Harmony in the Blade

Everypony was in their own repectful bedrooms... Well... almost all of us... Me and Blueblood were in my roon talking and laughung and just being really nice friends. Ponies often walked by and thought that they were dreaming... No... no they weren't. Honestly i didn't really care. Soon it was time for him to sleep... me too... We each said our goodbyes and he went to his bedroom. I was only alone for a little while though... just until sunset and the moon being risen. But i loved the peace. I never really was the social type... I'm more of a... anti-social type. But i'm social too... By now you must be just as confused as most ponies tend to be when i explain this to them... Don't worry i don't get me myself too... hehe... i'm complex. Where was i again? Oh yes... I was only alone for sunset. Right after that Cadence came in...

"Hello Cadence... How was your day?" I asked with a smile giving her a hug.

"Exausting... Just came by one last time because i've got to go to the Crystal Empire tomorrow morning... How about you my good friend?" She replied happily returning the hug i gave her.

"Spent the day with Blueblood." I replied with a smile.

"Really? Let me guess... Snobbish. Rude -" She tried but i interruped her.

"No. None of that. He was sweet and careing. He promised to change and i promised to help him. He just... needed a push to help him out." I told her. She smiled and giggled.

"I know why he spent so much time with you now... I think he's got a crush on you..." Cadence teased.

"Maybe... or maybe it's the other way round... One thing... what does the crystal empire look like?" i asked her.

"It's crystall- wait... you've never been to the crystal empire? Seriously?" She exclaimed.

"Never been... But the city of love does sound nice." I said with a sigh.

"Why? Thinking of going there with Blueblood?" She asked me... grinning.

"Oh no. We are just friends and i think we are going to keep it that way... But..." I trailed off... It's what got Cadence intrested.

"But???..." She continued.

"Don't tell him but i might... MIGHT have a crush on him." I addmitted.

"Yes, yes, YES!!!! I'm going to finally have a new cousin." She exclaimed.

"whoa... Hold on there Cadence. We met like... a week ago... I don't think he feels the same about me." I told her. I forgot to tell you. It had been a week at the castle. I mostly stayed with Blueblood.... But i helped around the castle when he wasn't avalible... From the last week i've been able to develope a crush for him... DON'T TELL A SOLE!!! But yes... i have a crush on him... The good thing though is that NONE of them have found out my cutiemark. I don't want to be known everywhere just because of my wings and cutiemark... I seriously didn't wan't ponies to know.

"a week is long enough. Come on. You two should give it a try." Cadence told me.

"If he asked me then... I'd give it a try." i told her. She smiled.

" I won't pressure... i've got to go now... Night Harmony." She told me.

"Night Cadence. Tell Shining armour i said Goodnight." I replied. She smiled and nodded. I siged and stared at the stars and i soon... fell asleep...

The next morning...

I woke up in my room.  I got up and did my morning things... Brush my teeth... e.c.t. Soon i was on my way to the dinner hall... as normal. I got there and found the family there... I still see them as family even though none of us are related. but we are all family none the less. I took my seat by Blueblood like i normally did... Not surprising to them... or me.

"Morning Harmony... Sleep well?" Yawned Blueblood.

"Morning to you too. Yes i slept well... though i can't help but feel like something..." I replied trailing off.

"Something???" Pressured Celestia.

"I don't know Princess... Something's wrong. I know it is... but what?" I told them. Soon we all shrugged it off just thinkning it wasn't anything... or was it? as we ate i kept taking small glances as Blueblood and he did the same with me. It was silence... until Luna broke it.

"Sorry but... as i missing something here?" She asked me.

"Missing what Princess?" I asked knowing what she was talking about... unfortunatley.

"Don't tell me..." Celestia said with a sneaky grin.

"Tell what aunty?" asked Blueblood not knowing what was going on. I thought it was cute that he didn't know but i didn't show it. I suddenly felt something truley wasn't right.

"Excuse me. I have to go." I excused myself.

"Where are you going?" Blueblood asked. I thought for a second. Should i show him? Should i trust him? Is it the right option? I kept thinking until...

"You can come too..." I told him. He smiled and excused himself too. We both went to my room-DON'T THINK 'BOUT IT.  We ran through the corridors and endded up in my room panting due to all the running.

"I .so. beat. you. Harmony..." He said between pants.

"We'll see later... come on." I told him. We both went inside and i locket the door. He got confused.

"How come you're locking the door?" He asked.

"Don't worry... but promise me you won't tell a SOLE." I asked him.

"I promise." He nodded. I sighed knowing i could really trust him... i knew i could. I went to my sattlebags and collected my harmony stones and lay them one by one on my bed. I directed him to my side which he came. I cast a spell starting up the gems. He looked carefully at what i was doing. as the spell progressed an image formed. It kept on going until the spell was compleated. I relaxed a little when it was done. We both looked at the image that looked before us.

"I never get tired of doing this..." I muttered under my breath sarcastically.

"What on earth..." He said looking at it. It showed a picture of the crystal empire. It was beautiful... Shiney and... very ... well... crystally. It took some time to break the silence but in the end i did.

"Okay... let's get to work... first thing's first... checking." I edventually said with a smile. With my hooves i flicked back and forth to see the compleat view of the empire... i could see these all day... but i had work to do... which was protecting the empire from a dark force. Blueblood just kept watching to see what i was doing.

"How on earth do you do this? How come you never told us this?... Why were you hiding?..." He asked me with sorrow. I sighed and pulled up my blancket just enough to hide my wings and show to let him see my cutiemark.

"That's a nice cutiemark... colors too." He complemented as i blushed a little. I giggled but then placed on my blancket again.

"I guess... it lets me see this type of things... You should go to let me do this... or ponies with think other things." I told him giggling. He blushed and with a giggle he went out. I sighed... he wa so cute... sweet... careing... and soo... STOP RIGHT THERE, " You've got work to do Harmony... Stop thinking at how cute Blueblood is.... But i love his eyes... those eyes... i could stare at them all my li- Okay to work." I shook these cute thoughts out of my head and got state back to work. I kept on Checking the empire until spotted a shadow that wasn't meant to be there. I wondered if it was a good idea to go there right now... It would be good... considering i was the only one who knew aboutt the threat... it would be good if i went with blueblood... he'd look so cute when the sun hits him... SERIOUSLY. i should stop thinking about him... why on earth is crushing so hard? I sighed and checked to see if there was anything else happening... my life is so complex...

With the otheres in the privet room...

No ones POV...

"I swear that i've never seen anypony do things like that." Blueblood said. They had been talking about Harmony since he had walked out of her room.

"How on earth could she do that? She has those gems and she does that... Strange..." Luna said. She never told anypony about those gems but now others knew so she could talk about it with them.

"We need to see her cutiemark... but we don't know which one it is..." Celestia said.

"I know it... she told me but i never knew what it meant..." He said. The two mares giggled a little.

"uh huh... I have a book with the cutiemark pictures and meanings. Let's check in there." Celestia suggested. Blueblood and Luna nodded as Celestia took out a book called 'Normal cutiemarks.'. They all searched. The further you went into the book the more powerful the cutiemark. They kept on fliking into the book. They hadn't found the cutiemark Blueblood had seen.

"Not found it... you don't think...?" Luna suggested.

"Let us try the more complex cutiemarks." Celestia suggested. They kept on flicking through the pages...

"Nope. Nope. Nop- hey... that's Twilight's cutiemark." Blueblood said. They were at the end of their second book. They giggled at the fact that Twilight had her cutiemark considered an important one. They had found Bluebloods but he only looked at it for two seconds before they had moved on.

"I don't know... we only have one more..." Celestia said. They each hesitated before she got a book called...' The legendery cutiemarks... ' It was a book with VERY powerful cutiemarks. They started to flick through... They'd reached the end finding three pages left. One with Lunas cutiemark. One with Celestias'.... and the one Blueblood had seen on Harmony. The very last one.

"It's this one..." He said not believing his eyes.

"It..." Luna started

"Can't..." Celestia continued.

"Be..." Blueblood finished. Harmony was a ledendery pony... THE pony. Right there was Harmonys' cutiemark. Under the picture was an explaination of what it meant and the families that owned this beautiful power. Luna began to read what it said.

" The harmonic Cutiemark is powerful. This mark alows it's owner to spread harmony through-out the place it's in. While this is only the basic cutiemark it allows its' user to be able to have unbelieveable power enough to raise and set the sun and moon.It is a beautiful and helpful power. Originally coming from the harmonic alicorns. The war that had arrupted from the droconici had eliminated them all... most of them. Two were able to escape. One was from the Harmonic family [a stallion] and the other [a mare] who was from Music family which was a family made for music fell in love. Both were very careing and kind ponies and very talented in magic with the Music survivor having a beautiful voice and the harmonic stallion they both re-started a race for the harmonic family with the mare happily giving up her family bonds to be with her lover. Though they found that once in every 300 births the child would be a unicorn and not an alicorn. This user is also able to detect evil..." Luna said trailing off at the end.

"Who knew?" Blueblood said thinkning this was all a dream.

" Who knew my nephew had a crush on a powerful pony." Smirked Luna

"How in the stars name did you know that?" He exclaimed bwildered that Luna knew his... ahem 'little' secret.

"OOOOOOOOHHHH. are we going to have a new neice now Blueblood?" Teased Celestia.

"Please let us get back to the main topic..." Sighed Blueblood... The girls giggled.

Harmony's POV [my pov... EEEEEEEEK]

I was trotting up the corridor hoping to be able to get to the crystal empire. I really was worried. The worry soon soothed when i saw Blueblood trotting down the corridor too. He just looked super cu- okay harmony stop thinking about how cute he is. He trotted up to me with a smile.

"Hello Harmony. Where are you going?" he asked. He was so cute... and i was so suspisus... why? Because i felt like he was up to something... I just shrugged it off thinking it was just me.

"I was actually thinking of going to the crystal empire... To visit Shining and Cadence." I replied to him... TRYING not to get lost in his eyes.

"Really? Oh think i can come along?" He asked me. I smiled and nodded.

"Sure. I could use the company." I told him.

"Exellent. I will go and inform my aunts and then we'll set off." She chirped happily to me as he then went off. I let out a small blush when he wasn't looking. He looked SOOOOO CUTE when he was happy.Later we met at the station and paid for out tickets. Since Blueblood was royalty we both got our own place... just the two of us... he looked so cute...

"So... Ever been to the empire?" I asked him with a smile. I was sitting right beside him to give him company... and because i loved it when we were both together.

"Yes... Last year at hearths warming. Lovely snow if i must say." He replied to me with a smile.

"I love the snow... But i've never been to the empire. Looking farwards to coming." I chuckled with a smile letting out a yawn.

"It's going to be a long ride... You might as well take a short nap while you're at it." He told me i giggled.

"Yes... but i'm not tired... i am but just like my mother says i'm just too stubborn to know what's happening with me and to accept it or not." I told him. he gave me a giggle

"I could see that." He told me. I playfully nudged him in the arm.

"Yes... Though i wonder what my crush thinks of me..."  I told him. He looked at me.

"You've got a crush on somepony? who is he?" He asked me.

"You'll be surprised at who it is..." I mummbled under my breath.

"Come on Harmony. Tell me... Please?" He asked me using the puppy eyes. He KNOWS i can't say no to puppy dog eyes. I bite my lip only to tell him.

"It's..." I said before he interupted.

"I love you." He said all of a sudden. wait what?????

"I... Love you t-too" I stuttered. His ears perked up at this.

"Really? So i'm..."

"My crush..."I finished for him.

"So... should we both be..." He asked trailing off.

"If you want... wow this is awkward..."I said laughing a little(Nice statment...). I stared into his eyes... Those careing cute blue eyes. We both didn't notice how close we were. Soon we were kissing without knowing... i didn't pull when we did... nore did he. We both broke it gasping for air a little.

"wow..." He said looking at me.

"I know..." I gasped.

"So are we?" He asked.

"I guess we are..." I replied with a nod.

"Do you want to be?" He asked.

"I do..." I replied. We both smiled. The conductor told us that we arrived at the empire... seriously? I now have a coltfriend and that guy comes into the place? it ruined the moment... We stepped out of the train and started to trot to the castle. Getting in was easy because the guards were expecting us there due to the orders of the princess. It was beautiful... the empire... crystally and happy. Ponies very friendly and none were fighting. again i felt harmony and happiness... But as soon as we entered the empire i felt like SOMETHING was following us... a shadow probably... maybe the one that was next to Cadence? I shook the thought out of my head as we walked over to the throne room. We saw Cadence and bowed after she gave a sigh.

"You two know you don't need to bow... right?" She asked us. We both giggled.

"We know... we're just teasing Cadence." I told her giving her a hug.

"I know. But really it gets sooooo annoying." She wined.

"Tell me about it cousin." agreed Blueblood.

"Yes... Is there something different about you two? Or is it just me?" She asked knowing the answer.

"I know you know Cadence... No point in pretending you don't know."I told her. She rolled her eyes.

"Fine... let me guess... train ride?" She asked. I giggled and nodded. She giggled too.

"Yes... Can we change subject now girls?..." asked Blueblood rolling his eyes.

"Why not. I believe this is your first time at the empire... right Harmony?" asked Cadence with a smile.

"You could say that Cadence..." I replied to her with a giggle.

"Well then... Why don't you both go look around? I'm sure ponies wouldn't mind helping you around if you get lost." Cadence suggested.

"I guess we should... But i bet you i could find my way round before you Harmony." Blueblood stated before he let out a grin.

"Don't mis-judge me Blueblood. For all you know i might not be what you think i am..." I warned him. He rolled his eyes. Shining walked in

just in that moment.

"Hi Shining." I said. He smiled warmly.

"Hello Harmony. Hello Blueblood.... What are you two doing here?" He asked.

"We're just visiting... Harmony wanted to visit so i came along." Blueblood Replied for me. I nodded.

"Yes... Okay what are you lot hiding? I know there's something here so spit it out." He demanded.

"Uhh..." Cadence started.

"Me and Blueblood are..." I started.

"Dating." He finished. I smiled at him and stepped closer to him.

"Really??? Congratulations." He told us.

"Thanks. Couldn't ask for anypony else..." Blueblood thanked nuzzling me.

"awww. That's soooooo CUTE." Exclaimed Cadence.

"Okay. Before all of that i sent a letter telling that you two will be staying here for two days... So let's get you two to your rooms." Shining stated giggling when he saw me and Blueblood. So me and Blueblood followed Shining armour to our rooms to get unpacked. We did so but we helped eachother. We did mine first considering i had brought... almost any items and Blueblood was next considering he was still Blueblood and he brought what felt like millions of things. By now we were both in the castle gardens just wondering around idly. It was peaceful...calm... and happy. We were now sitting on the bench. I lay my head on his shoulders and stay like that for some moments before he starts talking.

"Harmony?" He asked.

"Yes Blueblood?" I replied to him picking my head up from his shoulders.

"Would you ever hide something from me?" He asked me this so unexpectingly that i hd no clue what to say. I took a few moments to stare into his blue eyes and then sighed.

"It depends what type of thing i hide. If i seriously MUST hide it then yes... but if i don't need to hide it then i would never... not from you." I replied. He then sighed.

"are you sure?" He asked me looking down to the ground.

"I'm as sure as candy in a candy bar." I replied to him. When i said this we both started to giggle.

"Yeah i guess... What family do you come from?" He asked me. I froze... should i tell him? Should i trust him with something THIS big? If i did tell him... what would be his reaction? I bit my lip but i just wish right now that he didn't ask me that.

"Let's just say that... my family is pretty... Harmonic."I responded with a giggle

"Would think so... would you care to see my family? Then i can see yours." He told me with a smile. What harm would it do to show him my family... though we have to go to my own home to see them...

"I would love for that to happen... but when you meet my family try not to spread the secrets it holds..."I told him. We both giggled and went inside. We were now at the dinner table with Cadence and Shining armour. We were talking about what happened through-out the day. Right about now i was listening to how cadences' day went... From the sound if it... it was busy.

"Once that was FINLY finished i came here." She ended.

"Whoa... That's one busy day.... I've got bust days but NONE as as busy and yours was today." I exclaimed.

"I have to do it... it's part of my job." She told me.

"I know... trust me i know what it's like to have a busy day... but non of them are as busy as yours." I exclaimed.

"Yes... But we have to do these things." Shining stated.

"We both know that."Blueblood said

"Yes..." I said. Ever since i even stepped into this palace i've felt like i've been followed by somepony... but who? The other ponies didn't notice me for some time. When they saw i was in deep thought Blueblood was the one who asked me if i was alright.

"Dear are you alright?"He asked me. Snapping me out of deep thought.

"Huh? Oh umm... Yes i am... sorry... I was just thinking..." I told him. Giving him a smile

"Thinking? Thinking about what?" Cadence asked me.

"Umm... I just... feel like somepony has been following us..."I replied to them.

"Who do you think would be following you?" Blueblood asked.

"Or it's my mother... Or...  It's somepony i don't know." I replied.

"Mother? I thought you said that she couldn't see." Stated Shining.

"Don't underestimate my family... We are VERY surprising." I warned him with a smirk.

"Phhhfffftttt... Like your family is full of surprises. Mine is defenatly more surprsing." Shining stated.

"You sure about that?" I told im with a smirk.

"Try me..." He 'threatned'. I just rolled my eyes.

"Mom you can  come out now..." I called out. Just then my mother came out. She looked similar to me. Her coat was a perly white. She had sky bue eyes and a soft baby pink mane with a strip of a slightly darker baby pink. Her cutiemark was a pink heart with two blue swords crossing behind it. Her tail was the same style as mine mut her main was down with slight curls hanging loosly.

"You called?" She asked. Shinings' daw dropped to the floor... I only smirked.

"See Shining? NEVER unestimate my family... Oh Cadence can my mother join dinner?" I asked.

"Sure..." She replied dumbfounded that my mother dropped out of the sky. I giggled at Bluebloods reaction. He froze when he saw my mother. I was still giggling at him when he... sort of unfroze.

"Ooookkkkaaayyy... My step cousins marefriends mother just dropped out of nowhere... this is getting akward..." Shining stated.

"Excuse me for that. By the way my name is Sweetsword by the way. You must be Prince Shining armour." My mother introduced. Before i forget... my mother's an alicorn... [don't freak out.]

"Soo... You're a unicorn..." He started.

"No Shining my mother's an alicorn." I told him.

"a fourth?" Cadence said walking into the room from talking to the chefs.

"No. Sixth." She stated.

"Huh?" Blueblood said surprised.

"They don't need to know mother." I mummbled under my breath.

"Oh you. She's alwas worried as to what would happen to our family if ponies started to know more about us. Honestly i'm proud of our family history." My mother stated.

"Really? I'd like to know my marefriends family. She already knows mine."Blueblood stated. 'Great...Just great...' i thought in my head rolling m eyes. just then an idea popped up in my head.

"Why DON'T you meet them then. It would be nice for you all to see. Why don't we invite Celestia and Luna themselves?" I recgomened.

"That would be lovely. I think we have another trip to go on." Exclaimed Cadence in a happy tone. We agrred and went to get our things... well... THEY went to get their things. I stayed to go and help Blueblood...[Of course i would...]. We did what we normally did.Talk...Talk...and Talk. We did that alonng with laughing and giggling... nothing else but that.

"You should have seen your face when she just 'dropped by'. I said between laughes.

"But she LITERLLY dropped by." He defended rolling his eyes.

"Yes i know... but really it was so funny... and adorable." I 'eeeked' in. We both set into a fit of giggles after that.

"We're all done. Let's go before the others think that we're up to something else." He told me. I went a very faint pink and with a giggle we set off. We arrived at the same time Celestia and Luna had. While i bowed to the two sisters right after that we all gave eachother a huge hug. One big one mainly to Luna because we are both a-like in a way.

"How was yesterday you two?" Luna asked once we had de-parted fom our hugs.

"It was lovely. I think i'm going to visit more often... and possibly bring Twilight with me... and drag Blueblood with me to." I replied with a giggle. He rolled his eyes at me and smiled.

"Let's go then... there are ponies we SERIOUSLY don't want to run into while we're on our way... Plus your grandfather is waiting for you Harmony." My mother stated. Luna giggled a little while i only rolled my eyes. So we set off... but ended up going through the everfree forest. Cadence was scared and was sticking closley to Shining armour. Celestia stood with Luna who DID NOT like anything there. Blueblood stood with me in front with me and my mother who didn't seem to mind her surroundings.

"a-a-are w-we t-there yet?" Stuttered Cadence.

"We're almost there Cadence." I replied to her. We went through some bushes and went to two paths that crossed into a 'x' and we stopped there. There was a sign saying 'left is safe right is death'. My mother took right so we all followed. Soon we were able to see the sunshine through the trees. The once eveil-like trees were now going from that to a happy lush green. The animals were now sweet and the birds were now sining as we all passed. We went through some bushes and soon a Castle bigger than Canterlot castle came into view. It was a pure white going gold to the top. balconies were everywhere and flowers were too. Everything looked so...happy. This... is my home.

"Here we are. Now Harmony go on inside and the other two will be there waiting." My mother told me in a singsong voice. I rolled my eyes

and took lead of the group. They were amazed.

"This is my home ponies." I told them happily knowing i was home.

"Wow..." Was all Luna managed to say. I giggled at the comment and carried on. Soon we came inside the castle. It. Was. HUGE. Going inside you could already see a fountain and a whole load of doors. It was my home... i loved it.

"Welcome to my home..." I said with a sigh and a happy smile.

"You... Live here?" asked Blueblood amazed with what he was seeing.

"More or less yes." I replied. Just then an alicorn appered. His coat was also a white one...Pure white. His mane was flowing with a dark blue color and his eyes were a blue too. His cutiemark was some animals in the medows.

"Harmony." He simply said with a welcoming smile.

"Grandfather." I said running to him a huge hug. My grandfather was a sweet alicorn. He loved animals and also gave peace to them. He never EVER did anything he would regret. His wife [my grandmother] had died on the way to some town but she had to go through the everfree... It's the only way we can get out of our own land. in our land if you went the opposit of the everfree you would only find land...land... and more land. Nothing else. My grandmother was attacked by something and it killed her. She was lovely. She had a baby pink coat with a skyblue flowing mane and tail Like Celestias' only with Different shades of blue and her cutiemark was the ocean with a dolfin happily swimming. She was a careing mare and never let her family down. It was what i was told. My mother said that she died a day before i was born. Me and my grandfather departed from our hug and i started to talk.

"These are my friends and coltfriend." I introduced.

"Hello I am Medow."He told them.

"Hello Medow. It's lovely to meet you. I am Princess Celestia. Here is my younger sister Luna. My neice Cadence and her husbind Shining armour and this is my nefew Blueblood." She introduced. They each gave a wave and said Hello. He smiled and nodded.

"Your unkle is training outside... He's still not over the fact that you mother had beat him some time ago." My grandfather said. I giggled.

"You have an unke?" Blueblood asked.

"Yes... He's a little older than Celestia if i do say." I replied to him with a giggle.

"Older than Celestia? I think this is going to be interesting." Stated Luna with a giggle.

"Yes. I'm just as old as Twilight but i tend to grow faster than her." I told her. With that done we set of to the backyard. When we got there they found out it was split into three. [yes... three... a backyard... split into three... don't judge.] The first part was full of animals... Yep it's my grandfather most... favorite place to be. The next bit was smaller than the other parts of the garden. It had a small pond with fsh a bench and path with colorful flowers... and a random tree. Basically it looked like a VERY small park. The last bit was the biggest. It was acctually a training course. It mainly was for the 'fighters' of my family. While my family was granted the gift of spreading harmony across... everywhere we had a natural gift in fighting. My unkle was there. My mother had some age but for her it was nothing. I was about Twilights' age considering... my father. My unkle was actually my mothers' twin. Though he looked almost nothing like her. He had a white coat [seriously my family had a long line of white coats' or what?] and his main and tail were an electric blue. His eyes were strangly a soft green. His cutiemark was a little like my mothers but he didn't have a heart on. In fact his cutiemark was a yellow sheld with the same blue swords crossing infront of t.

"Hi unkle." I shouted so he could hear me. He stopped his training and looked at us.

"Hey Harmony... How's your ahem 'little' trip?" He asked me.

"It was lovely... Let me guess... got beat by mom again?" I replied giving him a hug.

"How on earth did she do that move? I must be the ONLY stallion on the planet who's lost to a girl... my SISTER by the fact." He exclaimed.

"You'll get there... 'Till then you just have to... practice." I told him.

"I guess... but i'm probably the worst fighter in history." He said.

"Not really... you're better at fighting than the royal guards in caterlot. I bed you would've beat them in less than a minuit." I told him to help him chear up.

"Hey. The guards are the best." Exclaimed Shining.

"Haha sorry shining... But it's true." I addmited.

"Who are they Harmony?" He asked.

"Oh sorry must hae forgotten. Unkle this is Princesses Celestia and Luna. Cadence and Shining armour and my colt friend Blueblood." I introduced.

"Hello. My name is Summersword." He told them. I swear Celestia was starting to crush on him because she was just staring at him with a smile that said 'I think i'm crushing on you now... help me Luna...'

"Well... i think this is getting akward..." I stated.

"I know... Hey Harmony? Do you know how to pass the last bit of this course? I still hae no idea how." He addmited.

"Sure. I'm alread at the next leval acctually." I replied.

"Man... I'm getting behind... again." He stated.

"I'll show you." I told him. I smiled and walked over to that course. I took a deep breath as he haded over two swords. I took a moment to just calm myself. I nodded once i was ready. He presses a button activating the course. It then started moving in different directions. I looked at it then ran towards it. I jumped and tried to escape the traps. It wasn't easy. They were just plain random traps. The course was mainly foucuse on strength. Mind and skill. You had to be fast to pass it. Picking up my swords with my magic i started to slash and cut through everything in my way. From ropes to vines to snakes... of course they were rubber...[duh.] I had to keep running and ignore the pain i felt in my hip. It was only a little one though... I ran to my next bit... It was that tiny bit my unkle could never do. He always struggled with it... can't blame him honestly... took me ages to get there. as i sped through the course i saw a way to get passed the tricky part. I had to get passed the 'evil ponies' to get to the end of the course. They were shadow ponies. Evil and perfect to practice on. The dissepired once you hit them with the sword or something that was considered a weapon. I made it through the first... But the last one was the hardest. It could work out all of your moves and it could read your mind to know your moves. So i just did what i could do... not think. It was hard because i heard some of the ponies behind me whisper.

"That is one heck of a fighter." Whispered Shining To my unkle.

"I know... Runs in the family." My unkle whispered back.

"What on earth is she doing?" asked Shining armour wondering what i was doing.

"She can't think..." He whispered under his breath.

"How come?" He asked.

"The shadow... He can read your mind... and he can read your moves. It's why it's so hard to complete it." He replied

"awesome..." Said Shining armour. I closed my eyes and tried to stop thinking about my moves. Soon i just did my moves without thinking. The shadow was confused. He couldn't read my mind... awesome. Soon the... shadow was defeted and with a loud screech he went 'poof'... no more shadow.all that was left was the mingling silence from what ponies had just seen. I then trotted back to the other whos' jaws were nailed to the ground.

"Nailed it." I said returning the swords my unkle gave me.

"Of course you did... You are my daughter." Said the voise of my mother. We all turned around and saw her

"Wouldn't want it any other way mother." I told her.

"Yes... Oh it's getting late. Your rooms have been prepared and..." She started.

"and???" I said.

"and... i totally beat your unkle some days ago." She replied with a smirk.

"Sure spread the news why don't ya sis." My unkle said rolling his eyes.

"I for one in my defence... Was not beat by my own sibling." She defended with a smile.

"Here we go again..." I said rolling my eyes as Blueblood Trotted to my side.

"It annoying that you're always getting to me. I started training first but you always cross the line first. I don't get it." My unkle exclaimed.

"It's becase i was born to fight." My mother said with a smirk.

"Sure you were... and so was i." He exclaimed.

"Right... anyhow while we let my brother get annoyed by the fact that i'm better than him let's get you all to your rooms... The two married ones share." She stated. My unkle took a deep breath to calm himself down and with a push of his wings he took off. He left celestia to gaze off where he went. When Luna giggled she snapped out of trance.

"Okay... I'll take them. You've got more things to do and i've got to catch up with unkle..." I told her. We both giggled and we went our ways... more like she went to bed and i went to get the guests to their rooms. The first i had to get rid of was Shining armour and Cadence. When they were gone and had settled down i took Luna to hers. We had arranged their rooms to their talents. Like for Luna we did her room to make it look like an exact copy of the night sky. She was second to drop off then it was Blueblood who gave me a kiss before he went. Last one was Celestia... perfect. We were walking down the hall and we were having a pleasent chat... Until i brought up my unkle.

"So... What do you think of my family?" I asked her with a giggle.

"It's lovely... but how come your unkle is a little older than me?" She asked.

"Well...  My family has been this way probably since your parents married... The fact is that We've been finding that the alicorn face is not exactly extinct as you think." I replied.

"What do you mean?" He asked me.

" The others have been hiding... hiding from what they still think is going on." I replied her.

"I still don't follow..." She told me. I giggled.

"Look." I whispered. We both entered a room and found a little alicorn sleeping. The child was a colt. He had an orange coat and a stripy black and orange mane that flowed. He was sleeping peacefully. His cutiemark was a tiger claw.

"he's an..." Celestia trailed off.

"an alicorn by blood... the poor dear. He was took care by Tigers. They died and i found the poor dear crying some time ago. He got lucky like you and Luna did. Great fighters his parents were... but he's grown to understand the animals he's grown up with... and so his destany came. " I explained.

"Poor dear... But then doesn't that make you his adoptive mother?" She asked me.

"Yes... Blueblood is going to be all crazy about this but i'm sure he'll grow to love this cute little thing." I said with a 'eeek' somewhere in there. We both giggled and carried on. When we reached her room we said our goodbyes and i went to my room. It was simple but with designs in it. I stepped in to bed and the next thing i know... i'm asleep...
