(We were almost to the library. I just finished telling Fluttershy my story (But didn't tell her about my mom or the reason why I was training). She was sad to hear that my mother had to go far away for a long time.)

"...And that is up to today. Hey, you want to hear about today?"

Fluttershy: "Oh yes, can I?"

(I was about to answer until Twilight grabbed me and silent me.)

Twilight: "I am so sorry, how did we get here so fast? This is where I'm staying while in Ponyville and my poor baby dragon needs his sleep."

(I crossed my hooves, looking angry at Twilight. But she didn't care. Fluttershy grabs Spike and held him close.)

Spike: "No I don't-- whoa!"

(I released a Ghost Stinger. Twilight cried out in pain as she released me. I snorted, still glaring at her.)

"That's what you get for shutting me and holding me."

(Twilight looked at me, annoyed that I was able to fight back against her. But she dragged us inside and shut the door in front of Fluttershy.)

(We were in the black room, our eyes clearly visible. Mine was glowing though. I looked around and because of my supernatural senses, I had the feeling we weren't alone. I could myself surrounded by presences who were barely even trying to hide themselves. I smirk and looked at Twilight.)

"Gees, somepony's is upset."

Twilight: "Sorry, Danny, but I have to convince the Princess that Nightmare Moon is coming, and we're running out of time! I just need to be alone so I can study without a bunch of crazy ponies trying to make friends all the time. Now, where's the light?"

[light flicks on]

Ponies: "Surprise!"

(I watched with amusement that Twilight and Spike jumped from the surprise. When the surprise ended, Twilight groaned and the pink earth mare from before came to us.)

???: "Hi, I'm Pinkie Pie, and I threw this party just for you! Were you surprised? Were ya? Were ya? Huh huh huh?"

"I wasn't surprised. I have supernatural senses, so I could detect you when we entered this room."

Twilight: "Very surprised. Libraries are supposed to be quiet."

Pinkie: "Well, that's silly! What kind of welcome party would this be if it were quiet? I mean, duh, bo-ring! Y'see, I saw you when you first got here, remember? You were all "hello" and I was all" [deep gasp]", remember? Y'see I've never saw you before and if I've never saw you before that means you're new, 'cause I know everypony, and I mean everypony in Ponyville!"

(I was doing my best to resist her constant talking.) 'If The Box Ghost wasn't as annoying as she is, then what is?'

Pinkie: "And if you're new, that meant you haven't met anyone yet, and if you haven't met anyone yet, you must not have any friends, and if you don't have any friends then you must be lonely, and that made me so sad, then I had an idea, and that's why I went [deep gasp]! I must throw a great big ginormous super-duper spectacular welcome party and invite everyone in Ponyville! (All of our past encountered friends, The Mane 5, came out of the crowd that was currently partying) See? And now you have lots and lots of friends!"

(Twilight was drinking something red and I knew what it was. I was holding back my laughter. He face was red.)

Applejack: "Are you all right, sugarcube?"

(It sounded like a train whistle and she took off, heading upstairs. I was doing everything I could to hold my laughter back now.)

Pinkie: "Aww, she's so happy she's crying!"

(Spike looked at the bottle she used.)

Spike: "Hot sauce". Ooh..."

(I finally burst into laughter, letting it all out. Meanwhile, Pinkie poured some on 1 cupcake and eat it whole. The Mane 4 (Not including Pinkie) and Spike looked at her.)

Pinkie: [with mouth full] "What? It's good!"


(After a while, I manage to breathe in air again. I looked at Rainbow Dash, she was alone, she was a bit depressed. I was curious why she was. I came up to her.)

"Hey?"

Rainbow: (Looks at me and acted straight) "Oh, hey."

"Ok, drop the act, what's wrong?"

Rainbow: (Nervous laugh) "Uh, I don't know what you are talking about."

"Oh, let me guess. My performance earlier got you down?"

(Rainbow looked at me and opened her mouth to protest, but she couldn't come up with the words. I guesses it as a "yes". I sat on the chair in front of her.)

"Hey. No hard feelings. You know how many times I had to fly like that before my mentor stop insulting and disrespecting me? Over a million, that is for sure. No, I mean literal."

(She looked at me. She didn't much understand and I rolled my eyes.)

"Come with me."

(Before Rainbow could protest, I grabbed her and dragged her to the DJ. There, we met a unicorn with nice glasses & a Pegasus.)

"Hello, can me and my friend here can play and sing a song?"

Unicorn: "Sure bro. What's your name?"

"I'm Danny, this is Rainbow Dash. Who are you 2?"

Pegasus: "I'm Woodentoaster. This is Vinyl Scratch."

"Well, I got the disc here."

(I gave them a disc and they took it.)

Vinyl: "Ok, we'll announce you and play it."

(I nod and I drag Rainbow to the dance floor.)

Rainbow: "What are you doing? I don't sing or dance."

"I'm cheering you up."

(That was when the music stopped.)

Woodentoaster: "Hey everypony. We have a couple who wish to play a song and sing it as well."

(That was when the spotlights shined on us. The song instantly played. I played the boy parts and Rainbow sang the girl parts)

Youtube Video

(At the end of the song, me and Rainbow took off into the air and we clapped our hooves together. We then hugged and when the song ended, we stayed hugging and after a few more minutes, we finally realized that we were still in the air, hugging. We separated and landed. We were blushing very red. Applejack and Rarity came over to us.)

Applejack: "That was wonderful, y'all."

Rarity: "I agree. I never seen you sing before Rainbow Dash."

(We scratched the back of our heads.)

"Oh, it was nothing. I took lessons on singing, dancing, and playing the guitar from Ember Mclain."

(We smile and began to party. But as we were together, both me and Rainbow felt something inside our guts, telling us to stay close to each other.)

'What's wrong with me? It's like I..... don't want to leave Dashie?'

Rainbow: 'Why do I feel this way towards..... Danny?'


(After several hours of waiting and partying, we finally went to the Ponyville Town Square. Before I went inside, I told Rainbow that I'll meet up with her later because I needed to speak with the Mayor. She nodded and I left and found the Mayor. I went to her and presented a paper to her.)

"Miss Mare, I am here under Princess Celestia's orders. I am suppose to give you this paper."

(She took the paper and began to read it.)

Dear Mayor Mare of Ponyville,

This is my long lost nephew, Danny Eclipse. He is my sister's future heir to the throne and he has full authority over the royal guards and everything there. He was assigned to watch over the Summer Sun Celebration. I want you to tell the guards about royalty being undercover here and tell them to look out for this cutie mark. If any order my nephew gives, you have to follow you. Thank you for your full cooperation. Signed,

Princess Celestia.

(On the paper, there was a picture on it. My cutie mark.)

(After reading it, Mayor Mare nods and takes the letter.)

Mayor Mare: "Ok Prince Danny. I'll inform the guards. Let's hope there won't be any problems."

(Mayor Mare left to inform the guards.)

'Time is almost up.' (I come back to Rainbow, Applejack, and Fluttershy.) 'Let's see if my 1000 year training paid off. I hope you are ready...... Mother.'

(That was when we heard the fanfare play.)

Mayor Mare: "Fillies and gentlecolts, as mayor of Ponyville, it is my great pleasure to announce the beginning of the Summer Sun Celebration!" (The ponies cheered.) "In just a few moments, our town will witness the magic of the sunrise, and celebrate this, the longest day of the year! And now, it is my great honor to introduce to you the ruler of our land," (I looked at the moon and see the stars fused into the moon and the Mare of the Moon picture up there vanish) "the very pony who gives us the sun and the moon each and every day, the good, the wise, the bringer of harmony to all of Equestria..."

'Here it comes.' (I hide a blue smoke coming out of my mouth. I knew Nightmare Moon was here now.)

Mayor Mare: "...Princess Celestia!"

(The birds played but stopped as the curtains opened and the was nothing behind it. A bunch of ponies gasped.)

Twilight: "This can't be good."

Mayor Mare: "Remain calm, everypony, there must be a reasonable explanation!"

Pinkie Pie: "Ooh, ooh, I love guessing games! Is she hiding?"

Rarity: "She's gone!"

(Ponies gasped again)

Pinkie Pie: "Ooh, she's good." (She thought it was still guess games but then she saw something and yelped.)

(We followed her gaze and ponies gasped. I gave a aggressive glare. A blue smoke separated, revealing a Black and blue alicorn.)

Nightmare Moon: "Oh, my beloved subjects. It's been so long since I've seen your precious, little sun-loving faces."

Rainbow: "What did you do with our Princess?!"

(Rainbow was about to attack but Applejack grabbed her tail, holding her.)

Applejack: [muffled] "Whoa there, Nelly..."

Nightmare Moon: [chuckle] "Why, am I not royal enough for you? Don't you know who I am?"

Pinkie: "Ooh, ooh, more guessing games! Um, Hokey Smokes! How about... Queen Meanie! No! Black Snooty, Black Snooty--" (She was about to continue until I stuffed a apple in her mouth, shutting her up.)

Nightmare Moon: "Does my crown no longer count now that I have been imprisoned for a thousand years? Did you not recall the legend? Did you not see the signs?"

Twilight: "I did." (Nightmare Moon turned her gaze to her) "And I know who you are. You're the Mare in the Moon – Nightmare Moon!"

(Ponies gasp at the name. My eyes began to glow as I gazed at her.)

Nightmare Moon: "Well well well, somepony who remembers me. Then you also know why I'm here."

Twilight: "You're here to... to..." [gulp]

Nightmare Moon: [chuckle] "Remember this day, little ponies, for it was your last. From this moment forth, the night will last forever!" [laughter, thunder]

(However, I took to the sky and began to hover above the other ponies, glaring at her.)

"Really Nightmare Moon? Did you really think you can come crashing here and do whatever you want? I think not."

(Nightmare Moon looks at me and sees the other guards coming up to me. But they gasp at my presence before saluting.)

Royal Guard #1: "Prince Danny!"

(The Ponies gasp at my name, including Twilight and Rainbow.)

Nightmare Moon: "Prince Danny?"

"Indeed. You should remember me. After all, I was no more than a filly when I first saw you."

(Nightmare Moon began to think. Where have she seen this pony before? That was when it hit her and she began to laugh.)

Nightmare Moon: "I never thought I would encounter you here.... son!"

(More ponies gasp at what they heard. Even Spike, who never knew. I smirk as she figured it out.)

"It's been too long mother. But then again. You being possessed by a Spirit of evil can change the hearts of others. I'm here to free my mother from your spiritual clutches, fiend!"

(Nightmare Moon chuckled at this.)

Nightmare Moon: "Then you are going to have to take her from me."

"Fine by me. Guards, seize her! Only she knows where the princess went!"

(The guards saluted and charged at Nightmare.)

Nightmare Moon: "Stand back, you foals!" [laughs]

(Her eyes glowed as she knocked them away. She transformed into her smoke form and Rainbow managed to escape. She chased after Nightmare and both me and Twilight took off, Spike on her back.)
