Next Generation of Royalty

~Canterlot~

It was a beautiful Spring Morning in Canterlot, the scenery was lit up with a hint of light by the Sun coming up, a few stars still in the air that made even more beautiful. The fresh air, a gentle breeze, blooming flowers, everything was such a sight. The cities were quiet at this hour, Ponies were still sleeping, and all the Shops there were closed, about to open in a few hours. Celestia had awoken, right as the clock stroke 0500, she went to her balcony and looked around.

Peaceful as always the white Alicorn Princess thought with a chuckle. She flew into the air, rose her hooves, and used her magic to rise her blazing Sun. She flew down and saw Luna behind her.

"Hey, Tia, are you alright?"

"Of course, just rising up the Sun, preparing for the day ahead of us."

"Okay, just checking. Hey, Twilight and Cadance are coming for a visit, remember?"

"Oh, yes, thank you for reminding me! I am so happy they have the time."

"Me too, also, breakfast is ready. It's your favorite, Prench Toast!"

"Yay! Thanks, let's go, but first, did you wake up the children?"

"Yes, they are up and are waiting for you."

"Okay, but let me wake up Discord, he doesn't like missing out on breakfast."

"Ah, thy shall wait."

"Thanks, Lulu."

Luna left her room as Celestia went over to Discord. He was floating atop the huge bed that they share, she punched him playfully, but gently, she thought he was cute while he was asleep. She tugged the blanket off him, he woke up and rubbed his eyes.

"Why did you wake me up? I was in the middle of dreaming of us together." He said in a flirtatious tone.

"Ha, that's so sweet."

"Now, if you'll excuse me, I want to dream."

"Oh, well then, I guess you'll miss out on breakfast!"

Discord zoomed out of the room and Celestia grinned, he loves his breakfast. She left and closed the doors to the room. She went through the maze of doors and hallways, as she made her way down to the others.

"Good morning, Mother!" Chaore, Celestia and Discord's only daughter, who was 24 years old, she was a lot like Fluttershy, kind, sweet, and loves children and animals. The only thing different was that she was half draconequus, half alicorn.

"Good Morning to you as well, good morning everypony!"

"Morning Aunt Celestia, I presume you want Prench Toast too." Night Thunder, the son of Luna and Grey Cloud, he was 25. He was a gentlecolt, he was really nice, smart, great at sports, great at flying, and he was a good rolemodel. He was the oldest of all the children.

"Yes, I do. Well, if you have any left, but I thought you were waiting for me." Celestia raised an eyebrow at Luna.

"Oh, yeah, when Discord came down, he said thy do not want any."

Discord appeared next to Celestia, and lifted her chin."Oh, yes, dear Sweetheart, did I tell you about my dream of the two of us?" He made two puppet models that are similar to Celestia and himself, and a little puppet stage. Copied Celestia's accent"Oh, Discord! Save me!" In his own accent"Come here, my love" he said in a deep romantic tone. He made the puppets kiss then bow.

"Discord, not now, or.......at all." Everypony was disgusted.

"Oook, well, when are we going to pick up Infinity?" Night Thunder, the son of Luna and Grey Cloud(Luna's Personal guard), who was 25 years old. He was a nice, gentlecolt and was a half alicorn, half bat-pony.

"We're not only picking up her, and to answer that question, at 0800, so after breakfast, we must be getting ready." His Father answered him.

"Looks like somepony has a crush." Moon Dust, the sibling of Night Thunder, who was 18. She was a rebellious, jerky, immature, filly. She was mean, and doesn't have any real friends besides her cousin, and her non-blood related cousins.

"Maybe I do, maybe I do NOT, have a crush on her. Maaaaybeee, FINE, I do."

"It's really obvious, since you speak of her in your dreams." Moon Dust chuckled.

"Enough of that, no more fighting! Now, we shall get Twilight and Sir Flash Sentry, along with Starry." Luna looked at both her children. "Then, we shall get Cadance, and her family, at the Train Station approximately at 0800, to be stated again." Starry Night is Twilight and Flash's son, who is 17. He is smart, athletic, and friendly, he is a normal colt.

"Should we be getting ready?" Chaore asked then looked at Luna.

"Yes, you could get ready first, thank you." Luna responded, then looked up at the clock, it stroke 0536 as she looked back at them."Go ahead and get ready, I shall clean up." They all left as she swept the floor.

~0730~-Twilight's Castle-

"Should I bring Flashcards? Wait! WHERE ARE MY FLASHCARDS?! Flash, could you help me!"

"Hold on, let me just put something away."

"It was not a question!"

"Okay, comin'. What is it?"

"Where are the flashcards? And my scrolls and quills? Do you know?" Looks intensly and deeply into his eyes.

Pushes Twilight away gently."Umm, what do you need it for?"

"For important notes! What if Princess Celestia tells us important and called us, only for an accurately serious meeting?!" Twilight starts twitching and hyperventilates.

"Whoa, calm down and breathe, inhale, exhale." Inhales and Exhales."You don't need to worry, they invited us because we haven't seen them for at least a year, so we can catch up with each other, trust me, and I can assure you that there is not going to be any trouble headed our way."

"Okay, I trust you." Hugs Flash."But, can I just bring ONE Flashcard?"

Flash starts laughing."You haven't changed one bit, and that's why I love you."

Twilight starts to blush. "Love you too." Flash kisses Twilight and hugs her. "Sorry for worrying too much, guess I get worried over these things, just an old habit."

Flash hugs her again, then to take notice that Starry is not there."Wait a minute, where's Starry?"

"Stop worrying Dad, I was here."

"Wait, what do you mean you were there? Have you been staying there the whole time?"

"Umm, yeah, that's what I just said. So, are we gonna get going?"

"Oh yes, Flash when were they coming again?"

"Right Now." A few seconds after he said that, they heard a knock on the door. Flash opened the door and saw Celestia and Luna's family.

"Oh, hello Celestia, Luna, thank you for inviting us again."

"Yes, of course. Now, we shall go to the Train Station, Cadance will be here any minute." Luna said then shifted her direction to Celestia. "Are you ready?"

"Yes, let's go. Silver Sheild, take us to the Train Station." The Guard nodded and bowed down.

~0800~-The Train Station-

The Train Station was congested with ponies from Fillydelphia and Manehattan to places like Cloudsdale and Las Pegasus. The Train from the Crystal Empire was nearly there, as some Ponies waited to see Princess Cadance and her family. They soon arrived as Ponies crowded around and taking pictures. Princess Cadance kept walking while the others just smiled and waved. As they were waiting Ponies asked them multiple questions and took pictures.

"Back away from the Crystal Princess, No taking pictures!" A Crystal Guard shouted at the Ponies. A few minutes later after a lot pictures and lots of yelling, Princess Celestia and the others came to pick the Princesses and Princes up, and lots of Ponies were gathering.

"SWEET CELESTIA! IT'S ACTUALLY PRINCESS CELESTIA, PRINCESS LUNA, PRINCESS CADANCE, AND PRINCESS TWILIGHT!" One little filly shouted as she was face-to-face with Princess Celestia.

"Hello there, little one." Celestia chuckled and hugged the little filly.

"Everypony, go back to what you were doing, The Princesses are about to leave!" A Guard said then went back to the Princesses' chariot.

"It was an honor seeing you, Princess Celestia." A mare said then bowed down, the other Ponies started bowing one after the other.

"It is the same to you, Goodbye Everypony!" Luna lowered her head and went to the chariot with the others. They came back to the Canterlot Castle and went inside.

"Ah, a nice touch to the room, Aunt Celestia" Infinity Heart pointed to the crystalline chandelier that her Mom gave Celestia. Infinity Heart was Princess Cadance and Shining Armor's 24 year old daughter, she is the eldest of the children. She was beautiful, smart, wise, great at magic, great at flying, responsible, a incredible rolemodel and leader, and she was really kind. Her parents were surprised to find out she was born an alicorn, which is She had two other siblings, Crystal Sword and Shining Love. Crystal Sword was a pegasus at the age of 17, he was immature, great at flying, athletic, and a total jerk, he is also very dumb. Shinjng Love is a unicorn an adolescent of 15 years, she is always positive, bubbly, happy, and tells great jokes, sometimes they can get a little too inappropriate. She is also a huge fan of Pinkie Pie. "I'm glad you noticed, but I think you are aware that your Mother gave me it." Celestia said a little bit confused.

"Oh, I know, I am just happy that it is in use." Infinity chuckled. "Anyways, what hall we be doing today?"

"We have not a clue, but you could do whatever you want for now." Luna turned to Cadance, Twilight, and Celestia. "What do you think?"

"I think I would love to talk to you guys, it would be nice to hear what's going on here in Canterlot." Cadance hadn't heard from them, nor had received a letter from them since the start of the war in the Crystal Empire.

"Of course, anything you would want." Luna looked at Celestia. "Oh, and Tia, where shall we go for dinner, I shall make a reservation."

Celestia lifted Luna's chin and smiled. "It's okay, I will take care of this, you can go with Cadance and Twilight and maybe go to the café downtown."

"I can assist you in these matters if you plead." Luna looked at her with worry.

"Oh, Lulu, you do not need to worry, you can go with Twilight and Cadance, I will be okay here."

"Okay, I will not intrude." Luna faced Twilight and Cadance and signaled them to follow her.

"Discord, please come here." Discord appeared in a hat as Celestia finished.

"Yes Dear?"

"I want you to take Flash, Shining Armor, and Grey Cloud, they also need some relaxing time, and I am relying on you to do that for me."

"Okay, we will just go to Sweet Apple Acres. And I promise, not to create chaos."

"You better keep that promise, Discord. Not just promise, Pinkie Promise." Celestia looked sternly into his eyes.

"Cross my heart, hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye." He did the Pinkie Promise then made a cupcake appear and he put the cupcake in his eye. "There, is that good enough for you?"

"Yes, now go ask them."

"Okay, I'll see you later." He disappeared and Celestia went back to what she was doing.

-Chaore's Bedroom-

"So, what do you want to do? Any ideas, anypony?" Chaore sat down on her bed.

"Ooooh! I have an idea!" Infinity continued. "We could go to the museum, maybe look at the founding of Equestria, see some ancient artifacts and look at incredible features? Look at the war during the first few years of Aunt Celestia and Luna's reign? Or, excuse me, the banishing of Nightmare Moon? She said enthusiastically.

"That sounds gre-" Chaore was stopped by Sword.

"BORING!" Sword groaned.

"RUDE, and I think it is a great idea, I haven't got the chance to look at everything there." Chaore looked at Sword.

"Yeah, we can do that, and maybe even go to the library two buildings away." Thunder added to the choice.

"Okay, sounds like a plan!" Shining Love shot out of Pinkie's cannon.

"Where'd you get that?" Infinity asked a little worried.

"From the one, and only, PINKIE PIE!" She started giggling and laughing for some reason and even snorted.

"Whoa, calm down Shining." Starry tried calming that hyperventilated little filly.

"What are you so happy about?" Infinity amed the filly who was calming down.

"I am SUPER EXCITED! I am going to meet the one, and ONLY, P-" She was stopped.

"Pinkie Pie." Sword said to her knowingly.

"How do you know, I was seeing the one, and ONLY, P-" She  jumped and was stopped once again by her brother.

"Pinkie Pie, yes, I knew since you have Pinkie Pie pictures all over your room, which is not creepy at all." He said sarcastically. "Also Pinkie Pie, well, basically everything all over, and you also talk in your sleep."

"Oh, okay." Shining sat floated down like a feather onto a pillow.

"So, are we gonna go?" Starry said willing to go with them.

"Okay." Sword groaned.

"Oh, I almost forgot, I think the WONDERBOLTS, said they'd be there at the musuem." Infinity said to get him to come.

Sword forms a huge smile on his face, and gets lots of his Wonderbolts posters, merchandise, and cap. "LET'S GO!" Sword grabs Starry and flies away.

"Oh, and I think they are selling some candy, too." Thunder said to Shining who was hugging her Pinkie plushie.

"WHAT?! CANDY?! WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME?!" She said as she grabbed Chaore's hoof and left.

"Okay, let's go!" Thunder is about to grab Infinity's hoof but she pushes him away.

"Hold on, I would rather you not pull me."

"Sorry, heh, I guess I got carried away, that I almost got you carried away, literally." Thunder chuckled nervously.

"Okaaay, well, I think I-I'll get going, Bye!" Infinity disappeared into a pink spark of magic.

"Wow, I ruined this chance with her, STUPID, STUPID!" Thunder hit his face with his hoof. "I really embarrassed myself this time, huh?!" He angrily disappeared into a violet spark of magic.
