Princess Amity

Four weeks after Amity's outburst, early in the morning of a Friday, Celestia is sitting in front of a mirror combing her hair with a brush being held by her magic. She places the comb on the counter and wears her crown on her head. She looks at a picture to her left which shows her wearing a straw hat and sunglasses and beside her is Amity at 14 years old wearing braces and an orange swim suit with a white flower pattern at a beach.

Celestia smiles at the picture and says aloud, "Amity, how much you've grown. It only seems like yesterday we were there."

Then, a knock on her bedroom door catches her attention, approaches the door, and opens it to see her unicorn assistant with a clipboard and pen in her right hoof. The assistant says, "I'm here, Your Majesty."

The princess interrupts by whispering, "Sh. You'll wake up Amity. Her room is close to mine. Come inside my room and we'll talk." The unicorn enters Celestia's bedroom quietly, and Celestia closes and locks the door. She continues in a slightly louder tone, "We can’t let her know about this. Also, tell all of the guards, maids, chefs, and any pony else you can get to not let her go into the dining room." Her assistant nods and with her magic lifts the pen and prepares to write, and the princess says, "Now, this is what I was thinking..."

Just down the hall is Amity’s room which is shut and locked from the inside. Inside the room, the young princess is on her back fast asleep on a queen size bed. Her mouth is wide open making faint snores, and her sheets are only covering her legs and waist. As she sleeps, she dreams she is walking down the streets of Canterlot with her friends Vanilla and Evening. All three are wearing highly expensive clothing, jewelry, and other accessories. The three walk into a random clothing store and grab various clothing such as shirts, pants, and dresses off the shelves and hangers and quickly try them on and take them off. Then the friends leave the store with all of the clothing they tried on in bags that around their necks, back, waist, and hooves. Suddenly, all three come to a halt and stare at three tall, muscular, handsome Earth stallions who give the three teens flirtatious smiles. The group smiles and let their jaws hit the concrete floor, and their eyes grow at a cartoonish size. The teenagers breathe heavily as the three stallions approach them. Amity looks at her friends who each take one of the stallions, and each pair enter in a small room that spontaneously appears in front of them, and each of her friends with their stallion enter the room and closes the door which has a sign that says "Whoopee Room". The princess hears her friends moaning loudly from the rooms. With an excited, flirtatious expression, she turns back to the attractive stallion, but instead of the stallion, a slightly taller dark blue alicorn with a long flowing blue mane stands in front of her with a smile.

"You're lucky I'm not telling your mom about this," the blue alicorn says to her. Amity is shocked by the alicorn appearing before her and backs away quickly, but then she feels something hard against her bottom and stops as soon as she feels it.

"No way," a deep male voice behind her says. "There is no way you will be with a stallion like him."

Amity recognizes the voice and slowly turns her head to see a massively tall, muscular, red alicorn who stares down at her with his eyebrows raised high. She backs away from him and looks at the two alicorns intensely and asks, "How are you two?"

"Why, Amity," the blue alicorn replies, “don't you remember us?"

Amity observes the two more carefully and recognizes their cutie marks which the blue alicorn's cutie mark is the moon and the red alicorn's mark is a golden crown. She relaxes; widens her pupils, and responds in a shocked tone, "Aunt Luna? Dad?"

The two alicorns nod their heads simultaneously, and Amity instantly forms tears in her eyes, runs up and hugs them tightly, and the two alicorns hug her back tightly as well. Amity then breaks up the hug and asks her aunt, "Aunt Luna, I thought you were banished to the moon." She turns to her father and asks, "Dad, I thought you had to stay at the Ancient City.”

Luna answers in a gentle voice, "When your mother raised the moon earlier, she used a powerful old spell to contact my alter ego Nightmare Moon in spirit form instead of meeting physically for safety reasons. Long story short, she granted me one night to talk to you in your dream before you wake up."

"Wait,” Amity asks, "this is all a dream?"

"Yes, my niece," Luna answers. "Even if this is a dream, it is still wonderful to see you again, and I can say that for the both of us. Right, Amyas?"

She turns to see Amity's father staring at his daughter with a big smile on his face and widened eyes. He and Amity look eyes, and he says, "Amity, my little girl, it’s been so long since I have seen you."

Amity almost cries but holds back to ask him, "Daddy, how come you're here?"

Amyas answers, "Well, your aunt contacted me in my dream."

Luna then says, "After I and my sister negotiated about this, I proposed the idea on bringing him here for you, and Celestia agreed and gave me my power to go into his dream and connect both of your dreams together."

"Tell me," Amyas continues, "how do you feel about this surprise?"

Amity with a joyous expression answers, "This is...unbelievable. There aren't words to describe how I feel. I missed you two so much. I wish this was real."

Her father responds, "Don't fret. One day we will all be together again. It takes patience." Then, the environment all around the three alicorns slowly start turning black. "Is it already done?" Amyas asks Luna.

The princess of the moon answers, "I'm afraid so. You are waking up Amity. This is all the time we have with you."

"No," Amity replies with tears slowly streaking down her face. "Please no. You just got here."

Luna explains, "Celestia fears that if I have too much freedom such as this, I would turn into Nightmare Moon and somehow escape. Even if I did, I made deal with her and I must keep my side of it. I must return to the moon, and Amyas must return to his dreams."

Amity closes her eyes causing more tears to run down. She approaches her aunt and hugs tightly, and does the same with her father crying harder and burying her head in his chest. "Daddy, please not leave me again! Stay, please!"

"I'm sorry," her father responds in a calm voice. "I can't but promise me and your aunt this: stay strong and never change who you are."

Luna then approaches the couple with a single tear down her left cheek and places her head on Amity’s left shoulder. Amity then says, "I promise. I love you both."

The world around the alicorns turns completely black with the group contrasting the blackness. Then, Luna and Amyas slowly fade into the black as well.

Amity opens her eyes to find herself on her bed. She sits up and looks around hoping to see her aunt and father but to no avail. However, instead of crying, she smiles and cross her arms across her chest as if she is hugging some pony, and she whispers to herself, "Good bye for now."

Several hours later, Amity wearing a graduation gown which covers her body and a cap stands at the edge of a white wooden stage which set up in the center of the same field where the last game of the school year was held weeks ago, and the stage is facing in front of a massive audience of ponies wearing formal attire. On the stage are the school principal, vice principal, school board, and Princess Celestia. All of the graduates expect for Amity have walked across the stage, received their diplomas from the principal, thanked all of the ponies on the stage, walked off, and stand on the other side of the field. Amity waits for her name to be called by the principal so she can repeat the, but the principal hands the diploma to Celestia and walks up to the very front of the stage.

"Now," Celestia says to the crowd, "the only alicorn in the entire graduation class, my daughter and the future of Equestria, Princess Amity!” The crowd spontaneously springs out of the stands and a roar of cheers erupts.

Amity with blushes dominating her face walks up to her mother. Celestia hands her the diploma and the two hug, and as soon as they hug, Amity whispers in her mom's ear without moving her lips, “Don't ever do this again! It's so embarrassing! “Celestia chuckles and breaks the hug for Amity to walk off.

About thirty minutes after the ceremony ended and celebrating with friends and fellow graduates, Amity and her friends return the gowns and caps in the school's main office where an assistant takes the graduation clothing. The group leaves the main office and waiting for them is Celestia. She says, “Congratulations, girls." Evening and Vanilla bow their heads before her and then raises them. "Evening and Vanilla, would you two like to come to the castle to celebrate?”

The pegasus and unicorn stare at each other with shocked faces and then look at Amity who has an excited expression with a gigantic smile and widened eyes and nodding her head frantically. The two friends then look back at Celestia and answer, "Yes!"

Celestia responds, "Excellent! You both can ride with Amity on her royal carriage. As soon as we arrive at the castle, just follow me." The group then exits through the school doors to see two massive golden carriages both with four white pegasi guards. Celestia walks and climbs on the carriages up front while Amity walks to the one behind her mother’s. Evening and Vanilla follow their alicorn friend and excitedly climb on the golden carriage and sit next to Amity who is between them. Celestia then says to all eight guards, "To the castle." The guards of her carriage pull with ease and take off into the air, and as soon as Celestia's carriage gets off the ground, the guards attached to Amity’s carriage pull as well and follow suit. As they head towards the castle. Amity’s friends look at the breath taking scenery below them making Amity chuckle.

She then says, "I know. It's...so...awesome!"

Only five minutes after leaving the school, the ponies arrive at the castle, and Amity and her friends step off the carriage and follow Celestia who has already entered the castle through two beautiful painted doors with golden edges. They catch up to the princess, and the unicorn and pegasus observe the amazing, massive interior design of the castle. Celestia takes them through the main hall and into the dining room where a long undecorated table is set up.

"Please take a spot," Celestia asks the group of friends as she sits at the table.  The younger ponies do as she asks.

They awkwardly sit for a minute until a male unicorn butler enters the room, bows his head, and asks the princess, "Is this the entire group, Your Majesty?” Celestia nods her head, and the servant replies, "Very well." He leaves the room politely without saying another word. Suddenly, a large number of maids, butlers, and chefs barge in giving all four ponies white napkins, glass cups, and golden plates in front of them. Amity’s friends are shocked by all of the servants and treatment they are receiving, but Celestia and Amity simply smile. Then, a cart with salads, steamed carrots, five star soups, and various other foods with steam eliminating from them enters the room.

Celestia looks at Amity’s friends who have excited faces and asks, "Surprised?”

"Yes, ma'am," Evening answers.

"Thank you so much, Your Highness,” Vanilla also answers.

Celestia chuckles and looks at Amity who has a smile and asks, "Well, Amity? Are you surprised?"

"Kind of," Amity responds, "but you do this call the time." Celestia simply shrugs.

The four ponies eat dinner in the dining room and have a massive marble cake with vanilla and strawberry flavors and chocolate icing for dessert. After eating, the ponies talk, tell jokes, and play board games in the dining room for several hours. Eventually, the two friends have to leave the castle and the guards who pull Amity’s carriage take the two teens to their homes. As soon as they left, Amity immediately goes to her room, takes shower, and goes to bed while Celestia lowers the sun and raises the moon. However, instead of going to bed instantly, Celestia flies to Amity’s balcony and knock on the glass doors that lead to her room getting her attention. Amity in her bed hears the knocking and sees Celestia on her balcony with the moon brightly shining behind her. Amity stares at the moon with a gapping mouth and lets her mom in. Celestia enters and sits next to her and looks at the object as well.

"Beautiful, isn’t it?” Celestia asks.

Amity whispers, “Yeah."

"Amity," Celestia says, "since your friends have plans with their families this summer, do you want to go to Orange Beach?"

Her daughter darts her head at her mother and responds excitedly, "Yeah. I would love that."

"Glad to hear that, but..." Celestia replies, "I have royal duties throughout Equestria for two weeks. Once I finish, we’ll go, but you have to do something until then. "

"What?" Amity asks.

"You will go to Ponyville and stay with and learn from Miss Remedy. She is a behavior specialist and a master in magic. I asked her the other day to take you in and give you some training in magic and help with your behavior, specifically your anger."

Amity with a confused face asks, "What do you mean? I don’t…"

"What happened weeks ago," Celestia snaps. Amity then stops and makes an expression of shame.  "Look, I and your friends have already forgiven you, but we need to make sure this doesn't happen again. This isn't to punish you. It's to help you. Please take this seriously. It’ll be worth it and even fun."

Amity nods and says, “Okay. When will I go there?”

Celestia answers, “Tomorrow! Now, get to bed and have a goodnight.” Celestia exits her daughter’s bedroom leaving Amity speechless with a stunned expression.
