Mommy! Mommy! Mommy!

The mane six had chosen today to continue their clean up of the castle of the royal pony sisters. They had also chosen to be in pairs to do separate parts of the castle. The groups being Twilight and Fluttershy, Rainbow and Pinkie and lastly, Applejack and Rarity.

Twilight and Fluttershy walked around the library, looking at what they needed to clean in it. The shelves were all dusty and it was covered in spiders and snakes. Twilight walked passed on of the snakes and leap half a mile in the air, terrified of it. She even had to flap her wings so she didn't fall back down.

''Flutters, animals, get them out of here. First, them snakes...'' said Twilight to her fillyfriend, having a bit of a glaring contest with the snake, which had scared her.

''Alright, Twi. Come on, little guys.'' she called.

The snakes began following her, even the one which had scared Twilight. Once Flutters had clear out all of the spiders and snakes, was when Twilight flow back down. As she landed, she closed her wings and grabbed a feather duster with her magic. She slowly began cleaning the tables, of all the dust which had been laying dormant for 1000 years.

Fluttershy came back in, with a smile full of success. When she saw that Twilight had began work, she picked up a feather dusty and with her mouth, she began dusting the old book shelves which scattered the library.

As she dusty around the books, flapping her wings. Something shimmering caught her eye, she dusted over to it and dusted it off. It was revealed to be a pendent, shaped oddly like a book.

''Twi?''

''What is it, Flutters?''

''Can you come up here?'' Flutters asked.

Twilight blinked in confusion but flew up to Fluttershy.

''What?'' she asked.

''Look.'' Fluttershy grabbed the pendent and showed it to Twilight.

''A pendent?'' asked Twilight.

She gingerly touched the pendent and a light admitted from it. Fluttershy gasped and she dropped the pendent, which continued glowing even after hitting the ground with a thud. Suddenly, the light changed and something began morphing from it.

It looked like a foal!

And that what it became, when the light evaporated. The light vanished into the air, leaving behind a sleeping foal.

The foal appeared to have a light cream coat, much like Fluttershy's. Her mane shimmered as light coming in from the window hit it, showing it to be pink, with a single streak of purple running through it. The filly's eyes though shut, were a violet color. Also, coming out of the filly's mane was a stub, which could clearly be seen as a horn. Same with her back, there were wings. A alicorn foal!

''What...?'' muttered Fluttershy, flying down.

She picked up the baby alicorn, who began crying all of a sudden.

''Shh. It alright.'' she rocked the filly back to sleep.

Twilight also flew down, but with more shock then the basic confusion that Fluttershy felt. A filly, which appeared from the pendent and looked like a fusion between them was pretty weird. She realized something, where was the pendent?

Looking around for it, she heard a clatter and saw the pendent appear below the filly and Fluttershy, but this time with a string attached, meaning it had to be around the filly's neck a second ago.

''I need to do some research...'' mumbled Twilight, before glancing back at Fluttershy.

She blushed at the sight, Fluttershy was letting the foal nurse from her without hesitation.

''Flutters!?''

''Twilight...Be quiet, there's a foal here.'' said Fluttershy, calmly.

''Why are you letting it feed from you though?''

''She was hungry, and it were just instinct.'' said Fluttershy, in reply. She glanced back down at the nursing filly, with a smile.

''I'm gonna research it up, keep her quiet please.''

''Will do.''

Pinkie bounced through the massive corridors of the underground of the castle, they had been told to clean up the armory and the corridors. Rainbow walked behind her, looking around for dust.

''Hey, Dashie! Isn't this exciting?!''

''A bit, but come on, I don't want Twi on my back for not doing the work.''

''Don't you mean 'Pinkie' not 'Twi'?'' asked Pinkie, obviously not understanding what Rainbow meant.

''Ugh...''

''Hey, Dashie. Are rain droplets meant to be inside?''

''Droplets? Pinkie Pie, are you that...''

''But look!'' Pinkie cut her off, to show her what appeared to be a rain droplet pendent and even shoved it into Rainbow's hoof causing it to glow as the two mares touched it at the same time.

''Ah!'' yelled Pinkie, running off leaving Rainbow alone.

''Pinkie!'' yelled Rainbow.

Her eyes shifted from the dark corridor to the glowing thing on the floor. The light had morphed into a small foal which stopped glowing shortly after Rainbow spotted it.

The light left behind a cyan pegasus filly, wearing the raindrop pendent around her neck. The filly also appeared to have Pinkie's fluffy pink mane and blue eyes which added to the fact that she was giggling at the sight of the shocked Rainbow. On the filly's left hoof was a marking of a raindrop.

''Okay, random foal appearing from a light that erupted from a pendent...''

''DASHIE!'' came a yell. It was Pinkie, and it sounded sad and confused.

''Pinkie, where?''

Rainbow picked up the foal, almost instinctively but mostly cause she couldn't leave a filly alone, even if it was a bit weird. She ran through the corridor, trying to pinpoint where she had heard Pinkie's voice come from.

She passed a room, which contained the mare, causing her to backtrack and walk into the room. Pinkie was sat on the floor, crying as her mane was deflected. Clearly, she had gotten herself lost and was now worried.

''Pinkie?''

''Dashie?!'' cried Pinkie, turning around.

She latched herself onto Rainbow, crying out loud. She never even noticed the filly, which was sat on Rainbow's back.

''Shh, its alright, Pinkie. I'm here, cheer up.''

Rainbow mainly didn't wanna have to go through what she went through at Pinkie's surprise party. But to her relief, Pinkie's here poof back to normal pretty quickly but then Pinkie noticed the filly.

''I didn't know you were a mama, Dashie. And I wanted your first foal.'' She cried again but this time without deflection.

''No, I'm not a mama. I think this foal came from that pendent, see she's wearing it.''

Rainbow showed Pinkie, who nodded.

''I have a theory, though I need Twi to confirm it, I think when we touched it, our genes merged and created this foal. See she's a pegasus like me but has your hyperactivity.''

''You mean, I'm the co-parent of your first foal?''

''I would suppose but we need to find Twilight, and plus, even though this runt is giggling, I don't think we wanna be down here much longer.''

Pinkie nodded, and they made their way towards the staircase which led back to the main floor of the castle.

''Applejack!'' yelled Rarity.

She and Applejack had been chosen to clean the musical room, and to wipe the dust off of the instrument much to Rarity's displeasure. Applejack groaned and turned to face the marshmallow unicorn.

''What is it now, drama queen?'' asked Applejack, annoyed.

''Look, a pendent, prefect for my collection.'' said Rarity, before realizing what AJ had called her. ''I'm not a drama queen!''

''Is that it? And couldn't have fooled me. Now give it over, it's useless.''

Applejack reached out for the pendent, which was shaped like a musical note but the moment that both the mares were touching the pendent, it began shimmering and glowing, much like the ones before it. But unlike the others, not one foal was born.

No twins, though they were fraternal twins. One of the twins, the unicorn of the pair, had a orange coat with a long bluish-purple mane like Rarity's, though hers was more purple. She also had the apple family green eye color. While her twin, the earth pony, had a marshmallow white coat with a long, beautiful blonde mane and light blue eyes. Both of them were wearing almost identical pendents, though the earth pony had a double note while the unicorn had a single note.

''What, foals!?'' yelled the pair, only to glared at each other when they realized they had spoken in unison.

''I have a idea. We have to talk to Twi about this.''

''Good idea, though we have to carry them. Who takes who?''

''*Sign* I will take the unicorn, you take the earth pony.''

''Fine.''

The pair picked up the respective foal and walked out of the music room and towards the door to the library.

The groups met up in the library. Twilight was still searching through the books for one related to her pendent. A shrill cry came from around Fluttershy.

''Flutters, I told you to keep Bookworm quiet.''

''Bookworm, shh shh. It's alright.''

The couple had named their foal Bookworm due to the fact that she was born from a book pendent, which was now around the filly's neck again. Pinkie and Rainbow with their foal and Rarity and Applejack with the twins walked in and saw them.

''Looks like we're not the only one.'' said Fluttershy, looking at her flying fillyfriend.

''Yeah, and I think I found what I was looking for.'' yelled Twilight.

Twilight flew down with a book by the name of 'papillon' in her magic. She couldn't figure out why is was called the french word for butterfly but it didn't matter to much, it had information on the pendents.

The group of 7, which had walked in came over and showed Twilight, the three pendents that they had. Of course, two were formerly one.

''Well girls, it says here that there were once 3 pendents owned by 3 powerful ponies. The mares were earth, unicorn and pegasus respectfully. There pendents controlled a certain power. The earth pony's pendent, a musical note, could turn into any instrument at any time. The unicorn's pendent, a book, like mine and Fluttershy's, could make any book in the world appear in her hooves. And lastly, the pegasus's pendent was a raindrop, and it allowed her to create rain at any time it was needed. These mares were known as Papillon. And though there isn't much evidence, I believe that Bookworm here, and your foals are the reincarnation of the Papillon.''

''Uh, Twi. But there is four, the twins's pendents used to be one but it shaped itself into two.'' asked Applejack.

''Maybe because, Bookworm is a alicorn, it needed to keep a balance between the pony types. There wasn't any alicorns back then, it says as it was before Princess Celestia's and Luna's birth.'' Twilight explained.

''Oh yea, you called your filly, Bookworm? Sounds just like you, Twi.'' said Rainbow, with a smile to show that she wasn't being mean.

''Her pendent is the unicorn's book pendent so Bookworm made sense to me. What are you gonna name yours?''

There was crying heard again, but this time not from Bookworm but from the young unicorn.

''Ah, the earth pony hit her.'' said Rarity, looking worriedly at the young filly.

Rarity picked up the unicorn and slowly rocked her to calm her down.

''So what's the twins names gonna be?''

''Well, the unicorn could be named Melody, while this little one here could be called Harmony.''

''And how about we name ours, Pinkie Pie. Confetti Rain?''

''Confetti Rain! Confetti Rain! No, Rainy!'' yelled Pinkie, bouncing up and down.

''So Melody, Harmony and Confetti 'Rainy' Rain.'' asked Twilight.

''Yep.'' came the replies.

Twilight smiled, and with that everypony took their leave to start their new lives, starting with moving in of course.

Musical

Years had passed for the girls, and Rarity's and Applejack's lives were probably the most changed. Rarity had moved into the barn, of course after somehow merging her boutique with the barn, so that one of the entrances led into the main room of the former boutique.

The now five year old twins, who had yet to start school, were half close/half fighting which was weird. They appeared to have their off-days with each other, normally they were super close and if you saw one, the other probably wasn't to far away. But the off-days happened and they would be bickering a lot.

Melody had grown pretty staggering and was taller then Harmony, her mane was styled very much like her 'daddy' and she even had a cowboy hat, with a bow, thanks to her mommy. She loved bucking trees and playing the flute. She also always would were her note pendent even though she didn't know what it could do.

Harmony was pretty small for her age, though she was more mature then her sister and the feminine one of the twins. Her hair was normally styled so that a bit stuck out at the front, while the crest would style around her neck. She had developed a love in fashion, much like her mommy, to the point that she could sew dresses despite being a earth pony and she also played the tambourine. Like her sister, she would always were her pendent.

''Mommy!'' came a scream from the apple fields.

Rarity groaned, she knew exactly who it was. Harmony, her earth pony filly counterpart in personality. Was she really like that though?

She moved from her work and walked out of the boutique's door and walked over to the wailing filly. All the filly had was a bit of dirt on her perfectly white coat, which left Rarity wondering. How could a apple family member hate mud so much?

''Sweetie, the dirt is not gonna hurt you.'' said Rarity, despite the fact she hated mud herself. ''Now come along, we should get your a bath.''

''Okay, mommy.'' said the young earth pony.

The pair walked inside and upstairs to the bathroom, or what could be referred to as a bathroom. It was only a tub made of wood though what less could you expect of the apple family.

With her magic, Rarity helped Harmony into the tub. She realized then that their wasn't any water. She groaned and banged her hoof on the pipe which was used to bring rain water into the tub from a secret place they collected it in. Water began pouring into the tub yet drained out of another pipe which was at the bottom of the tub.

After scrubbing the filly clean of all mud, Rarity helped her daughter out with magic and the pair walked out of the bathroom.

''I just realized something, Harm. Where's your sister?''

''Mel? Or Apple Jewel?''

''You know which, Apple Jewel is still a foal.''

''Yeah yeah, I know. Fine, she's with daddy in the fields. How does she buck those trees anyway?''

''How should I know, it made my legs sore for a week.''

''Same here.'' groaned Harm. ''I'm gonna go check on Jewel.''

''Sure, I'll find your dad and get her back her.''

Harm nodded and ran off to the nursery, walking inside. The nursery was a small thing, with a single crib. Though there was a pile of toys in one corner, a bin in an another. The wallpaper was blue with a line of duckies running across it. Playing on the apple printed white carpet was a small filly, Jewel.

Jewel was a white unicorn with a blonde mane and green eyes so almost identical to her but with a horn and green eyes instead. The filly was playing with what appeared to be a live white mouse. Jewel, despite her name, was nothing like Rarity. She was so similar to Fluttershy that you would think that she was Flutter's instead of Rarity's.

''Hello, little one.''

The filly just cooed in response, unable to talk yet. Harm giggled but then jumped as the door opened unexpectedly to reveal Mel, and she looked annoyed.

''Ugh, Harm! What in equestria!? Why did you just leave when you were meant to be working!'' she yelled.

Even Harm groaned at this, it was clearly gonna be on of those bad days. Jewel watched as the two fillies began bickering about why Harm wasn't doing her bucking job and giggling.

''Ugh, the baby's giggling now.'' groaned Mel, before leaving, slamming the door shut with her magic.

Which only resulted in a loud bang, which scared Jewel and caused her to cry and for a piece of wood to dropped from the ceiling and onto Harm's head, messing her mane up.

''Ow...Goddammit, Mel. Why does today have to be one of those days.''

Rarity and Applejack walked in, having heard Jewel's crying from the lower parts of the barn. Rarity walked over to Jewel, and attempted to calm the young unicorn down while Applejack went over to Harm.

''Harm, why do you have a piece of wood on your head?''

''Cause Mel came in here, began yelling at me then slammed the door causing the ceiling to break and land on me.'' growled Harm, in annoyance.

Applejack signed, and shared a look with Rarity. Their foals were a pain in the neck at times, clearly.

Later that night though was a lot better.

Harmony and Melody shared one room as there was only three bedrooms, and one had been converted into a nursery. The twins room wasn't much, much like the nursery, it contained a wardrobe, two single beds and a carpet, but that was pretty much it.

Harm lay awake on her bed, with a bandage around her head from earlier. Mel hadn't come up yet, having to have to chat with her parents about what happened before. Though when she came up, her face only showed regret.

''Harm?''

''Yeah?''

''I'm sorry, I shouldn't have yelled, nor should I have slammed the door, I mean, you got hurt because of me.'' said Mel, her voice cracking at times.

''Ah, it's alright, Mel. You didn't mean it for starters and plus, I shouldn't have skipped out of chores.''

''Y-you forgive me then?'' asked Mel.

''Yep.''

The twins hugged each other with a smile planted on both their faces. Even though they fought, they were always make up before the end of the day which was good.

Library

Like the others, Fluttershy's and Twilight's life had changed. Fluttershy had moved out of her cottage, leaving it for the animals, and moved in with Twilight and Twilight's adoptive filly, Nyx to raise Bookworm.

Bookworm grow pretty tall but then again, that might have just been the alicorn genetics in her. At five, she was half the size of a now 12 year old Nyx. While she was a younger sister, she had become a older sister making her the middle child.

Her baby sister was a pegasus, much like her mom while her baby brother was a unicorn, much like her 'dad'. Her baby sister was called Thistle, which was a type of bird, and her baby brother was known as Whistle.

Thistle's appearance was of a doppleganger of Twilight just without the horn while Whistle's appearance drove from Fluttershy, just with a horn instead of wings. Despite them only being a year old, Thistle had developed a love in books, particularly bird related books. While Whistle developed a nervous and shy personality like Fluttershy, even to the point that he would whistle when he was nervous.

Bookworm was sat in the nursery of the large castle, reading a story book called StellaLuna to Thistle. Thistle was listening to it, while her brother had chosen to have his first magic surge, just to get out of his crib and to join his sisters on the carpet.

The bond between the 3 siblings was pretty strong, even without Nyx. Nyx just added to the bond and the four enjoyed being with each other.

''And the little bat joined her family in the night sky, the end.'' said Bookworm, finishing the story.

''More! More!'' yelled Thistle, causing Bookworm to giggle.

Thistle's wings flapped though she never flew, the doctor had said that when she was born, the wings were smaller then a normal fillies and colts' wings, and though there was a chance she could fly, there was also a very large chance that she won't.

''Alright, let me get another story. I'll be back.'' said Bookworm, with a smile.

She walked out of the room, and downstairs. The library was in the third door on the left in the throne room. She walked into the room, the library was about the same size as the Golden Oaks Library formerly was. And there was books upon books, the room which about 5 shelves into the air, with each shelve being 10 hooves tall. And Bookworm loved it.

She had definitely developed Twilight's love for books and studying. Though she loved animals. She was a true mix between her parents, she wasn't shy but she was studious. She loved animals but wasn't crazy about getting a assessment done.

Flapping her little wings, she rose into the air and went to the shelve full of animals books which was three shelves up and the opposite side of the door.  Looking for a book on bird, she glanced through and eventually spotted one.

Smiling, her horn lit up and the book rose off the shelve, wrapped in a beautiful purple glow. She flew back down to the ground, but messed her landing up and fell over.

''Ow!...'' she cried.

A cream pegasus flew in at that, her mother.

''Sweetie, what happened?''

''I was getting a book to read to the twins, and messed up my landing.''

''Oh, be careful please.'' said Fluttershy, before going to tend to the back yard where half of the animals which had lived at her old cottage stayed.

Bookworm got onto her hooves, carrying the book on her back, as she headed to the nursery where Thistle and Whistle was waiting. When she walked in, she was her 'father'.

''Papa?''

''Oh, hey, Bookworm. What you doing?''

''I got a book to read to Thistle and Whistle.''

''Oh alright.''

A whistle was heard, and they knew exactly where it came from. Whistle was whistling due to being nervous about what the book was about. Bookworm giggled and moved to sit on the carpet. When the twins were settled, she began reading with a smile.

First day at school

A year later, school was beginning for all the new 6 year old foals. Bookworm was the most worried, thinking about grades and such, not even bothered about friends. She ran around the circle library, 10 times before Thistle managed to calm her down. The two year old had been there for half a hour when her older sister bolted in.

''But what if I fail an exam? Daddy would get annoyed!'' she yelled.

''Bookie, don't worry yourself. Your 6, too young to be thinking about that.'' said Thistle with a smile, just as Whistle came in.

''*Whistle* Thistle, *Whistle* Where were you?''

''Oh Celestia. Do you ever stop whistling?'' asked Thistle, getting a bit annoyed.

She never got an answer, as Twilight, Fluttershy and Nyx walked in. The alicorn teen had her hair up in pigtails now, she had gotten bored of her headband and choose to have a change.

''Come on, you three. Nyx, you better head to middle school already.''

''Alright, mom. See ya.'' said Nyx with a smile.

The alicorn ran out of the room, so she could get to middle school. And the rest of the Sparkle/Shy siblings followed their parents, to get Bookworm to school.

They walked down the mud path, and were soon joined by two mares who they hadn't seen in years. Rarity and Applejack, with Mel, Harm and Jewel, who was sat on Applejack's back. The mane six had broken ways shortly after their first foals were born, for no true reason.

''Twilight! Fluttershy!'' yelled Rarity.

''Ah, Rarity! And Applejack.''

''Howdy.'' said Applejack.

''Your foals are gonna be in school now?''

''Yep, first day. Is it the same with Bookworm?''

''Yep, and she's more nervous then our youngest and only colt, Whistle.''

''Oh, how many foals do ya have now, Twi?'' asked Applejack.

''4, with Bookworm being the second oldest. Whistle and Thistle, here are our two year old twins.'' said Fluttershy, with a smile. ''Where's Rainbow and Pinkie?''

''Hmm, last time I heard from Pinkie was two years ago, she was working at Sugar Cube Corner. Don't know about now. Sorry, Fluttershy.''

''Are you talking about me!'' came a yell, that they knew all to well. Pinkie Pie!

''Pinkie!'' came the yell of the pink mare's best friends.

Trotting along side Pinkie was Rainbow who had a colt on her head, clearly it was Bullet. While Rainy was doing loop-de-loops in the air, somehow carrying a small unicorn who could clearly been seen as Dizzy.

''Rainy, put Dizzy down. You could fall and hurt yourself and her.'' said Rainbow, scolding while Pinkie bounced over to their friends.

''Huggies!'' yelled Pinkie, hugging them.

The girls giggled while the five fillies walked over to each other.

''May I ask, how do our parents know each other?'' asked Rainy, bouncing up and down.

''Well, I don't know, do I?'' asked Mel, with slight annoyance in her voice, due to the sappiness going on.

''Mel, be quiet.'' said Harm. ''Maybe we should introduce ourselves.''

''Good idea!'' said Bookworm, with a smile. ''I'm Bookworm, daughter of Princess Twilight and Fluttershy.''

''Whoa, a princess and a alicorn filly!'' came Dizzy voice, with glee. ''I'm Dizzy, daughter of Derpy and Doctor Whooves.''

''And I'm Confetti Rain, but I prefer being called Rainy.'' said Rainy, flapping her wings and landed on a rain cloud.

She begin bouncing up and down causing it to rain, nearby. The fillies watched in awe. The twins glanced at each other and smiled.

''Our turn, I'm Harmony.'' said Harm.

''And I'm Melody.'' said Mel.

''And our parents are Applejack and Rarity.'' they continued in unison.

''Your twins?'' asked Bookworm.

''Yep!'' smiled Mel.

''Cool, my baby brother and sister, Thistle and Whistle are twins.'' said Bookworm, with a bright smile.

''Hey, I'm not the only one to be a big sister!'' yelled Rainy, with glee.

''We're all big sisters.'' said Harm, pointing to the 4 foals.

''Does anypony else have a big sister or brother?'' asked Bookworm.

''Nope, why? Do you?''

''Yep, I'm the younger sister of Princess Nyx Sparkle.''

''Nyx? Ah, my aunts are friends with her.'' asked Harm.

''Hmm, are you aunts names Scootaloo, Sweetie Belle or Apple Bloom?''

''Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom.''

''But my aunt is called Scootaloo.'' said Rainy, bouncing up and down more and more.

''Eh, I'm the odd one out, aren't I. But Bookworm, I'm a younger sister too.'' said Dizzy, with a smile.

''Cool, I had heard of Dinky Hooves from Nyx. Their in the same class.''

Dizzy grinned.

''My little ponies, time for school.'' came a yell, it was Cheerilee, also known as the twins' other aunt, thanks to her marrying Big Mac and having Apple Flower as their daughter.

''Go on, girls. We're gonna go to the spa.'' said Twilight.

The group of 5 blinked but nodded their heads. They ran to the door and walked in. In the classroom was about 30 foals, which made it good that three was 6 even rows with five seats on each. Cheerilee walked in.

''Everypony, go and find your desk. Your name is on it.'' she said, with a smile, as she walked over to her own desk.

The girls looked around for their seats. Bookworm got the middle seat on the front row, literally in front of the teacher. The twins got either unlucky or lucky depending on what day, as they were sat together on the far left of the back row. Dizzy got the seat two rows behind Bookworm, with Rainy to her left.

''Alright, everypony. Settle down.'' said Cheerilee with a smile. ''First off, I like you to turn to the pony to your left, or if your on the row closest to the door, turn behind you.''

Bookworm smiled and turned to her left, sat there was a colt with a light blue coat and a three-colored mane, which was red, white and blue. He's eyes were blue too. She blushed, despite not knowing why.

''Um...I'm Bookworm...'' she mumbled.

''Oh, hi.'' he said, with a smile. ''I'm Fresh Teeth, but please just call me Fresh. Wait, are you a princess?'' he asked, eyeing her wings.

''Yeah, daughter of the princess of friendship.

''That's cool, I won't brag or anything, but being next to a princess is so awesome!''

Bookworm giggled, though her normally cream colored coat was flashed with a bright blush.

Behind her, Dizzy was chatting with a random filly, who the twins recognized as their cousin, Apple Flower. The twins were having different chats, Mel having a chat with the colt in front and Harm had the one next to her. And Rainy was almost flying when she found out the pegasus colt next to her loved Rainbow Dash.

''Now, everypony. Please introduce yourself and say something interesting about yourself.''

Bookworm didn't really listen over then to her friends. Her turn came quickly, straight after Fresh's. ''I'm Bookworm, treat me like any other foal, please. And I love reading books on animals''

Whispers went around the class, about Bookwork's princess hood, much to her dislike. She hated being treated differently just cause she had both wings and a horn and that she had a mark of being a princess.

''Class, settle down. Bookworm will be treated like everypony else, I'm not having somepony being treated any different, just cause of her background.'' said Cheerilee, calmly making Bookworm settle a bit.

Next on the list of her new friends was Rainy. ''Hi, I'm Confetti Rain, though I prefer being called Rainy! And my 'daddy' is Rainbow Dash!'' yelled the energetic filly.

Then, it became Dizzy's turn which was almost as eager as Rainy to say. ''I'm Dizzy and I love muffins! Muffin!''

Bookworm had a hold a giggle, which was noted by Fresh, who whispered. ''Quite the energetic one, isn't she?''

''Yea...she's one of my mom's friends' daughter's best friend...so I know her.'' she whispered back.

The last fillies to say their names were the twins and like before they did their introduction together. ''Hi, I'm Harmony!''

''And I'm Melody.''

''We're twins, and we love music.'' said the pair, in unison as their pendents began glimmering catching Bookworm's attention.

'Their pendents...there like mine, just shaped like a music note...instead of a book' she thought, gripping hold of her pendent.

After class ended, the fillies stayed behind for a brief second to met up so they could leave together.

''Hey! Hey! Who wants to do some skipping?'' asked Dizzy, grabbing a skipping rope. ''There's even a rope.''

''Sure, I'll play.'' said Mel.

''Count me out, it involves a muddy floor.'' said Harm.

''Ugh, clean freak.'' groaned Mel.

''There is no way that I am hopping on mud.''

''How about if I drag you on.''

And no pony put it passed her, as Mel grabbed Harm by the hoof and dragged her into the mud pile, covering her usually prim white coat in filth. Everypony begin giggling, though kindly.

''You seriously think this is funny!?'' growled Harm, getting up and hit Mel on the head for pulling her into the mud.

''Ouch! Harm!''

The other fillies stopped laughing, as the two began fighting both verbal and physical.

''Maybe we should stop them.'' said Rainy, watching the pair attempt to beat each other up.

''Yea, I have never seen twins act like this. Come on, Harm gonna get hurt.'' said Bookworm.

She ran over and gripped onto Mel, who was attempting to beat her sister up badly. While Rainy and Dizzy helped Harm up.

''Mel, calm down.'' yelled Bookworm, struggling to keep grip on the tough filly.

''....'' Mel didn't say anything as she finally loosen up and realized that her sister was coated in more bruises then mud.

Tears fell from her eyes, she didn't truly wanna hurt her sister. Her emotions just got the better of her, like the incident that happened when they were five, and Harm skipped out of chores.

''I'm sorry...'' she cried, before making Bookworm let go of her and she ran to one of the farther ends of the playground.

Harm watched as Mel left, she knew that the orange unicorn would never fully hurt her. ''Bookworm, heal me...'' she mumbled.

''Ah, sure.'' said Bookworm, lighting up her horn and healing the bruises on Harm's body.

Harm got to her hooves, didn't even wipe the mud away and ran to where Mel had ran off to. She saw Mel sat along, with her head in her hooves, though she could see tears.

''Mel?''

''Go away, Harm....'' she muttered, as her sister got closer.

''No, you didn't mean it.'' said Harm, before reaching out and hugging Mel.

Mel was shocked when the hooves wrapped around her, and a couple more tears leaked from her eyes. ''I'm so sorry, Harmony!''

''It's alright, Melody. It's alright.''

The other 3 fillies had ran over and saw the comforting scene, and began smiling. Twins, who normally got along so well but had their off-days but made up pretty quickly.

Crush

Bookworm rushed downstairs, as soon as knocking was heard of the castle's main entrance. She gasped for air, but didn't stop till she ran out of the castle door, to see Rainy, Dizzy and the twins, who began giggling when she dropped to the floor to pant.

''You don't have to rush, ya know.'' said Mel.

''Yeah, what she said!'' said Rainy, who was trying to hold a laugh.

''Their right, are you alright, darling?'' asked Harm, attempting to use her mother's tone of voice.

Wheezing still, Bookworm managed to get to her hooves and nod. ''Yea....Maybe your right, mom even said not to run. Nyx said the same.''

''And their right, listen to them. Miss I have to be on-time.'' said Dizzy, giggling.

''Dizz, that isn't her name, ya know.'' said Mel.

''I know! I know! But my mommy likes being called Ditzy from daddy despite it not being her name!''

''Ugh, it's useless to explain.'' said Harm, resting her hoof on her twin's back.

''I can tell, I surprised that she understands Rainy, but then again, their around the same level of craziness.'' said Mel.

''Girls, if we don't hurry, Jade and Bling are gonna be on our backs.'' said Bookworm.

Jade was a light jade colored filly with a pink and purple mane which was curled. She had dark golden eyes and owned a cutie mark of 3 jade crystals, similar to Rarity's. Bling was a sliver colt with a black mane which was pretty spiked in a cool sort of way. He had dark blue eyes and had a cutie mark of a dollar sign. They were Diamond Tiara's and Sliver Spoon's little sister and brother, respectfully. And they were the girls bullies for their blanks, with the exception of Dizzy, who they bullied for her eyes as she had her mark.

The others nodded, thinking about the bullies' mocking gobbling. They felt sick just thinking of it.

The group began walking down the many mud paths of Ponyville and towards Ponyville Elementary. Most of the foals were still outside due to it being rather early still. The group walked into the playground. Almost instantly, Rainy flew up and tap her pendent, though it only shimmered. She grinned and grabbed a rain cloud out of pretty much nowhere and began bouncing on it, causing random raindrops to crackle down.

''Rainy!'' yelled one of the foals, as a small group ran inside to get Mrs Cheerilee.

Cheerilee walked out to see what the fuss was all about and saw the energetic pegasus sat on the cloud looking pretty guilty.

''Not again, Confetti.'' said Cheerilee. ''Come down, this instant.''

''Yes, Mrs Cheerilee.'' grumbled Rainy, mostly caused of the use of her true name.

She got off her rain cloud, and flew down. Her little cyan legs hit the ground with a light thud!

''Everypony else, head inside, while I talk with this one.''

Everypony said 'okay'. Bookworm was one of the last, along with a certain colt who she had developed a crush on. Fresh.

''Good morning, Bookie.'' said Fresh, causing Bookworm to blush more.

''M-M-mor-morning....Fresh...''

Fresh giggled at the filly's shyness, and kiss her nose to tease her. The filly turned even more red and stood still with a long second, before finally gathering the courage to enter the schoolhouse, though it took her a second to gather even more courage to sit down. Fresh giggled at her nervousness again.

Cheerilee walked in with a sulking Rainy, clearly she had been told off for her little rain trick.

''Alright, everypony. Reading time.''

Bookworm smiled brightly. But then it melted into a frown, she didn't have her reading book. Her necklace flashed, she was the only filly who owned them to know it's power, and she knew hers, because of her mom. She just needed to remember the name of the book.

'What was it called again?' she thought. 'Oh yea.'

She tapped her pendent, and closed her eye. She focused on the power inside of the pendent and repeated the name of her reading book in her head. The pendent emitted a small glow and the book appeared on her desk, as she opened her eyes. She smiled, and opened the book with magic.

Bookworm closed her book some time later, just before the bell for break rang. She smiled to herself, and levertated her book into her school bag then ran out to join the other fillies only to bump into somepony. A white colt to be exact, Fresh!

''Ah, um...sorry...Fresh...'' said Bookworm, feeling guilty.

''It's alright, Bookie.'' said Fresh, with a smile.

Bookworm's face ignited and she was certain that she saw a smoke cloud raise into the air because of it.

''Your cute when your embarrassed.'' he said, in a teasing tone.

''Y-you...tease!'' she cried, still embarrassed.

''Adds to my charms, though.'' He was talking the truth too.

Bookworm continued to blush.

Mel and Harm wondered where their friend was for a moment, before seeing the filly with the colt who sat next to her, blushing redder then a tomato.

''Does Bookworm have a crush?'' asked Mel.

''Probably, but I'm not a stalker so I wouldn't know.'' said Harm.

''Oh! Oh! Let's go and tease her.'' yelled Rainy.

''Aren't you in enough trouble and knowing Bookworm, she'll tell.''

Rainy pouted, but still ran off to Bookworm.

''Bookie! Why are you blushing?''

''..R-rainy!'' yelled Bookworm, blushing heavier if that was possible.

''Oh, isn't this one of your friends, Bookie?'' asked Fresh.

''Y-yea...'' mumbled Bookworm, still having a hard time chatting with Fresh.

She got lucky though, as the bell managed to save her. She even thanked Celestia internally, with a brief smile on her face, only for her face to turn red again when she remember who she sat next to.

Cutie marks

Rainy sat on the cloud, looking pretty bored. School was out for the day, due to it being spring break and she was more bored then normal. She watched the ponies of the town and then spotting three teenagers, coming out of Sugar Cube Corner. One seemed oddly familiar to her.

''It can't be, can it?'' she asked, narrowing her eyes to see better.

One of the teenagers was a cream earth pony with a red mane, which had a pink ribbon attached to it. Her eyes appeared to be orange, one of the two apple family eye colors. Another one was a marshmallow unicorn with stylish mane and tail, which was pink and purple, with more purple then pink oddly and green eyes. And the last was a small winged orange pegasus with a pinkish-purple mane with violet eyes. Her wings were small due to being deformed.

''Aunt Scootaloo.'' she gasped.

She flapped her wings at top speed, which was dangerous. And she flew down to Scootaloo. She landed on Scootaloo's back and hugged her neck, surprising the mare.

''Uh, Scoots, who's this?'' asked Sweetie Belle, looking down at the filly.

Scootaloo didn't answered, instead she looked at the filly and grinned. ''Oh Celestia, Rainy, you know how to scare a mare, don't ya? Rainbow been teaching you well?''

''Nope, it was mommy.'' came her answer, though not the one Scootaloo had expected. How did Pinkie teach her. But oh well.

''Scootaloo, who is this?'' asked Sweetie Belle again, annoyed that she had been ignored.

''Oh sorry, Sweets. This is Confetti Rain, my honorary niece and she's Rainbow's and Pinkie's oldest daughter, and big sister to Bullet.''

''Oh.'' said Applebloom. ''Shouldn't we go meet our sisters and nieces, or nephew in Scoot's case.''

''Alright.'' said Scootaloo.

''Um, Applebloom, can you tell Rarity that I'm staying with Scoots for a bit, so I can learn more about Confetti here?''

''Ah can, but why?''

''..Well...'' the unicorn began blushing, glancing awkwardly at her marefriend.

''Oh, ah see. See ya later then.''

''Bye.'' waved her friends.

Applebloom walked off, with a smile.

''Hey, Auntie Scoots? Can I show you something?''

''What, kid?'' asked Scoot, using a pet name for her niece.

Rainy grinned, and flew off of Scootaloo's back. She stayed in the air for a second, before moving on hoof below her pendent, she smiled and the pendent began shimmering like it had when she was born. A couple of white clouds appear and begin spitting rain.

''Now, that's cool.'' said Scootaloo, with a smile. ''Hey, would you look at that?''

Rainy blinked, but then noticed something on her formerly light blue flank, a cutie mark of a rain drop like the mark on her hoof, meaning her talent in rain making and it happen to make her brightly smile.

''My cutie mark!''

She landed and began bouncing all over the place, until she heard a mocking gabbling sound. It was Jade and Bling.

''Wow, that is a amazing cutie mark. A freaking raindrop is your talent, how cliche.'' mocked Jade.

''Oy, leave my niece alone.'' said Scootaloo. ''Sure her talent is cliche, but it's special and if you don't get the hell out of her, I'll make your pathetic talent vanish.''

Jade growled, but she and Bling left almost instantly. Scootaloo smirked before glancing down at the blue filly.

''Who are those two?'' she asked, sitting down and putting a wing around the filly, somehow considering it was only just double the size of Rainy's.

''Jade Stone and Bling Bong, their the younger sister or brother of Diamond Tiara and Sliver Spoon.''

''And I suppose they bully you?''

''Right.'' nodded Rainy.

Sweetie Belle walked up to the pair and said. ''Me and Scoot were bullied at your age too, before our cutie marks appeared.''

''Really? But your talents were obvious?''

Scootaloo smiled and motioned for her niece to come into Sugar Cube Corner and to sit down. Pinkie looked briefly confused about why her daughter was here, but swayed it off to focus on the amount of customers, the line almost went out of the door.

''We're gonna tell you about the story of the CMC, you know mine, Sweetie's and Bloom's group?''

''Yea..''

''Good. Well, us there meet at Diamond Tiara's cute-ceanéra, which you likely to get one considering you mother is the party planner, and well, noticing we were all blank flank we formed a group known as the Cutie Mark Crusaders, after that me and Sweetie moved into Ponyville Elementary and we became pretty close friends. But all we did was do a random amount of stuff in hopes our marks would appear.''

''Instead of focusing on our true talents, which we knew but we didn't believe in them.'' continued Sweetie Belle. ''But by the time, we entered the 5th grade we have particular given up and began focusing on learning skills properly. Shortly after that, we all gain our talents because of realizing them.''

Sweetie Belle glanced down at her cutie mark, a note with sparkles symbolizing two abilities, magic and singing though she focused more on singing and she was the lead singer in the CMC's band which travel around Equestria. Scootaloo also looked down at her cutie mark; a scooter symbolizing her acrobatic skills on it, and to her, she prefer scootering to flying. Applebloom's cutie mark; a paintbrush coming out of a potion bottle which symbolized two talents like Sweetie's but in this case, it was design and potion-making and she would make paint via her second skill.

Scootaloo smiled, and continued talking. ''I earned my cutie mark.....''

Scootaloo was scootering around the town, as her mom had asked her to get some ingredients for dinner. She saw a upcoming plank and grinned. She jolted out her wings, which made a buzz sound, and flap them quickly boosting her speed. She ran right over the plank, and smiled.

''Woohoo!''

''Nice scootering you got their, Scoot.'' said her honorary sister, Rainbow Dash.

''Thank you, Rainbow Dash!''

''Your welcome, little sis.'' said Rainbow. ''Maybe your special talent is scootering.''

''Scootering?''

Scootaloo thought about it, yea she was good at scootering. Maybe it was her special talent.

''Hey, would you look at that?'' Rainbow smiled.

Scootaloo blinked, before glancing down at her glowing flank. When the light faded, there was a cutie mark; a scooter. Rainbow was right.

''My cutie mark, at last!''

''Way ta go, little sis.''

''Rainbow helped me get my cutie mark, so I wasn't surprised when you earned you cutie mark around me.'' she said.

''Daddy helped you earn your mark?''

''Yep, your turn, Sweets.''

Sweetie blushed but nodded. ''Well, Rainy. I got my cutie mark only shortly after Scootaloo and Twilight Sparkle was the one, who helped me.''

Twilight Time had just begun for the week, and Scootaloo was showing off her new mark. Sweetie Belle smiled. Twilight and Rarity were watching them, Twilight stood up and walked over to them.

''Sweetie Belle, weren't you gonna put on a show?''

''Oh right!'' she gasped.

Sweetie Belle's horn began glowing in it's fine green aura, grabbing a microphone. She stood on a pre-made stage, Rarity smiled. She was there to watch her sister, and to help Twilight with some royal duties. Sweetie Belle began singing, in the finest voice she could manage.

Love is in the air.

Circling all around,

but many can't see it so!

I'm here to show it.

Have you ever fallen in love?

Or meet somepony special?

Even if you haven't, you must know somepony who

has!

Love is in the air, circling all around.

Even if you can't see it, you should know it's

there!

Everypony began clapping for the young filly, who blushed. She was so embarrassed that she never saw the flash which erupted from her flank, until Twilight walked over and smiled, Rarity too walked over and pointed at the flash.

''Would you look at that?'' said Rarity.

''What?'' mumbled Sweetie Belle until she saw the mark on her flank; a note with sparkles. ''My cutie mark!''

She began bouncing around the two mares, yelling. 'Yes! Yes! Yes!'. Applebloom and Scootaloo congratulated and hugged their friend, but Sweetie could see a cloud of sadness in Bloom's eyes, she was the last like the rest of the apples.

Sweetie Belle smiled to herself, her friends had been proud that day but as much as Applebloom tried to hide it, she clearly was sad about the fact that she was the last member of the group to earn her mark.

''Sweets, why don't we head over to Sweet Apple Acres, to meet Applejack and Rarity and then let Applebloom tell Rainy about her cutie mark story, while we tell the twins.''

''Alright.'' nodded Sweetie.

The same sort of thing was happening over at Sweet Apple Acres, by the time the group arrived. Applebloom was just standing up from tell the twins, how she earn her cutie mark. Applebloom was smiling, then she turned and saw her fillyhood friends.

''Hey, guys.'' she said. ''I suppose you been telling Confetti about your cutie mark stories. Well that's a good thing, you tell the twins about yours. They need to learn how to earn their marks whilst I tell Confetti.''

''Alright.'' said the mares, who went and sat down with Harm and Mel, whilst Rainy and Bloom sat down together on the dirt. Bloom smiled down at the young pegasus.

''You remind me of Scootaloo sometimes...'' she mumbled. ''I'm trailing off topic. Well, I was the last of my class to earn my mark. I had gone over to Zecora, the zebra who lives in the everfree forest.....''

''Zecora, why must I be the last of my class to earn my mark?'' she complained, whilst crushing some blueberries.

''Your frustration is well understood, but you must wait for all things good.'' rhymed Zecora, who gently put a droplet of everfree water into the crushed blueberry mix.

The mix turned dam and it slowly formed blue paint, which made Applebloom smile. She looked at the wooded cart which Applejack had asked her to paint, she grabbed a paintbrush carefully and soaked it for a second in the newly made paint.

She added a couple of fresh layers of paint, which dried almost instantly. Potion paint was a bit different from normal paint, as it could dry at high speeds, and it helped. She grabbed a crushed orange paint mix, and added the orange paint for design. She was so wrapped up in her job that she never noticed the cutie mark, which appeared on her flank; a paintbrush coming out of a potion bottle.

''Well, little Applebloom. Your patient had brought you a great gift, which had just bloomed.'' said Zecora, with a smile on her white and grey features.

Applebloom froze, mainly in attempt to figure out what Zecora said. But when she figured it out, she glanced down at her flank and gasped in delight. Her cutie mark at finally appeared, and it was worth waiting for.

''It truly was worth waiting for, my long dream had come true.'' said Applebloom, heart fully. She was smiling, like she was truly proud of something which she was.

''It was alright, even though the Apple Family were commonly late, Applebloom's didn't follow the tradition but she was late so it was worth waiting for. Oh yea, you might wanna look at the twins flanks.'' said Scootaloo, walking over to them with Sweetie and the twins.

The twins giggled, and turned around showing their new cutie marks; both notes but Harm had one note whilst Mel had two. They had earned them with the help of their Auntie Sweetie, and their pendents which had the ability to turn into an instrument.

Harm glanced at Mel, who nodded. The pair gripped hold of their pendents and throw them in the air, Harm's pendent changed into a flute while Mel's turned into a harmonic. The girls grabbed them and began playing, the noise was a beautiful sound and it brought along something with it. Bookworm, who had something to show the girls, walked into the farm when she heard the song. She smiled, and walked over to the group.

''Girls!'' she yelled.

The group looked at the young alicorn and smiled.

''What is it, Bookie? You gotta date with Freshy?'' asked Rainy, with a grin.

''N-no!.... But I have something to show you.''

''What is it, Darling?'' said Harm, attempting her mother's cantorlot like voice.

Bookie smiled, and turned to her side. There on her cream flank was a cutie mark; a book which was open emitting a glow and sparkles. The group gasped, and ran over to their friend.

''Wow, is you talent related to spell books?'' asked Mel.

''Yea...I earned it from finding a spell book using my pendent which can locate books as well as summon books, much like yours can do random things related to your names.'' she said, holding her book pendent.

The group smiled, and hugged each other. At least till randomly, Dizzy ran over and yelled at the top of her lungs, literally.

''DOES ANYPONY HERE REMEMBER ME!? AND SECOND, PONYVILLE IS HOLDING THE SUMMER SUNS CELEBRATION IN A FEW WEEKS!''

''Ow!'' growled Rainy, before shooting daggers at the dizzy eyed unicorn.

''The summer suns is happening here this year?'' asked Scootaloo, she could remember the last summer suns that Ponyville held.

''Yep, and ya know what I can't freaking wait for it!''

''Maybe you could if you stopped yelling.'' growled Rainy.

The group managed to hold down bickering though, by managing to stop Dizzy from yelling everything she said. But little did anypony know was a shadow was floating around them, and it appeared to make a giggle noise.

A mare sat in a dark cave, watching the fillies through a crystal ball. She was grinning evily. The mare was a dark grey, so dark that it was almost black. Her mane was a blood red, and actually was dripping with blood. The mare's eyes were a deathly orange, and she had fangs.

''So, I have finally found the reincarnation of the Papillon, but these foals seem weak so they shouldn't be too hard to keep away from me.''

She got up, and walked into the darkness but not before laughing out loud. ''Just you wait, Papillon.''

Naming and Bullet.

With the Summer Sun coming up, school was out for it's summer holiday which surprising was only a couple of weeks after the spring break. The group would spend most of it's hours at the former CMC club house. They were trying to figure out names for their little group, but with little success.

''What are we gonna name ourselves?'' asked Rainy, mostly to herself then to the foals around her.

Every pony that was in the group was there, with the exception of Dizzy, who had summer school which Derpy had applied her to, because the young filly had dyslexia, which meant she had a hard time learning.

Rainy, whilst she weren't expecting one got a answer. It was from Bookworm, surprising. The young alicorn had a bright smile on her face, which draw the attention of the twins, who blinked with curiosity.

''Girls, how about we name ourselves 'Papillon'?''

''What's 'Papillon'?'' asked Mel.

''Papillon is the french word for butterfly and comes from a greek word....'' stated Bookworm, forgetting that she would be the only one to care. ''And I thought it was cute!''

''Who agrees with 'Papillon'?'' asked Rainy, who was stood on the pedestal for some reason.

She got a raised hoof from everypony there, even a periwinkle one which was soon revealed to be Dizzy, who had just gotten out of summer school for the day. She was still bouncing with joy even if she hated school.

''Then it's settled. Papillon is our group's name!''

''It truly is a prefect name, isn't it, Mel darling.'' said Harm, with a smile.

''Yea, but it had expected nothing less if Bookie picked it.'' replied Mel, giving a side smile to Bookworm who blushed.

''Wait, Bookie picked the name?!'' asked Dizzy, falling in on them somehow. When did she...never mind.

''Yea, but next time don't jump on us or your gonna give us mud infection, darling please.'' said Harm.

Mel groaned to herself but made a small smile, before doom wrote itself on her face. She had forgotten something too important. She gasped, and got up with a start and grabbed Harm with her hooves.

''Harm, aren't we forgetting something!?'' she gasped out, in panic.

''Uh...Not that I can think off.'' said Harm, trying to calm her sister down.

''We have to foalsit Jewel, remember?! Mom and dad are out and Auntie Applebloom or Auntie Sweetie Belle can't make it to foalsit as they already headed off to preform.''

Harm face fell, she had totally forgotten about it. Oh great, it wasn't like she hated her little sister it was just, Jewel was at the age that magic surges affected her and they were almost like Twilight's magic from time to time, very powerful to the point that Rarity would wonder if the foal was even hers.

''Uh great...'' she muttered.

''You girls have to foalsit?'' asked Bookie.

''Yea....'' moaned the two.

''Well, me and my big sis, Nyx have to foalsit Thistle and Whistle, and if you think a 2 year old baby unicorn is hard, try a unicorn and pegasus, who are both from an alicorn.'' she giggled.

''Well, we could bring Jewel over to the Friendship Rainbow Castle and help you two.'' said Mel, with a smile as Harm nodded.

''Aww...I wanna take part with Bullet.....But mommy says I'm too young to look after him even though daddy with the wonderbolts with the summer.'' whined Rainy.

''I wanna take part too but my only siblings are Dinky and Sparkler and there older!'' whined Dizzy, somehow louder then Rainy.

''Well, we could influence your mother to let Bullet come over to play, and with you Dizzy you still can help. In fact, your the chief play-toy.'' said Mel.

''Yay!'' yelled Dizzy, jumping in the air before realizing something and falling. ''Chief play-toy?''

''Your the foals play friend.''

''Oh.'' mouthed out Dizzy, with a understanding grin. Harm whispered to Rainy about 'should they tell her' but got a negative reply.

''So, meet up at the castle later on.'' said Bookie, putting on her hoof out.

''Yea.'' said the others, putting their hooves on Bookie's.

The group smiled. Mel and Harm went to get Jewel, whilst Bookie when with Rainy to get Pinkie's permission for a play date with Thistle and Whistle.

Getting permission from Pinkie was pretty easy, as the mare was almost always busy with the store, even with Pumpkin Cake helping her. The poor mare looked like she was gonna collapse sometimes. The fillies walked into the nursery to where the colt was playing, with a rainbow dash plush.

''Hello, Bullet.'' said Rainy, with a smile.

''Big sis! Big sis!'' yelled Bullet, before starting to bounce around the light blue filly.

The pink colt never settled down, did he. Bookie stepped in to help her fellow Papillon member.

''Hello, Bullet. You may not know my name, but I'm Rainy's friend, Bookworm. And I was wondering if you would like a play date with Thistle and Whistle, my baby siblings.''

''PLAY DATE! PLAY DATE!'' yelled the colt, at the top of his lungs.

''Does he ever quieten down?'' asked Bookie, quietly.

''Not really...Why do you think mom has a hard time?''

''I can see..'' groaned Bookie, rubbing her now sore ears. ''He's like a flanderization of Pinkie Pie.''

''Flanderization?'' asked Rainy, not understanding the word.

''It means taking one trait from somepony and making it worst, in this case it's Pinkie's hyperactivity but multiplied by about 4.''

Summer Suns Chaos (part 1)

Bookworm signed, she and her friends had recently found their marks and didn't have much to do anymore. She was alone in the club house, waiting for at least Rainy, who was the appointed leader, as she nearly always was there. The cream alicorn looked out of the window, and saw the setting sun, how late could it be?

She signed once more, it was the summer sun in a week but not only that, she and her 5, yes 5 Freshy counts, friends had been asked to put on a play for the school children, alliterating the return of Princess Luna. Bookworm was to play Twilight, despite having stage fright. Rainy was playing Rainbow Dash, much to her joy, Dizzy managed to snip in a play as Pinkie Pie which worked actually. Freshy, who saw how nervous Bookworm was for having to act out her 'father' and asked that since he was a unicorn that he could take the job, which they aloud, and thus Bookworm was appointed to play Fluttershy. The twins were appointed to play their parents, Mel being Applejack as she had a proven southern tone, and Harm as Rarity because she literally was her, no arguments about it.

The play was gonna be put on in two weeks, a week after the summer sun, which made a lot of sense, since school was out and the foals were meant to be with their parents on at the Summer Suns Celebration, which was being held in Ponyville this year.

Bookworm smiled to herself, got onto her hooves and began walking out, bowing after she exited the door and ran straight into Rainy, who had only just come up the stairs. Rainy groaned, but grinned.

''Playing the royalty role already?''

''Ah...Uh...''

''Don't worry your pants off, plus *Wink wink* I wonder if Freshy will like it? Right, Bookie?''

Bookie went bright red, which probably would make Big Mac jealous. She almost glared down at the ditzy/tomboyish pegasus. Rainy giggled at the filly's reaction, causing Bookie to blush heavier and contiue to glare at Rainy.

Bookie glanced at her wings for a very brief second, before opening them and flapping them and flying which she never trusted herself to do before. She managed to force away the blush and to actually gasp in surprise as she flew above the club house, even Rainy a natural flyer since almost birth was shocked that the alicorn filly who didn't trust her wings to take her off the ground, was flying.

Sometime had passed since then though and the summer sun was literally the next day. All the fillies were excited to see Princess Celestia, with the exception of Bookie who was particularly her grandfoal and saw her most days.

The girls had also been forced into a clothing thing, mainly by Rarity with a bit of help from Harm. Bookie was forced into wearing a long blue gown with stars trialing the back and star ear clips, which felt weird. Mel and Harm were both wearing the same, a long translucent dress and a cowgirl's hat. Dizzy was wearing a grey vest with a translucent gown floating off her back, and a headband of muffins.

''There is no bucking way that your getting me in that.'' growled Rainy, acting more like a father then anything.

''Language, darling.'' said Harm.

''And you'll be because it's amazing.'' said Rarity, flicking her horn to glow.

The magical glow wrapped around a dress which matched Rainbow's first gala dress, just filly sized. She then used her magic to force Rainy to stay still, much to the young pegasus's annoyance. The dress was soon on, much to Rainy irritation. She even had tears of frustration running down her face, from a blue eyes.

The girls giggled at their tomboyish friend but kindly, though it still annoyed Rainy even more. She didn't wanna wear a dress, for no reason what's so ever! But look at her, she was wearing a dress, in front of her best friends at that.

''Hey, Bookworm. Isn't there another?'' asked Rarity.

Bookworm blushed, and nodded. ''Um...His name is Fresh Teeth...but....Um...''

''Somepony's in summit junnit.''

''Huh?'' asked Mel. ''What's that?''

''Means she has a crush on this Fresh, much like her father's first crush, on Flash Sentry.''

''Ah, Bookie did have a crush after all.'' said Harm.

''I-I D-don't have a crush on Freshy!'' yelled Bookie, out of embarrassment.

''Then why are you blushing?'' asked Rainy, who was finally out of annoyance.

''...Well...'' mumbled Bookie, tears swelling in our eyes.

''She does have a crush after all, doesn't she?'' said Dizzy, who got a nod from Rainy.

''Oh buck it!'' screamed Bookie.

She ran out of the boutique and down the mud path, out of the orchard. She flapped her wings, and began flying which shocked everypony but Rainy, who had already seen her fly. She blushed heavily, and flew towards the friendship castle.

She sat in a corner of her room, bawling her purple eyes out. She was shocked that her friends would tease her for having a early crush, they had done light teasing before but no. She didn't want to think she was anymore different that what she was.

''Bookie? You alright in there?''

It was her older sister, Nyx. The alicorn teenager walked in, looking at her sister. She frowned, and walked over to the young filly, wrapping a wing around her shoulder. Bookie gasped, and looked at her sister's kind dragon-like eyes. The teen smiled.

''What's wrong?''

''...My friends were teasing me for having a crush...On...a colt...''

''I see, you now, back when I was your age I was different too. Remember when mom told you about how I came into her care?''

''Uh-huh...''

''Well, shortly after the incident, I was outcasted by quite a bit of my classmates for being a 'demon' as they said. Bullying happened to me everyday, my friends stuck up for me, even though I was a crybaby, and timid about nearly everything. Eventually, I told mom who had become a princess by then and it was all sorted out. But come on, enough about me, we have a summer sun to get too. Mom and dad, as well as the twins, have already left.''

''...Wait...It's night time already?''

''Yep, you spent most of this time crying in your room.''

''...Okay...''

The pair smiled at each other, and became walking down the stairs. They chatted about little things, after all the stairs were long, yet pretty wide. They soon reached the bottom, and walked out of the door.

''Wanna fly there?'' asked Nyx, lowering down.

''...Sure...but um...I can fly on my own...''

''You sure?''

Bookie smiled, slowly opened her cream colored wings and flapped them, taking to the sky. Nyx smiled, when did her sister, who was terrified of heights, learn to fly. But that didn't matter, they had a summer sun to get too.

The pair flew through the night sky, which had a lovely breeze which was a prefect contrast to the hot weather of the summer months. The town hall wasn't too far by flying, and they reached in a matter of minutes.

Inside the town hall, there was quite a few ponies, it was still a bit early so many were frolicking and chatting. Some were eating some food which was being either passed out, or was laying still on the clothed table.

Nyx walked with Bookie, at least till they met up with Twilight and the smallish family. Thistle and Whistle had ran off to play with Jewel and Bullet, whilst Fluttershy was preparing her bird friends.

A while later, trumpets were blown signalling that it was time. Everypony stopped and watched the balcony, where Ivory Scroll walked out from. She said her piece, and signal to Rarity to call out the princess.

What happened next shocked everypony, Celestia didn't appear. Instead, a dark grey smoke rose from the balcony and formed a dark grey mare, with a blood red mane and dangerous orange eyes, and fangs. On the alicorn mare's flank was a black butterfly.

But the thing which shocked Bookie was that she reconized the mare from somewhere. She gripped her pendent, and whispered to it 'evil mare with a butterfly cutie mark'. It came up with Lady Butterfly, or newly named Queen Butterfly. She was the mother of three mares known as Papillon.

She was shocked, but whilst trying to put two and two together. The mare had flew over to her, gripping her by the neck and grinning.

''Dear, Bookworm. Your pretty quick to learn, much like your incarnation, my daughter Aurora. Many believed that there wasn't a alicorn back then, but I existed with my three beloved daughters. Aurora, Weather and Sweet Music.''

Bookworm looked shocked, but she eventually put two and two together. The papillon that she and her friends were are the reincarnation of those mares, but how did they end up with four instead of three. She groaned, trying to get out of the mares iron grip.

''Get your filthy hooves off Bookie!'' growled her friends.

''Girls...Get out of here! She's too powerful!'' yelled Bookie, only to have the grip tighten.

''Bookie!''

Summer Suns Chaos (part 2)

''Bookie!'' screamed her friends.

Rainy growled, and flapped her wings. She gripped hold of her pendent, and throw it into the air. A cloud appeared sealing the pendent, something Rainy hadn't expected. She had to fly away at the next moment, due to bolts of lightning flying everywhere.

However it didn't end Queen Butterfly's iron grip around Bookie, who was becoming faint. She glanced down at her friends, and her family, her eyes beginning to close themselves, she was losing conscious fast.

''Ah, already at the end?'' asked Queen Butterfly, staring down at the young alicorn.

Rainy glared at Queen Butterfly, whilst attempting to gain control of her pendent. The twins, who looked equally worried, were trying to figure out how they could help. Dizzy and Freshy were standing next to each other, towards the back of the room.

''...She can't die yet, I haven't told her.'' said Freshy, gritting his teeth. ''Any ideas on how to beat the queen?''

''None. Sorry.'' said Dizzy, looking at him worriedly.

Twilight glanced at Fluttershy, who nodded. The alicorn princess flapped her wings and glared at the queen.

''Let go off my daughter!'' she demanded.

''What if I didn't?'' grinned the queen, only to get a blast of magenta magic sent at her. ''Oh, I'm so scared~''

Twilight growled, but as she did a blast of high level magic was shot at her. She gasped, losing control of her flight and after landing on the ground, she realized what spell it was. An aging spell, she was getting smaller. Soon, where a alicorn once stood, there was a small unicorn foal.

Fluttershy gasped, and ran over to her wife, picking her up and a couple of tears formed in her eyes. Nyx stood in shook, she glanced between her small mother and her little sister. It took some time, but the teen eventually growled.

Her mane turned into a swirling mass of stars, and her teen got sharper, much like the daggers in her eyes. She glared at the queen, and sent magic blast after magic blast, all which missed and added to Nyx's shock and anger.

The CMC, who had returned earlier that day but couldn't make it to the celebration, ran in and gasped to see their friend in her former incarnated self. It took a sharp eye from Sweetie Belle to see the pain written on the alicorn's face, but Scootaloo was the one to see who was being gripped by the neck in front of all the shell-shocked stallions, mares and foals.

Applebloom was the first to run up to the black alicorn reincarnation, and gently put a hoof on her. Nyx gasped in shock, and her pupils widened a bit, to their normal size, her mane darken back to it's natural regal purple and she gasped in shock, and teared up, she had never wanted to return into Nightmare Moon after that incident yet she did.

''Shh..Nyx it's alright...But what's happening to your sister?'' asked Sweetie Belle.

''I don't know...But she's being strangled and nopony can stop that mare....''

''Hmm, I had enough play for one day. Papillon is no weak to beat me, and they're probably the only ponies who even have a chance. WHAHAHAHA!'' Queen Butterfly's booming voice ran over the terrified crowd.

She then vanished into thin air, leaving Bookie to collapse to the ground, unconscious. Nyx gasped and ran over to her little sister, with the CMC and the other members of the Papillon as well as Fluttershy, the twins and the foal Twilight.

''Is she breathing?'' asked Rainy, shockingly.

''....I'll check.'' said Fluttershy, before checking her daughters breathing and pulse. ''She's alive, don't worry. Just unconscious.''

Everypony gave a sign of relieve, just as the sun began rising and forming a white alicorn mare, Celestia. Everypony began bowing, the mare walked over to the family and group of foals.

''What happened here, and why is Princess Twilight a foal?''

''Well..Um..'' mumbled the foals, in unison.

''...Princess, well. A mare...I think her name was Queen Butterfly...appeared, and grabbed hold of Bookworm. Twilight and the foals here tried to help her, but Twilight ended up having a spell put on her.....'' explained Fluttershy, nervously.

''Where is the mare now?''

''Well...After, Nyx...turned into Nightmare Mare out of shock and anger.....she vanished, leaving a unconscious Bookworm behind....''

''I see.'' said Celestia, calmly.

She walked over to the foal Twilight, and with a swipe of her horn, her magic pour into the foal returning her back to her natural age which was good. It ended with a kiss from Fluttershy, which made everypony gasp and for the three awake foals to blush.

''This was truly weird.....'' remarked Harm, only to get the other papillon members to stare at her. ''What? It's true.''

The group signed, and walked back over to the unconscious Bookworm. They frowned, she got attacked just because she found out the truth so soon.

The past (Part 1)

Later that night, Bookworm laid on her bed. She knew she was alive, but she couldn't feel any bone in her body. She began straining her ears though; hearing some muffled words which became clearly.

''When is she gonna wake up?'' came a up-class tone of voice, even though the voice hold the tone of a filly too; Harmony.

''Ah don't know, Harm.'' came a more southern voice; Melody.

''I hope she wakes up soon!'' came a voice of depression; one Bookie couldn't tell.

''Same here, Rainy.'' came a coltish voice; clearly it was Freshy. Bookie was shocked the the depressed voice was Rainy!

''Freshy; why not kiss her? Like in the Sleeping Beauty story?'' came a more energetic tone of voice; Dizzy.

If Bookie wasn't still half unconscious, she was sure that she be blushing by now. So they were still teasing her; when she was out of it?! But what happened next scared and shocked her; a pair of lips were placed on her own. She shot awake and even managed to jump a foot in the air; now she was standing on the ceiling, flapping her wings. She had a bright blush on her face; she was panting.

''Hey, it worked!'' cheered Dizzy; giggling.

Bookie glared down at them, looking at each of her friends until she saw Rainy. Her normal, bubbly and messy mane was no longer puffy, no it's was a dark pink and straight to the point it covered her left eye.

''Dizzy, ya know were gonna have a hard time gettin' her down now.'' said Mel, with a bored tone.

''Really? Bookie, come down. Come down, kitty! Kitty!''

'Does she think of me as a cat?' thought Bookie.

Mel groaned and hit Dizzy on the head. ''She's not a cat, ya know.''

Rainy saw this, and giggled a little. She still was as depressed as ever, but her coat colors were coming back. Bookie saw this, and decided to fly them in attempt to cheer up her best friend. She wrapped a hoof around the light cyan filly, and smiled. Rainy stared at Bookie for a second, before her mane bounced back to life. She smiled, and hugged Bookie. ''I'm glad your alright.'' she mumbled.

Bookie smiled gently. She was alright, despite still having a headache and was having a lightly hover from the fact she couldn't feel her legs very well. She looked down at her neck, gripping hold of the book pendent.

''Girls?''

The group looked at her, whilst a still slightly embarrassed Freshy stared at her, boredly. ''Uh?''

''And colt...Sorry..'' blushed Bookie.

''What is it, Bookie?'' asked Mel.

''Look at this.''

Bookie laid her pendent down on her bedside table, and tapped it gently. A holograph appeared from the pendent, and Bookie gently whispered 'Queen Butterfly'. The holograph showed what appeared to be a story and a picture of the evil alicorn and another of the mare as a white alicorn with a cyan mane which faded into pink. In the good picture, their was three fillies; a unicorn, a pegasus and a earth pony.

''Are these the daughters that she was talking about, Bookie?'' asked Harm, staring at the orange earth pony.

''Yep. I will tell you the story; as I believe we're connected to it.'' The group nodded, and sat down in front of the 8 year old alicorn. ''Once upon a pony tale...''

Lady Butterfly smiled down at her three foals: a orange earth pony with a dark mint green mane and yellow eyes, a dark blue pegasus with a red and light blue mane and sliver eyes and a golden unicorn with a pink and purple mane of swirls and dark violet eyes.

''Sweet Music, come here.''

The earth pony filly glanced at her sisters, before walking up to her mother. ''Yes, mother?''

''Here you go, sweetie.'' said Lady Butterfly, smiling. She gave the young foal a pendent which looked like a black note and gently placed it around her neck. ''It will create any instrument you want but not just that, it can enhance your voice; shock waves to destroy anypony who tries to take it from you.''

''Wow. Thank you, mother.'' said Sweet, putting a hoof lightly on the pendent and it glimmered. ''I will treasure it.''

''As I expected you would.''

The earth pony walked back to her sisters, and sat down. The two fillies smiled down at the black note pendent; wishing they had one.

''Weather, your turn.''

The pegasus's ears shot up, and she got up and walked over to her mother. ''What is it, mother?''

''Here.'' said the alicorn. She placed a small pendent; a rain drop; around the filly's neck, the tomboy placed a hoof on the pendent in curiosity. ''It can create any weather you'd like, but the strongest weather; lightning will erupt when somepony tries to take it away from you.''

''Cool. I'll not let it out of my sight.'' said the tomboy; getting a glare from her sisters. ''Uh...Thank you, mother.''

Her sisters giggled, as the pegasus walked and sat down next to them.

''Aurora. Come here, my little unicorn.''

Aurora blinked, and as she stood up; a faint glow wrapped around her young golden body. She walked up to her mother, and bowed.

''No need for that, sweetie. Now, here.'' said Lady Butterfly, as she put the last pendent around the unicorn's neck; a book. Aurora blinked, and laid a hoof on the pendent carefully. ''It can find any knowledge, you need. But not just that; telepathy. It can allow you to hear the thoughts of other ponies; and they'll be able to hear your thoughts if you want it too.''

Aurora nodded, lowering her head in a bow like way. ''Thank you, mother. I will cherish it.''

''As I expect from you, little one.''

The past (Part 2)

For weeks after that, Aurora could tell something weren't right. The sky would darken earlier; lighten later. It was supernatural; suspicious. She laid on a grassy hill, watching the sun. It was mid after-noon, but the soon was setting; dusk setting over to a east coast. She sighed; her pendent shimmering. She spotted it, and thought back to her lessons with Lady Butterfly.

'Maybe mother was right...' she thought.

She gripped hold of the pendent, and brought up a holograph like her mother had taught her. She muttered 'earlier night, later morning'. It came up with some results, but the one which shocked Aurora was magic; alicorn magic. But that couldn't be possible; nothing could control the sun and moon.

She had to tell her mother; the only known alicorn in the land. She got up from her spot in a grass and turn-tail for home. The castle shined under the misty light of dusk; but Aurora was focused on finding her mother. But only dread and shock would await her; tragedy.

There in a middle of the room, Lady Butterfly's kind and soft appearance had changed into something dark and dreadful and it filled Aurora with shock; it couldn't be?! The mare turned around and snarled.

''To think you found out this quick. Your smarter then you look, princess~''

Aurora took a step back; her mother's kind and caring voice had change into a menacing crackle and she didn't like it. But she didn't have time to get her sister for what looked like blood red hair wrapped itself around her body. The hair had come from Lady Butterfly, herself.

''M-Mother.'' she breathed out, as some of her hair wrapped around her neck.

''I am no longer Lady Butterfly; but the new and improved Queen Butterfly!'' crackled the mare, tighten her grip around the young filly.

''Stop it!'' screamed Aurora, only to have her mouth concealed with the hair.

''Did I tell you that you could speak?''

Sweet Music and Weather; who had heard their sister's cry ran/flow up the stairs and into the room. They saw their sister in coils of hair, with her mouth concealed meaning she was having trouble breathing; but not just that, their mother had changed into something dreadful and it filled both of the foals in shock and sadness.

''Weather!'' yelled Sweet. The earth pony gripped hold of her pendent; alerting Queen Butterfly's attention.

''That's right, I should remove them.'' approaching the foals.

'Sweet! Weather!' screamed Aurora, internally.

The unicorn's pendent shined, unexpectedly even to the filly herself. The warm and fuzzy light wrapped around the filly, and with a thrust of motion; she freed herself. Th light wrapped around her back; two wings forming though they were transparent, yet warm. The light also swirled around her sisters; boosting their powers and giving them a horn in Weather's case, and both wings and a horn in Sweet's case. Who knew the book pendent could do that? But that wasn't what mattered; what mattered was their mother turning back to normal. Sweet changed her pendent into a microphone; and sung into it. Shockwaves formed around her in circles. When they were shot; it didn't hurt neither Weather or Aurora.

Weather helped Aurora up; whilst Sweet kept their mother busy. Weather frowned, and hugged her sister. ''You alright?''

''I-I...am now. Thanks, Weather.''

''Any time, big sis.''

''...How do we change mother back?'' she asked.

''Hmm...I don't know...I really don't. But I overheard from mother once that there was a sealing spell.''

Aurora frowned and looked down. ''I know....but is it really our only option?''

''From what I can gather, come on. Let's get little sis and seal mother away..''

Aurora simply nodded, keeping her sad expression but she like Weather, ran over to their younger sister, who was holding their mother back. Sweet partly glared at them, and yelled. ''About time! Are we gonna do that sealing spell?''

''Yea...girls!''

The three young teens raised their pendents into the air, and formed a triangle around their mother. The pendents connected to each other via a white light. A tear dropped from each of the mares and the sealing spell began happening. Their mother was soon in-cased in ice before fading into a depths of the Equestrian oceans.

But that was a scafice. The sealing spell was dangerous and shouldn't be used. All the mares died that night, with the pendents faded into the night.

''...And I believe they somehow ended up in the castle of the two pony sisters, waiting till somepony found them and thus they created us.'' mumbled Bookworm.

''Wow, that's strong....'' stated Rainy.

''Oui.'' said Harmony.

''I, for once, have to agree with you, Harm.'' said Mel.

Bookie nodded to their reponeses. ''But...the problem is on we're the only ponies, who can even stop Queen Butterfly when she returns. But the only true spell that we know work on her, is the sealing spell and that's very risky.''

''About that, Bookie. When is she gonna return?'' asked Dizzy.

''I don't know, girls. The book pendent may have secret powers, but it doesn't predict the future........''

''We shouldn't worry about it, Bookie. We have a play to put on, next week. That's what we should be worried about.'' said Freshy, with a smile.

''Freshy....'' mumbled Bookie.

Rainwater

Meanwhile with Rainbow and Pinkie. Rainbow and Pinkie had both moved out of their own homes and moved into one know known as the Rainbow Party castle. It was massive, but only had three bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, two on each floor and other stuff.

Confetti Rain, or affectionately called Rainy, had grown up to adopt her mother's very hyperactive personality and hair style. Though, she utterly loved flying like her 'father'. Though she hadn't figured out that her pendent could summon rain, Rainy loved to make it rain all the same.

Like the twins, she too had become a older sister but this time to a little colt. This colt was known as Bullet, despite being only a baby earth pony, he appeared to have developed a sense to 'fly' like his mother somehow. Bullet's appearance was of a pink colt, weirdly, with a rainbow mane and magenta eyes.

Rainy was walking around town, towards Sugar Cube Corner which was where her mom was working at. She was to get cupcakes for her and her best friend, Dizzy. She walked in and saw her mom with a long line of customers.

Pinkie had recently taken over at Sugar Cube Corner with the cake twins as her apprentices. The twins job was in the kitchen, making the cakes and cupcakes and such.

''Mom, I know your busy but me and Dizzy want some cakes for our tea party?'' she asked, kindly.

''Oh, alright, sweetie. Pumpkin, give me a batch of cupcakes.'' she yelled, into the kitchen.

''Sure, Auntie Pinkie. Give me a sec.'' came the yell from the unicorn.

With magic surrounding them, a tray of perfectly frosted cupcakes appeared on Pinkie's back. Pinkie smiled and gave her pegasus daughter the cupcakes.

''Don't eat them in one go. Or you'll get a very very bad tummy ache.''

''I know, mom.'' smiled Rainy, carrying the tray on her back as she walked over to the door. ''Bye mom!''

Rainy smiled as she almost bounced along the mud walk out of town. She was heading towards a small cottage, just out of the town, which was where her best friend lived. Dizzy was the youngest of 3 fillies. All to Derpy Hooves, though the only one to her father, Doctor Whooves.

''Ah, your back!'' came a yell, as a wonky eyed unicorn ran over.

The unicorn had a straw colored mane, with beautiful sapphire blue eyes. Her coat was a greyish-blue color, similar to Derpy's. On her flank, unlike Rainy, was a cutie mark of a bubbly tornado.

''And with cupcakes!'' yelled Rainy, bouncing up and down with the tray surprising staying put in between her wings on her back.

''How do you do that?'' asked Dizzy, curiously.

''Do what?'' asked Rainy, confused.

''Have the tray stay on your back, despite jumping.''

''Hmm, I don't actually know.'' said Rainy with a giggle.

Dizzy smiled and giggled too.
