Making Things Right

On the train to Ponyville, Crimson planned out what exactly he was going to say. He thought it would be best not to say when he was from, and just keep it simple. Mostly tell her the truth. She needs to know that she is being cared for, and is loved. Princess Luna deserved that much. And he wasn't about to let his princess down. He always thought of going to the castile and meeting the princesses, "I guess this is my big break," he thought. With a sigh of ease, he looked out the window at the sky. The sun was glowing brightly, as usual, the clouds were scattered lazily turning a slight grey. Crimson Tail was excited because he would set things right, for every pony. He over heard the gossip of the six mares who saved the ponies and he new that he wouldn't go into the history books for the cunning and bravery he would do. In a way, he was saddened by this, but it didn't waver on his decision of doing what he came to Ponyville to do.

The reason he was going to Ponyville and not Canterlot is because it is dangerous to go back that far in time, so if you cast the spell directly where you want to be, there is a higher risk of serious injury. Being further is less risk. Crimson Tail was ready though and when the crowd of ponies exited the train, he fallowed confidently. He wanted to look unsuspicious, so he blended in to the crowd as they trotted into the town. He was greeted, surprisingly, by several ponies there. He thought that they were just being nice and that he shouldn't get cold feet or suspicious about anything. He met with a pony named Thunder Crash who was looking for a renter for a house he had bought. Naturally, Crimson Tail had explained that he needed a place to stay for a month or so. They shook hooves on it, and arranged Crimson to move in the next night. Admittedly, it was a small house. The entrance way was the main living room. There was a doorway- with no door- at the end of the room leading to the kitchen with an opening where ponies could visit with guests as they cooked. There was a small hallway with a washroom at the very end of the hall and a closet at the beginning of it and a bed room in-between the two doors previously mentioned.

The walls were mint green and the couch in the main room was red brick color the floors were wood and the front mat was a burgundy color with a pale yellow framing it. There was one mildly too noticeable window in the main room, a small one to fit the door, and one in the bedroom. Crimson just rolled his eyes at how visually unpleasing the house looked, but had to deal with it for a month. The next day was spent quizzing himself on Shakesponian language. It consisted of him pacing back and forth with his head down with a pile of q-cards levitated in front of him. At sun set, he had them all memorized. Crimson Tail conjured the spell, but not before he left the house, and went slightly out of Ponyville so not to be seen by the ponies living there.

He was suddenly in a place where Ponyville should have been, but wasn't. "The past," Crimson thought. It was true, for instead of houses, there were bails of hay. Instead of stone roads, where was trampled dirt. Everything was so different, Crimson almost didn't realize where he was. Where the Everfree Forest should be, there stood a large stone wall circling a kingdom. He walked curiously and timidly towards it, not knowing what he would expect, but the sun was setting, and he needed to see Luna. He walked up to a tall, menacing tree log gate that was as tall as the massive stone wall. He knocks three times.

"Who art thou?!" Demanded a guard upon the gate.

"I am an ally of the princesses!" Crimson called back.

"An ally of the princesses?! Is't thou upon a solution that I was born yesterday?!" He laughed.

"No! I do not speak falsely!" Crimson replied.

"Ay, I think thou do! Thine words are false, good pony, I must ask thee to leave," The guard demanded once more.

"Please, good pony, wouldst thou send an ally away from an audience with the princesses?" Crimson asked.

"Thine words are poison! Hence from this place!" The guard demanded.

It was very dangerous for Crimson to teleport to the entrance to the castile, but he had no choice. Before the guard could stop him, Crimson was at the doors. The doors looked about the same as the doors in Canterlot, but inside was stone. With tapestry and candles of course, but is was dark. Very Dark. He opened the doors with his magic and walked into the great hall where Princess Luna was sitting on her throne.

"Who comes forth?"

"Some pony with a question to ask thine majesty," explained Crimson as his head was lowered and walking towards the princess.

"Why has't thee come at such an hour? Why not ask my sister?" Princess Luna asked.

Crimson Tail, after reaching the edge of the stairway to the thrones explained, "Because I want thine answer."

He looked up and asked the princess, "Doth thou want to see the moon rise with me?"

Shock and delight showed on her face. Crimson knew that she was never asked that in her life, and it must have filled her with such joy. She nods.

"Come with us," She ordered. Crimson bowed as she left her throne and turned left. He fallowed her at a respectful distance as she lead him to a plaza. There was a statue of both Luna and Celestia facing each other. They were on there back hooves while raising their fore-hooves in a triumphant pose. and the stone under Crimson's hooves depicted a sun in a crescent moon. It was surrounded by leafy trees and stone arches. It was beautiful. There, Luna flew up to the sky and lit her horn. All at once any small indication that the sun was setting diminished and the light blue/purple sky ascended. Until the stars appeared twinkling and shining like spot lights, and the full moon rose higher in the sky until settling among the stars. Now the sky is a simple dark blue canvas with a masterpiece upon it. "Isn't it lovely?" Luna asked, please at what she had done.

"Ay, but come with me, Princess. I know a place where we can appreciate the sky better," Crimson explained, referencing the field where he landed merely five minutes before.

"Where?" asked the princess.

"Outside the city, but still safe near the city's walls," Crimson explained as he bowed.

Luna reluctantly fallowed as he leads her away from the city.  The town was completely silent and no one was awake, there no sign of any movement but the two ponies walking by. It saddened Crimson, but it gave him more determination to do what he was doing. He looked up to the princess, she was smiling and looking forward. She knew what he was doing for her, and it filled her with glee. For centuries she raised the moon wanting at least some recognition of the night's beauty and not any, but now this stallion whom she has never met asked her to watch the night sky with her. It was more than she could ever ask for.

Finally, they got to the wall, and the princess hailed to the guard to open the gates. He was shocked to see that Crimson tail was telling the truth about knowing the princesses, also shocked to see one of them out of the castle. He nodded hastily and opened the gate. The sky was bigger, and more illustrious out of the city, and they could see the moon more clearly than in the castle grounds. Luna sighed in wonderment.

"It is beautiful, my friend," She said to Crimson.

"Let us sit upon a stack of hay to rest our legs," Crimson suggested.

They walk towards the first stack they find and rest. Soon, a wave of exhaustion had overcome Crimson. After teleporting many over 1000 years in the past, and then walking an entire city to get to this bail of hay, it was mentally exhausting. He looked up at Luna, and she was happy. He had done it. He had shown Princess Luna that some pony cares about her. But he couldn't fall asleep. He had to show her until sun rise, then he could leave.
