//-------------------------------------------------------// Pinkie Pie Squarepants -by nerdybat101- //-------------------------------------------------------// //-------------------------------------------------------// Twilight, Pinkie, and the Crystal Empire //-------------------------------------------------------// Twilight, Pinkie, and the Crystal Empire It was a beautiful sunny day in Equestria, and every pony began to smile with glee. Little fillies played around, while others either worked or chatted with others. Everypony in ponyville seemed to be happy and calm. Suddenly, a pink pony with a hot pink bubbly, mane began to skip down her trail. Every pony waved to her with happiness and joy. "Hi Pinkie Pie!" Bonbon said, coming out of Sugar Cube corner, "thanks for the banana nut muffins!" "Sure thing Bonbon!" Pinkie said cheerfully, "I'm sure Lyra will love them." Bonbon nodded her head and continued to go down her trail. Soon, almost every pony waved to Pinkie Pie and said things like, 'Hi!, Hiya!, Hey!, What's up!, Hello!, and etc.' Soon Pinkie finally reached her destination. She began to stare high and low at the amazing Crystal Tree castle, her best friend Twilight now lived in. "TWILIGHT!!!!" Pinkie yelled, and began to bang on the door, "I BROUGHT YOUR BLUEBERRY DONUTS!" Soon Pinkie began to hear somepony come near the door. The door made a creaking sound when it slowly opened. "Hey Twi! I brought your donuts! Their nice, warm, and fresh out of the-" Pinkie slowly opened one eye and had her whole mouth dangling to the ground. Twilight's hair was messy, as if a monkey had dug through her hair. She had dark purple bags under her eyes, very crusty eye boogers, and her eyes were a shade of red and white. Pinkie soon brought her mouth back to place, and looked at Twilight closely. "Twilight! What happened?" she asked. Twilight let out a big sigh. "Ever since I was able to get connected back to the other world from the mirror, I kept wondering if I could help activate the other mirrors too. So I've been doing a lot of research and was able to make 4 mirrors activated!" Twilight replied, with a shy smile. Pinkie still looked perplexed. "So why the long face?" Pinkie asked, getting up to Twilight's cheek. Twilight sighed once again. "I was able to make all 4 mirrors active, except one." Twilight said, and beginning to sound even more tired. Pinkie helped her up, as she felt to the ground. Then she pulled out a doughnut, put in front of Twilight, and smiled. "Doughnut?" she asked. Twilight reached for the doughnut, and stuffed it in her mouth. "Fanks! Pinkie!" Twilight muffled. "No problem!" Pinkie Pie and Twilight soon headed into the throne room, where they had talked about the mirror Twilight was having trouble with. "Wait....wait......wait, so lemme get this straight!" Pinkie started, "Your telling me that you're not able to activate this 5th mirror because it's another dimension?" Twilight nodded. Pinkie then forcefully put her tea cup on the arm of her throne. "Well that's crazy talk!" she began, "If it's a mirror from another dimension, how come the princesses can't use their magic to activate it? Or at least help you find a way to active it?" Twilight shrugged. "I don't know Pinkie. I told them about the mirror yesterday but, Luna just shrugged, Cadence said it was once activated, but not with alicorn magic, and Princess Celestia told me to ask somepony or someone out there with strange magic." Twilight replied. "Yeah, but who do we know who has dark, weird, strange, and chaotic magic?" Pinkie asked, and began to slump down in her throne. The two thought for a minute in utter silence. Then, an idea popped in their heads. "Dark." "Strange." "Weird." "Chaotic." "DISCORD!" they both shouted. "Ugh! I'm so brain-dead, I forgot that there was someone out there that could help us! Discord!" Twilight said in disbelief. Pinkie only stared at her with a smirk on her face. "I knew it all along. My Pinkie-sense was telling me!" she gloated. Twilight only rolled her eyes. "We need to head to the Crystal Empire. Discord is there because he wanted to help out with the bakery contest that's soon coming up. Don't know why." Twilight replied. "Maybe he just wants to join in the competition, win it, and then throw every pony's cakes in their face!" Pinkie guessed. Twilight giggled. "Yeah, that's a possibility." Twilight said, as her and Pinkie headed towards the train station. Suddenly, a purple and green dragon got in their way. "Hey Twilight! Where ya goin'? We're supposed to be baking our gem cupcakes." Spike said, with a little pinch of sadness. "Me and Pinkie are about to head to the Crystal Empire to talk with Discord. Don't worry, it's not about the contest either." Twilight replied. Spike's face soon began to brighten. "Alright then! But just promise me that you'll tell him that I'm gonna kick his tail in six days." Spike yelled out cheerfully. Twilight looked at Pinkie, who nodded her head up and down. "Alright, I'll do it. Cross my heart and hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye." Twilight promised, while doing the Pinkie-promise pledge. Spike smiled. "Okay, well.....catch ya later. I'll see if I can finish up some ingredients while you're gone." Spike said, and headed back to the kitchen. Twilight soon faced Pinkie. "Shall we be on our way?" she said, letting a hoof out the door. Pinkie looked down at her friend's hoof, then up at Twilight and smiled. "We shall!" Down at the train station, Pinkie and Twilight got on their train, and were ready to head out. Twilight soon started to feel a little over easy about not telling the others that she and Pinkie had gone out without them. But she had ensure that Pinkie had told them the message already when they stopped at Sugar Cube corner to get a little snack on the way. Pinkie sat on the side which was next to the aisle and across from the other seats, while Twilight had faced the window. "So Twilight," Pinkie began to ask, "do you think Discord is willing to help us?" Twilight shrugged her shoulders. "I dunno. He probably will because he's always willing to or begging to be our friend. Or he probably won't because he claims we always get him into trouble. So it's basically a 50-50 chance." Twilight replied. Pinkie had to agree with her there. Finally, after waiting 3 hours, Twilight and Pinkie had arrived at the Crystal Empire. Pinkie was so thrilled, she jumped and awoken from her sleep. "We're here! I can't believe we're here!" Pinkie said, while jumping up and down. She then realized that Twilight had still been sleep. Pinkie got closer into Twilight's ear. "TWILIGHT! WE'RE AT THE CRYSTAL EMPIRE! WAKE UP SLEEPY HEAD!" Pinkie yelled through her friend's ear. Twilight jumped up and began to panic. "WHAT!? WE ARE!? ARE WE SOMEWHERE ELSE!? WHAT HAPPENED!? WHERE AM I!?" Twilight said while shaking. Pinkie soon started to giggle. "Ha ha ha! Oh Twilight! You jumped up and went like 'Oh no?! What happened?! Where am I?!' ha ha ha" Pinkie Pie giggled and hit the ground. Twilight grunted. "Ha, ha, ha very funny." Once the came out of the train, Twilight and Pinkie headed straight towards the Crystal Empire. On their way, lots of things stops their tracks. Many pegasi were carry books, flags, and banners. Earth ponies cooked the cakes that were ordered, and began to set them up. While unicorns, made up the baker stages for the contestants. Pinkie and Twilight looked around. Every pony seemed busy. "It's a good thing the contest and the festival aren't until six days." Twilight said looking at the earth ponies carried a huge base to a piece of cake. "Where's Discord? Shouldn't he be out here, ummm........well....helping?" Pinkie asked. Twilight shrugged her shoulders. "He might be in the castle, let's go check." Twilight suggested, as her and Pinkie headed towards the castle. When they finally reached the castle, Pinkie saw a familiar face, helping another pony with a cart full of frosting. "Try to be careful! And don't spill that frosting! Save it for the cake!" the pony said. Pinkie soon recognized the voice. Twilight's eyes soon followed in her direction. "Pinkie, what are you staring at?" she asked. Pinkie soon pointed at what she was looking at, and Twilight looked closely. "That colt, he looks familiar, and his voice sounds familiar too. I'm starting to think I'm not the only party-pony here." Pinkie replied, Twilight then signed. "Pinkie, we don't have time for this, we gotta get to Discord so he can help us with the mirror." Twilight replied. Pinkie soon took a closed look at the stallion who had helped the crystal pony with the cart of frosting. He then turned around and faced Pinkie. Pinkie soon lighten up inside, and ran to the colt. "CHEESE SANDWICH!" she hollered. Twilight soon saw Pinkie run up to him, and let out a big sign and followed her. As Cheese Sandwich was handing somepony a festival flier, he didn't pay close attention to Pinkie Pie, who finally made it to Cheese and gave him a big panda bear hug. Cheese, on the other hand, hugged her back. "Well hello there Pinkie!" Cheese said, cheerfully, "what are you doing here?" "Well........" Pinkie began, as she pulled out a white board from nowhere, "me and Twilight are looking for Discord because Twilight did an experiment on the mirrors, she was able to activate all but one, and now we're gonna see if Discord can activate it." Cheese blinked slowly, and became a little confused, but then finally understood. "So you guys are looking for Discord?" Cheese asked. Pinkie and Twilight both nodded their heads up and down. "Well, he's in the castle. He's suppose to help me with the directing-of-people, but Cadence needed him for something." Cheese said, giving Pinkie and Twilight directions to where Discord was located. "Thank you so much Cheese Sandwich." Twilight replied. "No problem Princess Twilight." Cheese said, as he begun to bow down to Twilight. Twilight rose his head back up. "Please, just called me Twilight." Twilight said to him, with a shy smile. Twilight and Pinkie headed towards the castle entrance. "Ooh! I can't wait to see how that mirror works!" Pinkie said, with a pinch of excitement. Twilight had to agree. "Yeah, it would be nice to finally see how it works." Twilight replied. As Pinkie and Twilight made inside the castle, a familiar orange pegasi with a blue mane and a purple pegasi with a grayish-purple mane stood in front of them both. "Hey! What kind of game is this!? You don't know who we are!? We're the saviors of equestria! Twilight is a freaking PRINCESS! I'm a PARTY PONY! I plan lots of parties! Why, I even planned your princess's WEDDING!" Pinkie argued. The guards looked at each other, then back at her. The orange colt then stared at Twilight. Twilight caught his gaze, and blushed. "We're only here to see Cadence and Discord, it's majorly important." Twilight said. The guards stood away from the door and let Twilight and Pinkie through. As she went in, Pinkie stuck her tongue out at both of the guards. Author's Note Is it doughnut or donut? I tried my best to act as Pinkie, the pony with tons of enthusiasm. //-------------------------------------------------------// Twilight, Pinkie, and Falling Pianos //-------------------------------------------------------// Twilight, Pinkie, and Falling Pianos Twilight and Pinkie Pie finally made it inside the Crystal Empire. The crystal chandelier began to sparkle and shine off from the sun. Pinkie and Twilight soon went searching for Discord and Cadence, until Pinkie's tail began to twitch. "Pinkie, why is your tail twitching?" Twilight asked, looking at Pinkie confusingly. Pinkie began to look up, and her tiny pink ears began to hear something falling down in Twilight's direction. "TWILIGHT! MOOOOVE!!!" Pinkie yelled. Twilight still continued to look at Pinkie confusingly. "Pinkie, there's nothing falling from the sky-" just then, Pinkie cut Twilight off and tackled her to the other side. At that moment, Twilight began to realize that Pinkie was right. A piano fell straight through the indigo ceiling, hitting the crystal floor with broken pieces and keys. "Discord.....NO NOT THERE!!!! SHINING!" Twilight and Pinkie both heard a shriek similar to Cadence's. Suddenly, a loud moan came from the crystal throne room. Twilight began to blush nervously. "Pinkie, is it me or did you hear a moan coming from Cadence?" Twilight asked, and began to shake. "Yeah I heard it, it sounded like Cadence was having se-" Twilight covered Pinkie's mouth before she could finish. "Don't finish that sentence." Pinkie Pie nodded her head. Suddenly, another moan came from Cadence. Twilight began to shake, sweat, and blush even more. She began to shake little of how Fluttershy would. "I'M GIVING IN AS MUCH AS I CAN PRINCESS! CAN YOU FEEL IT!" Discord yelled. Twilight soon started to panic. "Is Cadence really doing the deed with Discord? Am I gonna be a niece to dracona-ponies? What about Shining Armor? Where is my big brother in all of this? Is my sister-in-law really cheating on my big brother?" Pinkie held to Twilight shoulder tightly. "Don't worry Twilight, I'm sure you sister-in-law isn't doing the deed with Discord. Besides, even if they were, Shining Armor totally wouldn't allow it." Pinkie explained to Twilight. All of a sudden, a yelp came from a familiar and manlier pony. It almost sounded like Shining Armor. "Discord, it doesn't-" but whatever hit him, had cut him off, "NOOOO!!! NOT IN THE MANHOOD!!" Twilight and Pinkie stood at the closed door in silence. No pony said a word. But in exactly ten seconds, Twilight shrieked. "NOOOOO! They're in there doing.......OH MY CELESTIA!!!! I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!!!!" Twilight began to fly up in the air, and her leg was ready to rage and bust the door open. When she succeeded, she went flying in the throne room in slow motion. Cadence was sitting in her throne while Discord had a huge platform in his bare paw and claw. Twilight's leg was headed straight towards Shining Armor, who only fell back. Pinkie Pie noticed all this happen and began to laugh. Cadence looked at Twilight surprisingly, and Discord only chuckled and fell to the ground. "HAHAHA! Oh this is priceless! I thought chaos and disharmony was funny but get this, Twilight kicked her own brother!" Discord said, and continued to laugh. Pinkie only joined in on his laughter. "Yeah, and it was all in slow motion too. Like whoosh! Then Shining turned around slowly, and then BAM! Ha ha! That's the second funniest thing Twilight has done all day!" Pinkie chuckled. Twilight grumbled. Then looked at Cadence, who only shrugged. Discord, Pinkie Pie, Cadence, Twilight, and Shining Armor were all sitting at the crystal table on their magenta pillow seats. Cadence was using her special aid kit for Shining who had a bruise on his left cheek. Discord and Pinkie sat next to each other chuckling and cracking up jokes, while Twilight sat at the end of the table pouting. "Ok, now would a certain-somepony like to explain to me just what the HECK YOU THINK YOU WERE DOING?!" Shining Armor yelled, very furiously. Pinkie and Discord couldn't help but laugh. Twilight sighed. "Look I'm sorry for kicking you bro, but me and Pinkie have a reason to be here." Twilight explained. "Yeah! You see, Twilight's been working on how to activate the mirrors and stuff, and that one mirror that she just so happen to not activate is from another dimension. So we came all the way here to talked to Discord and see if he could help us, since the mirror only attracts strange chaotic magic." Pinkie explained. Twilight nodded her head at Pinkie and smiled. "Thank you Pinkie." she said softly. Princess Cadence put the aid kit down for a moment and faced Twilight. "So if that's why you both are here, why didn't you just knock on the door and tell us?" Cadence asked, with a confused look on her face. "Because you, Discord, and Shining Armor were making these weird noises and....." "Take it this way, she thought you all were doing the deed." Pinkie said and giggled. Discord and Shining looked at Twilight and Pinkie very perplexed, while Cadence giggled. Twilight hid her face and blushed. "Pinkie!" she said out of embarrassment. Cadence laughed a little louder. "So Twilight, you really think I would stoop that low.......it doesn't sound like a bad idea." "HONEY!" Shining yelled out. Cadence only giggle a little more. "I'm just kidding, besides, I'd never take Discord. He's too busy trying to win Fluttershy's heart." Cadence said, which only made Discord blush a little. "What do you mean trying to win Fluttershy's heart! You may be the Princess of Love, but you aren't the princess of whom I chose to love. Talk to the claw!" Discord stated, with his claw in Cadence's face. "Anyway Twilight, I was trying to get Discord and Shining Armor to move one of the cake platforms out and give it to Cheese Sandwich. But unfortunately, there were some difficulties and stuff falling." Cadence explained clearly. Twilight and Pinkie only looked at each other then back at Cadence. "So, you've found a way to activate that mirror?" Shining asked, rubbing a cold ice pack on his check. Twilight nodded her head. "I think if I finally activate this mirror, I'll be able to finally move on and study them!" Cadence smiled. "Of course, Twilight Sparkle, the pony who wants to know everything about everything." Discord pledged. Twilight rolled her eyes. "Look Discord, will you help us or not?" Twilight asked, in a ignorant manner. "Fine....if I have too. But I'm only doing this for Pinkie Pie, not you Miss Grumpy Pants." Discord shot back. Cadence handed them keys leading to the basement of the Crystal Empire. "The mirror is exactly where the other mirror use to be." she yelled, as Twilight, Pinkie, and Discord headed towards that direction. "This is about to be one crazy experiment...."Twilight mumbled to herself. Author's Note Yeah after this chapter...I think I might wanna change the rating :twilightsheepish: https://static.fimfiction.net/images/emoticons/twilightsheepish.png //-------------------------------------------------------// Twilight, Pinkie, and a Mirror //-------------------------------------------------------// Twilight, Pinkie, and a Mirror Pinkie and Twilight had followed Discord to the basement of the Empire. It wasn't unfamiliar to Twilight, this was the same basement when she encountered her nightmare. She remembered it all, the door she had entered through brought her back to Canterlot castle, where Celestia sat firmly on her throne. Twilight continually asked Celestia why she had arrived there, but Celestia stared at her beloved student coldly saying that she had failed to save the Crystal Empire. The nightmare did return the night after when she, or Spike, had saved the empire from being under Sombra's control. She didn't save the empire. He did. Why does it bother her so much? Pinkie caught a glimpse of Twilight looking around the basement. She sighed, then gave Twilight a sly smile. "This basement..." Pinkie started, "was the very basement that helped you discover how to stop Sombra." No luck. Twilight still hung her head down. "This basement....is also in the empire, which also is the same empire you had to face Sunset Shimmer in to retrieve your crown." Twilight stopped in her tracks. She looked at Pinkie very ushering. "You've done a lot in this empire. You saved your sister-in-law from DYING FOR CELESTIA'S SAKE! You were in charge of getting everypony's minds off of Sombra's return!" Twilight slowly began to smile. "Don't let other people back you down Twilight! You're a freaking princess! LET YOUR FLAG WAVE GIRLFRIEND!" Pinkie shouted. Soon, a purple shaded flag with Twilight in the middle was teleported into Pinkie's hooves. Twilight looked at Pinkie confusingly, but Pinkie shrugged her shoulders in return. They both turned to Discord who smiled softly at Twilight. "Hey she's right you know! I was only bringing up the spirits because I am a GOOD friend! You all think I'm still bad and stuff and-" "Thank you Discord." Twilight replied softly, in a loving way. Discord blushed and smiled back. "No problem." The 3 had finally made it to the basement where the mirrors once were placed. All were gone, except one. The mirror had shone, still sparkling, still shiny, it just needed to be active. "So....this is the wacky mirror?" Discord asked, changing into a construction man outfit. Pinkie and Twilight nodded quickly. Discord got deep in his thoughts. He put his claw on the mirror, closed his eyes, and transported some magic of his to the mirror. The mirror glowed a bright yellow and the mirror began to shake. Twilight was amased. "How does he do it?!" she thought. Pinkie store at the mirror in awe. When Discord was finished, the mirror shaked for a minute, then stopped and began glowing. "There. Done and activated." Pinkie and Twilight stomped their hooves for Discord. He decided to play along, so he bowed. Suddenly, Pinkie's ears started slightly twitching. "Someone is coming down here." she reported. Twilight began to flinch. Discord wavered a shield for her safety, but Twilight ran up under Pinkie. Discord rolled his eyes, "Still don't trust me eh?" "Discord of course I do, sort of." "Sort of?!" "Just because you've earned everypony's trust doesn't mean you've earned mine all the way." Beat. Discord felt heartbroken. "I made a flag in your honor to cheer you up. This is my rebuttal?!" "Discord please...." "I activated this mirror for you when I could've been on a lunch date with Fluttershy and Rarity!" "DISCORD!" The steps had gotten louder. Twilight let go of Pinkie's grasp and held on to Discord. Twilight blushed nervously, "Happy now?" Discord laughed, "Very." They stared at each other for a moment, locked in a gaze. Then Discord looked away. "Twilight I-" That's when an army of balloons and confetti fell from the steps. Followed by a flabby, rubber, lifeless chicken doll. "CHEESE?!" Pinkie called out. Cheese Sandwich came from down the stairs with a exhausted look of his face. He fell flat on his face, while still exhaling and inhaling. " Hey Cheesy! You okay?" "I'm fine." Cheese replied, with his face on the cold crystal floor. He lifted his head up and saw Twilight and Discord hugging each other. "Quick question Pink..." he started, "why are they hugging?" Twilight looked up and realized she was still embracing Discord. The funny thing about it was that he was embracing her back! The two let go embarrassingly while blushing. Pinkie and Cheese laughed. "So....why are you down here?" Pinkie helped Cheese up. "It's actually a very long story." Cheese replied, still out of breath, "ya see-" "Actually Cheese we don't have time for that!" Twilight interrupted," we have to figure how to activate this mirror and see what it leads to. It might depend on its gravitational force." "I love it when she talks like that...." Discord said softly, but the party couple could hear him with their senses. They turned and face him, he blushed nervously. "WHAT?!" Discord said innocently. Twilight walked around the mirror, examining its features. She then put her hoof on the mirror, but then pulled it away after feeling a shock. "Ow!" Twilight yelled. Discord ran quickly to aid her. "Be careful Twi! May I remind you that this is activated by my magic!" Twilight sighed, as Discord wrapped a bandage around her hoof. "You're right! We need a test subject to test the mirror and give us some results of this world." "Maybe one of Fluttershy's little pests? Ooh! I suggestion the rabbit!" "Angel Bunny!? No Discord, do you know how protective Fluttershy is with Angel?! I remember I used her animals for a magic trick myself and she literally FREAKED OUT! Imagine sending Angel, her most precious creature, to another world where he could be hurt, or worse, KILLED! She would KILL ME!" "Maybe a little pony pest of yours, or Spike can go." "Spike is just a baby! Besides, wherever he goes, I go, and it's not gonna work because I don't think your mirror magic likes me." "I'll go." Cheese, Discord, and Twilight all stared at Pinkie in awe. "WHAT?!" they all yelled. Author's Note Yes...there's some Twicord. I'm gay when it comes to this ship. I mean Fluttercord is cute, but I prefer Twicord. Also....I adjusted some details in the story's description, characters, and some other junk. //-------------------------------------------------------// Pinkie, Cheese, and the Bikini Bottom?! //-------------------------------------------------------// Pinkie, Cheese, and the Bikini Bottom?! "IN THE NAME OF CELESTIA, ARE YOU INSANE?!" Twilight yelled at the top of her lungs. Twilight, Discord, Cheese, and Pinkie all stood in the basement of the empire across from the mirror Discord had activated. Everypony, including Discord, stared at Pinkie in awe. "I'll go Twilight! I don't know what to expect in this world....but...." Pinkie stared at the mirror. A rainbow shadow glowed around it, then around Pinkie's pupils. "....I feel like it's calling me, telling me to go there." Pinkie walked closed and touched the side. "It's your destiny?" Discord finished. Pinkie nodded. "B-B-BUT THERE COULD BE DANGER LURKING! WHAT IF IT'S A WORLD OF DEMONS AND THEY KILL YOU!? WHAT IF IT'S A WORLD OF SEA MONSTERS AND THEY EAT YOU?! ZOMBIES PINKIE! ZOMBIES!!" Twilight shouted all at once. Discord put his paw on her shoulder. "Twilight remember....this is Pinkie Pie. She can handle anything, even a world of chaos." Discord reassured Twilight, who still seemed worried. "BUT YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT MIGHT HAPPEN?! PINKIE IS GOING SOLO-" "I'll go too." Twilight, Discord, and Pinkie turned to Cheese quickly in awe. "Oh great, first Pinkie and now YOU!?" Discord complained. Cheese took a deep breath. "Twilight is right about the danger and being killed stuff, but Pinkie is also right..." Cheese put his hoof around Pinkie. "...you never know what to expect." Pinkie blushed and smiled brightly. "If she's going to take a risk, then I want to be a part of it! Besides.....no party pal of mine is going anywhere exciting without her biggest fan!" Pinkie stared at the mirror, then at Cheese and smiled, then faced Twilight firmly. "Let me do this Twi!" Cheese stood by Pinkie's side. "...Let US do this!" they both said, proudly with their chests held up high. Twilight took a deep breath, closed her eyes, then opened them once again and looked at the party couple. They were determined to risk their lives for her. "They're so bold to go, can't say no now." Discord replied caringly. Twilight sighed in defeat. "Six days, you will discover this world. Get as much research as you can, stay together no matter what!" Pinkie squealed, "You mean?" "Yep. You two may head to this world together!" Hearing that made both Pinkie and Cheese squeal like crazed-fangirls jumping up and down. "ONLY SIX DAYS YOU TWO!" Twilight reminded them demandingly, Discord put his paw on Twilight shoulder. "Twilight...don't ruin the fun." he advised. Twilight sighed, then replied to him with a sly smile. Pinkie and Cheese had rode on the train, along with Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, and Applejack. Rarity had been off on vacation with Sweetie Bell to Manehattan to help Coco Pommel with a fashion line. "OOOOOHH! I'M SO NERVICITED! I can wait to go to this new world! It's gonna be SO AWESOME!" Pinkie squealed with delight. "I know! Who knows what kind of food they have there? Or what kind of parties we can plan?" Cheese added. "Now now, don't get too worked up y'all. It's only for six days time and it's only research! Nothin' more." the country pony said, trying her best to be supportive. "Oh c'mon AJ lighten up! There going to a new world! Who knows what could occur!?" "Speaking of which, I'm gonna check out the food cart, want anything Pink?" Cheese asked. "One of those DELICIOUS RED VELVET CUPCAKES WITH THE STRAWBERRY HEART SPRINKLES!" Pinkie replied, getting all in Cheese's face. He nodded, then headed to the food cart. As soon as he left, Rainbow smirked at Pinkie very deviously. She then flew by her, and sat in his spot. "So...you and Cheese huh?" she said, putting her elbow on Pinkie's shoulder. "What do you mean?" Pinkie asked in confusion. "Oh you know what I mean." Applejack raised her eyebrow. "What she means is, do ya' fancy Cheese a little?" Applejack restated. Pinkie blushed nervously, "What do you mean?" Fluttershy giggled, "No need to hide it Pinkie, we can tell that you like Cheese." "I don't like him, I mean he's a good friend and all but I don't like him all like that. I mean.." "Oh c'mon! He calls you Pink..." "Gives you cupcakes." "Offers to go along on a dangerous quest with you." With what her friends were saying, it sounded as if Cheese liked her, which made Pinkie's face become as red as a cherry. "Maybe he likes me, I just don't like him back." "Mmmhmm...." Fluttershy, Applejack, and Rainbow Dash all stared at Pinkie with a raised eyebrow. The cart door opened, and Cheese had returned with a pack of gummy worms and the cupcake Pinkie had requested. "Sorry I took so long! Some old lady was gonna take you cupcake, so we had to have a game of checkers and guess what?! I WON! So not only to have a delicious cupcake, you have a winning cupcake!" Cheese exclaimed. "Wow Cheese! That's so-" Pinkie stared at her friends, who all smirked at her and laughed. "-nice..." Pinkie finished, with her whole face red as cherry pie. Twilight paced around the mirror, waiting for Cheese and Pinkie impatiently. "Where ARE they?!" Twilight asked demandingly. "I'm sure they'll be here soon Twilight, you just have to wait." Cadence reassured her. Twilight, Cadence, Discord, and Shining Armor were all in the main hall, along with the mirror activated by Discord. "Besides, they probably stopped at the candy store or something. Knowing Pinkie Pie she sure would have. " Discord said, rather irritated. Everyone soon heard the clash of hooves down the hall. Pinkie, Cheese, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, and Fluttershy all ran in the room and were out of breath. "We....made it." Pinkie said, hitting the floor. Cheese picked her up. "GREAT! We can get this over and done with!" Discord said, with a lot of annoyance. "Discord!" Twilight snapped. "Alright alright!" he replied, with a fake plastered smile. Twilight then faced Pinkie Pie. "Alright Pinkie," she started, " In six days, you and Cheese are to do research on this world, nothing more! You may take a break if you wish, but research is you're main goal! So try not to forget that." "Okie dokey!" "Oh! I almost forgot! Discord, could you hand me that chest over there?" Discord teleported it in Twilight's hooves. She turned to him very disgusted. "Discord!" The draconequus stared at her with disgust. "What?" The alicorn rolled her eyes, then opened the chest. A silver bracelet with Pinkie's element of harmony charm levitated from the chest, then transported to Pinkie's wrist. "This bracelet will let you and I have contact with each other. It's very fragile so be careful!" "Okey dokey! Cross my heart and hope to fly stick a cupcake in my eye!" After hearing that, Twilight smiled, and guided Pinkie and Cheese to the mirror. "Be careful y'all!" "Oh please don't get hurt!" "Have an awesome adventure!" Hearing her friend's encouragement and last words, Pinkie took a deep breath and faced the mirror. She felt a hoof on her shoulder.It was Cheese, who smiled brightly and face the mirror too. Pinkie hesitated and put her hoof in the mirror, afraid it might shock her as it did to Twilight. When she put her hoof through, she felt nothing, it had went right through! Amazed, Pinkie turned her head back only to see her friends, even Discord urging her to go through. She smiled, took another deep breath, and went completely through the mirror. Before Cheese went through, AJ gave him a word of advice. "Take care of her Cheese! With all yer might!" Cheese nodded, "Will do!", and went through the mirror successfully. Everypony in the room sighed. "Oh goodness, it's only been two minutes, and I miss Pinkie so much." Fluttershy said sadly. Everypony nodded their head in agreement. "I'm sure she'll be fine, she's Pinkie Pie. Who knows what'll happen." Pinkie had her eyes closed while going through the mirror. After five minutes had passed, she opened them only to find out that she's falling in the sky. "OH MY GOSH! AHH!" Pinkie yelped for her life. She saw Cheese across from her whose eyes were also closed. Though he didn't look like himself. He almost looked like an older version of Spike, only, his face still looked the same, and so did his hair. He had scaly arms and legs, a long dragon tail that resembled Spike's, and long legs. Pinkie then caught a glimpse of herself. She looked the same, only, her face and complexion seemed more female like. She had a puffy hot pink skirt and a pink lemonade t-shirt on, along with red-violet flats. She stared at her appearance in awe, but was still horrified that she was falling from the sky. "CHEESE!" Pinkie yelled desperately. Cheese opened his eyes, then screamed in horror. "Pinkie! What's going?! Where are we?! What are we?! WHAT THE HAY IS HAPPENING-" "Uh Cheese, as much as I'd love to answer your questions.....I THINK WE HAVE BIGGER PROBLEMS!" Cheese looked down to see a sand based ground and looked back at Pinkie. "Oh dear." The two looked down at the ground and began screaming with their lives. Once they both hit the ground, the two moaned while rubbing their head roughly. "Ugh....that hurt." Pinkie said, rising up from the ground. When she did she took a look around her. The scenery was astonishing. The clouds looked like floating flowers, the land she was now standing in didn't only have wavy seaweed grass, but also sand under it. This confused her a lot. Then, strang pink creatures started to float all over the place. Pinkie recognized the looks, they were......JELLYFISH?! Cheese saw it too as he still sat on the ground. He stared at them astonishingly. "Wow! I've never seen so many jellyfish in one place before. They're so....." before Cheese could finish his sentence, he saw Pinkie walk in front of him, reaching out a helping hand. Jellyfish started to swarm around her in a heart shaped sparkling way with the sun shining. Pinkie had a bright smile on her face which lit Cheese up. "Need a hand Cheese?" Pinkie said, still with her astonishing smile. Cheese smiled, "Yes, most definitely." Cheese had gotten up from the ground with the help of Pinkie. They both stared at each other with complete silence. Pinkie was still smiling and began to blush. "Don't look at me like that..." she said, nudging her head down. Cheese lifted her head up. "Why wouldn't I want to look at my admirer in such a astonishing way?" Pinkie giggled at that note, then faced Cheese once more. "Pinkie I-" Pinkie shushed Cheese by putting one of her fingers on his mouth. She sniffed up something, and her mouth became all watery. "Smell something gooooooooooooooooood." she said, in a hungering way, "and my Pinkie sense can tell me where it's coming from!" Author's Note So Pinkie's a appearance in this world is related to her appearance in the human world, she just looks more fish like. I kinda mixed her appearance with Lagona from Monster High in my head :twilightblush: https://static.fimfiction.net/images/emoticons/twilightblush.png As for Cheese, he looks like how he should look like in the human world, but also is more fish-like. (He looks like Gil from Monster High, only he doesn't have the jar on his head :ajbemused: https://static.fimfiction.net/images/emoticons/ajbemused.png) //-------------------------------------------------------// Pinkie, Cheese, and Spongebob?! //-------------------------------------------------------// Pinkie, Cheese, and Spongebob?! "Spongebob! We've got an order for two krabby patties on the double!" Spongebob ran to the stove quickly and puffed his chest up. "Coming right up Squidward!" He began tapping his chin, then he saw a stack of raw patties on the table from the corner of his eye. He smirked. "Are ya' ready spat?" he asked, referring to the spatula in his grip, "Lets do this!" Spongebob hit a backflip, while throwing his spatula in the air. When he made it to his destination, the spatula flew in his grip. Still standing backwards facing the stove, he used his spatula to flip two patties on the stove. When the patties reached the stove successfully, Spongebob's direction was now towards the table with the condiments. "Sorry for this my love!" Spongebob said to his spatula, as he turned it into a boomerang and flung it towards to table, causing onions, tomatoes, lettuce, and pickles to fly in the air hitting the buns in their proper position. All that was left was the patties. When they had became a tender shade of brownish-red, Spongebob changed his spatula back to it's original form, and flipped the patties to there destination. Once his mission was complete, Spongebob grabbed a tray, put the plates with both patties on it, and rung the bell. "Two hot flying beauties here on the double Squiddy old pal!" Spongebob said, in his optimistic tone. Squidward rolled his eyes, then snatched the tray from Spongebob and handed it to the hungry customer. Spongebob sighed. "Oh Squidward, it's so boring ya' know?" Squidward rolled his eyes, knowing he had no choice but to play along, "Oh yes.......I do." "I mean, it's nice to make krabby patties and see the customers happy but...." "But.....?" "It would be nice to see someone or something new." Squidward sighed, he had to admit that Spongebob was right for once, "As much as it pains me to say this, you're right Spongebob. Seeing these old customers is a bore. If we were to have someone new, maybe this job wouldn't be so boring-" The door busted open, and two creatures walked in. One collapsed on the floor. "Oh my gosh! Cheese are you okay?!" Pinkie yelled. Cheese lifted his head from the ground, "Never better!" Pinkie turned only to see everyone staring at her and Cheese as if they had never seen them before. But they haven't! Pinkie started nervously laughing, while Cheese struggled trying to get up. "Umm.......we're new new here." Pinkie stammered, wiping her skirt nervously. All the male fish, including Squidward, couldn't help but blush. He then left his former harbor and reached Pinkie. He then got down on one knee. "You are the most incredible being I have ever seen. I am Squidward, how do you do?" Squidward grabbed Pinkie's hand and kissed it. Cheese had witnessed it all and engulfed into flames. He then arose from his spot and smacked Pinkie's hand away from Squidward's grasp. He then plastered a fake smile on his face and reached his hand out for Squidward's. "How do ya' do?" Cheese greeted Squidward. Squidward shook his hand in return. Pinkie then started smelling the aroma coming from the kitchen. She remembered what she had came here for. "I would like some food please!" Pinkie exclaimed. Everyone turned to her direction again, Spongebob only smiled. "Two krabby patties, coming right up!" he yelled from the kitchen. Pinkie tilted her head in confusion. "Krabby Patties?" she asked herself, "what are those?" Everyone stopped what they were doing and gasped in disbelief. They faced Pinkie, staring at her in awe. She backed away close to Cheese who also looked confused. "Did I say something wrong?" Pinkie asked, Cheese responded with a shrug. Suddenly, a reddish, crab figure busted through the door closest to the kitchen. He stopped and stared at Pinkie and began to blush. He had never seen such beauty. He walked towards her and bowed down. Cheese sighed, "Not this again." "Hi! I am Eugene Krabs, owner of this fine restaurant known as the Krusty Krab!" Pinkie smiled and reached her hand out for a handshake. "Howdy! I'm Pinkie Pie and this is my buddy Cheese Sandwich! See, we're kinda new here so we haven't tasted your food before." This response only made Krabs smile. "Well then, let's get you two to a table and get your food ready!" Krabs replied, escorting Pinkie and Cheese to their table. Once they reached their table, Squidward thought quickly to pull out Pinkie's chair for her. "Thank you!" she replied. Spongebob walked out with Cheese and Pinkie's order, placing it lightly on their table. Pinkie smelled it, and her mouth started to water. "Smells so good....." Pinkie said, licking her lips. "Now time for the taste test!" Cheese added. The party couple both lifted up their burgers, staring at each other giving the signal of when to dig in. "On the count to three..." "One..." "Two..." "THREE!" Both Cheese and Pinkie took a big bite of their dish. They are both astonished. Cheese became teary-eyed, "This is the best sandwich I've ever HAD!" Cheese didn't waste his time, he dug in the rest of his dish. Pinkie did the same. Spongebob sighed happily. "Even this proves that I still got it!" The night hit. Pinkie and Cheese laid on the table exhausted. Mr. Krabs walked out with his keys in his hand. "Well you two should be heading home, it is closing time by the way." Pinkie head arose quickly. She had almost forgot. She was so caught up in the food, drinks, and desserts that this world had, she never focused on a place to stay. "Uhh...right...home." she then poked Cheese on the forehead. He swatted her hand away and groaned, "five more minutes." "Cheese, wake up! It's night time and we have no place to stay! The restaurant is about to close." Cheese lifted his head up quickly, "WHAAT?!" He was lucky to catch Spongebob wiping the last table, he was always the last to leave. Cheese waved his hands in the air to catch Spongebob's attention, luckily he saw him and walked towards their table. "What is it Cheese?" Spongebob asked. Cheese gulped, "Well....you see-" Pinkie cut Cheese off, "Me and Cheese aren't exactly from this world, we're ponies from this world called ponyville and we were told to come here and investigate your world but I got so caught up with your delicious sandwich and foods that I forgot to find us a place to stay so for six days may we please please please PLEASE stay at your place?!" She said it all at once, that it made her collapse on the table. Cheese slapped his forehead, "PINKIE!" "What? I couldn't hold it in!" Spongebob had to think for a minute. "Well this is surprising news, but don't worry, I'll help you out on your mission! Firstly, tomorrow, we'll start by you guys meeting my other two friends, then telling those two, along with Krabs and Squidward the whole thing. Sound like a plan?" Cheese looked at Pinkie, she nodded her head. Cheese took a deep breath, "Alright! We could use the help! The person who sent us here wants us to do a lot of research." "Great! As for sleeping at my place, I don't mind! I could use the company!" "Can we go now! My energy level is on a 'I'm-going-to-kill-you' stage." Pinkie complained, laying on the table very fatigued. Cheese and Spongebob started laughing. From afar, across from the Krusty Krab at the Chum Bucket, a familiar little pest saw the whole thing go down. "So....they're from another world eh?" "It appears so." said a voice coming from a electronic device. "Interesting, I must know more." The party couple, along with Spongebob, reached a pineapple building, which appeared to be Spongebob's home. Along the way, Spongebob told Pinkie and Cheese about the Bikini Bottom and all it's wonders. He also learned some stuff about their world too. "So...." said Spongebob, continuing their previous conversation, "This Sombra guy tried to take over the Crystal Empire, but failed miserably?" "Mmhm!" Pinkie nodded. "Sounds familiar, I know a guy just like Sombra. His name is Plankton. He's the restaurant across from the Krusty Krab, him and Mr. Krabs were friends until they had a rivalry against food services. He plots revenge to try to steal the krabby patty formula, heck, I remember he stole Neptune's crown and took it to Shell City. It started a whole bunch of......" "...Chaos?" Spongebob looked at Pinkie in disbelief. "How'd you know?" "Just a hunch!" Spongebob smiled, then turned to open his door. Pinkie and Cheese examined his house, and found it quite.....cute. They were soon greeted by a sky blue snail with a pink lemonade shell, with a huge red swirl and tiny red polka dots. "GARY!' Spongebob ran to the snail and hugged it with all his might, "I missed you so much buddy!" Gary's direction was now towards Pinkie and Cheese, who nervously waved. He meowed in confusion, Spongebob turned his head. "Oh! Those are just some friends staying that are staying night for a while. They won't harm you." Spongebob ressured Gary. Spongebob looked at his storage closet. He smiled and walked towards it. Out of the storage closet, there were two green sleeping bags. "I guess I still had these from me and my friend Patrick's little 'Light' party." He laid them on the floor carefully and sighed. "Well, I don't know about you guys, but it's been a long day for me! I'm going to go head to bed, there's snacks in the fridge and counters if you guys get hungry. Night!" Spongebob turned the lights off. "Night!" Pinkie and Cheese waved to Spongebob as we went upstairs to his room. Pinkie laid on her sleeping bag and sighed, "FINALLY! WE CAN GET SOME REST! All this walking, and transporting, and meeting people, and EATING has made me tired!" Cheese replied with a laugh, then laid by her side. Pinkie playfully pushed him away, 'You're too close!" The two laughed. "Hey Pink, as much as we're going to go through.......I'm glad to go through it with you." Pinkie smiled and blushed. "Yeah...." she agreed, reach out to grab Cheese's hand, "Hey Cheese, promise me something." "Anything." "For the six days that will past, promise me that we'll always be in this together." Cheese was slowly drifting off, but he heard Pinkie's promise. "Of course." "Pinkie promise?" "Cross my heart and hope to fly...." Cheese scooted closer to Pinkie, that she could feel her breathe on him. They shared a gaze. "....stick a cupcake in my....." Cheese drifted off to sleep, as he scooted down to Pinkie's level. "Eye...you forgot eye you doofus." Pinkie kissed his forehead and drifted off to sleep in Cheese's arms. Author's Note THIS CHAPTER IS ONE OF MY FAVORITES! I LOVE IT! :rainbowkiss: https://static.fimfiction.net/images/emoticons/rainbowkiss.png Now den......time to focus on our problem :pinkiecrazy: https://static.fimfiction.net/images/emoticons/pinkiecrazy.png //-------------------------------------------------------// The Crystal King and the Tiny Menace //-------------------------------------------------------// The Crystal King and the Tiny Menace "Five more days." Spike said, as he put the last of the frosting on top of his cupcake tower. Twilight came around the corner with candy sprinkles and more frosting for his tower. Spike put the finishing touches on his masterpiece, then backed away and stared at it in awe. The gems on his cupcake made it shine as the sun shone behind his stack of crystal gem cupcakes. Spike's mouth began to water as he kneeled down before his cake. "All hail the wonders of this GLORIOUS BEAUTY!" Spike praised, "why, it's even more beautiful than Rarity." Twilight laughed, "I'm sure it is." Discord joined the two, staring at the stack as well. "It sure is, very very beautiful indeed." he said, in a grandma voice minicing Twilight. Twilight and Spike jumped back and screamed a little. Discord was dressed up in an old grandma dress, wearing a wig with a hat on, and had on makeup that made him look almost as if he was an old woman. He then rolled his eyes and turned back into his old self. Twilight and Spike sighed in relief. "Dude, don't EVER scare us like that again." Spike replied from his scarce spot. "Oh please, I was only trying to warm up my fair, how should I say this....." Discord teleported closer to Spike's face. "Component....." he said evilly, and deep. Twilight cut in between the two. "Alright, alright that's enough of madness from you Discord. Shouldn't you be getting ready from the contest yourself?" Discord sighed, "Yes, you see, Fluttershy and I were working on our 8-layer, double decker carrot cake together at Sugar Cube Corner in Pinkie's kitchen....." "8-layer? Double decker?" Spike said in defeat. "Yes, but.......she had a meeting to go to with that, hippy-dippy, crazy lunatic pony, Tree Hugger, down in the Everfree Forest, so I got bored. Then I decided to come down here and see how my.....competition, is going." Discord explained. Spike grumbled. "Nah, I bet since Fluttershy left with Tree Hugger, you got bored and decided to come here and gloat about how great your cake is!" Discord smirked. "I was going to do that, but I promised Fluttershy I wouldn't gloat until the competition. So there you have it." Discord stuck his lizard tongue out at Spike, who did the same. "Alright you two calm down!" Twilight said, calming them both, "save it for the competition." Spike quickly held his mouth as his cheeks puffed. He then let out a belch as fire came out. "Ow...that hurt more than the last time." Spike said, as he rubbed his stomach. Twilight caught the letter with her magic, opened it and began reading. "Dearest Twilight,", she read, "I need you and your friends, along with Discord and Spike, to report to the Crystal Empire immediately! It's an urgent emergency! ~ Celestia" "Why does she need us to go?" Discord grumbled, "I don't wanna see that naggy princess who always tells me what to do." "I don't know, but I have a feeling that it has something to do with that mirror you activated." Twilight, along with Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Rarity, Applejack, Spike and Discord all made to the empire as fast as they could. In the main hall, stood Princess Cadence, Luna and Celestia, along with the mirror Discord had activated. "Twilight! You've made it!" Cadence shouted with glee, " and you've brought your friends!" "And Discord....." Luna added, in an annoyance type of way. "Well I didn't wanna come! But your sister insisted that I did so, talk to the claw girlfriend!" Luna rolled her eyes. Celestia, along with Luna and Cadence, walked towards the group of friends. "Twilight, I'm glad you've made it." Celestia replied with a smile. Twilight smiled back. Until Celestia's smile became a frown of concern. "...because I have some unfortunate news." This made everypony gasp. "What is it?! Are creatures from the mirror coming out and invading Equestria?!" Rarity yelped. Celestia nodded. "No, but there is a threat that we believe has come back from the dead." Everypony gasped once again. "Who is princess?! Chrysalis, Tierk?! Trixie?! Starlight Glimmer-" "Sombra...." Discord finished. Everypony turned to him and gasped. "CAN WE STOP WITH THE GASPING PLEASE?! It's freaking annoying." "How did you know that it was Sombra?!" Cadence asked in shock. "I can sense his ancient magic, and I can tell you, it's not very strong from the state that he's in." Discord continued to smell his scent, "I've also noticed that he isn't the only evil scent in this world. He's close to someone with the same power but not as much as his." "Who is it then?!" Rainbow yelled impatiently. "I DON'T KNOW! But they're from that other world Pinkie Pie and Cheese Sandwich are in." Plankton and Karen starting tracking the source that Pinkie Pie and Cheese used to come to their world. "Find anything sweetie?" Plankton asked, taking a suntan on top of Karen. "No not yet, I've just tracked some old sand. But there is a strange tracking down by Jellyfish fields." "Well to Jellyfish fields we go! I want to study this device or object those two creatures used to get here." Plankton said evilly. Meanwhile, down in Spongebob's humble home, Pinkie and Cheese were having a breakfast cook-off in honor to feed Spongebob, Patrick and Sandy. "Go Pinkie Pie! You've got this girl!" Sandy shouted. "C'mon Cheese! Show This girl what you're made of!" Spongebob gloated. "I'm hungry! Hurry up." Patrick said, rubbing his stomach. Pinkie had her spatula in a boomerang shape, flinging it towards the table of frozen waffles. Once the waffles made it successfully to the 12 toasters on the counter, Pinkie quickly ran to the fridge and karate kick a box of strawberries, and a bottle of both hot fudge and whipped cream to the counter with 5 plates for each hungry guest. Cheese performance was excellent also. Not only did he manage to cook six tasty eggs and have them done in seconds, but he was also able to make fresh honey bacon and crispy sausages. Once Pinkie had finished putting the finishing touch on the waffles, she and Cheese Sandwich worked together and performed a tango dance, getting the eggs, bacon, and the sausages to their destinations. As Cheese twirled Pinkie to the table with the plates, Pinkie spinned on her tiptoes and kicked the 5 plates down to the table. Once finished, Pinkie twirled back to Cheese and landed in his arms. Spongebob and Sandy applauded, as Patrick dug in his dish. "That was some mighty fancy dance moves ya' got there!" Sandy complimented," I didn't know y'all pony folk learned karate!" Pinkie rubbed dust off her chest with confidence, "I have to thank my sister Maud for that!" "And the Cheese on these eggs are splendid Cheese!" Spongebob added. "Thank you!" Cheese said with pride. He then caught a glimpse of Pinkie's bracelet, which was glowing like crazy. Cheese elbowed Pinkie. "Hey! What was that for?!" Cheese eyed at her bracelet. When Pinkie caught a glimpse of it, she could also see it glowing like crazy. Her attention was then at Spongebob. "Uhh.....I'll be right back guys....I have to ummm......PEE! Right, I have to pee!" "Then go pee." Sandy urged, confusingly. Pinkie nodded her head, then ran to the bathroom. Pinkie made to the bathroom, then slammed to door. She put her bracelet up to her face, and pressed her charm as it glowed and showed a screen of Twilight's face. "PINKIE PIE!" All her friends, including the princesses, and Discord yelled. Pinkie's eyes quickly filled up with tears of joy to hear the sounds of her friends once again. "Oh I miss you guys so much!" Pinkie squealed. "Pinkie Pie! We have urgent news for you and Cheese that you must be aware of!" Pinkie wiped away her tears, "Okey Dokey! I'm all ears!" Celestia came to the camera, "We believe we've tracked Sombra, and we think he's came back from the dead and is planning on going to that world you're in." "There's also dark magic coming from that world as well." Luna added. Pinkie gasped, "WHAAT?!" "Have you found anything yet honey?" Plankton asked, in a bored tone. He didn't get a response. Plankton arose. "Honey? Karen?!" When Plankton fully arose, he saw what his computer wife saw. "That.....one......big......PORTAL." Suddenly, a figure came from the portal, which made Plankton jump. When the figure fully came out, he fell flat on the ground. Plankton still stared at him in awe. The male figure arose and dusted of his chest. He cleared his throat, "Hello. I am from the land of the Crystal Empire. I heard that this world is filled with chaos and proportion." Plankton stayed silent. "Who are you?" he asked. The male smiled evilly. "Why, I'm King Sombra....but please, call me Sombra." Author's Note Everyone, Sombra has arrived :pinkiecrazy: https://static.fimfiction.net/images/emoticons/pinkiecrazy.png //-------------------------------------------------------// Pinkie, Cheese, and a Magic Carpet //-------------------------------------------------------// Pinkie, Cheese, and a Magic Carpet "We believe we've tracked Sombra, and we think he's came back from the dead and is planning on going to that world you're in." Celestia's words rung in Pinkie head for the past three days. It was now day four of the mirror adventure with her and Cheese, and boy was it a experience to remember. Cheese and Pinkie had earn jobs, along with money, from the Krusty Krab under the control of Mr. Krabs. They became Spongebob's backup chefs in the kitchen due to their ponyville cooking skills. However, during their night out for ice cream, Pinkie Pie told her friends, including Squidward, Sandy, Patrick, Spongebob, Cheese and Krabs the news about an evil guy named Sombra plotting revenge and seeking this world to come and get strength. As the night rung on the fourth day, Pinkie had trouble getting sleep, going outside and sitting on the roof seemed to be the only thing to calm her nerves. Cheese could see her, Pinkie felt more homesick than ever. "Hey Pink?" Cheese asked, "Is everything okay?" Pinkie turned to face Cheese, who only smiled slyly. "Oh sure Cheese! Knowing that Sombra gonna try to take over Equestria again! That's just so okay!" she replied sarcastically. Cheese stared at his friend in disbelief. Pinkie never talked to Cheese like that ever since the 'Goof-Off Challenge' they had during Rainbow Dash's birthday party. "Pinkie, I was only trying to be nice." "You wanna know what's nice Cheese?! That every night, Twilight is constantly calling me-" "That is nice-" "Wondering if Sombra has appeared." Cheese grew silent. "Pinkie it's fine, let's just calm down okay? A wise friend once told me-" "OH JUST SHUT IT CHEESE SANDWICH!" Cheese was speechless, as Pinkie gave him a aggravated stare. "We were sent her to do research, not to make friends, or plan parties! If I.....if I would've came here MYSELF I would've solved this problem on my own! But no, you just had to tag along because what?! You wanna admire me more?!" Cheese hung his head down. "Huh Cheese?! Did all those lonely nights teach you SQUAT?!" "I wanted to come-" "WHY?!" "BECAUSE I THOUGHT YOU NEEDED A FRIEND!" Cheese's eyes began to fill up with tears, "I thought that you couldn't handle being lonely coming to this world, so I WANTED to tag along! And YES, I do love you Pinkie! By Celestia's witness, I've loved you for so long I can't stand it! I thought that by coming here, we could set things up right.....but, I guess I was wrong." Pinkie stayed speechless. At this point she knew what she said broke his heart. Admire her more? That was a LOT to take in. Sure Cheese did admire her, but not as much as Pinkie stated it. Spongebob opened the roof door, surprising both Pinkie and Cheese. They quickly turned their heads to only face him. "Umm.....guys, not to be rude but, why are you two up here?" he asked, in the kindest way possible. In was silent for a minute, then Cheese straighten up, hanging his head down. "No reason, I was just leaving." Cheese replied, which sent a cold chill up Pinkie's spine. Cheese disappeared, leaving only Pinkie by herself on the roof. "He....was trying to make me happy and cheer me up, and I pushed him away." Pinkie began crying, for she had pushed away a friend who tried to comfort her. Sombra paced across the floor of Plankton Restaurant home, the Chum Bucket. He had to think of a plan, because striking at the empire now could have him killed. He knew he had to think of something, something big, and this world had to become part of it. "So, if you're all evil and junk, how come you haven't thought of anything?" Plankton replied, with annoyance. Sombra turned quickly, he didn't have time for Plankton's ignorance. "And why haven't you decided to clean up the place? It's like a stick bomb hit and you never bothered cleaning up after yourself." Plankton sighed in defeat. "Oh fine! I don't need you, I have my computer wife and-" Plankton paused his sentence. "Say Sombra, do you have a love interest or any past lover of your own?" Sombra stopped his pacing. Love, that word hasn't came up to his ears for about a while, maybe even years. Why, he remembered the last pony he ever loved, but after betraying his kind, she banished him along with her sister. For this pony, was Luna herself. So since he and Plankton won't be with each other for long, he decided to tell him. "Actually, before I became evil, I did have somepony to love. She was an astonishing princess, but we didn't have much time to spend with each other, due to our home locations. We loved each other's company very much, went on a few dates and much, until I became evil, and studied dark magic. When the dark magic fully consumed me, she and her sister had no choice but to banish me, which was eternal. But the magic from the mirror to your world has brought me back, and now I may have revenge!" Plankton's light bulb lit up. "Your story gave me a few ideas-mind if I call you Somby?" Sombra cringed at his nickname, but he had to make amends with his new minion, so he nodded. "Well Somby, since those two princesses seem to be your biggest issue, we should take this down first. Pin them down with a couple of those great nightmare powers of yours, like lock them inside their own conscience." "So they won't get in the way, alright next?" "Then you strike at the other princess in charge, but her husband might get in the way, so attack him when you have the chance." "But what about those snaby-loisy elements of harmony, not to mention that one of them is a princess." "You take out the princess first alone, then without her, the elements won't work." Sombra smirked, for this was an excellent plan indeed. Now there was only one part missing, how would he defeat Discord. "Now, there's one more creature left, Discord the reformed villain who would probably fight me, how can I beat him?" Plankton had to think for a minute, then his light bulb quickly lit up again. "If you have enough magic, maybe you could transform into something cool to beat him." "Nice thought! I like your style Plankton. But, while I'm doing this what are you going to do?" Plankton sighed. "Well, not get in your way and probably straighten up here, then probably steal the Krabby Patty formula." Plankton hung his head down in shame. For he had a plan for Sombra, but not him. It was shameful, shameful indeed. Sombra had to think of something. He was his minion but, he gave Sombra a plan he could've never thought of. He was evil, but not heartless. "Hey Plankton, maybe you could help me defeat the Crystal Empire, and maybe when we win, we could feast on those krabby patties. We'd be rulers in our own world." Plankton's face lit up, "Really Somby? You mean it?" Sombra nodded. "GREAT! Now first things first, how are we going to make you stronger?" Now it was Sombra's turn to be brilliant. "The element of laughter is here, along with her element charm. We'll need a plan to calmly just take it from her." Day five, everypony in the Crystal Empire were sitting up the Crystal Fair. Ponies were cooking up sweets and foods, while others decorated or setted up games and rides. Twilight along with her other 4 friends, were walking in the street with their bags packed to stay the night. It was nice to come and visit for the fair, but this was the least of their worries. "Oh just look at all the crystal animals helping along with all the other ponies, it's all so lovely!" Fluttershy exclaimed. "Oh that's nothing, ever since the last crystal fair, those unicorns sure know what their doing with those straw hats." Rarity said, pointing to the hat full of straw hats. "..And those Crystal Berry Pies, they sure do smell mighty good! Don't y'all agree?" The ponies nodded in agreement. Rainbow turned her head towards the jousting tournament being set up. "They sure did update all their events! I can't wait to play, then go on the rides!" "..Wear beautiful hats!" "Eat pies!" "Meet the animals." Twilight sighed. "Yes girls, the fair will be fine and exciting tomorrow but remember, we have to check with the princesses to see if anything suspicious has happened. I wanna do this as soon as possible too to patch up things with Flash." "Oh yeah, I forgot you guys haven't seen each other in a while." Rainbow recalled. The girls made to the main hall, only meeting up with Shining Armor and Luna. "BBBFF!" Twilight squealed, as she ran up to her big brother squeezing him tightly. "Hey Twily! It's been a while." Shining barely got the words out his mouth, Twilight squeezed all too much. Twilight let go of her brother embarrassingly, "Sorry, I just haven't seen you since the last time I was here." "Well, I have been busy with royal patrol in Fillydelphia, but now I'm back!" Shining assured Twilight. "I hate to interrupt your moment, but my sister and I would like to have a word with you Twilight, and you all too." Luna informed. Twilight's face became serious. "Alright princess!" Twilight replied. Twilight and her friends, along with her brother and Luna, went into the dining hall to meet up with Cadence and Celestia. "Twilight! You've made it!" Cadence said, with joy. Everypony found a seat to sit in, once everypony were seated, Celestia was the first to speak. "Alright everypony, as you all know, Sombra has been released from his exile or has risen from the dead." Everypony nodded their heads. "Luna wanted to share us some information, it's not related tohim, but it is some information we would all need to know." Cadence spoke out. Fluttershy slowly rose up her hoof. "Umm....not to intrude princess but, where's Discord?" Discord bust down the doors, only to have everypony quickly turn their heads towards him. "Sorry everypony that I'm late!, had some things to take care of!" No pony ,but Fluttershy, waved to Discord. "Discord..." "Yes Tia?" he replied at ease. "Please sit down." Discord grew a straight face. There wasn't any seats, and even if there was space, it was quickly covered. However, Fluttershy saved a little space for him between Twilight, which made him smile. He quickly ran over and sat in between the princess and the pegasus. "Thanks Flutters! You always got my back!" The alicorn grumbled. Luna cleared her throat. "Well, I feel that it is now time to tell you all the tale of me and Sombra." Everypony gasped, expect Cadence. Luna looked at her for assurance, and Cadence nods in agreement. "Well, before Sombra became evil, he and I shared a love that was like no other. We both felt like we could relate to one another. After a few playdates as young children, I grew a crush on him, as did he for me. When we became teenaged, we feel in love with each other, so we decided to date. Then years passed, and he engaged to me." "Whoa! You were engaged to Sombra?!" Rainbow interrupted. Everypony shushed her, as she blushed and sat back down. Luna continued, "I am, or at least I was. After some dates, I wanted to make it official and tell my sister the big news. Until, I figured out that he was using forbidden magic, dark magic. When it fully consumed him, I no longer saw my fiance, I saw a greater evil, King Sombra. When me and my sister banished him, he looked at me with his ruby red eyes, for I had betrayed him, and his love." Everypony stayed silent. "I would always have nightmares, of that one day he returned to take over. The look he gave always haunted me, so I would punish myself for being cruel and abandoning the one I love. Just like when I punished myself for fighting my sister for a selfish reason." Just the thought of saying it out loud broke Luna's heart, making her cry. Some of the mares teared up a little. Luna came back to reality. "But now, it is all in the past. All we can do now is hope your friend can defeat him." She sighed, "Wherever he is." Spongebob, Squidward, Patrick, Sandy, Pinkie and Cheese all were heading towards the museum. Spongebob thought he could take his friends somewhere nice for their last day here. "I heard there was suppose to be a firefly exhibit tonight! Maybe we oughta heard there after the slideshow today." Sandy mentioned. "That sounds perfect Sandy! We'll head there after the slideshow." Spongebob agreed. Pinkie didn't seem to listen at all. She was too focused on Cheese and their fight yesterday. "I really popped the balloon this time." she thought. She had to talk to someone about it, so she choose Sandy since she was a girl. "Hey Sandy? Can we talk?" she asked, in a soft tone. Sandy turned. "Of course! I did wanna talk to you though, just didn't get to. Spongebob did say you didn't sleep at all and when you did it sounded like you were having a nightmare?" Pinkie sighed. "I don't know.....how to make up after a fight." Sandy became surprised. "A fight?" "Uh-huh. With Cheese, we argued yesterday." "What?!" "Don't worry about it, okay? It was my fault. Every since this whole Sombra thing, all it does is make me or him stress. He wanted to cheer me up yesterday, but all I did was use words to bring him down." Sandy stayed silent. The six made it into the museum, looking at all the fish head to the line for the carpet slideshow. Sandy caught up with Cheese, causing them to fall behind everyone else. "Huh, oh hey Sandy!" Spongebob stopped his tracks, and hid behind a chair hearing Cheese and Sandy's conversation. "What did you wanna talk about?" Cheese replied cluelessly. "Pinkie Pie." Cheese's eyes grew wide. Sandy took a breath. "Look Cheese, Pinkie told me first about the whole evil guy incident before she told you. This whole thing has stressed the poor girl out, and this is no time to be fighting with her!" "I know that." Sandy became silent, as did Spongebob. "Hey Sandy," Cheese began, "It's really weird. Fighting with her showed me clearly how I feel. I love Pinkie Pie. I want to be the one protecting her, me and no one or nopony else. And....if I lie because I'm trying to protect her and keeping her safe, the bottom line is I'm still lying to her. I realized that, no matter what happens, one thing never changes, and that thing is......my strongest feelings for her, they're what's real." He took a breath, "The only thing that's left, is the truth." Sandy sighed. "Well whatever makes you happy." "HEY GUYS!" Patrick called from the back, "They gave us all this carpets for partners to fly with during the Firefly exhibit!" A carpet soon came flying out, with Pinkie riding on top. "THIS IS SO MUCH FUN! I WISH WE HAD THESE BACK IN PONYVILLE!" She flew past Cheese who ducked his head, then returned and reached out for his hand. "You coming partner?" Cheese's eyes grew wide, as Sandy assured him to join on the carpet. He nodded, as Pinkie lifted him up on to the carpet. As the two flew out, Spongebob's carpet flew to Sandy. "Hey! You're not the only one helping them get together!" Sandy smiled. //-------------------------------------------------------// Pinkie, Cheese, and Fireflies //-------------------------------------------------------// Pinkie, Cheese, and Fireflies All the carpets from the Bikini Bottom flew high in the sky, all lining up for the Firefly Exhibit. The six friends paired on carpets, Cheese and Pinkie, Spongebob and Sandy, Patrick and Squidward, all headed towards the exhibit. Fearing of being late. "Aw man, I haven't eaten all day. I think my tummy might blow up." Patrick sighed. "Well you're not going to throw up on me I know that for sure!" Squidward ordered. On the carpet with Spongebob and Sandy, Sandy told Spongebob what she and Cheese were talking about. "So Cheese and Pinkie fought, Cheese and Pinkie feel bad about it, and plan to confess to each other." Sandy nodded in a agreement. "Yeah, I'm glad they are. They seem to be an inseparable pair." Spongebob sighed. "Well if you're gonna help, then I wanna be apart of it. Friends help friends don't they?" Sandy blushed, then looked away as her former friend's hand hit hers. The two looked away, then faced each again looking into each other's eyes. "Sandy I-" "Well color me pink and yellow! LOOK!" Spongebob turned to see a beautiful display of fireflies flying in the sky, covering up the darkness of the night. Couples cuddled, kids cheered, most teens took pictures, everyone on a carpet stared at the beautiful display in awe. Sandy scooted closer to Spongebob, holding his hand in a tight, but gentle grip. He blushed as Sandy wrapped his small yellow arm around her. "Ain't it beautiful?" "Yeah, it is." he replied, not looking at the fireflies, but his lover. Sandy's mind thought of how Cheese and Pinkie may be, if they're cuddling or not. She decided to search for them, not finding a trace of either of them. "Hey, where's Pinkie and Cheese?" "How's this one?" Cheese asked Pinkie, picking floating flowers on the water in honor of the firefly exhibit. Pinkie and Cheese were in their own part of the ocean, some part far away from everybody and all the crowds. Cheese wanted to pick some flowers for Pinkie, even if they were small. "It's been awhile since we've done something like this. It's nice to be out here with you Pinkie." Pinkie smiled, "I feel the same way. No matter what comes our way, we'll always be strong in the real way!" Cheese laughed, as he continued to pick flowers that were floating. Suddenly, Pinkie caught a glimpse of light from the corner of her eye. She turned around to see tiny fireflies fly towards her and Cheese. The crowd of fireflies grew bigger and bigger until it began filling up the night sky. Pinkie was astonished, she's never seen such beauty in her life, she had to tell her friends about it. Pinkie could sense Cheese staring at her from the corner of her eye. When she fully turned around, she noticed him two fireflies, orange and pink, glowing in the jars he had. She grabbed the jar with the pink glowing firefly, then stared at Cheese. "Cheese.." she began, "I'm sorry for what I said about you admiring me and stuff. I was just so stressed about the whole Sombra thing, I didn't know what I was saying. But after that fight, it made me realize something.....I......Cheese I-" Cheese shushed his friend. "It's ok Pinkie, I'm sorry too. And to be honest, That fight showed me how close we truly are." Pinkie smiled. She and Cheese opened their jars, letting out their special fireflies. As they flew away, Cheese's attention was towards Pinkie. He could feel her love, happiness, he could sense it all. It was annoying that she didn't confess it, but he accepted her as she is. He reached out for her hand, holding it gently in his. Pinkie looked up, staring at her partner's face like never before. Sure, at times Cheese was her goofball buddy, but now he was more, he was her lover. Pinkie held up his other hand as they gazed. The fireflies glowed behind them both, shining as brighter than before. Cheese wanted to confess his feelings, but confessing now would ruin the moment. So, he let go of one of Pinkie's hands, lightly holding her chin. He forcefully, but gently pulled her closer towards him. She didn't budge, she closed her eyes knowing what was going to occur. Before Cheese closed his eyes to kiss his beloved, his eye caught a figure heading to Jellyfish fields. "Cheese?" Pinkie asked, "Is everything alright?" Cheese faced his friend. "Oh uh, yeah Pinkie. Everything is fine but, I think-" Cheese remembered his words to Sandy, saying that lying will still hurt her even if it's to save her. "I think someone is heading to Jellyfish fields, and it might be Sombra." Pinkie gasped, "Oh no! I should call Twilight." "No Pinkie! We have to try to stop him alright? You can't turn to Twilight for everything." Pinkie stared at Cheese seriously, but also in a worrying way. But he was right, it was time for somepony, or someone else be the hero. "Alright Cheese, let's see." Pinkie guided their carpet towards the shoreline of the beach. When they landed, Cheese gave direct orders. "Alright, you look in the beach area, I'll look near the fields." Cheese ordered, as he and Pinkie spreaded out. Pinkie looked over and over, not finding the figure Cheese believed he saw. When she looked around for the last time, she gave up looking. "Cheese, I don't see any-" Pinkie's sentence was cut short, when mechanical arms grabbed her from head to toe. She was dragged across the sand ground, until she met up with Karen and Plankton. "Good catch honey!" Plankton complimented his wife. "What's going on?! Who are you?" Pinkie exclaimed. Plankton smirked evilly. "I am your WORST nightmare!" Pinkie's head cocked a little. "You seem very small for that job." Plankton grumbled. Cheese looked around Jellyfish fields, finding nothing but floating jellyfish and nothing more. Cheese sighed, maybe it was just his imagination. Soon, his eyes were met up with a dark cloud that was following him. Cheese touched it as it grew close, but the cloud seemed to suck him in. He hit the ground, only to pull on the ground for release, but he was fully sucked up by the cloud. Once he was sucked in, he found himself in a dark void, until a figure that looked like Sombra appeared. "You!" Cheese yelled, "WHAT DO YOU WANT?! How did I get here-LET ME OUT!" Sombra chuckled evilly. "You must be the friend of the laughter element, correct?" "Pinkie? Yes, why do you care?! You better not hurt her!" "I'm only here to make peace with you, but you seem to be acting opposite so since you'll be gone soon, I guess I can let you know about my plan." Cheese's eyes widened. "Once I'm done consuming the magic from your friend and her element, I'm going to lock the princesses in their own fears. Taking down Equestria and everypony along with it. Then maybe, I might consider taking over this world, but this is Plankton's trash so I would budge." "No! You're not getting away-" "Listen here CHEESE SANDWICH, I am getting away with this no matter what stands in my grounds. Once I consume your friend's magic, she'll be gone! Dead even!" Cheese gasped, "NO! YOU CAN'T DO THAT! I-" "You what?! Love her? Well let me tell you something Cheese, love is a strange thing, it's like somepony loves you, then they banish you away and try to kill you!" Cheese stared at Sombra surprisingly. "Sombra, were you in love?" "SILENCE!" Sombra pushed Cheese towards a shadow wall, knocking Cheese unconsciously. "You'll know what it feels like to lose the one you love." Sombra faded, as the background changed around Cheese. Cheese gotten up looking around his surroundings, noticing Pinkie Pie in a yellow sundress. She turned to him and smiled brightly, which lit Cheese up. "Pinkie! Thank goodness you're okay-" he fell down as something caught his foot. It was a golden chain wrapped around his leg pinned down to the ground. Cheese tried calling Pinkie's name, but she didn't seem to answer. Suddenly, a tall figure walked towards Pinkie, who seemed to look similar to Cheese's enemy Royal Pin. He embraced Pinkie, as she laid her head on his chest. Cheese screamed in defeat, his heart as broken as it became. He fell down, knowing that this would someday come to reality. Royal Pin and him would battle for girls back in Manehattan, and Royal Pin always won. But Pinkie didn't seem interested in rich, fancy men. She was into men, more like Cheese. But what Cheese had witness, seemed the complete opposite. He fell down to the ground, on his knees with his head hung down. "Let go of me you bucket of bolts!" Pinkie yelled, trying to free herself from Karen's grip. "Oh yeah, and what will you do if we don't?" Plankton backed up. "My friend Cheese with stomp on you like a bug." Pinkie threatened, which made Plankton jump a little. Pinkie heard footsteps in the sand, as she quickly turned her head to see a figure walking towards her and Plankton. She assumed it had been Cheese, kicking up her feet and shouting in excitement. "See! It is my friend Cheese! Be prepared to get stomped on!" Pinkie challenged. She started calling Cheese as he came closer, but when the shadow was no longer a shadow, Pinkie's frown faded away. "Somby!" Plankton shouted with glee. Sombra faced Pinkie, "I'll take that, along with any other magic you may have in you!" Sombra quickly grabbed the charm from Pinkie's arm, putting it on the silver brace on his arm. Once attached, he pointed it towards Pinkie, sucking the leftover magic consumed in her. Pinkie shouted for help, hoping Cheese would come and aid her. But he never did. Once Sombra finished, Pinkie turned grey and grew weak. "You know, I really thought Cheese would come and save the day, it's too bad he left you to save himself." Sombra stated. Pinkie's head rose up, "What?!" "He left you, without evening telling the princess that you were in danger." "You liar! Why should I believe you!" "See for yourself." Sombra pointed to a fake robotic figure of Cheese running away, going into what looked like the portal, but really wasn't. "CHEESE!" Pinkie called as loud as she could, but it was no help. For he was gone the moment she called his name. She hung her head down in defeat. "You know, it's hard to lose the one you love. I lost the one I love, and now that I'm back, you and those snobby little princesses will feel the same pain I felt when you all tried to kill me." "Kill? What do you mean kill?!" Pinkie asked surprised. Somra turned away, "Seems you don't know you're moon princess as well as you thought." "Luna? What does any of this have to do with Luna?" Pinkie thought. "Come now Plankton! We're only just beginning." Author's Note "Kill is such a strong word one might say." Yeah I know, I'm finding another way to end that sentence, so keep in touch. :raritywink: https://static.fimfiction.net/images/emoticons/raritywink.png As for Pinkie and Cheese's scene, just watch Tangled. :unsuresweetie: https://static.fimfiction.net/images/emoticons/unsuresweetie.png //-------------------------------------------------------// Pinkie and The Elements Of Harmony //-------------------------------------------------------// Pinkie and The Elements Of Harmony "Where's Pinkie?" Sandy asked herself. "She should've been here?" Spongebob blinked in surprise. "You knew she was gone?!" "Well, I thought she would tell me. I was only joking around and I didn't expect her to take it seriously!" Patrick spotted Plankton and Karen on the shore of the beach. Spongebob caught him staring and tried to find what he was looking at. "Hey Pat, what are you looking at?" he asked. Patrick stared at him with a bored and irritated look. "Well, it's not Pinkie or Cheese, but it's Plankton and Karen....and...." Sandy got a glimpse of what Patrick had looked at. She pulled out a telescope from her bag and got a closer look. As she looked closer, she saw Plankton and Karen holding Pinkie tight in a mental chamber. "PINKIE! They have Pinkie!" Sandy yelped. Squidward also spotted something. "There's weird black shadow coming Jellyfish fields!" Squidward yelled. Spongebob gasped. "We should check there first to see what's going on-" "NO! We should check on Pinkie first-" "But what if Plankton and Karen are heading there? We could think of a trick plan or something." Sandy bit her lip, then took a breath and faced Spongebob. "How about you go see what's goin' on down there, I'll release Pinkie." Spongebob gasped. "No! You'll get hurt!" Sandy held on of Spongebob's hands, then looked at him lovingly, but serious. "Don't worry, I can handle myself. You just go see what going on down there okay?" Spongebob hesitated at first, but sighed in defeat. "Alright, be careful." he said, hold her hand as he moved to the carpet with Patrick and Squidward. Sandy smiled brightly, just to assure him. "I will." she said, letting go of his hand and flying away down to the shoreline of the Goo Lagoon. Spongebob straightened up, then his face became serious. "Alright fellas! Let's do this!" Cheese lied on the dark ground selflessly. What was the point in loving someone, if they didn't love you back? Pinkie had always caught his eye, even in the nightmare he was put in, he still had his good vibes of Pinkie. He closed his eyes, as he laid on the cold dark floor of the void. "Cheese!" he heard someone call. Cheese sat up and turned to see who it was. It was a wavy, shadowy, faded version of Spongebob, Patrick, and Squidward. They must've been outside his dark shield. "Cheese!" he yelled again. "We're here to bail you out buddy!" Cheese hung his head down. "What's the use? It's not like she loves me anyway." Spongebob stared at him in shock. "Well...uhh.." he uttered. He was speechless, he couldn't even think of anything to say to cheer his friend up. Then it occurred to him, if Sandy were here, what would she say. He now felt that half of Sandy's soul consumed his own. "Alright, fine. Go ahead and rot here forever under this Sombra guy's control." Cheese rose his head up. "Give up on everything." Spongebob continued. "Leave everyone you love, let them take Pinkie away from us and probably do something cruel to her. I thought you loved her, but I guess not. Oh well." Spongebob turned away from the shadow ball, as Squidward and Patrick watched him surprisingly and questionably. "Or," Spongebob stopped in his tracks, "you can fight. Save Pinkie, be by her side forever and always. Sure, the condition you and her are in isn't stronger than Sombra and Plankton combined, but, if you fight for the people or ponies you love you can accomplish anything." Cheese sat up straight, Spongebob was right. It was time to fight and not let Sombra take him down. "You're right Spongebob! It's time to stop laying around and fight! But there's a problem. Sombra chained me to the ground." Spongebob had to think for a moment, then an idea popped in Patrick's head as he walk towards the shadow shield. "It's just like this one show I watched. If Cheese is looked up in his nightmare, all he has to do is believe that it isn't true." Spongebob's face brightened, "Pat, you're a genius!" Patrick whipped his chest with confidence, "Yeah I know." Cheese took Patrick's advice, looking at Pinkie kissing Royal Pin. He then remembered when he and Pinkie hit Canterlot for a party emergency and bumping into Royal Pin. He tried to kiss Pinkie and make moves on her, but she rejected him. Cheese's face lit up as he stood on his feet. "THIS ISN'T REAL! I don't know who Pinkie loves but, it certainly ISN'T YOU!" Royal Pin looked at him furiously. "Pinkie isn't a toy or an object to play around with," Cheese continued, as Pinkie turned and let go of Royal Pin, "She's a bright mare, and who ever she does love, they must be the luckiest colt in the world." Cheese held Pinkie's hands, as they both smiled and looked into each other's eyes. Royal Pin screamed, as he and the backdrop vanished into air, leaving a copy of Pinkie and the Cheese in the dark void. Pinkie smiled, "Go get her Cheese." "I will." he replied, as the copy of Pinkie vanished. Cheese looked down to his to see that the golden chain also vanished, as did the dark void. He turned to Spongebob, as they shared a smirk. "Let's go get her." Pinkie laid in the mental chamber, while feeling weak. It was the only thing risking her to do. She began to think of Cheese and how he left her to rot, or maybe get help. Even so, she knew that what Sombra showed her isn't true. She closed her eyes, hoping that at least getting some rest could help her earn some energy. Sandy quickly landed the carpet somewhere that Karen nor Plankton could see. She then hid behind the lifeguard post and watch as Plankton and Karen walked away. "Somby hasn't came back yet. I hope he got his castle because when he does, I'm gonna ran on the Bikini Bottom!" he said, as he laughed evilly. "I bet his plan worked with those princesses, and that Cheese fellow, I bet he was easy to beat! That fake robot walking into the portal was genius, just GENIUS!" Sandy heard what they had accomplished. She continued going to near the mental chamber where Pinkie was located. Sandy found Pinkie lying on the chamber floor, and knocked on the door hard but gently. Pinkie rose her head up, and smiled at the sight of Sandy. "Sandy!" she yelled, but softly. "I'm so glad you're here! Cheese bailed on me and went through the portal." "No he didn't! Plankton tricked you with one of his inventions. It was actually a robotic copy of Cheese, the real Cheese is at Jellyfish Field in a shadow shield." Pinkie gasped, "Well, we have to save him!" "Uhh, I think we should focus on getting ya' out first." "Oh, right. There's a remote over there on the lifeguard post, if you can get that then press the red button to let me out." Sandy turned to see the silver remote on the lifeguard post. Then she looked back at Pinkie. "Don't worry Pinkie, I'll get you out-" "NOT SO FAST!" Sandy turned, only to see Plankton and Karen facing her with laser guns. Sandy backed away slowly as the two slowly walked towards Sandy. "Any last words." Plankton replied. Sandy smirked evilly. "Yeah, EAT THIS!" Sandy karate kicked the laser gun Plankton had in his hand, putting it in hers. Karen shot the gun at Sandy, but Sandy performed a backflip to prevent from getting shot. Karen shot at her again, and missed. Sandy shot the gun at Karen to knock her down, but no lasers can out of it. Karen shot the laser towards the gun in Sandy's hands, causing it to fall. Sandy held her hands up in defeat, as she backed away slowly away from Karen who held up the gun, pointing it towards her. "Who's gonna save you now Sandy?" Plankton said, sitting on top of Karen watching it all. Suddenly, Spongebob jumped in the middle of Sandy and Karen. While Cheese jumped on the mental chamber Pinkie had laid in. "We are!" Spongebob exclaimed, kicking Karen's gun in the air, placing it in his hand. Patrick and Squidward came from behind with the remote unlocking the mental chamber Pinkie was in. Pinkie fell helplessly into Cheese's arms. "Cheese!" she uttered. "Pinkie!" Cheese exclaimed, hugging Pinkie tightly that she couldn't breathe. Suddenly, a light blue and pink aura shined around Pinkie and Cheese. Everyone turned to them, staring in awe. Pinkie stared to grow strength in her body once more, causing her to embrace Cheese in return, even more tightly than he was hugging her. Pinkie opened her eyes, noticing that magic was glowing around her, letting go of Cheese quickly. She turned to the portal, then towards Sandy. "Sandy, you guys handle with Plankton and this computer from taking over the Bikini Bottom! I will head to our world and stop Sombra!" Cheese blinked questionably. "But, what about your safety, and what if you get hurt-" "I'll be safe this time Cheese. Ya' gotta let me go." Cheese turned to Sandy and Spongebob for assurance. They nodded their heads. Cheese sighed. "Alright, I wish you luck." he said, letting go of Pinkie's hand. Plankton chuckled, as him and Karen flew in the air. "She won't stop Sombra, she never will! Sombra gave me a power bottle so I could take over the Bikini Bottom! Good luck trying to stop me!" he laughed evilly, then flew away. "And in second is....The Masquerade Cupcake Machine!" the announcer yelled. Discord and Spike stood by their displays, both giving each other cold stares and sticking out their tongues. Rarity and Fluttershy rolled their eyes. "And in first place is-" the announcer stopped his sentence. He, as did other ponies, looked up in the sky as it turned darkish orange. One of the crystal unicorns gasped in fear. "IT'S SOMBRA! HE HAS RETURNED!" and with that, everypony ran away in fear, as Sombra laughed evilly standing on the balcony of the empire. Discord spotted him wearing his old clothes, however they looked more mightier than before. Fluttershy embrace Discord tightly, as she tried to run away. Spike held on to Rarity as Rarity held on the him in return. Twilight, Applejack, and Rainbow Dash ran towards them all. "Twilight! May I ask, WHY IN CELESTIA'S NAME IS SOMBRA ON THE BALCONY ON THE EMPIRE?!" Rarity quickly covered her mouth. "Excuse me for my rudeness dear." "Well Sombra put us all in a void, locking the princess, along with Shining Armor in their dreams." Applejack explained. "Dreams, more like nightmares!" Rainbow corrected. "We need to use the elements of harmony! It's the only thing that'll stop him!" Fluttershy explained. "Umm, you do realize that one of you are missing, correct?" Discord replied. "Discord's right, without Pinkie we can't activate the elements!" Twilight said. "Then...what are we going to do?" Spike asked. Twilight kneeled down. "I...I don't know." she replied, hanging her head down. "HEEEY GUUUYS!" Everypony turned around to see Pinkie running towards them. "PINKIE!" they all yelled, running to give Pinkie a warm group hug. Twilight pulled away, "Wait...where's Cheese?" "He's stopping another evil guy from taking over the Bikini Bottom!" Everypony looked at her questionably. "The....Bikini Bottom?" Rainbow asked. "It's a long story." Twilight quickly changed the subject. "Look, it doesn't matter. All that matters is that we stop Sombra!" "Well he did take my charm for that bracelet you gave me, and some leftover magic I had inside of me. Making me all sleepy and junk." Twilight jumped up. "WHAAT?!" "So how are you here now?" Fluttershy asked. "Well, when me and Cheese hugged in the other world, some magical aura shined around us, giving me more energy than ever." An idea popped in Twilight's head. "Guys! I have a plan, but it involves getting my brother and the princesses out of their nightmares." Rarity looked at her friend questionably. "And how do you suppose we do that?" "They're in dreams right? All we have to do if show them the positives, and that it's only just a dream." Twilight slowly smirked at Discord. "And I think I know the creature for the peptalk part of the plan." //-------------------------------------------------------// Pinkie and the Chaotic Mirror //-------------------------------------------------------// Pinkie and the Chaotic Mirror Luna sat in the dark void all alone. Sombra had constantly showed her flashbacks, of when she hurt Sombra's feelings, even over misunderstandings. Then there was the day, when Celestia and Luna had to banish Sombra. "You're rein of terror is OVER Sombra." Celestia stated. Sombra yawned in response. "Oh Celestia, please....you'll never have the power I have! For I have DARK MAGIC!" Celestia smirked. "True, dark magic maybe powerful, but it will never be as strong as the elements of harmony!" Celestia started flying in the air, along with Luna, putting their horns together causing a rainbow beam to hit Sombra. When the beam turned into a bomb, it shot Sombra dead in the face, causing a crack in the ground where he laid in. Luna's eyes filled with tears as she watched her fiance die in vain. "How could I even be a princess, if I hurt the ones I love truly." "So you're just gonna let him win." Luna opened her eyes, looking all around where the noise was coming from. She turned to see Discord standing on the other side with his arms behind his back. "Discord! What brings you-" "Answer my question Luna. Are you just gonna let him win?" Luna became surprised. Whenever Discord spoken to her, it was either in a joking, or playful way. Now, he was speaking to her, as if he was trying to teach her something. Luna thought long about his question. "I don't know Discord. He was the one I ever loved, but I brought him into the corner, causing him to use his dark magic. I created King Sombra, and now I must pay the price for what I have done." Discord sighed. "Ya' know, I know I fella who was once evil. Until he came across a pegasus and her five friends who showed him that there was other things more important that power. Friendship. Luna, when you were reformed from being Nightmare Moon, you used to punish yourself because you believed that it was your fault. That I understand. But what I don't understand is, why punish yourself for something you didn't do." Luna turned to Discord questionably. "What do you mean?" "Sombra lost his own mind, he read the books, HE became evil. None of this is your fault. You may have made him sad, but you didn't make him read books on dark magic, he did. So why blame yourself for something you didn't do." He was right. Luna didn't force Sombra to read dark magic books, he choose to read them. Luna didn't give him dark magic powers and called him King Sombra, he did it all himself. She only felt bad, because she abandoned him, when he was feeling left out. But it wasn't her fault he became evil, no, it was his own. Luna arose with pride. "You're right Discord. He made the choice to become evil, and I have nothing to feel bad about his own decisions." Discord clapped his hands. "Well it's nice to see my old princess back!" Soon, Luna's shield had vanished, as did the golden chain around her leg. She looked up to see the main 6, Spike, and Discord staring at her. "Thank you all." she said. They all nodded their heads in response. Celestia cried her eyes out. She shown many flashbacks of Luna and Sombra getting married and of Luna leaving her forever. Then, it began showing the day when Luna refused to send Sombra away. "Sombra has lost all control. I should've known that this was coming." Celestia said to herself. "Alright, since he wants to be evil, looks like he's gotten what he wanted. Luna! It's time to go to the Crystal Empire and end this madness." Luna's eyes were shot dead with fear. "What?!" "We must use the elements of harmony to stop him, although, I don't know what they'll do." "What do you mean?" "I mean, the elements of harmony are capable of doing anything, banish, hurt, even kill." Luna froze. "No...NO! We can't use them Tia! Can't we at least try to compromise with him?" "NO! We've tried to do that but LOOK AT WHERE IT'S GOTTEN US LUNA!" Celestia yelled at her sister furiously, as Luna shook in fear. Luna then sniffed. "But, I love him and....no, I'm not doing it!" Luna ran away in tears, leaving Celestia alone in their bedroom. Celestia thought that Luna didn't want to love colts, if she did then Celestia could've used her magic to hook them up. But Sombra, no, it brought fear into her eyes to know that her sister could've been taken away by a devilish beast. "Don't let him take her from you Tia." Celestia rose up, as her backflash faded.She looked at Discord, who had never seen her so beaten down before. "Discord?" she questioned out loud. He nodded his head. "Look Tia, I know you too darn well. You also loved someone who you didn't want to let go, but you had no choice because he was evil and...very chaotic." he replied, wiping dust of his chest. He then continued his speech. "Anyway, you fear of Luna leaving you and never coming to you again, especially in the wrong hooves. But, you've gotta know that she isn't that same little filly who you taught how to raise the moon. She growing up Celestia, and if she wants to make these choices, let her." Celestia blinked in realization. As much as she loved Luna, she had to let her go. It was her time to live her life as a pony no matter the consequences. She wiped away her tears, and looked at Discord with her usual formal stand. "You're absolutely right Discord, it's time I let Luna go to live her own life. She isn't a filly anymore, and I must learn to accept that." And with that, Celestia barrier, along with the golden chain, had all vanished. She yawned, waking up from a terrible nightmare. As she opened her eyes, she saw her sister right in front of her with a assuring smile. "Don't worry Tia, I'll never leave you." Celestia cried as she hugged her sister tightly. Even some ponies in the room began crying. "Alright, enough tears, let's go get Cadence and Shining Armor!" Twilight pledged. Discord talked with Cadence, letting her out of her protective shield. She turned to see Shining laying on the floor, as Discord walked towards him. She ran up beside Shining, turning to Discord giving him a sly smile noting the "I got this" look. Discord backed away slowly. Cadence turned back to Shining, seeing him as he cried in his nightmare. Cadence placed her horn on the dark shield he was kept in, shedding a small tear while laying on the shield herself. Her horn glowed, as did the dark shield and the golden chain wrapped around his foreleg. The shield began to turn gold as one of Cadence's tears dropped on top of it. Cadence rose up, surprised at the results, and watched as the shield, along with the golden chain vanished. Shining woke up, and arose only to see his beloved wife staring at him worryingly and lovingly. They both embraced each other full of desperation and love. "Oh Shining, I thought you left me from Chrysalis." Shining blinked in confusion, then laughed. "It's okay honey. I'd never leave my wife in exchange for a bug." Cadence laughed, as she kissed her husband blissfully. "..And I'd thought you'd leave me for Buck." he muffled. Cadence pushed him away furiously. "WHAAT?" "What I did, but I'm with you now so it doesn't matter right?" he tried to pull in for another kiss, but Cadence hooved him away. "We're definitely talking about our 'before-marriage-issues' when this whole is over." "Understood." Shining agreed, once again kissing his wife blissfully. Rarity started crying. "Oh, it's like their wedding all over again." she said to herself. Discord stood with pride, then felt a poke on his shoulder, he turned only to see Fluttershy who smiled. "See, I told you. Even a reformed villain like you can bring ponies together. You even brought Luna back!" the she flew up to him, hugging him roughly, but softly. "And that's the things I love about you Discord." Discord blinked his eyes in realization, as his heart beated as fast as a drum. "You, love me?" "Of course, as a best friend." Discord shrugged his shoulders, and hugged his friend in return. Twilight turned to see the two embracing, as she sighed and rolled her eyes. "Well, you've earned my trust now Discord." she said to herself. Suddenly, the floor began to shake, along with everypony with it. Sombra appeared in the main hall with a furious look on his face. "GAHH! How in the world did you manage to break free?! And where did the element of laughter come from." Twilight, along with the princesses, her five friends, Spike, Discord and Shining Armor all turned to him with an evil grin, then Twilight and her five friends approached to him saying all at once, "Anything is possible with the magic of friendship!" With that said, Twilight, along with her friends, levitated in the air. Magical aura shined on their chests as they opened their eyes, which turned white. Then, a rainbow beamed shot down on Sombra, causing him to scream. "No...NOT AGAIN! Luna you're just gonna let them do this." Sombra yelled. Luna gave him a dirty glare. "Hey, it's not my fault you decided to go evil." she replied, rolling her eyes. The rainbow beam completely shot on Sombra, causing him to scream in fear. When the beam vanished, everypony cheered for victory. No more worries, no more nightmares, no more fighting, everypony's troubles were now gone. "Congratulations Twilight! You've saved us once again!" Celestia pledged. "My little sister is growing up!" Shining murmured, while tears began to fill up in his eyes. Twilight turned to her friends, sharing a group hug. Discord picked them all up, joining in the mix. Suddenly, Pinkie's ears twitch as her eye were shot dead with fear. She pulled away from the hug, as she looked around for what she heard. "You alright Pinkie?" Rainbow asked. Everypony in the room heard laughter as they turned to the chaotic mirror to only see Sombra. He chuckled evilly. "Did you REALLY think you'd see the last of ME?! I still have an evil minion up my sleeve. Not to mention, the element of laughter's little boyfriend." He jumped into the mirror. "OH NO! Cheese is still there protecting the Bikini Bottom!" Everypony grew confused at first, then gasped in fear. "Well, it looks like it's up to us to save them then! We can't just leave those poor..ummm....whatever kind of creatures they are alone." Discord pledged. "They're fish." Pinkie informed. "Well....LET'S GO SAVE SOME FISH!" Rainbow chanted. //-------------------------------------------------------// The Bikini Bottom and Equestria //-------------------------------------------------------// The Bikini Bottom and Equestria Cheese, Spongebob, Patrick, Sandy, and Squidward all walked on the hill leading to the Bikini Bottom. The night blue sky seemed dirty orange, the once beautiful flowers that were once colorful were now dark grey and black. Towns were destroyed, most fish were wearing black metal bucket with silver horns on top and 'CM' engraved on each one. Each fish also had on black armor with neon purple fire streaks on each one. Sandy stared at the appearances in fear. "Wow, and to imagine he's only doing this to get revenge." "Tch, for a very stupid reason." Squidward grunted. Spongebob, Patrick, Cheese and Sandy nodded their heads in agreement. "Well no matter what happens or what happened here today, just know that we're always gonna be in this together alright?" Cheese assured his friends as they nodded their heads in agreement. They turned back to what they had to go against. Then, they all ran up to the huge crowd of armored fish. Cheese hit a backflip, karate kicking two armored fish with spears backwards. Sandy grabbed Spongebob, spinning in a circle as he punched all the groups of fish out of the way. Patrick drunk two huge bottles of purple fuchsia pop, and held his stomach as he belched, causing the whole army of fish to fall back. Squidward took a golf club, elegantly smacking the fish out of the way. Everyone continued to fight until their path was cleared. "We...did it." Spongebob replied, saying half-way out of breath. But their victory had ended, when another army of fish appeared right behind this, prepared to fight. The gang sighed. Cheese pulled them all together in a group huddle. "Okay how about this, Patrick, you and Squidward take these guys head on and me Spongebob and Sandy will head towards Plankton's tower." Squidward grumbled. "But it's two against........well 100! We won't be able to beat them if it's just us." "WHO SAID THAT YOU GUYS GET TO HAVE ALL THE FUN?!" Everyone turned around and stared in awe. Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Fluttershy, Applejack and Discord all we're walking in a gang. They were all wearing golden armor, caring and holding cannons along with boom guns. Pinkie met up with the huddled gang and smiled. "This isn't just your fight Cheese," she said, while reaching out for his hand, holding it in hers. "It's our fight!" Cheese blushed, and grinned at his friend competitively. "Sorry to ruin the moment here but umm, we have an army of fish to defeat and I don't wanna stay in this world forever." Rainbow interrupted. The party duo turned to the army, as they charged. The duo grinned. "Alright, Dash, AJ, Rarity, Squidward and Patrick you guys take care of this crowd. Me, Cheese, Flutters, Spongebob, Sandy and Discord will head towards the tower." Everyone nodded at Pinkie, as they followed her orders. Everyone boosted up their armor, and got to work. Dash and Aj hit power kicks on every opponent that came their way. Rarity and Squidward used the boom guns, and shot forcefully at each fish. They complimented each other on their elegance and posture. Patrick on the other hand, filled up all the cannons with rotted spinach, shooting it directly in the fish's mouth. They all cowered away, whipping off the access spinach from their mouths. Meanwhile, Pinkie and her crew fought and made it to Plankton's tower. Discord used her party cannon, turning it into chaos cannon, and busted the door down. Plankton and Karen along with more fish armies stared at their unwanted guests angrily. "Surprisingly, you've made it this far. But you won't be going any further! Minions, ATTACK!" and with that, the armies all charged for the gang. Fluttershy hide behind Discord, who slid on black shades, and shot his cannon at the group of fish heading towards his friend. Sandy stared at him in confusion. "This is no time for shades ya' know!" "Yeah but I at least gotta be the cool one here while the princesses are still in the other world." Discord replied, shooting more groups of fish. He turned back to Sandy, with his eyes grown wide. "LOOK OUT!" Sandy turned quickly, seeing a huge pale of chum being dumped down on her. Spongebob karate chopped the fish he was fighting, and ran towards her quickly. "SANDY!" he yelled, jumping in the chum. He dug through it, hoping to find a trace of her. He was relieved when he had found her hand reaching out for air. He quickly swam towards her hand before she sunk in, pulling her up to his chest. When he rose her up, her whole helmet inside was covered with chum. Spongebob thought quickly to remove it off of her head, dumping access chum. Sandy opened her eyes wide, with her cheeks puffed. Spongebob giggled. "You should be more careful next tim-" before he could finish, the squirrel's lips were already on his. His eyes widened, then he gently closed them, embracing Sandy back. They pulled away from each other, looking into each other's eyes, then Sandy reached out for her helmet. Spongebob chuckled and handed it to her. When she put it back on, she took a deep breath. "I was only doing that to get some air to kiss you. Didn't think you'd kiss me back." Spongebob sunk down and blushed. "Guess I got a little carried away, heh." Pinkie and Cheese were side by side, fighting off other fish as they came their way. Nothing could stop these two, they were powerful, they were strong, they were one. Suddenly, Cheese spotted a shadow behind Plankton's throne. "Sombra?" he asked himself. He grew suspicious, as he left Pinkie's side, following the shadow. When he reached behind the throne he grew confused. Until it happened. A speck of the shadow got into his veins, causing him to scream in pain. Pinkie turned quickly, seeing Cheese limp from behind the throne, holding his arm. "CHEESE!" Pinkie exclaimed, running to his side. She finally met up with him, reach out from a comforting hug. "Are you oka-" but she was coldly swatted away. Cheese lifted his head up, with red glowing in his once green pupils. Pinkie stared at him in horror. For this was not the same Cheese Sandwich she knew and loved, no. This was a monster. Twilight paced across the floor of the Crystal Empire. She began sweating instantly. "Oh I hope their okay! Was it a mistake sending them? And all those weapons! I mean what else could possible go wrong?!" Suddenly, the castle began shaking, and Sombra appeared in the throne room with an evil grin towards Twilight. "Sorry I asked." she said to herself, blushing embarrassingly. "It's time to take out the young ensemble in the group! You're mine Twilight Sparkle!" Before Twilight could aim her shot, she was blocked by the guidance of Luna who shot her magic at him. Sombra scooted away, running towards Twilight for another try. This time, Shining Armor blocked him with a shield, while Cadence shot. She gave him a dirty glare. "So, you made me left my husband for a jerk, eh? Well if you thought Luna could break your heart, just imagine what I'd do to you!" with that, she shot a bomb spell on Sombra, causing him to scoot back once again. He became frustrated, seeing all the royals backing up for Twilight like she was a weakling. Wait. That gave Sombra an idea. He slowly grinned, laughing evilly as everypony became confused. "Soo...the young royal is just gonna sit there and let the big ponies fight her fight. What a shame, and here I am thinking we'd be able to fight for real this time. You know, since the little dragon and Princess Cadence here saved the empire and not you." Twilight's face changed, she became furious. "I'll kill you, I'll kill you!" she began to protest. "Now Twilight Sparkle, don't let Sombra get the best-" but before Luna could finish, Twilight flew in the air, aiming at Sombra. Her eyes became white, with magenta aura flowing behind them. "I'LL KILL YOU IF IT'S THE LAST THING I DO!" Sombra grinned, while showing his teeth. "FINALLY, NOW THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT!" dodged one of Twilight's spells, but she didn't give up. She kept shooting at him. He laughing menacingly. "You've REALLY GOTTA WORK ON YOUR AIM MISS SPARKLE!" But Twilight kept shooting. The royals were surprised. Hearing the words, 'I'll kill you' from Twilight was all but expecting. Shining however cheered for his sister. "Yeah Twily! Kick his shadow butt!" Cadence nudged him on the elbow. "Ow!" he exclaimed. Twilight took a deep breath, and began to pressure her final attack on Sombra. But as she shot her beam, he shot his. The two beams met, pushing each other down. Twilight put a little force on hers, which made Sombra's beam weaker, causing him to feel weak in his legs. Luna's eyes became shot dead with fear. "TWILIGHT! STOP THIS ISN'T THE WAY!" Twilight opened her eyes, looking down at Luna with sympathy and tenderness. Before she could fly down, Sombra's beam reached up to her, hitting her dead in the face. Twilight fell to the ground selflessly, not moving a single muscle. The royals all stared at Twilight, rushing down to her health. Cadence and Celestia cried, and Shining Armor growled in anger. Luna arose, staring at Sombra deadly. "This is the end of the line Sombra, there's no more turning back. No more tears, no more regrets. I won't even feel bad for what I'm about to do." Luna's form changed. Her navy blue coat was now jet black. The pupils in her eyes became skinnier. She grew taller, her teeth became sharp as shark's. Then a light dove blue colored helmet levitated on her head. Celestia stared at her former sister in awe. "Luna?" Cadence questioned. "She's brought her back, for Twilight's sake." Celestia corrected. "Welcome back Nightmare Moon." Luna turned to her sister and smiled slyly. "I'll handle this. I'll end this." She turned back to Sombra, staring at him coldly which scared him inside. He never seen this side of Luna before, she seemed so emotionless and cold. He grew his pride back and grinned at her evilly again. "So, you're gonna defeat me by staring at me Luna? What about what we had, huh? Are you just gonna throw it all away? When you left me and abandoned me?" Silence. Luna cokced her head to the side. "Save your foolishness for another time in another body." With that, Luna flew up in the air, as her horn glowed. The beam shot down, as her opponent shrieked in fear. Sombra thought quickly to teleport to the other side of the room before she shot him. Unfortunately, she only shot his eye, leaving a scar. "I still have a companion of mine Luna! You'll never defeat me!" he gloated, running into the mirror. Luna sighed, changing back into her normal form. Cadence looked at her reassuringly. Luna returned her smile. "What's gonna happen now?" Cadence asked. "The others will have to defeat him." Luna replied. Then she stared at Twilight. "She's just going to have to believe in Pinkie Pie." Author's Note PHEW! ANOTHER UPDATE AS PROMISED! The fight scenes were completely hard to compress, but I got the hang of it now. FYI, Luna can tell that Sombra has taken over Cheese Sandwich's body. //-------------------------------------------------------// The Element Laughter and Love //-------------------------------------------------------// The Element Laughter and Love Pinkie Pie stared at Cheese in horror, as his once green pupils were now red. A shadow appeared from behind him. "Well, my dear element, you've defeated the armies. Let's see you defeat your little friend here." "Sombra! What have you done to him!?" Pinkie exclaimed. "You'll soon find out!" he replied, disappearing into thin air. Pinkie realized what he had done. He took over control of Cheese's body. Sombra sat on the throne, watching the event go down. Pinkie was frozen. She didn't know what else to do. This was her friend, her pal, her buddy. Only, it wasn't him. It was Sombra. Cheese was the one to act first, running towards Pinkie for a punch. Luckily, Pinkie dodged his forceful act. Cheese jumped up in the air, hoping to kick Pinkie dead in the face, and became successful. Pinkie was kicked back into the pile of chum that Spongebob and Sandy sat in. Pinkie whipped it off of her face, becoming competitive. "ALright, FAKE Cheese. You wanna fight, let's dance!" Pinkie ran towards him, letting out a punch which held him back. Cheese regained himself, running towards Pinkie. He went for a karate kick, but Pinkie blocked it with her leg. She punched him in the face with her arm band, which left a mark. Cheese now became furious. He ran to her quickly, aim a uppercut towards her. She luckily dodged his attack. As easy as it was before, it was like Sombra was using his own strength to obliterate her. Pinkie lost her convince and became scared. Even when she thought she couldn't, she successfully dodged all of Cheese's attacks. Until he grew tired, and kicked her in the stomach. Pinkie was now against the wall, clutching her stomach and groaning. Cheese walked up to her, aiming his boom gun towards her. Pinkie's eyes were shot dead with fear. Suddenly, a collage of confetti and amo hit Cheese, pushing him off to the side. Pinkie looked to see Fluttershy and Discord grinning at her. "Don't worry Pinkie, we've got your back!" Fluttershy assure her. Sandy and Spongebob held hands, both reaching for Pinkie's. Pinkie smiled, as they both lifted her up. They all stared at Cheese, who cracked his neck, staring at them deadly. Pinkie cracked her knuckles, as she ran towards him again. She hit a backflip, successfully kicking him in the jaw. He held his jaw, while grabbing Pinkie feet. But before he could throw her across the room, Pinkie opened her legs, closed them, jotted them down to Cheese's stomach level, and kicked him in the stomach. Pinkie lifted herself up, aiming her wristband at him. Cheese's eyes grew wide as Sombra whispered in his ear. "See that wristband she has there? That's powerful." He whispered. "Power?" Cheese repeated. Sombra nodded. "Get that, and our mission will be complete." Cheese got up, as Pinkie shot a beam towards him. When the dust blew away, Cheese disappeared. Pinkie became scared, as she turned and looked all around for Cheese. He appeared behind her, smiling assuringly. "Pinkie, I'm so sorry for defeating you. I'm no longer under Sombra's spell. So give me that bracelet, and let's defeat him together." Pinkie smiled at him, as he embraced her. She lightly took off the bracelet, handing it to Cheese. Discord's eyes widened. "NO PINKIE! HE'S LYING! THAT'S NOT CHEESE!" but it was too late. Cheese snatched the bracelet before she could take it back, and successfully punched her in the face. The punch was so powerful, that it threw Pinkie against the wall. Fluttershy ran to comfort her, but was blocked by Cheese, who kicked her back. Fluttershy crashed on the floor, crying with all her might. Discord's expression changed, as he shot his magic towards Cheese. "You can pick on anyone, but no one picks on MY Fluttershy!" Cheese was struck by Discord's magic, which knocked him to the ground. Discord ran to aid Fluttershy, who was still crying. Discord lightly picked her up, embracing her gently. "Oh Discord, he....he-" "It's okay, I've got you now. And he may be strong, but nothing can defeat friendship and love." Fluttershy blinked, looking at Discord curiously. "You mean?" "Yep. I love you." Fluttershy's expression changed. She grew a huge grin on her face. "What did you say?" "I said I love you." "Beg your pardon?" "I said I l-" before the former draconequus could finished, Fluttershy pressed her lips against his forcefully, but gentle. The pulled away, embracing each other back. Pinkie smiled, then something popped in her head. She arose from her former spot, walking towards Cheese, who was holding his arm for strength. THe more he tried to fight in, the worse it became. Sombra was forcing power on him in frustration. Pinkie kneeled down to Cheese's side, who looked at her caringly, but coldly. "No Pinkie! BACK OFF! I'm a monster!" Cheese yelled, controlling his anger. Pinkie held his cheek, as she began to stroke it. Cheese looked at her, as his pupils were still red and his eyes were filled with tears. Pinkie smiled reassuringly, holding the bracelet he hand in his hand. "No, I'm never letting go. Because I love you Cheese Sandwich. And I'm never leaving your side." Sombra screamed. As he arose from his throne, aiming at the two. Cheese looked at Pinkie reassuringly, and smiled. He embraced her, looking deep in her eyes that he could see her crying inside. Pinkie didn't waste time to press her lips against his. He closed his eyes, as the two floated in the air. Sombra's eyes were shot dead with fear. "No." he said to himself. "NOOOO!" Pinkie and Cheese formed a heart with their bodies, opening their white eyes as a blue and pinkie beam arose and shot down on Sombra. Everyone could see it. Sombra's whole body had demolished into midair, as the beam changed the scenery around the Bikini Bottom. THe armies of fish no longer had on helmets or armor. Plankton's tall robot suit was now gone. He hit the floor, throwing a tiny tantrum. "WE WERE SO CLOSE!" he cried. Karen bended down and patted his back. "I know honey, I know." Equestria's world was also changed. THe dark orange sky was now indigo, shimmering with the stars of Luna's night. Twilight slowly opened her eyes, rubbing her head gently. "Ugh, what happened?" the royals all turned to her, giving her a group hug. The ponies pulled away, but only Luna was left on Twilight's shoulders. Then, as well, pulled away. "We defeated Sombra Twilight. And thank you for fighting in my honor." Twilight smiled. "Princesses stick up for princesses don't they? Besides, you saved me from almost killing myself." The royals all laughed. Back at the Bikini Bottom, the orange sky had disappeared, and the streets were filled with confused fish. Rarity blinked questionably. "What...just happened...?" Rarity asked. Applejack smiled. "Let's just say, a certain friend of ours save the day." Back at Plankton's former tower, Pinkie and Cheese were put on the ground, as they both opened their eyes. Cheese laid back on the ground, staring at the ceiling. "Wow." he said to himself. "I know, that was amazing." Pinkie replied. Something then caught her attention. "Wait! Did I kiss the real Cheese, or the fake Cheese?! So that would mean I kissed Sombra?! I'm so confused!" Cheese arose, gripping her shoulder. "Don't worry Pinkie, I'm all Cheese Sandwich. No Sombra here!" But Pinkie wasn't falling for it. Until, "Hey, what happened to the charm on your bracelet?" Pinkie squealed with delight. For she knew that this was her Cheese. She didn't waist anytime, but to press her lips against his. Cheese's eyes grew wide, but he shrugged, and embraced Pinkie, kissing her back. Pinkie quickly pulled away, punching Cheese in the arm. "OW! What the-" "That's for kicking me in the stomach!" "Wait, I did WHAT?!" Pinkie crossed her arms and turned away from Cheese. He became sad, for they just kissed, two times, and now she was mad at him, again. Pinkie turned to see his face, and hugged him. "I'm just playing silly. I know you'd never mean to pull a stunt like that." Cheese grew confused, the hugged her back. Rainbow, Rarity, Applejack, Patrick, and Squidward all met up with them in the tower. "Gee, what happened here?" Fluttershy giggled, walking up to her friend. "It's a long story, which is now over. Right Discord?" Discord ran up to her, and sat her down on his shoulders. "Yep!" Dash became confused. "I think it's about time we head back to the Crystal Empire y'all. I'm sure Twilight is worried about us." Pinkie and Cheese nodded, as they followed their friends. Then, Cheese turned back to his other friends, who all looked sad. Spongebob, Sandy, Squidward, and Patrick didn't want them to leave, even if they didn't belong here. Pinkie turned, and walked towards them. Cheese smiled, and followed her. She stared at them all, then took a deep breath. "We may have only been friends for only a short time but, I'm really gonna miss you guys SO much!" "Aww don't worry Pinkie! Y'all could alway come visit!" Sandy exclaimed, handing Pinkie the flying carpet she and Cheese rode. Pinkie hugged it tightly. "I'll treasure you guys forever!" she gave them all a group hug, with Cheese included. When she let go of their embraces, she grabbed Cheese's hand, looking up to him. She smiled. "Ready?" she asked him. "To go back home?" Cheese smiled softly. "Yeah, let's go." As they walked away, the gang behind them waved. "We're gonna miss you too!" Spongebob added. "Have fun on your future carpet rides! Send postcard and stuff! And be sure to visit!" Sandy exclaimed. "TREAT HER WELL CHEESE!" Squidward yelled. Before they knew it, the duo, along with their friends, had all went into the portal. Sandy sighed. "It's only been two seconds, and I miss them already." Spongebob grabbed her hand, giving her an assuring look. "I miss them too." he said. Author's Note So this chapter is so short and quick! I JUST COULDN'T WAIT! No there's only one more chapter to go, unfortunately. I'm sorry, but it has to end any day. Hope you guys like! //-------------------------------------------------------// Sombra and Plankton vs. the Crystal Empire //-------------------------------------------------------// Sombra and Plankton vs. the Crystal Empire "Alright everypony! Head to sleep, it's time to prepare for tomorrow." Luna rushed everypony to bed, and for the first time, it was her time to tie down to sleep as well. She quickly walked to her room, which was next to her sisters, opened her door and plopped on her bed. "It's not like anything terrible is going to occur here, so there's no need for me to stay up." Luna said to herself, falling into deep sleep. She had opened her eyes, seeing an olden scenery. She then saw her twelve year old self running away from another pony, a colt even. "Somby! Bet ya' can't catch me!" Luna challenged. Luna's older version, her present self, saw a younger version of Sombra run to tackle Luna. The laughter of their old times brought tears to Luna's eyes, for this is how she began haunting herself for abandoning her one true love. "Aww, still thinking about me Luna?" Luna's dream soon became dust. She heard a voice, a familiar voice, one that sounded like somepony she's known. "It's a shame you betrayed me just to save your little kingdom, otherwise, we've could've been tied the knot by now." Sombra. It was Sombra. Him talking to her was never in her other flashbacks, no, this was the real Sombra. Luna faced him, as he stood on the other side of the dark void. "Sombra! I thought I had seen the last of you!" "Well it doesn't seem like it, you like to dream about me Luna?" "No, I have great dreams, dreams about the times I defeated you!" "Me, you'r own fiance?" Sombra changed into his old unicorn appearance before the dark magic consumed him. Luna shielded her eyes, "Get away from me!" A Sombra duplicate appeared behind her, "You got rid of me Luna." As did another, "Like I didn't even matter to you." And another, "We were suppose to be in love! We were suppose to get married." And another, "But you changed it all Luna, and soon, you'll hurt everyone you love like you hurt me." Luna began crying, as more and more duplicates appeared. "No, no, no, no, NO! IT'S ALL FAKE!" she used a power spell to rid all of the duplicates. Then her dream scenery changed. Now it was her younger self with Sombra when he discovered dark magic. "Reading books again Somby?" younger Luna asked. Sombra didn't answer, which irritated Luna. "Somby? Stop reading dear! Pay attention to me! Hello? Somby!" Sombra wasn't budging, he continued reading, but annoyance grew as he kept reading the dark magic book. "Somby?" "I'm reading." "I wanna talk about our wedding." "I'm reading, but I'll help you out later." Present Luna could see it all, she saw it all go down. "Books, books, books that's all you care about nowadays! You asked me to marry you and we're not even acting as a couple because you're always reading those stupid books! If you love books so much, then why don't you MARRY THAT THEN!" Luna's past self ran out crying. Sombra hung his head down, "But I was preparing you a gift Lulu." Luna's present self heard this, which made her cry. That one day when Sombra paid too much attention to his book, was the day he wanted to give her a wedding gift. Luna kneeled down to the ground crying, not noticing that a golden chain was holding on to her foreleg. "I'm sorry, Sombra." Celestia slept blissfully, having a dream of her and Luna from the past. Luna would talk to Celestia about many colts about how mares fall in love, which scared Celestia to know that her sister would one day find a colt and leave her, but she was glad to see her sister getting along with others. "I'm so happy for you Luna! One day you'll find a colt, get married and-" "Leave you...." Past Celestia paused in her sentence, the present Celestia could see the fear in her eyes. "Yes, and leave me." "To be with me." Present Celestia could hear another voice, as her dream faded and all that was left was a dark void. "Who goes there?! Show yourself!" Sombra appeared from the darkness, facing Celestia with dark pride in his eyes. "Celestia, it's been awhile. How have you been?" "SOMBRA!" Celestia striked her magic at him, but missed by a landslide. "What are you doing here? My sister and I banished you years ago!" "Yes, then I came back and those foolish ponies tried to send me away with that crystal heart. I know the whole thing Celestia, I'm just here for revenge." Celestia struck her magic at him again, and missed as well. She tried chasing him in the void, but it didn't her any good. When she began to charge towards him, he vanished. "SHOW YOURSELF YOU COWARD! SO THAT I MAY END YOU!" Celestia demanded. It was silent, Celestia stood in the void alone. Until she could sense somepony behind her, she turned only to see a younger version of Luna. Celestia's eyes were filled with joy, as Luna let out her hoof for her sister to grab. As Celestia reached for it, Sombra appeared next to Luna, embracing her. "I wanna run away with you Sombra, because I love you and only you." "No." Sombra smirked evilly, "Your fear is letting your sister go in the wrong hooves. You were even more frightened when you learned that I was Luna's lover." "No!" Celestia yelled covering her ears. "Luna belongs to me now Celestia." "NOOOO!" Cadence, Twilight and her friends all did a nightly check up before the festival started. Shining Armor sent out his guards to check on the two royal sisters. Twilight believed that Luna would be sleep and Celestia would leave her room for a taste of crystal cake. The five girls were also thrilled, for today was the day Pinkie and Cheese were returning from their six day research trip. Rarity was caring Spike's cupcake tower with her magic, since there was no other way for her to see it. "Oh Spike! It's so lovely, what do you call it?" Spike rubbed the back of his neck nervously, he never even thought of a name for his display. "Uhh...it's called....Radiance!" Rarity's head cocked a little to the side. "Radiance?" Spike nodded. "Since Radiance is another word for Rarity and both mean shiny, glowing, beautiful." Rarity blushed and giggled. "Oh Spike you're too kind!" Spike caught a glimpse of Fluttershy and Discord setting up their 8-layer, double decker, carrot cake. `Discord could see SPike looking in his direction, so he stuck his tongue out at him. Spike grumbled. "Hey Rarity, why don't we take Radiance over by Discord and Fluttershy's display?" "Oh of course!" Rarity swished the tower of cupcakes, landing it next to Discord and Fluttershy's display. Fluttershy's face brightened when her friends Rarity and Spike walked towards her. "Oh! Hi Rarity, Spike! It's nice to see friendly faces in a competition." Spike stood next to Discord, facing him competitively. "You're gonna lose! Radiance is gonna kick your butt!" Discord laughed. "Radiance? Is that your display's name? It's very pathetic against my Carrot Queen!" Spike face was full of confusion. "Carrot Queen?" Discord nodded his head in pride. Twilight, Applejack, and Rainbow Dash walked in the empire near the main hall. They saw no trace of Celestia or Luna anywhere. Cadence and Shining Armor popped from behind. "I didn't see any tracks of crumbs from the kitchen." Cadence stated. "I didn't see anything in the crystal altar." Shining informed. "Do you think their still sleep?" Twilight suggested. Suddenly, a dark cloud appeared from the mirror Pinkie had went through. It began covering the main hall, and all the rooms in the empire. Twilight recognized this magic, it was a familiar streak from the magic she used to activate Sombra's nightmare door. An evil laugh was let out, as a silhouette of Sombra's head appeared. Shining Armor, Twilight, and Cadence put up a shield. "Sombra, you're not welcome here! Leave at once!" Shining Armor ordered. "Oh Shining, did you not learn from your last mistake. I take what I want, and if I can't have with joyce, I take it by FORCE!" Sombra broke off the unicorn shield, releasing more dark magic to create a dark void. Twilight and Cadence put it back up. "Back away from my husband!" Cadence replied, guarding Shining Armor with her life. "Twilight, you guard your friends and Shining, I'll handle Sombra." Cadence ordered, letting go of her shield. "CADENCE NO-" Twilight was too late, Cadence charged right towards Sombra. Sombra began a shadow bomb as she flew towards his head. Shining Armor pushed out of the shield before Sombra could cut a magic streak in her torso. Sombra ende dup fighting both Cadence and Sombra, but he was too weak. As Cadence struck, Shining was her shield. "An inseparable pair! You'll never defeat Cadence or Shining! They're indestructible together!" Twilight chanted. Sombra paused his attack, then grinned. "Oh really?" he created a shadow blade, creating a wall between Cadence and Shining. "NO!" Twilight shouted. "Me and my big mouth." Cadence tried breaking down the wall, using her magic forcefully to break down the wall. She tried five times, but ended up failing, growing weaker and weaker by the minute. She began to try a sixth time, until a replica of Cadence appeared before her. "You weak, spineless fool. Do you actually believe that you can beat Sombra? Without your husband you are nothing but a DISGRACE! Why, you even let a changeling take him! Face it, you're as weak as he is." Cadence covered her ears. "NO! IT'S NOT TRUE! Shining is strong even without me, Shining can handle himself." "Listen to yourself! When he was facing Sombra, who did he turn to to aid him? "Me! But that's only because I love him, besides, he was shielding me while attacking Sombra!" Cadence's duplicate shook her head in disappointment. "There's just no getting to you is there? Fine! Be stubborn. I didn't want it to come to this but...." Suddenly, the scenery around Cadence changed. It was more like heaven, only it was the inside of her castle. Shining Armor was standing in front of the throne inside the main hall. Cadence smiled when she saw him turn to her. "Shining! Shining honey, it's me! Please help me-" Shining made a disgusted look towards her. "Safety? Is that al I am to you Cadence?! Just your shield?" Cadence bit her lip. "No honey, of course not! I love with all my heart and you know that-" "No! I don't need you! I'll just go marry some other pony. Maybe even....Chrysalis..." The scenery changed, the main crystal hall was now dark, colored black, emerald, and blue everywhere. Cadence's pink coat became pale, as she saw her husband now in Chrysalis's hooves. Chrysalis smirked, then changed her appearance to look exactly like Cadence. "I knew you would come around. I tried to warn you Cadence." she said, laughing evilly as Cadence broke into tears. She ran to stop Chrysalis, but failed when she tripped. She turned around to notice a golden chain on her foreleg. Cadence tried breaking free, even using her magic, but failed every try. "No..." she said, while sobbing. "He's my husband....I love him....Shining...." The same had occurred during Shining's nightmare. Only, a bit different. Shining called out for Cadence multiple time, but still no answer. His scenery around him changed. For he was now in the main hall of Canterlot Castle. Cadence appeared, wearing her wedding dress facing Shining. "Oh Shining, we're getting married." she said to herself. Shining laughed. "Honey, we're already married!" he said to her, but she did seem to turn his way. "I remember the way you proposed to me, it was our fifth date." she sighed. "It's too bad you called it off but never postponed it, I guess you don't love me." Shining's face became pale. "CADENCE! WHAT DO YOU MEAN?! YOU'RE NOT MAKING SENSE!" he yelled, but she didn't seem to hear him. A buff, earth colt appeared next to Cadence. "It's too bad he gave you up. But don't worry, you're always on the market list for me." the colt assured Cadence, beginning to kiss her neck as she laughed playfully. "Bucky, honey, wait til during the honeymoon!" Shining got up and ran towards the two, but fell. He turned to see a gold chain, then turned to the couple. Tears welded from his eyes, but he wasn't giving up. "SOMBRA! Whatever sick trick this is, it isn't going to work!" Nothing. Not recall, evil laugh, nothing but kissing sounds. Shining looked at the couple, and didn't even turn away. How could he, when he witnessed losing the one he loved. Twilight and her friends stayed in the shield. No pony moved, nor wanted to. It was silent. But Twilight couldn't take it any longer. "Let..." "My..." "Brother and his wife...." As a strong magic aura appeared on her horn, Applejack and Rainbow stepped back. "GOOOOO!" A magenta power bomb was shot from Twilight's horn, undoing the shield, and releasing her, Rainbow, and Applejack from Sombra's dark void. As the three girls were released, they noticed both Cadence and Shining Armor on the floor, covered with a dark grayish shield. Twilight's face became pale, as she murmured the words.. "He's gotten to them..." Author's Note So let me tell you a funny story. Here I am, up at 4 am in the morning typing, but I get lonely so I watch me some good old Mlp. I'm sitting here typing Luna's nightmare, when I get to the part of episode 2 season 3, when Twilight went through the door, the nightmare door. So now, I have to think of a creative way for Sombra to beat all these stinkin' powerful ponies. I mean I'm the writer here, and I'd like to finish up this story because I have good ideas for the sequel. *Squeal later please*:unsuresweetie: https://static.fimfiction.net/images/emoticons/unsuresweetie.png So everypony's nightmare is kinda like this: Luna: I had to think of something creative, and this story does have romance don't it? So, based from what I learned from Do Princesses Dream of Magic Sheep? when Luna punished herself for being Nightmare Moon and junk, I decided to do the same, just it's as she betrayed the one she loved. Celestia: Now Tia's wasn't that easy either. My first move was just to have nightmares about sending Luna to the moon, but that's getting old, so I decided to give her what any other sister or mother would fear, fear of letting go the one they love in the wrong hands. It's tough, but she has to deal with it. :trollestia: https://static.fimfiction.net/images/emoticons/trollestia.png Cadence & Shining: Well, theirs isn't really that hard. For Cadence, I kinda based it off of A Canterlot Wedding and what would happen if Chrysalis successed. For Shiny, I was gonna make him battle Sombra, but that would be too mild. So, I based his nightmare off of the IDW comics. Now, that's the last of the nightmares, except Cheese. But I explained his in the chapter already. :trixieshiftright: https://static.fimfiction.net/images/emoticons/trixieshiftright.png
