walked off in search.

"I don't know either but who ever took them must have thought the princesses couldn't do a good Job." Twilight said worried.

"Just wait till I find out who did this. I'll teach them a hard lesson." Rainbow Dash threatened flying just above her friends.

"Rainbow Dash! Always so violent. However in this case I suppose that will be acceptable." Rarity agreed.

"I just hope the young princesses are okay." Pinkie Pie said sadly.

"I can't imagine how the Princesses are taken it, to have their daughters taken in the middle of the night." Apple Jack spoke out. "That kind of worrying could break a pony into pieces."

"What if we never find them?" Rainbow inquired.

"We must stay positive." Twilight said. "We will find them" They searched through the night and into the morning soon they returned to Ponyville to find the town searching.

"Did you find anything?" Mayor Mare asked.

"We looked all over Sweet Apple Acers, there was no sign of them." Rainbow said landing tiredly on a cloud.

"I checked by around my cottage and in the animals homes too, but couldn't find anything." Fluttershy told her.

"Has Any other town found them?" Twilight asked.

"All of Equestria has been searching, but so far no pony has found them." Spike explained. "Even Shining Armor and Princess Cadence have all of the Crystal Ponies looking for them as well."

"Something has to turn up eventually." Pinkie Pie said slightly cheerful. "The Guards have been order to search every house."

"I should have stayed in Canterlot. I'm a failure as a god mother." Twilight said sadly.

"Oh sugar cube this isn't your fault." Apple Jack comported Twilight.

"I know but I could have done something." Twilight said disappointed in herself.

"Listen Twilight. I am sure the fillies will show up." Rainbow Dash informed her. "All of Equestria is looking for the little daughter's of Princess Luna And Princess Celestia.

"Yeah, I'm positive those fillies will be found any minute." Pinkie Pie stated Optimistically. But the minutes turned into hours. Hours dragged into Days. Days slowly became weeks. Weeks became months. Months develop into a year, and Equestria still couldn't find a hint as to where there princesses could be. Eventually Celestia had to call off the search. She knew her subjects were exhausted, and she could let her subjects continue.

Many ponies kept a look out for the little fillies but despite that, The little Princesses were nowhere to be found. Twilight felt terrible. She was one of the few who still looked for them, but soon she gave up too. In honor of their children every year on the day of their birth Luna and Celestia made an eclipse and had two comets fly by eachother. Hoping they would be found.
