Chapter 1

It was a nice and peaceful day in Ponyville. The birds were chirping Pegasus were clearing the clouds. Everyone was minding their own business. But did this mean that Princess Twilight Sparkle would stay in Ponyville and hang out with her friends today like any other day? Nope. She felt a little adventurous today and decided to go into the Everfree forest to do some research of the area. Speaking of which she's been at it for about five hours now in another hour or two it would be lunch time. So Twilight thought it was a good idea to turn back and head back home. But as she was turning around she noticed a strange glow not too far away from her. Curious Twilight decided to check it out. Moments after Twilight got to the source of the glow she discovered a blue gem with the star found in the center. She decided to levitate it and bring it back to her new castle. But as soon as Twilight's magic touched it. The gem began to glow even brighter. Before she could turn and run away or even teleport the light engulfed her and she was gone.

While Twilight was doing research in the Everfree, Rainbow Dash was practising her speed and agility by chasing some of the clouds over the Everfree. (Since the weather over the Everfree was wild she could do this all day without getting into trouble.)

Around the same time as Twilight saw the strange glow Rainbow Dash saw a glow from down in the forest, and she also went to it. But when she got there all she saw was Twilight being engulfed by a light and just when she was about go and help her, the light faded, leaving only a gem that was no longer glowing. Worried that if she left the gem behind when she went for help. She would forget where it was or if this was a trap by some otherpony it may be get taken somewhere else, so Rainbow decided to grab the gem and run back to Ponyville. Hoping to find Spike and have him sent a letter to Princess Celestia and Princess Luna. Believing that somehow Twilight was stuck within the gem.

Meanwhile, Twilight woke up rubbing her head wondering what just happened. She began looking around for the strange gem only to see that it was nowhere to be found, and on top of that for some strange reason the forest seemed a little different. The area looked the same as where she was just a moment ago. However, the plants surrounding her seemed a lot younger than she recalled them to be. But she thought that should be something to be more worrisome on a later date. So she decided to put it on her mental list of things to think about later and started heading back to Ponyville. As she was heading back, she noticed a Lake and something clicked in her head: She didn't know if the gem did something to her or not. So she decided to check to see if she didn't somehow. Turned back into a unicorn or became a Pegasus or even earth pony somehow. When she got to the lake she looked at her reflection and as soon as she did she realized that gem did do something to her. "SWEET CELESTIA!!! What did that gem do to me?!"

What that gem did to her was change her lavender fur coat to light pink, a pink that almost matched Fluttershy's mane and tail color, and speaking of which: own mane and tail colors they had completely changed as well. Her obsidian was replaced with white and her pink and purple streaks were just purple now. Her eyes luckily stayed the same, along the fact that she still had her horn and wings. This caused her to sigh in relief. But there was one thing left she did not check so Twilight turn to her side and looked at her Cutie Mark, which caused her to gasp at what she saw. Instead of her magenta six pointed star with five smaller white six pointed stars around it. There was simply six purple five pointed stars! That were about the same size as the one in the center. Twilight staring at her cutie Mark for the longest time. Starting to hyperventilate until she started doing the breathing exercises that Cadence had taught her. She began to talk to herself trying to figure out what was going on. "Okay no need to panic a strange blue gem started this... And should I ever find that gem again, I will be certain to feed it to Spike. So then no one else will have to deal with changed appearances... But allowing me to remain an Alicorn and to change my Cutie Mark even, Which I thought was never possible. Except with Starlight Glimmer. But that was different, and the moment I woke up in the Everfree forest. The forest itself seem different you there has to be an explanation for this... Right???"

While this was happening Rainbow just got to Twilight's Castle and had knocked on the doors to the Castle. Hoping that Spike was there. Moments later Spike opened the door to see who it was. Noticing it was Rainbow Dash he smiled at her, thinking that she came here to see Twilight for some reason." Hey Rainbow sorry but Twilight is not home at the moment. If you wanted to do some practice with her you might be able to find her in the Everfree. she went into it to do something... I don't know exactly what for... I think she said something about looking for new type of plants. To research or something. I don't know when she'll be coming back but I can tell her that you stop by if you want me to and relay a message if you want."

Rainbow Dash gave him a anxious look before answering. "Actually I saw Twilight in the forest and that's why I came to get help." Just then, she pulled out the gem that made Twilight disappear in the first place and held it out in her front hoof. "I'm think that this gem has done something to her. I don’t know what it did. I also was not there to see the whole thing by the time I got there. All I saw was her being engulfed by the light from this gem. And then once the gemstone stopped glowing she was nowhere to be found. That's why I came here. I need you to send a letter to the princess about this at once!"

At hearing this Spike gave out a worried look, and immediately ran for a scroll and some ink and began to write the information that Rainbow had just told him. As soon as he was done he rolled it up, blew his Dragon fire on it, and it was sent to Princess Celestia immediately. After that the two just sat down since now, the two just had to wait for a response.

Meanwhile, Twilight was still pondering on what happened. "This could be a prank from Discord... But ever since we opened the chest from the tree of harmony, I can feel when he's doing something and I don't feel a trace of him anywhere... I don't feel the same way I did when he messed with my colors before... With that prank that Rainbow Dash dared him to do so I can actually scratch him off the list. I also don't think it was Starlight Glimmer either, Even though that could maybe explain what happened with my cutie Mark.... But when she messes with cutie marks it normally is an equal sign. Plus I don't think she knows any color alterations spells so have to check her off the list... The only thing I can think of is that gem is like the mirror that I walked through to the dimension that Sunset Shimmer resides in now. Though does that mean I'm in another dimension? And this is what my alternate self looks like? Well it would make sense since when I go to the dimension where Sunsets resides now I turn human so. This is going to have to be my best guess that means the only way to get back home is to find that gem. Meaning I need go back to where I passed out and hope to find it there."

It didn't take her long to reach the area where she thought she came to after she passed out. She began to do a more thorough look for the gem when she heard something coming from behind her. She turned around to see what it was and to her shock, it was an Alicorn stallion, which was an oddity on itself, Since her Equestria had no Alicorn stallion’s. And if this world was just doing a coloration with a cutie Mark change then the stallion should not exist. Another thing that's stuck out to Twilight. Was the fact that he had the same exact cutie Mark as Princess Celestia, and the same white fur coat, but that was all the two had in common. This stallion who Twilight had to assume was Princess Celestia counterpart. Was more masculine than Celestia, his mane and tail had three colors instead of four. Which were all light orange, along with a kind a light red with a darker red that was kind a like cooling lava, Which all three colors look like they were somewhat faded out along with the fact he had a beard. His crown looked like Celestia's. But no carvings were placed on it, and was also attached to a helmet that if her brother was forced to wear a crown. He would more likely have the crown made into, Since he is more of a Royal guard then a elegant prince. The adornment that Celestia would where normally around her neck. Was replaced with something that kind a look like partial armor. And her purple gems that she would have in the center of her crown and neck where. Was no longer purple. But a ruby colored gem. But still the same shape and he also had blue eyes. That would matched one of Celestia's multicolored mane and tail. Despite the fact that. Twilight knew that more than likely this was her former mentor's counterpart. The same former mentor who she considers like a second mother. She found him somehow quite attractive. And knew for a fact that if Rarity was heard she would try to score a date with him right away.

Just then, the stallion decided to speak to her. "Sorry to disturb you. But from my Castle I saw of this strange glow and I thought that I should investigate. I'm pretty sure the glow came from here. So by any chance do you know what that glow was?"

"Oh um... You see I was exploring the forest when I stumbled upon some weird gem. And when I came to I didn't see the gem anywhere. So I thought I'd start heading home but then I noticed that some things that were different. So I automatically assumed it had to be that gem. So I came back and began to looking for it. In hopes that if I can maybe find it and see if I can make it figure out what it done."

The stallion counterpart of Celestia, Who had just then took another good look at Twilight before asking another question. "Could this difference be the fact that you are now an Alicorn?"

At hearing this Twilight gave the puzzled look. She thought that Celestia's male counterpart would know her counterpart, Since she now more than likely looked like her counterpart that had ascended in this world. "Um, no, I was actually Alicorn before gem started glowing. You see what that gem did was for some strange reason the forest look to me lot younger than I remember. It also changed my coloration's and my cutie Mark somehow. The only things that stay the same was me being an Alicorn and my eye-color that's it. Everything else seems different. And I know for the fact that you're one of the two eldest Alicorns in Equestria the one that brings the sun. You look like the one from where I'm from, but yet you're different. I am starting to think that somehow that weird gem brought me to a different dimension. But I'm not quite sure at the moment anymore. I know it sounds bizarre, but that's all I know is going on."

At hearing this, the stallion's eyes began to widen. Twilight thought it was because he knew what was going on. But in all honesty it was because he just found out that this mare was already in Alicorn for some time. Add to that the fact that the only other Alicorn he knew was his little sister and looking at Twilight again. He thought the young mare was somewhat cute even though he was just told that her coloration's were changed. But he was not going by the coloration she had. He thought that more than likely the coloration's were the only things that change. But her physical appearance was more accurate to who she really was. And that along with what he thought was cute but he didn't want to admit it out loud. Also, he was kind a curious about the gem. So he decided to focus more on the gem than her at the moment. "This strange gem what did it look like?"

Twilight thought about it for a moment before answering. "Well. It was a light blue gem with a start a center some parts of the star was blackish blue. Was around the size of a small rock other than it was glowing and nothing else comes to mind on the gem's appearance."

Getting all the information he could from the mare he decided to go and locked up the information. He just got in his head and look more into it later as well ask Star Swirl the Bearded if he knew anything about this. Luckily Star Swirl would be around for a long time. So he could help figure it out since that old stallions weird spell. He placed on himself should last him another 200 and some years before he would die. The Prince just wished that the written spell itself was not destroyed in the process. When Star Swirl used the spell, but getting back at the task at hoof. This strange Alicorn mare could be from another dimension. More than likely had nowhere to go. So he thought it would be best if he took her back to his castle, and let her stay there until things could get fixed. Also, he really wanted to get to know her for some strange reason. "Well I know nothing about that gem. But I will look more into it until then, you're welcome to stay at my castle until we get things fixed."

At hearing this Twilight gave them him warm heartfelt smile that made the Prince heart flutter for a bit. "That's nice of you but don't you live with the Alicorn of the night? Shouldn't you ask that Alicorn first before having me stay at the Castle?" The only reason why she asked was because she knew for a fact that Princess Luna did not like surprises. Not unless it was on Nightmare Night. But other than that she hated surprises. And more than likely this Alicorn of the night had the same personality as Luna.

At hearing this he chuckled. "I'm sure Princess Luna would be fine with this. Now come along, we should start heading back to the Castle."

At hearing Luna's Twilight froze in place. She was beginning to wonder what kind of strange dimension she was in. (How in the world was Princess Celestia a stallion and not Luna? Could her coloration's be different from the Luna she knew.) There was only one way to find out. "Um sorry if this sounds like a strange question but what is your sister look like?"

The Alicorn prince chuckled. "I guess you would wonder since your coloration's have change. More than likely my coloration's are more than likely different in your dimension as well. So you asking that sounds reasonable to ask. Well for starters she has a darker shade of blue eyes than mine. Her mane and tail look like the night sky. Her coat is obsidian with a midnight black splotch on her flank. She has a crescent moon for a cutie Mark. She likes wearing crystal shoes black crown and a black neck-wear with her cutie Mark on it. All along with the fact that she not as tall as me, but taller than you. And that's basically what my little sister looks like."

At hearing this Twilight was even more confused, Unless her personality was different. This Luna would be an exact replica of her Luna. Which would not make sense if she was in a different dimension. More questions were coming to her as the two walk towards the Castle, which even brought more questions, Since they weren't heading towards Canterlot Mountain. But instead the Castle of the two sisters, Which was destroyed back when Luna became Nightmare Moon. If this was an alternate dimension. And this dimension was a lot like her dimension. But yet different from their time frame should be the same as her's to some extent. At this same time the prince realized that he never told this mare his name, nor did he knew her name. "By the way, I forgot to tell you my name, nor have I asked your name as well. And I wish to fix that my name is Prince Solarium what is your name?"

Twilight looked back at him before answering his question. "My name is Twilight, Twilight..."

"And who is this mare you bring home dear brother?"

At hearing this Twilight stopped what she was saying and look towards the voice. Which she recognized that it was Luna right away and but she the Princess Luna. Standing there but also Royal guards in old attire. Just then. Everything clicked how the forest seemed much younger than she recalled. Why Prince Solarium did not know her and the fact that the Castle of the two sisters looked mint condition. Also, there was no gorge at the moment where the tree of harmony would be found: Which meant there could be two things that have happened. One being she went back in time as well as going to another dimension at the same time, Which she was hoping that was the case. But the second one seemed more obvious somehow someway: She went back in time, And Princess Celestia had a big secret from her and everyone else in Equestria of her time.
That the secret was she was really a he and been lying to her. Her whole entire life on Princess Celestia's gender. Which was confusing and heartbreaking to her. The reason why it was so heartbreaking was the fact that. She's been lying to her for her whole life. Confusing because she did not know why Solarium was pretending to be Celestia in the first place. At the moment. She only could say one thing out loud at the moment. "BY THE SHINING STARS THAT GEM SET ME BACK IN TIME!"

Author's Note

I decided when I was going to change the coloration and cutie Mark of Princess twilight sparkle. I was gonna use that cutie Mark and colorations of twilight sparkle generation one. So just for those who do not know what twilight sparkle generation one looks like. I found on deviantART two pictures to help people figure it out if my description was not good enough for you all. One of them is of group picture of the main six that somebody done. It looks more of an actual generation one picture. While the second one just shows. Generation one twilight sparkle and generation 4 twilight sparkle both as unicorns though. Just imagine the wings of twilight on and that's what the twilight. In this fanfic at least when she's in the past 200 years before Discord came into the picture is going to look like. Also, I'm going to post a picture of how I think, Prince Solarium would look like. Which is the last picture none of the pitchers belong to me. I pretty much look them up on deviant art for the ones that. I thought would be the best ones to show only as the visual aid to all you. I'm going to place a link below each one of the pictures so that if anyone likes the person's artwork. And wants to look at more of their artwork you can. Also to give credit where it's due. hope you like them.

Chapter 2

~~~ Last time... ~~~

The second scenario seemed more obvious somehow someway: She went back in time, And Princess Celestia had a big secret from her and everyone else in Equestria of her time.
That the secret was she was really a he and been lying to her. Her whole entire life on Princess Celestia's gender. Which was confusing and heartbreaking to her. The reason why it was so heartbreaking was the fact that. She's been lying to her for her whole life. Confusing because she did not know why Solarium was pretending to be Celestia in the first place. At the moment. She only could say one thing out loud at the moment. "BY THE SHINING STARS THAT GEM SET ME BACK IN TIME!"

~~~ And Now... ~~~

At hearing this. Everyone started staring at her Prince Solarium was shocked at hearing this. He didn't even think of time travel. But then again she did say that the forest seemed a lot younger to her. And maybe the reason why her coloration's was changed was so that he wouldn't know who she would be in the future, which meant it would be best that he did not know what her real last part of her name. This made him upset thinking about it. Princess Luna was shocked at hearing time travel as well. But she was also quite pleased to hear somebody brought up her night normally she would hear: "By Solarium's sun" or "By Solarium's beard" or something like that. It was quite pleasant that someone would use her stars as a reference instead of her brother. At that moment Luna already like Twilight and wanted to help her out anyway she can. Now to be honest Twilight wanted to say. "By Celestia sun and Luna's moon she is now in the past." but the fact that Celestia is now a he it wouldn't be best to use that saying at the moment. Just then Solarium cleared his throat before talking. "Well now we know what that gem did and why it changed your coloration's and cutie Mark. It must have sent you back in time and for some reason it did not want your future identity to be known by others. Like if my sister and. I were for instance more than likely to would recognize you in the future. If we knew who you fully were and might try to stop you from going back in time. So it probably would be best if you don't tell me your last part of your name miss Twilight. If you would like you can just switch your last part of name to something else for now and will just go by that."

Twilight thought about it for moment before answering. "Shimmer, you can call me Twilight Shimmer for now."

At hearing this Prince Solarium nodded his head before looking toward his sister. "Luna since she is from another time, Which at the moment before we got here. We thought she was from another dimension. But now we know she is instead from a different time, she has no place to stay. So I offered her a place to stay at the Castle is it alright with you, if she stayed with us for now?"

At hearing this Luna was overjoyed. She was already starting to like this mare already but she has to do her best to behave like a Princess should. She just gave a warm smile and nodded her head. "That sounds like a splendid idea. In fact, she can stay with me in my room."

At hearing this Twilight ear began perk up. "You mean like a sleepover?"

At hearing this. Both the Prince Princess and the Royal guards were puzzled. Wondering what a sleepover could be? Luna was the first one to be brave enough to ask. "I'm sorry but we do not know what you speak of tell us what is this sleepover you speak of?"

At hearing this Twilight began to blush. She knew that the whole reason why Luna became Nightmare Moon. Was because she thought no one really appreciated her night. But she thought ponies would at least do sleepover now and then in this time. So she began chuckling nervously before answering the question. "Sorry, about that I guess ponies are not a big fan of sleepovers yet. Well a sleepover is when a group of friends go to one of their friend's home. Or vice versa and try to stay up as late as they can at night how late they stay up varies by different circumstances. Sometimes the group of friends they stay up an hour or two later than normal. Sometimes the group of friends stay up until the sun rises, and what you do at sleepover varies by the theme or what type of group of friends you have most of the time. One of them which is the only kind I'm used to is an all-girls sleepover. But guys do sleepover as well. I don't really know what they do. Sometimes they are sleepovers where both genders are together at the same place at the same time. But normally at a girl sleepover we eat a bunch of junk food. Play games like play truth or dare, have pillow fights, tell scary stories, perform makeovers, talk about life and about boys we think are cute, and do other things we can think up that we can do for the night. The only thing I know that one of the two other sleepovers do which is when it's a mixed gender sleepover. They play a game called spin the bottle, Which is where a pony spins the bottle that the groups using. And who ever the bottle lands on pony that spin the bottle has to kiss that pony. That's basically what a sleepover is all about."

At hearing this, both Prince Solarium, and the Royal guards, were tempted to blush at that moment. At first the only reason why they wanted to blush. Was learning the fact that at a sleepover girls talk about what boys they think that are cute. For the guards they were thinking about a bunch of the mares that they are interested in. Wondering if they would talk about them in some way if they had the chance. But for Prince Solarium. He was wondering if Twilight would think of him as cute, which he had no idea why he was thinking like that. But the second reason. Which was the biggest reason why they wish to but yet didn't. Was the whole spin the bottle game. Both the Prince and the Royal guards were thinking that who ever invented the spin the bottle was a genius: Because if you played your cards just right. You could end up kissing the mare that you really like or many mares that you like and you wouldn't get in trouble for it. But the only downer is there could be a chance that you end up kissing someone you didn't like.

Meanwhile, Luna's mind was racing. Her mind was racing because if there was something called a sleepover in Twilight's time, Which is some sort of get together at night. Then what other amazing thing do ponies do at night, in the timeframe Twilight came from. Luna was thrilled hearing all this, and she hoped to hear more about how ponies enjoy her night in the future. Prince Solarium finally reeled himself in and cleared his throat. "As much fun that sounds that you too could have I would recommend you don't do that every night. Since we do not know how long you'll be stuck here in this time. It could be a day or two it could be weeks months maybe a year or two or more. So we wouldn't want you the two of you to be worn out every day now do we?"

At hearing this Twilight nodded her head in response agreeing to what he's just said, while Luna was not all that thrilled that her brother had to rain on her parade so soon. But nodded her head as well in agreement anyways. At seeing this Prince Solarium smiled and started heading to the Castle. "Now that we got that settled Luna, why don't you show her to your room. I need to go find Star Swirl and see if he knows anything that can help miss Twilight out with her predicament."

Add hearing Star Swirl's name Twilight beamed."Star Swirl as in Star Swirl the Bearded?"

Prince Solarium paused, turned back to Twilight before he nodded his head. "Yes. That's who I was talking about."

At hearing this Twilight began to squeal which all the males began to panic. Thinking that something was nearby and was about to attack them. Meanwhile, Luna knew exactly what was going on, Since she saw many mares. Behave like this whenever they started talking about her brother when he was not around. She knew for a fact that Twilight was going all fan girl at the moment. "I don't believe it I've read all his books that my mentor allowed me to read. I can't believe I'm in the same timeframe as Star Swirl."

At hearing this. The Royal guards began to calm down while Princess Luna began rolling her eyes thinking in her head. (Great a mini girl version of my brother when it comes to Star Swirl just what I need.) While Prince Solarium was for some strange reason, Feeling a little jealous at his mentor and friend. From seeing how Twilight was reacting to his mentor's name. But then he started wondering why he was getting jealous in the first place. It was not like he was starting to develop feelings for Ms. Twilight or anything right? He cleared his throat once more before speaking. "I can tell with your excitement that you really are a big fan of him. And you more than likely would like to meet him right away. But I should tell him about you first. Before you to meet him so then you don't get him overwhelmed with your excitement."

At hearing this Twilight stopped what she was doing. Nodded her head in agreement. Soon everyone went in their own separate ways. Twilight and Luna heading to their sleeping quarters, While Prince Solarium went off to go see his mentor.

In the meantime. Back in Twilight's original timeframe. Princess Celestia finally got the letter from Spike. She began to read it by the time she got done reading the letter Celestia was utterly terrified. For she remembered hearing the description of that gem. That Spike had mentioned in the letter once before. But the last time she heard of it things did not all that well. Knowing this she began running with the letter still held in her magic to her sister's bed chambers, Once she got there. The only thing Celestia could do was slam open the door and scream one word out. "LUNA!!!"

This of course startled Luna, Which caused her to fall off the bed. Luna looked up to her sister which Celestia had already closed the doors. And looked like she put a soundproof spell in the room. Something was up and Luna was not looking forward to hearing what ever Celestia had to say. "Yes Celestia what is it."

Just as soon as Luna said this Celestia began to cry. "It happened I should've known the two were one of the same, but yet I didn't. It has happened yet again her fate has been sealed."

At hearing this Luna began to ponder what her sister could mean. Looking back at her vast memories which some were still fuzzy from back when she was Nightmare Moon. But at the moment. She didn't have enough info to relay old memories from way back. That could help her understand what's going on. "Sorry, Celestia, but I do not follow can you give out some more detail."

Celestia was starting to get frustrated at the moment and answer for her sister. "TWILIGHT she's gone I lost her then, and I lost her now. I didn't realize the two were one and the same. I should've known the two are so much alike. But I kept thinking that maybe just maybe Twilight Shimmer was Twilight Sparkle's granddaughter. Not that the two were one and the same I should've known now that gem has taken her back in time and she is doomed!"

At hearing this. Memories began to flood in Luna's head. From the moment she first met Twilight Shimmer to the last moments of the young Alicorn mare. Those last memories shook Luna to the core. "Oh sister, you and I both know that we don't fully know what happened at that moment for all we know. Whatever happened just took Twilight away from the past and brought her back to our time. You can't just assume that..."

But before Luna could finish what she wanted to say Celestia, but it in and with pure rage. "That's spell that that unicorn hit Twilight with was meant to kill me Luna so unless somehow she reappears in this timeframe. I'm going to assume that Twilight is as good as dead. You know that her death was the whole reason why I stopped being Prince Solarium. Turning myself into Princess Celestia in the first place."

At hearing this Luna shook her head and sighed before speaking once more. "Solarium I know that what happened in the past had really hurt you back then. But at the moment we have to at least try to see if we can bring her back to our time. There's still a good chance that she survived that spell, and was brought back to our time safe and sound. We can't just say that she dead and leave it at that. We have to at least look at that gem and see what we can do."

At hearing this Celestia began to calm down. Although she was not all that thrilled that her sister called her by her former name but she sighed in defeat. "You're right, but at the moment. I just don't have it in me to go anywhere near the gem that has taken her away from me. Would you mind going on ahead to Twilight's Castle. And try to see if you can do something with the gem if you run out of ideas before I come under my own free will, just come, get me, snd drag me to Twilight's Castle or something. I just really need to clear my head before I go anywhere near that gem. I might do something I may regret to it if I go anywhere near it at the moment."

At hearing this Luna gave her a sympathetic look. "Of course Solarium I completely understand what you're going through at the moment. I'll go on ahead. But if I start getting irritated by that gem. I'll come for you right away and drag your sorry flank to Twilight's Castle. Whether you're ready or not got it."

At this Celestia nodded her head in agreement. And Luna left her quarters to head to Ponyville to try to see if she could undo the gem's spell, and bring Twilight home. Soon after Luna left, Celestia looked out the window and whispered something softly. "Oh please Twilight be safe. Please let me be wrong on the ideas that you died all those years ago. And that you just came back to me in this timeframe, Please Twilight... Please."

~~~ End of Chapter 2 ~~~

Chapter 3

~~~ Last time: ~~~

Celestia looked out the window and whispered something softly. "Oh please Twilight be safe. Please let me be wrong on the ideas that you died all those years ago. And that you just came back to me in this timeframe, Please Twilight... Please."

~~~ And now we return: back in the past! ~~~

Once Luna and Twilight reached Luna's bed chambers. The two walked into the room and the first thing Luna did was grab Twilight and embrace her in a bone crushing hug. "Ms. Twilight in all my years I never met another pony who loves my night as I do. To hear that the future is more active at night is most welcoming! Tell us more about your future and its appreciation for the night."

At hearing this Twilight froze. She didn't know what to say at the moment because if she said too much. She could maybe change the future... and if that happened then maybe it would in turn cause her to never be born, which she did NOT want to happen. "Luna, I'm not sure what I should or should not tell you about the future, Because I don't want the future to change. Sure there are a lot of things I would like to change within history of Equestria. But if I tell you something and you end up changing history. I might not even be born, and I don't think you would want that now do you?"

At hearing this Luna deflated a bit but she had to admit that Twilight gave a valid point. She liked Twilight and she didn't want her to be, erased from existence. But at the same time she was curious about the future still. Just then an idea came into her head. "Well more than likely you came to the past before and yet you still exist. And more than likely you did talk a little bit about your time. So what if you tell me what you feel like talking about. If I ask you a question you tell me whether you would like to answer it or not, and I'll respect it. I promise that I will never ever tell my brother anything you disclose with me. As well as I'll do my best to not change your time-line. Besides, you're going to have to talk to somebody. About your feelings as well as your emotions at the time. Why not We?"

Twilight thought about this for a moment. She hated to admit it, but there were times when Princess Celestia and Princess Luna even more so acted as if she reminded them of somepony they met a long time ago. So it could be possible that she did disclose things to them to some extent at some point. So all she has to do is make certain that Luna did not know about her becoming Nightmare Moon. Maybe give Prince Solarium a hint about the elements of harmony and Discord arrival. And that would be it on the whole big time changing the history thing. But she was also curious about Solarium. Like why would he change his gender and changes name to Celestia, she had to know. Maybe it was dare or something. And tomorrow Solarium would be Celestia again. So Twilight looked towards Luna. Nodded her head in agreement at seeing this Luna started bouncing around until Twilight got her attention. "Luna, there is one thing that is quite different from my timeframe. That I got to know and you might be the only one who can tell me but you got a promise me you will not tell anyone about this. I do not need my future to change big time because of this, but I got to know."

At hearing this Luna gave her determined look. "I vow on my moon as the Princess of the night. I will not tell anyone what you tell me the only exception and I might give a hint to my brother. If the time is right, but that is all."

Twilight sighed be for looking around making certain that no one was the eavesdropping. "Is it Solarium, or is it Celestia?"

At hearing this will not need her puzzled the look. "I'm sorry but I don't understand who Celestia?"

Twilight sighed in defeat. "In my timeframe Solarium is a she, and she goes by the name Princess Celestia."

At hearing this Luna froze for a moment, trying to process the information. She was just giving be for she broke out in a fit of laughter. "You're joking, you're joking right you can't be serious. My brother, Prince Solarium somehow became some mare named Princess Celestia."

Luna continued on laughing until she saw the serious look on Twilight's face, which forced Luna to have the starting realization that Twilight was telling her the truth. "You're serious are you. Somehow, someway my brother became a mare?"

All Twilight did was give Luna of firm nod. This caused Luna to finally realize it wasn't a joke. Just as soon as that happened. She gave out a devious grin. "Oh when you get back to your time. I am so going to tease him about this right in front of you. He got a lot of explaining to do in the future."

At hearing this Twilight paled. "So he is a he not a hiding she?"

Luna just nodded at her before Twilight groaned and plopped her face into a pillow. Twilight stayed like this for a while and Luna tried to comfort her and try to coax her to remove the pillow from her face. By the time she succeeded it was supper time. Which Twilight was starving since she skipped lunch by mistake. And by the time they were halfway down to the dining room. They bumped into Prince Solarium and Star Swirl the Bearded. Which the second Twilight saw Star Swirl she began to squeal once more and forgot about her hunger. "Oh my gosh I can't believe it. I'm actually meeting Star Swirl the Bearded. The one who created over 200 spells. I'm one of your biggest fans been so ever since my mentor recommended reading about you."

As soon as Twilight was, done saying all that she gave him a Pinkie Pie smile. Meanwhile, both royal siblings were slack-jawed at what just happened. They knew she was of fan of him. But most ponies in their time don't react like that in front of their idols like that. This was making both of them wonder how much the future is different from their time. And while Star Swirl was flattered, by the young mare, he was also in a state of panic, because of the little talk he had with Prince Solarium.

~~~ Back when Twilight and Luna were having their chat in the bed chambers. ~~~

Prince Solarium knocked on the door to Star Swirl's research facilities. Upon which Star Swirl said only "enter". Soon after Solarium walked in Star Swirl finally took notice on his guest. "Ah Prince Solarium, so nice of you to stop by. What can I do you for?"

"Star Swirl do you know anything about a small blue gem with a star embedded in the center of it? One of which could send somebody back in time and change their coloration's. Even there cutie Mark just so that on one would recognize that being in the future?"

At hearing this Star Swirl gave out a puzzled look. "Never in all my life have I heard of a gem like that before. I've done my fair share with time travel spells and relics. But the relics that I've dealt with our items that have gems in bedded in them. Not just of a simple gem with a little embedding in it. That's a new one for. Tell me why do you ask?"

Prince Solarium side before answering. "Around this afternoon there was a strange flash of light in the Everfree forest. I went to investigate and found a young Alicorn mare. We figured out that she is from the future as well as her coloration's and cutie Mark has changed. So that she doesn't affect the time space continuum and I was hoping you would know a way to send her back to her time."

Star Swirl was, baffled at hearing what his prince just said. "So you're telling me that an Alicorn mare, Which would mean that there are more Alicorn's then you your sister and parents. Had somehow by, said gem, went back in time, and her appearance got changed and neither of you have the said gem?"

"That basically sums it up for the most part."

At hearing this Star Swirl started rubbing his temples. "All right, is there anything else I need to know?"

Prince Solarium deeds of sheepish look before answering. "Even though I know she should go back to her time. I kind of sort of hoped she never goes back for some strange reason."

At hearing this Star Swirl chuckled. "It appears that you maybe falling in love with this mysterious Alicorn can't wait to meet her."

At hearing this Solarium froze. He began to ponder could he be falling in love with Twilight. He began thinking about if even he should even try to pursue her since she was not from his time. But then he thought that she behaved like she knew him somewhat and if the two ever did start dating or even got married. It would be fine. When she did go back to her time he could wait for her and they could just resume their relationship in her timeframe. He nodded his head. "I guess I am starting to fall for time traveling guest. By the way her name is Twilight and I found out she's a big fan of yours."

At hearing this Star Swirl paled. He'd remembered how Prince Solarium's father can be territorial with his wife. In fact, both of Prince Solarium's parents were territorial on their kids. That is until Princess Luna turned 21 years old. Even though the two parents were no longer as much territorial with their kids. King Artemis was still territorial on his wife, Queen Cosmos. Star Swirl had no doubt in his mind that Prince Solarium inherited. The territorial trait from his parents. Especially from his father. Star Swirl shuddered, remembering the last time he was out with those two. And the two decide to go in disguise pretending to be unicorns. It went all well for a while, until the drunken stallions started flirting with Queen Cosmos. That's when the horse shoes came off and King Artemis turned back to his true form and show them who was boss. And when Queen Cosmos was pregnant, the threats that the King made were scary on their own accord. He just knew that Prince Solarium was going to make a threat. That was either as bad as his father's or surpass the threats somehow. He was right,
Prince Solarium. First started out looking calm and cheerful "Star Swirl I've known you my whole life. Your like an uncle to me. So I'm going to try to say this the best way possible."

But just then, Prince Solarium change to a more dark and sinister appeal. "You better not get between me and Twilight or you're not going to like me for some time. The only exception will be trying to help her get back to her time if you can send her back to her time. I will not hold it against you. It seems she wants to go back to her timeframe. Even if she returns to her time I could just wait for her and we can continue on in her time. But other than helping her return to her time you do not get in my way is that clear?."

The only response Star Swirl could give was of frightening nod. Prince Solarium went back to normal. "Good oh look at the time. It's time for us to head to the dining hall for supper. Come on. I can't have one of my dearest friend starve. Now can I?"

~~~ And now we return to a Very Frightened Star Swirl... ~~~

The only thing Star Swirl could do was smile back at Twilight. "It's nice to meet you Twilight Prince Solarium told me a lot about you."

At hearing this Twilight began to blushed not because of Star Swirl talking to her. But the fact that Prince Solarium talked about her and based on how Star Swirl said it. It sounded like Prince Solarium talked about more than her predicament. Which caused her to have butterflies in her stomach for some strange reason. Twilight began to worry she couldn't be getting a crush on him. Could she? Even though Solarium is a stallion in the time. He becomes a mare in the future and even becomes like a second mother to her. Which made this awkward for her. But then she remembered that she did have a tiny crush on her old mentor once before when she was a lot younger, even though she didn't like to admit it. Which made Twilight wonder if deep down. She always knew that Celestia was in fact Solarium? If she had let her crush grow back then into love would Celestia reveal that she was in fact a stallion? Twilight didn't know what to think, but she decided to keep her feelings to herself until she got back to her time. It more than likely would be awkward if she dated Celestia's past self. And then returned to her time. Go to Celestia and tell her that she went back in time and called herself Twilight Shimmer. The relationship they have as friends now could become awkward, if she tried to pursue a relationship in the past. She was, brought out of her thoughts when Star Swirl began to speak some more. "As much as I would love to talked to you about spells and such. I need to focus on trying to get you back to your time. So you and I won't have much time speaking to each other. Even though I let Prince solarium help now and then or clover the clever. I prefer working alone, but I'm certain that the Royals siblings will take good care of you."

Twilight was a little upset that she would not get to spend as much time as she would've liked with her idol. But the fact that he was going to be too busy focusing on a spell. To send her back to her time was okay. Even though she would like to help with making the said spell as well. But she did understand about wanting to work alone when it came to sophisticated spells. Except for those she believes could handle it or trust with said spell. So Twilight nodded her head in acceptance. Just then, Prince Solarium cleared his throat. "Well, since we're all done with introductions why don't we go in the dining room and have supper now shell we?"

Soon they entered the dining room and soon after they began to eat. During all this Prince Solarium kept asking Twilight about her likes and dislikes. Trying to get to know her more. All the while Twilight felt a little awkward talking about herself. It kind of felt like gloating about herself and she didn't want to sound like Trixie. But yet she didn't want to make the same mistake she did around that time. No need for a Ursa Minor to run amok again. So she answered the questions as best as she could.

"So Twilight what do you like to do in your spare time?"

"I like either reading a good book learning a new spell doing some experiments or hang out with my friends."

"I see so what do you…"

Just then Luna cleared her throat and everyone look towards her. "As much as I would love to get to know Twilight more. It is getting rather late and more than likely the events up today have tired Ms. Twilight out quite a bit. So I believe it would be best to take her back to my chambers for the night."

Just as soon as Luna said this Solarium looked out the window. To see where the moon was, positioned and that at the moment to realize that his sister was right. "It appears that you are correct. I'm sorry Twilight you must be, tired from what has happened to you today and you should get some rest. Good night Luna good night Twilight good night Star Swirl."

As Solarium left the dining room Twilight realized how tired she was. So she said good night to Star Swirl and followed Luna back to the bed chambers. All the while Luna began pondering at just what happened in the dining room. She had never seen her brother behaved like that before. She tried to remember a time when he ever behaved like that couldn't think of anything. So she began thinking about other times she saw others behaving in such a manner. But the only time she ever saw something like that. Was when all those single mares try to get info out of her brother about himself, so they can use that to try to win his heart. Or Royal guards doing that to mares in hopes of have a better chance with them. In hopes of dating them or getting married to them. Just as soon as she thought of that she froze right in front of her door to her bed chambers. But caught herself, and opened the door to allow Twilight and herself in. As soon as she did she saw that the Castle staff brought in the spare bed for her guest which Twilight head towards. But Luna didn't care at the moment all she wanted to do was go confront her brother. At the moment and if her suspicions were true she had a lot of teasing to do but she couldn't leave Twilight alone. Without a good reason now could she just then she thought of something. "Twilight do you mind if I leave? I have some Royal duties to attend to with the night?"

At hearing this Twilight turned towards Luna before answering. "Of course not Luna. I completely understand. But before you go is there any books you recommend me reading? I like to do some light reading before going to sleep."

At hearing this Luna nodded and pointed to up bookshelf filled with books that she liked to read. Hoping that would keep Twilight occupied. "Of course Twilight that bookshelf over there. Should have more than enough books for you to read for the night."

Twilight looked at the bookshelf. But was not sure if that bookshelf was more than enough for one night of reading. But considering that she doubted Princess Luna ever met anyone who love reading as much as she did. So it would be safe to just to humor her for the time being so Twilight just smiled and looked towards Luna. "Thank you Luna and I hope that you have a great night."

At hearing this Luna gave her a kind, warm smile before responding. "Thank you Twilight good night."

~~~ Back in Twilight's Source Time... ~~~

Princess Luna had made it to Twilight's Castle some time ago, and was studying the blue gem as much as possible. In hopes on fighting a way to undo the gem's power on Twilight. But left out the information that Twilight went back in time. And was not in prison in the gem because she did not want to explain that Twilight could be dead. So she's been studying the gem for a whole week and was finally near her breaking point. And was about to go get Celestia. Just then she heard of voice. She did not wish the here at the moment. "Now Princess Luna what could you be doing in Twilight's Castle. Did your big mean Tantabus escape you again?"

The instant Luna heard that she began to groan. "No, Discord, I am trying to get Twilight back and this stupid gem is the whole reason why."

At hearing this Discord took a look at the gem. "That's interesting, I thought all rainbow matrix gems were all destroyed."

As soon as Luna heard this she turned immediately towards Discord, Before using the Royal Canterlot voice. "ARE YOU TELLING ME THAT YOU KNOW WHAT THIS GEM IS AND HOW IT WORKS!"

It took a moment for Discord to recoup from Luna's outburst before he could answer. "Yes I do know what that gem is. It was called a rainbow matrix gem centuries ago. They could be found everywhere, planets, stars, dimensions, you name it. You can find it. In fact, I once had a collection of them. But one day somebody, no one knows who, managed to steal everyone's rainbow matrix gems and destroy them. The only reason why we know they were, destroyed. Was because by the time we located where they were at the moment. We saw them being, disintegrated and no one could find out who did it. But that happened about 3000 years before I ever met you and Celestia."

At hearing this Luna just realized that she do not know how old Discord was. She always thought that he was around Celestia's age or something. Or maybe was older by a few years. But now she found out that he was at least 3000 years older than her and made her wonder what else Discord knew that she did not, However she decides to put that off to the side for now and focus on getting Twilight back. "Okay, can you please give me more information about rainbow matrix gems? This one has done something to Twilight and I would like to know more about it. In hopes to undo it."

"Why of course dear, Luna. Now the reason why I collected them. Was because under normal circumstances. You can never tell what one of these rainbow matrix gems could do. You couldn't tell by the coloration or the shape pattern. In fact, I once had a few that exact coloration and shape in my old collection. One was for mind reading. Another was for me to see into the future. One makes cake pop out of nowhere. Another one did cookie making they were just a bunch of little chaotic gems. But there could be similar abilities for each gem I had a red one with a heart that makes cake pop out of nowhere. Meanwhile, a blue one with a heart also brought cookies. So as I said, they were pretty much colorful gems of chaos. Although it would not bring forth evil monsters or weapon of mass destruction. There been times where beings accidentally died by some extent. But the gems never intend to do that."

At hearing this Luna felt a little worried about that. Since the fact that she remembered in her past that Twilight gets killed and was because she went back in time. So she decided to disclose the truth with Discord in hopes that he can help her undo the gem before it was too late. "Discord. I somewhat know what that gem did. But you have to promise not to tell anyone and help me fix this as soon as possible."

"I cross my heart and hope to fly. Stick cupcake in my eye I will help you the best I can, and keep this a secret to my ability now tell me what you know. "

Luna bit her lip before speaking. "You see Discord. I believe that this gem has sent Twilight back in time to about 200 years before you came into the picture. It changed her coloration's and cutie Mark. And because we thought that the reason why she looked different. Was because the gem didn't want to change the space time continuum. So she changed her name from Sparkle to Shimmer. I'm not going to give you all that happened during that timeframe. But something happened that killed Twilight. So I want to get this gem to bring her back without dying."

At hearing this Discord froze. He had a deep suspicion what type of rainbow matrix gem they were dealing with. But he had to do something to be certain. "I only know about five different types of rainbow matrix gems that could do that. But for me to be certain I'll have to go back to my house and grab my rainbow matrix analyzing kit in order to be certain."

At hearing this Luna gave him a puzzled look. "You have a kit that can tell you what this rainbow matrix gem can do and how to undo it. And you have to go back home and get it and not just snap your fingers and summon it?"

At hearing this Discord blushed. "Well, you see the kit is not fond of my chaos magic. And I can't remember if I have the kit in its protection case or not. Sure it can handle the area I live in. But if I try to use my magic on it then it can break and no one makes it anymore so I can't risk it. So I have to first find it and find the case before I can just teleport back here with myself. And that could take awhile. And if I recall, it's in my attic and I have no idea where it is in the attic. A lot of stuff in there and with the fact that I should not use any of my magic when looking for it. It's going to take me a while."

"Does this analyzing kit hate all magic or just your magic?"

"Just my magic, your magic should be fine. Why?"

"Then take me with you with my magic I could just levitate each item in front of you. And you could tell me whether it is the case or the analyzing kit. Just let me. Send a letter to my sister explaining what's going on and we can go. "

Discord nodded his head and Luna wrote a letter. Explaining everything that Discord had just told her and where she'll be for the time being. Then sent it to Celestia in a puff of smoke. "All right, I'm ready."

"All right, let's get going." The two told Spike where they were going. And that as soon as they find the kit they would take both the gem and the kit to Canterlot Castle. So that Celestia Luna and Discord could work on this problem together. As soon as they were, done explaining what was going on. Discord snapped his fingers and teleported him and Luna. To his house where they would search for the kit.

~~~ End of Chapter 3 ~~~

Chapter 4

~~~ Last time: ~~~

As soon as Luna heard this she turned immediately towards Discord, Before using the Royal Canterlot voice. "ARE YOU TELLING ME THAT YOU KNOW WHAT THIS GEM IS AND HOW IT WORKS!"

~~~ And now back to the time Twilight is in... ~~~

Meanwhile, Luna finally made it to Solarium's bed chambers. Knocked on his door until she heard her brother speak. "Who is it?"

"It's Luna, can I come in and talk to you for a bit?"

"Certainly Luna come in."

Luna opened the doors to her brother's bed chambers. To see lots of parchments crumpled up and lying on the floor. Her brother had a new one levitated in front of him with a quill writing down something. Before he crumpled up the parchment and threw it away as well. "No, that won't do either I need to think of something else."

At hearing this Luna took one of the crumpled sheets of parchment straightened it. And took a good look at it, only to find it was a discarded list of ideas to either get to know Twilight or to win her heart. Seeing this alone proved to her. On her brother's reaction during supper and gave to her fond teaser rights, right there. This caused her to form a devious smile. "So my big and strong regal brother has feelings for the new Alicorn? Wait until the next time we see mother and father, I am certain they would love to meet her."

At hearing this Solarium froze in fear. Took a deep gulp before slowly turning to his little sister. Only to see that Luna was giving him a mischievous grin that he normally only saw when she was up to no good, while levitating one of his crumpled up parchment in her magical grip. Seeing this he knew he couldn't keep it a secret from her and can only hope that he can convince her to keep her mouth shut around Twilight. "Luna, please do not tell our parents or Twilight. In fact, don't tell anyone for that matter. I want to first win her heart before I let anyone else know about my feelings towards her besides, if Mother knew, she would try to pressure her into it and father would end up helping her as well. I want to earn her love myself without their help, so please can you keep this between us?"

Luna thought about it for she knows that if she were to tell everybody about her brother feelings. He would be, devastated for a while and if Twilight was not interested in her brother. She would probably do her best to try to avoid Solarium. But if she quiet about it, she would be able to tease her brother in private, at least until this information was known to the public, and if by keeping quiet maybe Twilight would eventually start dating her brother. Or even married Solarium and that would be a big win for Luna. Since she likes Twilight already and one wrong move. Maybe her brother could bring her closer to Twilight, so she smiled at her brother. "Of course I'll keep it a secret Solarium. In fact, I'll even help you but don't expect me not to tease you now and then about this."

At hearing this Solarium sighed in relief. He was fine with his sister teasing him and making fun of him. But he did not want to lose his chances on winning Twilight's heart. "Thank you Luna, you do not know how much you mean to me. Hearing you say that."

"My pleasure, but I got know what are you going to do when Star Swirl figures out how to send her back to her time, and if you two are in a deep relationship or even get married how that would work?"

"I thought about that. And as I'm planning on telling Twilight that when it is time for her to go back to her time. Whether we are dating or even married. I'll wait for her and that we will resume where we left off when she tells my future self about that gem brought her here."

At hearing this Luna remembered a talk she had with there mother a long time ago...

"Mom, father told me that you were the first and only pony he ever went out with. How did you two know that you two were soulmates?"

Queen Cosmos whitish yellowish Alicorn. With an orange and purple mane and tail with a galaxy cutie Mark. Held little Luna and produced a smile. A warm, kind smile before answering. "Well, you see Luna unlike female Alicorn's. Stallion Alicorn's can sense their true love when they first meet the mare of their dreams. You know the saying love at first sight. Well, that saying is true. At least for the stallion populations of Alicorn's. But their sense of their true love can be sometimes blocked if they believe that their true love is dead. For instance, if they believed that there love is dead. Then the mare in question could be in a disguise and he won't suspect a thing. Even if she is right in front of him. This is because the grief will can become overwhelming. But if they believe that their true love is alive and meets that soulmate at least once. Then the male will be able to locate his true love anywhere in the world. Especially if said love is in danger."

Luna thought about what her mother said for a moment. But she wondered about something, that her mother said. "But mother how can a stallion no longer feel his true loves presence. If he could tell where his true love is all the time until she does die. What he does believe she's dead, but she's alive, and she needs him to find her?"

"Well, Luna. There have been times when an enemy has sent a stallion love to a different time, location or even another world, and just tells the Alicorn that he's has killed the Alicorn's wife. This does work a lot of times, but there is a way to get around it. If the mare states her truelove's name even just once he will hear her voice calling to him. Which will renew his belief of her being alive and he will be able to find her."

"Mother are you just pulling my leg. And don't really want to tell me the real reason how you two really knew that you two were, meant for each other?"

At hearing this her mother began to chuckle. "No sweetheart I'm telling the truth. In fact, some day your big brother will go through the same exact thing your father did. All those years ago when he finds the one."

"Really?"

"Oh, most definitely."

As soon as Luna was, done remembering this she looked towards her brother. "Dear brother. Did mother or father. Ever tell you about stallion Alicorn's soulmate sensor or something like that?"

"Yes, indeed Luna father did to be precise. Why do you ask?"

"Really Solarium think about it. Realy carefully."

"...! Oh no."

"Oh yes."

"Oh, you've got to be kidding me Twilight's my soulmate. This is embarrassing and awkward."

At hearing this Luna chuckled. "If you think this is embarrassing now. Just think how embarrassing it will be when our parents come to visit and they find out! If you are anything like father. Your feelings for Twilight will stick out like a timber wolf in a chicken coop. At least for mother but you might get lucky and keep it secret from father. But there is no way in Tartarus you would be able to keep it a secret from both of them. So my advice is win Twilight's heart before they come to visit. Which means the sooner the better because you know our parents love to come and visit at random."

Add hearing this Solarium's, eyes widen like dinner plates. Realizing that his sister was right and groaned at the thought. "Great, just great. How am I supposed to win her heart? I don't know much about her, but she knows me as if she read a book about me. There is also the fact she wants to go home and more likely is not looking for a relationship at the moment. I don't even know where to start to win her heart."

Luna thought about this for a moment before answering. "Well think about this. She is from the future and pretty much everything in her time is completely different from our time. At least most likely, so if you took her around Everfree city, and let her pick out the places she wants to go. You could probably learn all about her likes and dislikes, and by doing so, Not only will you be able to learn more about her so you can make future plans to win her over, but you can also show your true self around her as well while doing some little things that are romantic. She will likely just think you're being kind. But she'll think of it as romantic and start falling for you. So do some little things like buy one flower not a rose nor a daisy, maybe a lily. Maybe by her something sweet to eat take her to a restaurant and buy her lunch. Maybe even buy her something that really catches her eye. Stuff like that, just don't buy her a big bouquet no big fancy restaurant just a nice casual one will do. And don't buy her every single thing that catches her eye. Just get her the one that she seems really excited about when she looks at it. Okay?"

Solarium thought about this for a moment before nodding his head in response. "Yes, I think I'll follow your suggestion. About showing her around Everfree city is a splendid idea. Thank you Luna and I hope you don't mind but I would like to get some rest before tomorrow."

"That's no trouble at all dear brother. I'll see you tomorrow morning. Good night."

With that Luna started heading back to her bed chambers. To check on Twilight to see how she was doing once she reached her chambers. She opened her door, assuming that Twilight was asleep. But to her surprise Twilight was still awake reading the very last book on Luna's bookshelf. Seeing this Luna's mouth agape, her eyes widen she could not believe. That someone could read all those books on her bookshelf that held 350 books in about three hours. Especially since each one of those books were very thick. Not even Star Swirl read as much as this young Alicorn did. Just then Twilight notice Luna and knew that Luna was, shocked at how many books she could read in such a short time. So she gave her a cheerful smile. "Oh hey Luna your books were very fascinating. I couldn't put them down, but I'm extremely tired now, though so I think I'll be going to sleep now. Good night Luna."

Luna took that moment to compose herself. But all the while was thinking in her head that if Twilight can read that many books that fast and enjoys reading. Was beginning to wonder what her brother was getting himself into. "Right, well I bid you good night Twilight."

With that Luna turned off the lights and Twilight went to sleep. While Luna went about with her Royal duties as the Princess of the night.

~~~ End of Chapter 4 ~~~

Chapter 5

~~~ Last Time ~~~

Luna was thinking in her head that if Twilight can read that many books that fast and enjoys reading. Was beginning to wonder what her brother was getting himself into. "Right, well I bid you good night Twilight."

With that Luna turned off the lights and Twilight went to sleep. While Luna went about with her Royal duties as the Princess of the night.

~~~ Now on to the next morning... ~~~

Solarium, Luna and Twilight were all sitting in the dining room eating breakfast together. Near end of breakfast Solarium cleared his throat. "Twilight, it has come to my attention that it is highly likely our culture and such is very different from your time frame. So I was thinking, why don't I show you around Everfree city. I'm sure you will find shops and restaurants that aren't around anymore in your time. It will also be a good idea to let you know your way around the city. In case you ever feel like going around the city at any point in time."

(There are definitely none of the shops or restaurants that are in this time.) Twilight Thought, (In my timeframe there is no Everfree city since the city got destroyed in the whole Nightmare Moon incident. But I can't tell them that! If I do then I might not exist.) At this Twilight chuckled a little nervously before answering. "That is awfully nice of you, but I don't what I want to take up your time, don't you have day court to attend to?"

Add hearing this Solarium thought that Twilight was trying to avoid him He considered if she had something else to do. But he was not going to give up so he was, just going tell her the truth about why he was not doing work today. "Oh I only do day court at Canterlot Castle in Canterlot city. When our parents are traveling for a diplomatic meeting or something."

At hearing this Twilight spitted out her glass of water she was drinking and began to have a coughing fit. Both Solarium and Luna gave her a worried look. Eventually Twilight was able to clear her throat. "Your parents are here in Equestria. I'm sorry but even though you in your sister still have your title and never became king or queen. I just never met your parents. In fact, no one has seen your parents for quite some time and neither you nor Luna never tell us where they are. We don't know if they are out trying to protect our world from some great evil, or just on a really long vacation. No one in my time really knows who they really are. Hearing that your parents are around is kind of shock for me. In fact, I don't even know what they look like."

At hearing this Solarium and Luna gave each other a look. Remembering that their parents were planning on taking a very long vacation. At some point and kept telling them that when they do go on vacation, Neither Solarium, nor Luna could tell there subjects where they are. In fact, they wouldn't be even able to tell. Because their parents were planning on going incognito during their whole vacation time. Furthermore, they would only be able to be reached by fire scrolls, but that was not going to happen for some time. So they looked back towards Twilight and Solarium answered her question. "I am going to take a wild guess and just going to say that more than likely the two went on a very long needed vacation. And they just don't want anyone to know about them, and had my sister and I swore to secrecy. You'll probably will meet them some point in this time frame and again much later in your time. So don't worry so much about it for now. Other than that are you interested in exploring Everfree city?"

Twilight thought about what Solarium just said about his parents and then, back on the topic of exploring the city. She decided that, since she'll be back in her own time at some point or another, it could be very educational to learn more about the culture of old Equestria. Long before Luna became Nightmare Moon. "You know what exploring the city seems like a very nice idea. I'll be delighted if you could show me around the city."

Solarium smiled at hearing this. "All right, if you're ready now we can go right now do you want."

Twilight nodded her head in agreement and the two started heading off to the city, while Luna was off to do her own things. Truth be, told she didn't have really any Royal night duties. Except raising and lowering the moon and stars. At night when her parents are in charge of the kingdom. The only time when she really needs worry about night duties. Is when her parents are on a diplomatic meeting or such. So sometimes she'll stay up during the day and go to sleep at night just so then she could have some company. Just then she remembered up about what happened last night with Twilight and her books. "I should have warned my brother about the fact that Twilight is of book fanatic... Nah hill figure it out on his own. Although, I might want to grab some really thick books from the library in case she decides to read at night again."

At hearing this Solarium decided that if. Stars Swirl did not even start attempting to write that spell, 20 years before his age spell wears off. He would bring it up, but until then he was keeping his mouth shut. But at the here and now he had an objective and that was to win Twilight over one step at a time. "So Twilight any particular thing you want to look at?"

At hearing this Twilight thought about it, but only for a few seconds, before knowing what she wanted to do right away. "Are there any good bookstores nearby?"

At hearing this Solarium began to think that she was into the whole romance novel things that most mares are into. "Yes we do. In fact, we have this second biggest bookstore in all of Equestria here."

At hearing this Twilight beamed instantly forgot about the ponies are around them. "Really, that's amazing I didn't even know that."

Seeing Twilight like this Solarium heart started to the all light and warm inside. He liked seeing Twilight like this and wanted to see her like this all the time. So he gave her a gentle smile and nodded his head. For a moment Twilight realized that the smile that Solarium is giving her. Is the same type of smile Celestia would give to her all the time. This made Twilight very happy to see something familiar. She beamed even more when Solarium nodded at her. "Is it alright that we can go to that bookstore you mentioned?"

"Sure I do not see why not."

At hearing this Twilight was, thrilled which showed and Solarium loved it. The two reached the book store's door called Ever Free Books. Just as soon as the two walked in Twilight eyes began to twinkle like stars. She started going from book to book looking at them all the while Solarium watched in bafflement. This was due to the fact that she did not even once go by the romance section instead. She went to the thick educational magical theory books and spells. Twilight kept on looking at the books while Solarium just kept on watching her. Soon joined by the store owner who was, amazed to see a pony. This fascinated into books, neither one saw it anything like this before. This went on until around noon. "Twilight it lunchtime, so why don't we go find someplace to eat."

At hearing this Twilight froze in shock. Then began to chuckle a little sheepishly. "I thought book crazy again didn't I?"

"I wouldn't know this is the first time I ever seen it. But yes, I'm going to have to say yes. So shall we get going?"

Twilight looked around the store once more and then used her magic the place every single book where they belong, once she did this she nodded her head in response to Solarium's question. And started heading towards the door. Seeing this Solarium was not pleased seeing her so sad. And wanted I've offered to buy her a book or two. But that is sinking feeling that if he did. Twilight would have picked out one of every single book in the store and Luna said only do little things. And buying one of every book in a store was not a little thing. It would have been a big hint to Twilight about his feelings for her and he was not ready for her to know yet. So the two walked to a small quaint little restaurant and order their meals. While waiting for their order to come in Solarium thought it was a good idea, but try to cheer Twilight up. "So I know that you said you like reading a good book. But the way you act there was at the bookstore I would say you love to read."

"Oh yes. In fact that I did some light reading last night before going to bed. All Luna's books on her bookshelf, were very fascinating."

At hearing this Solarium was, shocked. He knew how many books was on his sister's bookshelf and to find out that. His supposed soul mate was that much into books was quite a shock. He always loved learning new topics and talk about them when someone he considered smart was around, which she could tell Twilight is that type of mare. "I see."

The two continued on talking for a while on even when their meals came and they were eating their meals. Eventually the waiter came back and asked if they were, interested in a desert. Solarium thought this was a good chance to make up for not buying Twilight anything at the bookstore. "Sure, what do you have?"

"For options we have many varieties of pies, tarts and our Chef is trying something new called a cake."

At hearing this, but waiter got two different reactions for Solarium. He was, confused on what a cake was. But for Twilight she knew instantly what a cake was and decided that she was in the mood for one. "What flavor of cake are you severing?"

"Chocolate my lady."

"Oh, that sounds delicious can I have a slice of chocolate cake?"

"Certainly, and for you Prince?"

"I'm sorry but what is at cake?"

At hearing this Twilight gasped. She did not care if she sounded like Pinkie Pie at the moment. Mare or stallion Celestia, not knowing what a cake is, was just too weird on itself. "You never had cake before, not even on your birthday you guys even to birthday parties?"

At hearing this Solarium was, puzzled at what Twilight said. "Yes we do celebrate one's birthday. But normally we have a pie or tart or something like that."

I'm sorry at hearing this Twilight just stared at him. "I'm sorry but where I'm from when you celebrate somebody's birthday. You always have a birthday cake. This is a cake that can be whatever flavor that is chosen for that party with lit little candles on it. The amount of candles I one's cake varies by how old that pony is. Some ponies preferred getting one big candle that does have the number of the age that they are turning. Anyways all the ponies except for whose birthday it is things sings a song. Then the birthday pony will make a wish and blow out the candles. The candles get removed from the cake and then it gets cut up and everybody eats it a lot of times with ice cream. Cakes come in all shapes and sizes and different flavors including the icing and there is to type the cake. A regular cake where you have to cut it up in order to serve it and you eat it with a fork. And the cupcakes little round cakes that are up about the size of a small cookie, and each pony eats a cupcake."

At hearing this Solarium was, puzzled to know that something he never heard of. Was something very important in Twilight time, and decided that I have might be best to give this cake a try. "I'll have what she's having."

The waiter nodded his head and went to get two slices of cake. He soon returned and placed the two cakes in front of the two Alicorn's. The chocolate cake was mostly covered with white frosting with blue frosting for trimming. Twilight levitated her fork and began to eat her cake she let out a moan of pleasure with a smile upon her face. Her eyes were, closed the cake was very delicious. Sure it wasn't as good as one of Pinkie Pie cake's. But it was still a very delicious cake. Solarium watched Twilight eat her cake for a bit, before he levitated his fork and took a small piece of his cake once it reached his mouth and he began to chew it. He was, overwhelmed with the taste and flavor and quite enjoyed it, and started taking more of his cake. Twilight didn't know this very moment was when cake became very popular in Equestria and was, served at birthday parties. As well as the day Celestia or should we say Solarium became addicted to cake. "So Solarium how's the cake?"

"It's the most delicious thing I ever had. Sure I like a good pie, tarts or cookies and such, but of all the sweets... I'm going to have to say cake is my favorite."

Some of the nobles heard Solarium say that. So they began ordering cake as well. This caused a chain reaction. After the two Alicorn's were done eating cake. The two decided to walk around the city and look around.

~~~ End of Chapter 5 ~~~

Chapter 6

~~~ Last Time ~~~

"It's the most delicious thing I ever had. Sure I like a good pie, tarts or cookies and such, but of all the sweets... I'm going to have to say cake is my favorite."

~~~ And now we return... ~~~

At some point they made it to a park where a mare was selling flowers. Solarium remembered what Luna had told him about flowers. So he went up to go sales pony and bought a White Lily and gave it to Twilight. Which she took with of smile, but the flower itself caused her to think about a lot of things. (Solarium, buying me the flour was so sweet. Wait what this feeling in my chest. I've only felt this way, with Flash Sentry and yet it feels different. As if it more right like Flash was just a silly crush and this is the real deal. Oh no, I thought I decided not to think about this until I returned to my own time. What will I do if should I fall for him. I can't stay in the time frame because I know for a fact that there is not two of me in my time, when am I going to do!?)

"Thank you Solarium. It's very lovely."

Seeing Twilight smiled again made Solarium all warm inside once more. "You're welcome."

Just then he realized it was time for him to lower, the sun, so his sister can raise the moon. "I'm sorry but even though I don't have court duties. I still have to raise and lower the sun. And it's time for me to do so. Do you mind if we find a secluded area for me to do so?"

"Not all. In fact, I've seen you raise and lower the sun. Numerous times though it's fine by me."

The two continued to walk in the park until they found a spot where no one was nearby so Solarium began to lower the sun. Soon afterwards the moon began to rise. Just then Solarium decide to look towards Twilight. Only to see that she was breathtaking at that moment the light of the moon gave her a unique glow. That made her look radiant while fireflies began to dance around Twilight. Just seeing her like this, and made him want to kiss her, but he restrained himself from doing so. "We should start heading back to the Castle."

Twilight turned towards them, which made them even more tempted to kiss her, since her eyes looked like shimmering stars at that moment. "Okay, but you're going to have to lead the way, since I don't know the park as well as you do."

"Right this way."

Solarium took the long way out of the park and they eventually. They made it back to the Castle where Luna was waiting for them at the entrance. "Greetings, you two how was your day?"

"It was pleasant, although I think I got your brother addicted to cake?" Twilight replied.

Add hearing this Luna gave out a puzzled look. "Solarium you haven't had cake before until today, it only started being made a month ago. One of the Castle staff offered it to us. Even though in your defense we were in Canterlot filling in for our parents and you were busy at the time."

At hearing this Solarium blushed. "Well, I like cake. Now anyways. It's time for supper so we should start heading to the dining Hall, shall we?"

Luna and Twilight nodded their heads and everyone made it to the dining Hall and ate their supper. Soon after everyone parted their ways and headed back to their chambers. As soon as Twilight and Luna made it to bears Luna told the door. As quick as she could and turned towards Twilight. "Okay spill how was your day?"

"Well, we first went to the bookstore then we went to a small café where. Solarium tried his first cake then we walked around eventually made it to the Park. He bought me Lily. Then he lowered the sun you lowered the moment we walked back and that was it."

Luna froze. She was wondering if Twilight was a very oblivious mare when it came to romance. Or if she was just pretending that what happened today with nothing special. But she was not gonna give up without a fight. "So nothing in particular happened today nothing special?"

At hearing this Twilight sighed. "Look, I don't really want to talk about it okay. The more I think about the date the more my feeling get more jumbled up. I'm still trying to get used to the fact that Princess Celestia, is really Prince Solarium. In my time I see Celestia completely differently than I do with Solarium, and yet I still regard the two with the same because there still so many similarities between the two. In the end it's just confusing. I was thinking about just keeping these thoughts to myself until I get back to my time so can you please just drop it."

At hearing this Luna understood completely what Twilight meant and decided to drop the topic for now, so she nodded her head in defeat. "Good look. It's been a long day. So I'm going to bed. Good night Luna."

"Good night Twilight."

As soon as Twilight fell asleep. Luna left their shared chambers to head to her brother's. When she reached Solarium's chambers she knocked on the door and Solarium opened it for her. "Good evening dear sister. Please come in."

"Thank you."

Luna walked in and Solarium close the door. Soon after Luna turn to her brother. "Your gestures are doing the trick brother. But yet Twilight is, determined to keep her feelings to herself until she returns to her time. Unless you want to wait for your first real date as each others special some pony's to be in her time, you're going to have to do something big win her over."

Solarium sighed at hearing this. "That bad huh? Well I've thought of something that might change her mind."

At hearing this Luna's Ears perked up. "Really, what are you up to?"

Solarium chuckled. "I'm sorry dear sister. But I wanted to be a surprise, and I do not need you to accidentally tell her. All I will say is it's going to take me a few months to make it and don't worry, it's not a love potion."

At hearing this Luna giggled. "Oh, how sweet my big brother is making something! I can't wait to see what you make." In a sing song voice.

Solarium just rolled his eyes. "Okay, you had your fun now off you go. I have to start working on that project of mine."

At hearing this Luna chuckled. "Alright see you in the morning dear brother."

~~~

This went on for months. Solarium trying the win Twilight's heart. Which a lot of times had Solarium buying books that he thought Twilight would like. Luna trying to help out in anyone in anyway she can. Meanwhile, Star Swirl was trying to figure out the best way to send Twilight back home to her time. All the while Twilight feelings and emotions towards Solarium kept getting more and more confusing for her and she didn't know what to do about said feelings. Eventually Hearth's Warming was drawing near. In fact, there was only a week left and Luna was back in her brother's bed chambers. Discussing something of great opportunity to him. At least what is great opportunity for Solarium that is…

"I hate to say this Solarium, but you're going to have to tell mom and dad about Twilight, if you don't and they figure it out on their own, they are going to do something that all of you are going to regret. Besides, you can't just leave Twilight. All alone on Hearth's Warming. She hasn't made any real friends in this timeframe since she got here. And let me tell you she has tried but it just not working out. Besides Hearth's Warming can be very romantic. If you play your cards right, so you have to bring her with. So my suggestion is you go over to Canterlot Castle tell mom and dad the situation. Then make him promise that they won't 'butt in'."

Add hearing this Solarium sighed. Even though he tried to win Twilight's heart before she ever meet his parents. He knew that Luna was right, and time was just not on his side at the moment. So it was best to let them know now, then giving them a surprise of their lives. This would also prevent their parents embarrassing him by trying to play matchmaker. "You're right. In fact, I'll leave right now. Father's more than likely awake and can help wake up mom when I get there. If I'm not back in the morning tell Twilight that I had to do some errands today are something."

"All right, I will dear brother and I bid you good night."

And with that Solarium used a teleportation spell and teleported to their parents Castle. In fact, he teleported in the throne room right in front of his father, King Artemis. He was of bit taller than Solarium with of purple-ish black coat that made him darker than Luna's. His mane and tail was the night sky with light purple eyes. His father. Upon seeing him, smiled and said "Ah Solarium what a pleasant surprise. Did you come here to ask for suggestions on Hearth's Warming presents for your mother?"

"Not quite father, I need to speak with both you and mother its kind of important."

At hearing this, Artemis frowned, thinking that the kingdom was in danger or something. "Very well, your mother's, and our bed chambers. Follow me."

Solarium nodded his head and followed his father to his parents Private bed chambers where Artemis knocked on the door. "Cosmos sweetie. You need to wake-up, our son came to visit and he needs to speak to both of us. "

As soon as Artemis said that the door opened and the two walked in to see Cosmos laying on the bed. "Solarium. It's such a pleasure to see what you told my little colt doing?"

"I'm doing fine mother, but there's something I need to tell you and father about."

"What is it, my son?"

Solarium took a deep breath, and let it out slowly before he began to explain. "You see some time ago. A Alicorn mare from the future fell into our time by some sort of magical gem that we can't find. It also changed her coloration's and even her cutie Mark. Star Swirl is trying to figure out a way to send her back to her time, and she's been staying with me and Luna. But that's not the whole reason why I came here."

Solarium stopped at this point to let his parents soak in what he'd just said. All the while his parents looked at each other shocked that something like this could happen without them knowing. But then turned back to their son. Cosmos was the first to speak. "Go on."

"Anyways, the reason why I am here is to tell you that I've fallen it in love with her. Pretty much right at the moment when I first laid eyes on her. I'm trying to win her heart and Luna's helping me to some extent by getting her to talk about me. But her feelings are very confused at the moment and the fact she is from the future. She's not all that sure she really wants to even go out with me so she is trying to hold back her feelings around me."

At hearing this Cosmos and Artemis being with happiness Cosmos was the first one to speak. "Oh my little boy is all grown up you found his Alicorn soulmate, what's her name what she like? I can't wait to meet her."

"That's my boy and don't worry, your mother and I will help you anyway we can to help you win her heart over. Now what should we try first?"

At hearing this Solarium gave a pained look. "This is why I came here today. To ask you to not to try to do anything that would make her feel pressured. To go out with me or any of that. She is very confused and if we are going to become a couple. We need to do this on our own terms not you to pestering in."

At hearing this Cosmos and Artemis stopped what they were doing, and looked at their son. Thinking about what he had just told them. They also thought about it in both Solarium's shoes and the mare in question. Realizing that if either one of them tried anything to help out. It would more likely do more harm than good. Artemis was the first to speak on this matter. "I understand what you're saying Solarium. If it is all right your mother and I will try to stay out of this. But please at least give us her name? So that we can write her name on her Hearth's Warming present one week get it for her."

"Well, because of her coloration change we'd decided that she should not give us her full name. So only her first part of her name is her real name. The second part she made up for us to go by so her name is Twilight Shimmer Twilight for short."

At hearing this Cosmos smiled. "Twilight, that's a beautiful name I can't wait to meet her."

At hearing this Solarium nodded his head. "Thank you mother and to you as well father. Now I must be going. No one really knows that I came here except for Luna and I still need to finish the final touches on Twilight's present."

At hearing this Solarium's parents perked up. "So you're making a present for her. What might that be?"

"All I am going to say is. Do you remember that one you taught me when I got really frustrated back when I was 10 years old. I'm using that spell to make her something she really would like."

At hearing this Artemis and Cosmos knew what he was talking up about. But didn't want to press any farther on the matter, and had a good idea what to get Twilight for Hearth's Warming. Though the two nodded their heads and the three at each other, before Solarium teleported back to his room in the Everfree Castle.

The night before Solarium went to work on the present for Twilight. He'd bought all the other presidents for his family and his friend. But for Twilight he was still working on the gift he mentioned to Luna on the day he first tried cake. He was almost done he just needed the place the finishing touches on the gift anyways. Soon he was, done with the gift wrapped it up and placed it with the other presents and went to bed.

Author's Note

This picture or I just googled up. It's the best picture I can find that goes with my description to some extent, not entirely what I was aiming for, but it fine hope you like it

Chapter 7 part 1

~~~ Last Time ~~~

The night before Solarium went to work on the present for Twilight. He'd bought all the other presents for his family and his friends. But for Twilight he was still working on the gift he had mentioned to Luna. He was almost done, he just needed to put the finishing touches on the gift. Soon he was done with the gift, had wrapped it up, and placed it with the other presents, then he went to bed.

~~~ The Next Day... ~~~

Luna, Solarium and Twilight were eating their breakfast, but soon one of the Castle staff approached Prince Solarium. "Your Majesty there is a crowd of mares at the front gate that wish to present you with Hearth's Warming presents. They are all refusing to go until they give them to you personally... Unlike the stallion's who brought gifts for Luna... They just gave them to the guards and left."

At hearing this Solarium, gave an annoyed expression. Sure, this didn't bother him before. But that was before he met Twilight and knew that she was the one. Because he knew that these gifts were meant to win him over. While Luna was thinking it was only one or two stallions who came and dropped off presents like last year. So she just let it slide. Besides, her brother normally shared the edible presents. At least after the guards made sure that none of them were poisonous or had love potion or any form of incantation.

Solarium was about to excuse himself from the table to go meet the mare's. He first looked towards Twilight, only to be shocked at what he saw. Then Luna, upon seeing Solarium’s shocked expression, looked towards Twilight to see what was causing it. Only to see that Twilight did not look all that pleased at hearing that mares were hitting on Solarium. In fact, at hearing this, she was absolutely livid. ‘She admitted it to herself.' Luna thought 'But she won't admit it to others that she has a major crush on Solarium...'

Twilight didn't know when or how, but Solarium’s small gestures during these past few months had caused the crush she had on Celestia to resurface. But this time the feelings felt stronger for some reason. She also knew that Solarium has mutual feelings towards her. But Twilight was not willing to admit her feelings out loud. Not even Luna could get her to spill her feelings towards Solarium at the moment. She especially did not want Solarium to know about her feelings towards him. Besides, she didn’t even belong in this timeframe, and needed to go back to her time. She could worry about her feelings towards her former mentor when she got back home. However, all this did not mean that she was able to keep it together when other mares tried to go and win Solarium over.

All the while, the two royal siblings were having different thoughts on Twilight's behavior. Solarium was, worried that something happened that upset Twilight and whether or not he did something wrong to cause her behavior. Meanwhile, Luna understood completely, Twilight was getting jealous. This also meant that Solarium's little gestures were winning her over. Which meant the two could end up being together sometime soon. Just then, the same staff member that spoke to Solarium before cleared his throat. "Your Majesty, it is probably a good idea to go and receive those present as soon as possible... Before the mare's start a riot at the front gate."

At hearing this Solarium turned back to the staff member that brought this up, and nodded his head. "You're right, I'll be heading there now. Forgive me, Luna, Twilight, but the sooner I take care of this, the better."

Solarium look back towards Twilight, only to see that she looked even more mad than she did a few seconds ago. This made him even more worried about her. However, before he could ask what was wrong Luna spoke. "Oh, don't worry about us dear brother, you go and take care of it. This happens every year with those same hundreds of single mares. Twilight and I'll do some girl bonding… or... or something. Now go, you don't want to keep them waiting do you?"

At hearing Luna’s speech Twilight got even angrier. Angry enough that the glass of water that she was levitating was boiling. Of further concern, tips of her mane and tail looked like they were going to burst into flames which made Solarium even more worried, Twilight’s response even started to make Luna a little bit worried. Because she just realized that even though. Twilight told her that her special talent was magic itself. She was starting to think that Twilight might just be a little bit more closely bonded to fire magic than the other elemental magics. Which Luna considered a bit ironic seeing as Solarium was bonded with solar magic… Which was a type of fire magic. It was interesting to know that the two had something in common. But at the same time she was, worried that, Twilight might set the mares on fire or something. Solarium didn't want leave Twilight like this. So he stood up and walked towards her, once he was next to her he sat down and gave her a wing hug. This caused Twilight to freeze on the spot, she even forgot to levitate the glass and Solarium had to get it before it crashed down onto the table. They stayed like this for a while, and during this time Twilight's mind was racing. She was thinking about how Solarium's hugs were a lot like Celestia's hugs back when she was a filly and even a full grown mare: Warm, safe, secure, loving, but yet it felt a little different as well. She couldn't place it. But something about Solarium hugs felt somewhat different in comparison to Celestia hugs, even though they were one and the same. During all this Twilight was calming down from her jealous rage and without even realizing it, began to lean into the hug. Solarium was relieved to see that Twilight was calming down, but when she began to lean towards him, his heart began to flutter. He liked the position that they were in and wished he had done something like this sooner and hoped that he could do this more often in the future. Luna, seeing this, was relieved not only because Twilight was calming down, but also due to the obvious signs that the two were falling for each other even more so than they were just a few moments ago. She couldn’t help but hear wedding bells in their near future. Twilight herself wished that they could stay like this for a very long time. But realized that Solarium had to go deal with those mares. "Um Solarium, don't you have royal duties to take care of?"

At hearing this Solarium was yet again reminded of what he needed to do. So, he nodded his head, separated himself from the mare next to him, and left.

~~~

Luna was not all that happy with the fact. That the touching moment had to end, and so soon in her opinion. But then she thought it was the perfect opportunity to see if she could get Twilight to admit her feelings towards her brother. So Luna cleared her throat. "Well, was it my imagination. Or were you getting jealous at those mare's for stealing my brother's attention?"

At hearing this Twilight, no longer looking towards the door, turned her head towards Luna and stammered, "What know not at all, I was, frustrated about…"

At that moment, Twilight had to think of an excuse before Luna could dig any deeper on the matter. Because even though Twilight hated to admit it, Luna was very good at getting info out of her. Just then she remembered that even though she already made Luna a Hearth's Warming present. She had no idea what to get Solarium or their parents or even Star Swirl for that matter. So she decided to bring that up, it didn’t hurt either that it would be a win-win: one, it would get Luna off her case on her feelings towards Solarium; two, it would help her find good presents for the four of them. "You see I already got your Hearth's Warming present taking care of. But I haven't come up with a single idea on what to get Starswirl, your parents, or even Solarium. Solarium even more so because you remember what I told you about the Solarium of my time. So what I would normally give him in my time wouldn't work in this time. So I'm completely lost on the matter, and hearing the fact that ponies are giving you and Solarium presents a whole week early, made even more frustrated."

Luna was at a loss for words since she couldn't tell whether Twilight was telling the truth or not. Even if it was the truth, she may be using it on as a cover. So she decided she would let go of the topic about Twilight and Solarium’s love life... For now at least and focus more at what Twilight said. Just then she realized that out of all the ponies she mentioned. Twilight had already taken care of her present. This made her curious about how well Twilight knew her and what she got. "I'm kind of surprised that you already took care of me and can't figure out what to get the others. Normally it's the other way around for other ponies. But I guess since you know my brother in a different way, I can see what you're getting at... So how about you and I go in the city and I'll help you look for a gift for each one of them would that help?"

Twilight smiled. She appreciated the offer that Luna gave to her. But also was relieved that the whole she loved Solarium topic was dropped for now, "I would appreciate that a lot. Thank you Luna."

And with that the two left the dining room and started heading off towards the city....

Editor's Note: I try and split chapters up into 3-4 pages on google doc’s so that you can find where you were in the story easily, I messed up with this chapter (I don’t even know why) and it ended up being 6 pages long. And already posted, so I split it up into two parts.

Chapter 7 part 2

~~~ Last Time… ~~~

Twilight smiled. She appreciated the offer that Luna gave to her. But also was relieved that the whole she loved Solarium topic was dropped for now, "I would appreciate that a lot. Thank you Luna."

And with that the two left the dining room and started heading off towards the city to get some presents....

~~~ Meanwhile... ~~~

Solarium had finally reached the mares that adored his attention so much. He took each present with a kind smile. But Solarium just wanted this to be done and over with as soon as possible so he could check and see if Twilight was still all right at the moment, or if she needed another hug to calm her down which he would be more than happy to provide. Everything went smoothly with the receiving of the presents, that is until one of the mares spoke. "Here, this is for you your majesty, and may I just wish you a happy Hearth’s Warming. By the way; I was kind a curious about something."

"Oh really, what is it?"

"You see I was in the market the day when that mysterious Alicorn mare appeared with you and I was wondering if you can clarify who she is?"

"You mean Twilight?"

"So that's her name, yes, I'm talking about Twilight. The thing is, no one really knows whether she a relative of some sort, or if she's your special somepony. So I was hoping you could maybe clarify who she is?"

At hearing this all the mares looked towards Solarium, clearly all of them were interested in this topic, making Solarium worried about how he should respond. He couldn't just up and say that she was some time traveling Alicorn or something like that, and yet, he couldn’t just up and lie to his subjects, so he decided to give a very vague response. "You see, she is an Alicorn from far away from here and is staying with us for the time being and no, she's not related to me whatsoever. That is all I will say on the matter."

At hearing this, the mares all started giving him similar looks that Twilight had in the dining room. Which made him puzzled, but soon the mares continued presenting their gifts, albeit doing it differently than they were before. Solarium didn't understand what they were trying to do. But as they presented their gifts, they each tried to flirt with him. Thinking nothing of this, as things of this nature go over most stallion's heads, he waited until they were done presenting their gifts and then simply thanked them and began to walk back. While he was walking he turned to one of his guards that was escorting him at that moment. "Guard, can you tell me what just happened? I mean as soon as I told them that Twilight was not related to me, and that she is staying at the Castle with Luna and I. Their demeanors completely changed, what was that all about?"

The guard raised his eyebrow, wondering if he should answer or not, since if he did so it would make the Prince sound stupid when it came to mares. But he didn't want to disobey an order. "Permission to speak freely Sir?"

At hearing this Solarium began wondering what could be so bad about his question. That the guard would be worried about answering. "Granted. Now tell me what is going on?"

"Your Majesty, I don’t mean to be blunt, but they were all jealous of Ms. Twilight. More likely they believe that your parents have contacted an old friend, or something. Asked for them to send their daughter over to try to arrange a marriage between you and Twilight. Which all the guards know that that is not the case since the first time we met her, she said. And I quote 'by the shining stars that gem sent me back in time!'. So all us guards know for a fact that she is some time traveling Alicorn. But even if your parents told the subjects that story I highly doubt many ponies would believe it. So your answer was the best choice in the matter. But they took it as a fact that Twilight is a potential suitor for you and they feel threatened by this. So they are all jealous at Twilight which to some extent they are right about the matter, since I can tell you do have feelings towards her in a romantic sense."

At hearing that last statement Solarium blushed. "Are my feelings towards Twilight that obvious? Because even my sister noticed."

"Not always, I've seen how you behave in public when you're with Twilight, sure you do small gestures. But you do it in a way that it looks like you're just trying to make her feel comfortable during her stay here. But when you're back in the Castle you let your guard down quite a bit and it sticks out like a sore hoof."

At hearing this Solarium's blushed got even a deeper shade of red. But then he snapped out of it when he took in the rest of what the guard had said about why the mares behaved the way they did. "Wait jealous the mares were all jealous at the fact that I might be, taken?"

"Yes your Majesty. Personally I think none of their jealous looks match the one Twilight had during breakfast when she heard about all those mares wanting your undivided attention. If I didn't know any better I would have to say she might be feeling the same way about you as you do for her. But that's just from what I saw at breakfast."

At hearing this Solarium was, shocked. The thought that Twilight was jealous hadn’t even crossed his mind. But as he thought about it more, he realized that it made a lot of sense since he remembered that Twilight was just fine up until one of the Castle staff mentioned the mares wanting to see him. Not to mention that the more that topic was brought up around her the angrier she seemed to get. Solarium was starting to wonder if maybe, just maybe, Twilight was starting to return his feelings for her, and was becoming less confused about her feelings. At first he wanted to go straight to Twilight and ask her about it. But then he thought that it would be better to talk to Luna first. He didn't know if she still wanted to keep her emotions locked up until she returned to her time or not. With that in mind if he tried to proclaim his love to her or try to get her to confess her feelings towards him, it could cause her to lock it all up and avoid him. So having decided to talk to Luna first he went to find her. Just then he saw one of his sisters guards, so he walked up to him. "Excuse me, do you know where my sister is? I would like to speak to her about something."

"I'm sorry your Majesty, but Princess Luna, Twilight, and four guards went into the city. Something about Luna helping Twilight find some presents for Hearth's Warming."

At hearing this Solarium nodded his head and asked the guard to let his sister know that he wished to speak with her as soon as possible. Then the two parted ways.

Chapter 9

~~~ Last Time ~~~

And with that Solarium began levitating some pillows while Luna left his bed chambers. He placed one of the pillows underneath Twilight's head. Then placed another one in front of him and got her and himself in a more comfortable position. Once he'd done so Twilight began snuggling even closer towards him and gave a contented sigh. At this Solarium could not help but smile and feel the warmth in his heart. Solarium hoped that someday both he and Twilight could do this on a regular basis, and not only when she had a panic attack. So Solarium placed his head on the pillow that he got for himself and closed his eyes.

~~~ And now Chapter 9... ~~~

Luna had finally made it back to her bed chambers and began wrapping up the presents that she just bought in the city. Once she was done with that however, she had nothing to do and quickly became bored so she decided to check and see if the two lovebirds were awake or not. She headed off back to Solarium's bed chambers. She did not want to wake Twilight up so she quietly opened the door to take a look only to see that both of them were still asleep. This came as a surprise to Luna since she last saw them two hours ago. It was an oddity on itself for Solarium to be asleep during the day any longer than a half an hour. The only exception was when Solarium was sick. So unless he had been ogling Twilight for some time and just finally went to sleep. Having Twilight sleeping next to him must keep him at peace and allow him to take longer naps than normal. Luna decided to go with that since she was the Princess of the night and she had a way of sensing how long somebody has been asleep. Which was an ability she shared with her father, and the moment she poked her head in the room, she sensed that the two had been asleep since she had left. In fact, they were in such a deep sleep that, unless someone woke them up, they would be asleep for another 2 to 3 hours. Which gave Luna an idea, she was kind of curious about what Twilight was dreaming about. So she went towards Twilight, channeled some of her magic, and made a dream link with her. As soon as she entered the dream, she saw Twilight just sitting down watching. Solarium arguing with a white Alicorn mare that possessed the same cutie mark as him, but yet had a lot of different features. Who is that? Luna thought, she has Solarium’s mark, could that be and with that thought she walked towards Twilight and sat next to her. "My name! Would you mind telling me who my brothers fighting with?"

But as soon as Luna spoke Solarium and the white mare turned towards her and spoke in unison. "LUNA!"

"Dear sister, please tell this mare to leave Twilight alone."

"Your sister! Don't you dare address my sister as if she's yours! Luna, tell this stallion that Twilight doesn't belong in this time frame, and should return to our time now."

At hearing what the white mare just said. Luna mouth became slack-jawed realizing that the previously unknown mare was Solarium's female counterpart that Twilight had told her about. The two of them continued their arguing, so Luna slowly turned her head towards Twilight before speaking, "is she who I think she is?"

"Solarium's female counterpart, from my time frame? Yes... yes she is and her name is Princess Celestia."

At hearing this Luna looked back towards the two before addressing her next question. "I'll say it again what are those two fighting about?"

"The argument's topic is myself and that all I'm going to say on the matter."

"Oh come now, I don't think you want these two fighting, especially since they are one and the same, it’s kinda creepy."

"I don't want to talk about it."

"Come on, and maybe if you tell me what's going on. I could help!"

At hearing this Twilight sighed in defeat. "Solarium is arguing that I should follow my heart and go out with him. Meanwhile, Celestia is saying that it's ridiculous and that I should be returned to my time frame as soon as possible and forget such a thing."

At hearing this Luna was shocked. She didn't know that Twilight was this conflicted about this. If she had known earlier she would have rushed into Twilight’s dreams immediately. But then again, she didn’t know if this was a recurring dream or if it had just started. But she had a sinking feeling this was a recurring dream, since Twilight’s demeanor kind of showed that this had been going on for some time. "I'm so sorry Twilight, if I had known you were going through such turmoil in your sleep. I would've intervened much sooner."

"It's all right Luna, it's not your fault. Besides Celestia is right: This is a not my timeframe and I should be focusing on returning to my time, even if Star Swirl won't let me help him."

At hearing this Luna began to become nervous, due to the fact that she knew Twilight was Solarium’s soulmate. But if Twilight was not listening to her heart, and was just going to walk away from it all... Well it would be very bad, Luna was not going to give up though. "Why would you say that if you love my brother, if you really do love him then go for it."

At hearing this Twilight got angry and turn to Luna with a scowl on her face. "But what would happen when Star swirl finds the spell to send me back. I can't stay in this timeframe, there is no Alicorn that looks like me in the future. So if I were destined to come back into the past, then that means I'm destined to return to my time, and in my timeframe Celestia is a dear friend to me. The relationship I have with her is so different from how I'm interacting with Solarium. That if I did pursue a relationship with him, and then returned to my time and Celestia finds out about it. Things would become very awkward for the two of us, and I don't want to ruin the relationship I have with her in my time. I just don't."

After Twilight said that she began to cry, and Luna began to feel guilty for what she’d said. So Luna walked over to Twilight and wrapped her in a hug. "You know Solarium thought about that as well."
At hearing this Twilight looked up and tilted her head. Which Luna thought made her look like a little filly, "He has?"

At hearing her question Luna chuckled. "Of course, and do you know what he told me his answer was to it?"

Twilight shook her head while sighing "no"

Luna decided to continue. "He told me that if you two did go out and become each other’s special some-pony's, or even if your relationship got up to the point of marriage, and Star swirl did find a way to send you back to your time. He would let you go back to your time and wait for you, he also vowed that when you two see each other again and he knows for a fact that it is you, and you remember him, that you two could pick up where you left off in this time. He made a solemn promise that no matter what kind of relationship you have with Celestia. It will not affect your relationship in a negative way and that he would continue to love you."

"He loves me?"

"Yes, he does very much so and the fact that there is a very good possibility that time is still moving on without you in your time frame, and ponies know that you have disappeared. There is a good chance that Celestia knows that you're here. So which do you think would be more awkward for the two of you when you leave and return to your time? You going out with Solarium and then returning back to your time. Or you rejecting him and returning back to your time?"

At hearing this, Twilight was at a loss for words. She thought about it for a moment, but couldn't come up with the answer. "I don't know, I need to think about it."

At hearing this Luna nodded her head in response. "Very well I'll shall be leaving. But first."

Luna channeled her magic and aimed it at Solarium and Celestia. The two were enveloped in a light and suddenly they stopped arguing and walked over to Twilight, looking like they were planning on having a deep discussion with her. Puzzled at this Twilight turned towards Luna once more. "What did you do to them?"

"I just tweaked them a bit: Solarium will answer questions that I would think he would respond to. Whereas Celestia is based on what you just said, you have a mother daughter relationship, figuratively speaking, so I did my best on how she would more than likely respond to your questions. Hopefully, this will help you find the answer you seek."

At hearing this Twilight looked towards Solarium and Celestia, then back to Luna with a grateful smile. "Thank you Luna."

"My pleasure Twilight, see you later."

And with that, Luna left Twilight’s dreams and then left Solarium's bed chambers. Thinking about the conversation she had with Twilight. She knew that Telling her what Solarium said without his permission was not a good idea and breaking her promises, but it needed to be said. She just hoped that her brother could forgive her in the end, as well as that Twilight would make the right decision.

~~~ Meanwhile... ~~~

Back in her dream, Twilight was having a heart to heart discussion with Solarium and Celestia. "But I do see Celestia like a second mother to me. Sure I had a little crush on her when I was a filly but still."

At hearing this Celestia gave a mischievous smile. "So you had a crush on me when you were little. Oh the scandal, what am I going to do with you?"

At hearing this Twilight blushed, while Solarium gave Celestia an angry glare. "I still can't believe you're my female counterpart, don't you care about her happiness."

Celestia gave an angry look at Solarium’s question. "Of course I care about Twilight. I love her as if she was my own daughter, but..."

At hearing the 'but' Twilight turned towards Celestia with a fearful look on her face. Solarium and Celestia saw this but Celestia continued. "There were times when I suspected the two Twilight's to be one and the same. Which at times, almost gave me hope that I'd found my love again."

At hearing this Twilight’s mouth was agape. She couldn't believe what she’d just heard from her former mentor. But then started thinking a little bit more about her time growing up with Celestia. They had formed a mother daughter relationship sometime before her first Mother's Day as Celestia’s student. The day before she went back home for mother’s day to be with her real mom, Twilight had actually left a Mother's Day gift for Celestia. So they had had that type of bond for a long time. However as Twilight grew, there were little things that, as Twilight now thought about them, started to make a little more sense now. There were times when Celestia would give a longing look towards her, as if she was hoping there was something more than what they had at the moment. The time when it was the most noticeable was on Hearts and Hooves day. In fact, sometimes it was so bad that Celestia would try to avoid her altogether. This would confuse Twilight in the past, but made sense now. Could it be that she would date Solarium, and Celestia had been waiting for her to return? Could she be the reason why Solarium became Celestia??? Twilight still had a lot of questions on her mind, but she felt far better now than she had before she had gone to sleep, so she looked up at the two and smiled. "Thank you two for your help. I very much appreciate it."

And with that Twilight began to wake up...

~~~ End of Chapter 9 ~~~

Chapter 10

Something has gone wrong. We don't seem to have an archived copy of that chapter.

Chapter 11

~~~ Last Time ~~~

They soon reached Canterlot Castle where Queen Cosmos and King Artemis waited for them. The two were very eager to meet Twilight. Once the carriage landed the four data and Artemis was the first to speak. "Welcome, I hope your trip here was pleasant and this must be Twilight, it's a pleasure to meet you."

At hearing this Twilight out her head for with respect at the two. "It's a pleasure to meet you too. As well, your Majesty's."

~~~ And now onto chapter 11... ~~~

Queen Cosmos began to chuckle a bit. "There is no need for formalities your are welcome. Guests please come along, I'll show you where you'll be staying during your stay."

Twilight gave her a warm, kind smile that instantly won over Cosmos and Artemis. This made them glad of the fact that their only son had made on his true love. "That's very much appreciated. Thank you very much your Majesty."

"You're very much welcome and can I just repeat that there is no need for formalities."

At hearing this Twilight blushed. "I'm sorry but no one has ever told me your names. When I had explained that no one even knows where you two are in my timeframe. Solarium and Luna told me that more than likely, you two on the big vacation that you have mentioned to them might happen. But neither one has mentioned your name's yet."

At hearing this Artemis gave to his two kids of glare that said. *You didn't bother to tell her our name's?*. Which Twilight didn't see since she was already walking ahead with Cosmos. To where she would be staying in the Castle. Once Twilight got settled in she began walking around. The Castle did not seem really all that much different then it did in her timeframe and she thought she knew what quite well. That's when she bumped into Solarium. "Oh hello Solarium."

"Oh Twilight how you liking your stay. So far at my parents Castle?"

"Oh just fine."

The two continued walking around until Twilight notice something about them. "Is that what I think it is?"

"Mistletoe, yes, but what is that doing their? Never seen any hung in the Castle before, or anywhere for that matter?"

At hearing this Twilight with her head towards Solarium. "You don't know the tradition of mistletoe? Wait... Is a now a tradition here in this time around Hearth's Warming?"

"Mistletoe is another thing in your time frame like sleepovers... What do you do with mistletoe?"

Twilight began to blush at the question. "Well, you see…"

Just then, one of the Castle mates was walking around with a bucket of mistletoe, when Solarium thought of this. He decided to ask her since it seemed like Twilight was not in the mood to answer. "Miss what are you doing with that bucket of mistletoe?"

At seeing that the Prince and the mare was standing under the mistletoe she hanged. She dropped the bucket she was holding. "Oh I am so sorry. I did not think that you would ever be under the mistletoe with a mare your Majesty. You see I'm new here and my little sister kind of started a little tradition at my parents place some time ago and I thought since I was tied up at the Castle, I could try to start the trend at the Castle as well. The head made said it was all right."

"Mind tell me what this tradition is?"

"Well, you see, when stallion and mare is, caught under the mistletoe. You're supposed to kiss lip to lip, with your family by blood or you're already married to someone else. Then a kiss on the cheek would do."

At hearing this Solarium blushed and slowly turn towards Twilight. "Is this true in your time frame? Is this tradition carried out?"

Twilight meekly nodded her head. "Yes. In fact, somepony say it's bad luck if you don't do so."

At hearing this Solarium's heart began to pound he didn't know what to do on the one hoof. This was not really a tradition in his time frame. But on the other of it was for Twilight and he did want to disrespect her culture. Meanwhile, Twilight didn't know what to do. Ever since she found out what the mistletoe was for. She did her very best to avoid at all cost, especially if a stallion was nearby. Now she ended up getting caught with the very first mistletoe hung inside the castle... With Solarium! What were the chances of that! She didn't know whether she should kiss him or not. What they didn't know was before the maid explained what the mistletoe was for. Artemis Luna and Cosmos entered the area and heard the whole thing and began to hope that they do kiss. While at the same time made a promise that if the two did kiss that they would make it a tradition to have mistletoe hung around the castle every year for now on. Eventually Solarium decided that this was a perfect chance to finally kiss Twilight. So he began leaning down towards her. At that same moment Twilight looked up towards him, only to see that Solarium was leaning towards her. Which caused her heart to begin to pound as well. Eventually to she began moving her head towards his and then the two lips finally met and the two ended up sharing their very first kiss together. Which they both felt electricity run through their bodies, their hearts began to burn with a fiery passion. They never felt anything like this before and they didn't want to stop. The maid was blushing at seeing the site before her and didn't know if she should stop them and began to look towards the rest of the Royal family saying this Artemis gave the maid the motion up not to interrupt and to move along which the maid was gladly to oblige.

Sometime after the maid left. The two finally stopped their kiss, which both Solarium and Twilight were blushing fiercely at what they just did.

~~~ End of Chapter 11 ~~~

Chapter 12

~~~ Last Time ~~~

Sometime after the maid left. The two finally stopped their mutual first kiss, which both Solarium and Twilight were blushing fiercely at what they just did.

~~~ And now we return... ~~~

As the two continued to blush, Twilight began to realize that the maid was gone. She began searching for the maid only to see the rest of the Royal family's standing where they were. "You gotta be kidding me."

At hearing what Twilight said Solarium turned towards where she was looking. Only to see the rest of his family standing there. "Really, I can see mother and Luna doing this, but you father, really?"

Seeing that they were caught, all three began to chuckle nervously. The first one to speak was his mother. "But it was just so precious when you two shared that kiss together."

"I have to agree with your mother Solarium."

"I have to go with them on this as well, sorry dear brother and to you as well Twilight."

At hearing this Solarium and Twilight blushed even more so than they did before. They kept this up until Twilight cleared her throat. "Solarium I think we need to talk."

Looking back to Luna Artemis and Cosmos she added in. "Alone."

Solarium nodded in agreement and the two started heading off. To his bed chambers in the Canterlot Castle.

~~~~

That however didn't stop the rest of the Royal family from being snoopy. Artemis led Cosmos and Luna to his and Cosmos's bed chambers. Where he pulls out a crystal ball Luna was, puzzled at seeing this crystal ball. She never saw it before. "Father, what is that crystal ball for?"

At hearing the question Artemis began to chuckle. "Did you really think your mother and I did not supervise you at all times when you were living at Canterlot Castle? Especially what you two did behind your bed chamber doors, this crystal ball is a viewing crystal ball for your brother's bed chambers. I keep tabs on this one since I'm a stallion like your brother. Meanwhile, your mother keep tabs on you with her crystal ball."

Luna's mouth was agape from hearing this as well and made a mental note, to make certain she never does something inappropriate in her bed chambers in Canterlot. Ever. But soon Artemis turned on the crystal ball and instead of just allowing him to look into the crystal ball, he made a projection to show them all what was going on in Solarium's bed chambers.

~~~ On the screen / in Solarium's bed chambers... ~~~

"So, Twilight what is it you want to talk about?"

"Mainly us and the whole kissing under the mistletoe thing."

At hearing this Solarium began to blush again before Twilight continued. "Look, I will admit in my time frame. I did have a little crush on you. But never pursued it, because of reasons which I will not go into detail. That made me think that you would never be, interested in a mare like me. I thought I was able to get over my crush for you a long time ago. When I had the crush I was a filly for ponies sake! But the time we spent together in this timeframe and the small gestures you've done that seem to be only to be nice. Somehow brought those feelings back and even stronger than they were when I was little. But even though I the never had romantic relationship with you in my timeframe. We do have a very strong, unique bond of friendship and I don't want it to become all awkward and such. When I return, back to my time and I know I will have to return to my time. Because there is no Alicorn going by the name of Twilight Shimmer. So there is that I just don't want things to be awkward in the future. So I don't know what to do."

At hearing this Solarium walked up towards her, lifted her chin up with one of his four hooves and kiss her once more. Which the two felt the same fiery passion they did under the mistletoe. They kept at this until they parted lips once more and Solarium began to speak. "Listen, I know that things are very, complex at the moment right now. I know that things are going to be just as complex if not even more so when you return to your time. But I make this promise to you. If we do start dating and Star Swirl finds a way to send you back to your time and you go back. We will just continue dating when you return to your time if we break up. I will not let it affect the relationship we have in your time. And if somehow we end up getting married here in this time. I'll wait for you in your time we can make this work I promise. Just give me a chance to prove it."

Twilight thought about it for moment old thoughts were racing in debating. About whether or not she should even give Solarium a chance. She thought about what Solarium just said, and what Luna told her. Seeing that what the two said were pretty much the same thing at this point, she just side in defeat. "I still do not know whether or not this is a good idea."

At hearing this Solarium ears folded back and was about to say something until Twilight interrupted. "But I am willing to give this a chance."

At hearing this Solarium ears perked up and smiled. "You won't regret this Twilight I promise."

The two embraced in a hug. And true to his word Twilight did not regret it.

~~~ Back with the rest of the family... ~~~

At seeing this Luna, Artemis and Cosmos began cheering until Artemis cleared her throat. "All right, we will act surprised when they announce they are dating. What happened in this room stays in this room got it."

The two nodded in agreement and the three went their own separate ways.

~~~ Later... ~~~

Everyone regrouped in the dining room when it was supper time. Solarium and Twilight decided that was best to just let him know now, since they probably were suspicious on it anyway, so Solarium cleared his throat. "I got something to say Twilight and I are now officially dating."

Everyone at the table cheered and the Castle staff that heard, were first in shock. Before starting the cheer as well Before the young couple. At this point, Artemis decided to pull a little joke on the new couple. "Oh, we put all of Twilight things in your room or leave it in her guest room?"

At hearing this, the two started blushing fiercely and Solarium can help but yell at his father. "WE ARE JUST STARTING TO DATE EACH OTHER! DON'T YOU THINK THAT IT'S A LITTLE SOON FOR US SHARING A BED TOGETHER!"

At this moment Luna decided to join the conversation. "But you two already shared a bed at night."

At hearing this their parents looked towards Solarium. Meanwhile, Stars swirl was having a coughing fit since this was the first time he had heard of it. This all caused Solarium to blush even further and he decided to answer with the reason why it had happened. "That only been because, Twilight had a panic attack and you went and took her into my room. While knowing for a fact that if I calm her down she would end up falling asleep. And we couldn't risk wakeing her up. Because we could not afford her going back in her panic attack now could we?"

At hearing this their parents looked back towards Luna who was now blushing and embarrassed. So after they all continue eating their supper and recited to bed.

~~~ End of Chapter 12 ~~~

~~~ Next Time: Hearth's Warming Day! ~~~

Chapter 13

~~~ Last Time ~~~

… So Solarium decided to explain. "That only been because, Twilight had a panic attack and you went and took her into my room. While knowing for a fact that if I calm her down she would end up falling asleep. And we couldn't risk we cannot afford her going back in her panic attack now could we?"

At hearing this their parents looked back towards Luna who was now blushing and embarrassed. So after they all continue eating their supper and recited to bed.

~~~ And now Hearth's Warming Day! ~~~

The next day was Hearth's Warming and everyone was surrounding the Hearth's Warming tree. They had been exchanging presents for some time until they came to Solarium's present that he had made for Twilight. It was the last gift to be, opened and Solarium had wanted it that way. "Here Twilight I hope you like it."

At this point Twilight took the present and began unwrapping it. Only to find reveal book cover. The book was decorated with a very beautiful design. It was white and on each corner was a purple five pointed star. This made a total of four on the front cover and four on back and on the spine itself it had five of them in a row. In the center of the top cover, it had Solarium's cutie Mark. But what shocked Twilight was in the center of Solarium's Cutie Mark. It was a magenta six pointed star! She began to wonder if Solarium knew what her real cutie Mark looked liked or if it was just a weird coincidence, so she decided to ask. "I understand the five pointed stars and your cutie Mark. But what is with the six pointed star?"

Hearing the question Solarium blushed. "In all honesty I don't really know why I did that, it just felt right for some strange reason."

Twilight nodded her head, and looked back to the book. She opened it up wondering if there was something she was missing that would explain why the book had no pages. Seeing this Solarium knew what she was thinking and was sorry that he did not tell her what the book was for beforehand. "Oh Twilight it's something on a unique that my parents developed some time ago. It's an infinity book, you can take any book and tap the spine of the book to the inner spine of the infinity book and it will attach itself to the infinity book. You can even make the book to go in alphabetical order or based off what type of book it is by channeling your magic. Normally the infinity book will only work for the one who created it. But there are exceptions that I used so that both you and I can place any book into the infinity book whenever one of us wants to. As soon as you place your own magic into the book, you won't need to use up bookshelf to carry all your books you pretty much will have a library in one book. So what do you think do you like it?"

At hearing this Twilight was, shocked she never heard of such a book and for Solarium to make something like this and the fact that he was willing to give it to her. It showed just how much he really would go for her. She looked up to them with tears in her eyes. "Like it. I love it!"

And at that moment Twilight jumped towards Solarium. Wrapped her front four legs around Solarium's neck and kept on crying. With tears of joy. For a moment Solarium was shocked at this. But then reciprocated the hug from Twilight, glad that she liked it.

~~~ Meanwhile, back in Twilight's real time... ~~~

Celestia was looking at a book not just any book. It was the infinity book she gave Twilight back when she was Solarium in a past Hearth's Warming Day. The day after they started going out. Over the time that they spent together before that unicorn killed Twilight. She would place many inside the infinity book but after Twilight's death. Celestia started putting books in the infinity book that had stopped being made. Books that have now ceased to exist. Especially when the Canterlot Castle library wanted to get rid of old books. To make room for new ones. In fact, when the Castle of the two sisters was destroyed, Celestia got a copy of every single book from the castle of the Two Sisters. And she placed them inside Twilight's Infinity Book. Except those that had dark magic in it. Doing this helped Celestia feel as if Twilight was still with her. At the moment Celestia was placing more books in to the infinity book. But this time she was placing the books that Twilight Sparkle had read during her time staying at the Castle as her student, as well as a copy of every Daring Do book in the series while eating a slice of chocolate cake. All the while tears were streaming down Celestia's face. Celestia did not believe that Twilight survived from that attack all those years ago. She did not believe twilight would return to this timeframe at the moment she was hit. She had no hope. "I failed you again Twilight Sparkle. First I failed you with trusting you when Queen Chrysalis was pretending to be Candace. Then there was the time when I didn't trust you to handle Tirek and had Discord go after him. Only for him to get tricked into joining forces with Tirek then. As soon as that happens, I tell you to take all of our all Alicorn magic and make a run for it and to hide, not trusting that you could handle him at that time. But the biggest day there I have for you was really good in the past all along. I field from making certain that you would not go back in time. If only I could've figured out that you and Twilight Shimmer were one of the same. I would've done everything in my power keep you from falling victim to that gem again. I would've gone so far as even sending some Royal guards. To watch over you and make certain that you stayed safe so I would not lose you again. Sure in doing so I would not remember you as Twilight Shimmer and we would have never fallen in love. But at least you be safe and alive. I'm so sorry Twilight please forgive me."

At this Celestia cried even harder than she had before. Just then a scroll appeared in front of her. Seeing this came to Celestia as a shock. Wondering what Luna wanted to say, she opened the scroll and began to read it. As soon as she read that Discord knew what that gem was and that he had something that could tell him how the gem work. And maybe even how to reverse it. Celestia's heart began to fill up with hope. "We might still have a chance on saving Twilight."

At that moment Celestia just wanted to rush to Discords house to help search for the device. But it said that she should stay at the Castle and that the two would meet her there. As soon as she was, done reading it. She decided to make herself more presentable for when the two came back to the Castle. She also debated whether or not she should do something on a certain topic.

~~~ Meanwhile, With Discord and Luna... ~~~

The two finally made it to Discords hose and Luna was getting prepared to deal with a chaotic mess in the attic. She knew that attics can be very messy and unorganized in normal homes. And she was certain that Discords would be far worse than any attic anyone would ever see. When the two made it up to the attic, Luna's mouth went agape. She couldn't believe her eyes! The attic was not messy at all! It was well organized, almost as if Twilight paid a visit and organized Discords attic for him. She slowly turned her head towards Discord before asking. "How is it that the spirit of chaos has an organized attic? When other places than home normally have attics little chaotic and messed?"

At hearing this Discord showed a little bit of embarrassment. "To tell you the truth it used to be that way. But over the years it just became so hard for me to find anything. And when a lot of my magical items and such are super sensitive to my chaos magic. I have to be careful, so I at least keep my attic organized. So I made attic rooms that go by the last year I used it. I do this because the closer it is to the attic entrance, the more recently I used it. And the more recently I used it, the more likely I am to use it again sometime soon. But the father back. It is the more likelihood it will never be used again. But I keep it just in case. So since I last time used the device was 3000 years before I met you and now it has been 1000 years since then... That would mean it would be in my 4000 years ago section. But once we enter the 4000 years ago section of my attic. That's when it's gonna be chaotic and disorganized."

At hearing this Luna nodded her head and the two started heading off to that section of the attic.

~~~ End of chapter 13 ~~~

Chapter 14

~~~ Last Time ~~~

Since I last time used the device was 3000 years before I met you and now it has been 1000 years since then... That would mean it would be in my 4000 years ago section. But once we enter the 4000 years ago section of my attic. That's when it's gonna be chaotic and disorganized."

At hearing this Luna nodded her head and the two started heading off to that section of the attic.

~~~ Back to what we consider the past... ~~~

Twilight and Solarium have been dating for about three years now. The ponies of Equestria were getting used to the fact that Solarium had a special somepony. Although, a lot of mares were not all that happy about it. At the moment Twilight and Solarium were in his study in the Castle that the Twilight knew at the Castle of The Two Sisters, but in this time frame, it was called The Everfree Castle. They were by the fireplace both reading some books. Twilight was reading a book that was in her infinity book that she had recently placed into it. While Solarium was reading the book that he got earlier from twilight for the last Hearth's Warming. All the while holding Twilight in a wing embrace. Even though this was not what others would consider very romantic. Solarium would have to admit Twilight's idea, of a perfect date was very enjoyable. The two have been doing this many times, but each time was more special than the last. Sure, the two went out on dates and such, but they were simple dates like a simple picnic and such. Sure they went out on very extravagant dates once in awhile and did enjoy them. But if they tried to do too many of them in multiple successions like every other date. It just didn't work out. Because those kinds of dates became overwhelming at times for Twilight. This was a trait that Solarium like about her. He didn't need to do too much to please her and can focus more on loving her and when he did think of doing something special. It felt far better than what normal couples would do one special dates and occasions. Which reminded him that tomorrow was Hearts and Hooves day. He had planned something extra special for Twilight tomorrow. Which he has been keeping it a secret from her this whole entire time. At some point Twilight started looking up towards him. Noticing a look in his eyes that she'd gotten to know quite well knowing that he was up to something. She decided to investigate. "I know that look what are you up to?"

At hearing this Solarium chuckled. "I'm sorry dear. But I do not know what you're talking about."

Twilight quirked one of her eyebrows. "Really because that look your eyes telling me you're up to something."

"What look?"

"You know exactly what I'm talking about."

The two kept staring at each other before they burst into laughter. "But seriously, what are you up to?"

"If I was planning something which I'm not. I wouldn't be tell you anything because I would like to keep it as a surprise."

At hearing this Twilight gave out a little pout that Solarium thought was just adorable. So he leaned down to kiss Twilight, which she returned the kiss as well. They did this for a little bit before they parted lips at that moment, someone knocked at the door. "Twilight dear brother. It's time for supper."

"All right Luna were coming. Come on Twilight, we don't want to keep her in the others waiting now do we?"

And nodded her head in agreement and they went off to the dining room for supper. Everyone began to eat and everything was normal until Luna decided to ask the question. "So are you two lovebirds excited for tomorrow?"

At hearing this Twilight gave doubt a quizzical look when also Solarium froze. "Luna, what's tomorrow?"

"Twilight, tomorrow is Hearts and Hooves day."

"I thought I was next week. Good thing I was, prepared ahead of time in selecting a gift for Solarium last week."

Just then Twilight realized what that glint in Solarium's eyes was for. "All right, Solarium what you got plan tomorrow?"

"I do not know what you're talking about?"

"Oh no you used that card are ready in your private steady. That look in your eyes that you were showing in the steady. It was you thinking about what you have plan tomorrow for us don't you dare lie to me on that."

At hearing this Solarium knew that he was caught and if he tried a denied any farther. It would upset Twilight and he never wanted to see her upset. "Yes, I got something planned for to us tomorrow, but I want it to be a surprise so you're just going to have to wait and see."

At hearing this Twilight sighed in defeat. "Fine, you win."

At hearing this, everyone at the table besides Twilight. Began to chuckle in amusement soon after Twilight joined in. The next day after they ate breakfast. Solarium had everything packed for his little surprise and went to find Twilight. When all the while Twilight was looking for him. While carrying her Hearts and Hooves day present. Solarium was just going down the hallway when Twilight noticed the end of his tail. At first she was planning on just calling out to him to let him know that she was right behind him. But then started thinking that since Nightmare Night didn't exist... Also, she wanted to see how he would react if she came up from behind him. She decides to try to scare him instead. So she tiptoed behind him and as he stopped for a moment to debate where to look next. Twilight flapped her wings as quietly as she could and then grabbed him by the shoulder, saying. "What you're doing?!"

At this Solarium jumped in surprise. He did not have the experience that his future self Celestia had. So he was quite easy to surprise compare in comparison. He did not pick up that trade of not being surprised and knowing when somebody is around him. Until around the time Celestia and Luna defeated Discord. So soon after this happened he whipped his head towards Twilight. "By my own sun, you scared me."

At hearing this Twilight began to chuckle. "Sorry, but I couldn't resist. Anyways, happy Hearts and Hooves day."

And with that Twilight presented us small box to him. At seeing this Solarium took hold of the box with his magic and unwrapped it. To see that it was, filled with balls that smelled like chocolate cake before. Solarium could ask what they were Twilight did him to it. "There cake truffles you see in my time there are some parts of Equestria. Has a tradition for mare's to make chocolate for the stallion that they like. Also in my timeframe ponies got like creative with cake. So I just made a chocolate cake then turned them into a couple. Another way you can do it is turn them into cake pop which is comical lollipop. But instead of the candy part it has cake on it instead. Do you like it?"

"Yes I do very much. Thank you Twilight now are you ready for your Hearts and Hooves day present?"

At hearing this Twilight nodded her head. "Then follow me."

The two walk together for a while. Until the reached the chariot platform wearer some Royal guards were waiting for them. Seeing this Twilight began to wonder if Solarium was going to take her to Canterlot, but didn't ask, since she knew that more than likely Solarium would not answer her question. So she just got on the chariot and as soon as both of them were in the chariot the guards began to fly off with them. As they were traveling by carriage. Twilight looked around the scenery was breathtaking at first. During their journey to wherever Solarium was planning on taking her. Twilight thought that her guess on where they were going was true. Since they were heading towards the mountains. But then they flew past Canterlot, so she began to start to think up one other place Solarium could be taking her. "Solarium are you taking me to the Crystal Empire?"

"No, I'm not there is a place I know that I think you would like. It seems like we're heading to the Crystal Empire, but pretty soon we're going to make a turn."

At hearing this Twilight nodded and just as Solarium said. They did make a turn at some point. They ended up in of forest. Surrounded by the mountains at this point the guards that were pulling the chariot started lowering down a little bit. Not much but enough for Twilight notice. Which normally means that there are close to their destination. But not close enough to start a full on landing. So she began to look around to see if she could see where they were going to land. Eventually she looked straight ahead once more and gasped at what she saw.

~~~ Back in the present... ~~~

Celestia was in the Royal archives. Even though at some point Celestia and Luna lived at the Castle of The two sisters. All Royal legal affairs happened in Canterlot. Since that was where Celestia and Luna's parents considered home. The reason why Celestia was in the Royal archives was because she needed to start gathering old documents. For starters, the documents that had any mention of Solarium becoming Celestia. As well as the rules that allowed her to remain as Celestia. This was because there was a catch. The catch was if Celestia ever found Twilight Shimmer again. As in the future, not the time that she first met Twilight. And learned her real name not Twilight shimmer, but her real part after Twilight. And now that she knows that Twilight Shimmer is Twilight Sparkle. To be honest, it should have been obvious to Celestia. She should have realized it after Twilight met Sunset. That Twilight just took the last part of Sunsets Name and use it as part of her own. Which more than likely was, meant to be a hint for Celestia, but she paid no heed to the hint. But she couldn't keep thinking about it because she had to follow with the catch. Since she is an Alicorn of her word so she has to pull all these documents show them to the Council, then tell the news media about this. Upon which, she would announce that she would no longer going to be Celestia anymore, but Solarium once again. She was not all that sure she was ready to go back to being a stallion. "I am so not looking forward with dealing with the Council the Royal Council. The Council of this time are not as open-minded as their ancestors. I don't even want to think what Prince Blueblood is going to say up about all this. Then there the whole media asking a bazillion and then some questions. About how I could be really a stallion and why I became a mare in the first place. It's going to be hectic for a while. I'm pretty sure Discords going to enjoy it. Knowing my luck as soon as I let out that one bit of detail mares all over will want her or him. It's gonna take a long time for me to refer to myself as Solarium again."

At this Celestia started looking for the one other set of documents she needed as well. These were all about Twilight as well. Celestia was not looking forward to this when she finally announced it. Especially the fact that she will also have to deal with Cadence, Shining, Spike, Twilight's parents and friends. Then she also has to contact her parents as well. "I know Cadence is gonna be all giddy finding out that Twilight and I have a romantic relationship. Although it still will be awkward her finding out I'm really a stallion and not mare. Shining Armor, Nightlight, and Twilight Velvet going to go all protective. As soon as they learn about our relationship. Then if I tell them that some creepy unicorn killed Twilight in the past, they're all gonna be heartbroken. I don't even know how Spikes going to react. Pinkie pie will probably one of for a party... Until she hears part about the creepy unicorn killing Twilight. Applejack is gonna be really mad at me for some time for and calling me a liar for a while. Rainbow Dash is probably going to want to beat me up. For letting the unicorn hurt Twilight in the first place. Fluttershy is probably gonna just cry the whole time. Rarity will probably want to flirt with me until she finds out that I've already been taken by Twilight. Then as soon as she hears that a creepy unicorn killed Twilight. She's gonna probably start shouting out and I quote. *This. Is. The. Worst. Possible. Thing. That. Could. Happen!* And then she'll summon a fainting couch out of nowhere and pass out on it. And I'm not looking forward to whatever Discord has up his sleeves when he finds out."

It was not going to be fun, along with the fact that. Discord was going to find out that she could already see many ways Discord could use this to aggravate her.

~~~ End of Chapter 14 ~~~

Next Time: "No. No. No. No. Hmm... No..."

Chapter 16

~~~ Last Time ~~~

Discord started thinking that there was something he did not know about Celestia and it was a dozy of a secret, he couldn't wait to hear the full scoop about it. So with a snap of his fingers. The two teleported to Canterlot Castle.

~~~ And now we return to Solarium and Twilight... ~~~

Solarium looked down towards Twilight to see that she was having the same reaction he had when he first found this place. Seeing this made Solarium fill with joy and pride for doing this. He was also very happy about what he was about to say next. "I'm glad that you liked this place. Since we are going to be here for the whole weekend since today's Friday. We won't be heading back to the Everfree Castle until Monday."

At hearing this Twilight mouth went agape in awe. She thought that they were only going to spend the day here. Not the whole entire weekend, but then the shock left her. Her eyes began to sparkle and she began to smile. "You mean it?"

"Yes I do mean it now I need to unpack what I brought for us for this trip, would you like to take a look around the cabin?"

"Yes I would very much like so to see the inside of the cabin, thank you for asking."

The two walked in and already Twilight loved it. The inside of the cabin reminded her of the inside of the golden oak library, before Tirek destroyed it. Her favorite part of the whole cabin was the living room. It had a simple fireplace with some bookshelves filled with books. Twilight could not help but to skim the spines of the books to see what they were. Eventually Solarium was done unpacking and went to Twilight, levitating some ice skates which made Twilight chuckled nervously. "Are you going ice skating?"

At hearing and seeing Twilight's nervousness made him a bit concerned for her. But he smiled gently before continuing. "Not just me. I was hoping you would join me."

At hearing this Twilight became even more flustered. "Well, you see I'm the best at ice skating in fact. There was an incident when I tried for the first time, so I'm a little bit apprehensive about the whole thing."

At hearing this Solarium gave an even more to gentle smile. "Well, I can help you by teaching you the basics."

"I don't know."

"Trust me, I won't let anything bad happen to you. I promise."

At hearing this Twilight could only do one thing. "All right, I'll give it another try."

At hearing this Solarium smiled with joy. "Great, let's get to the lake, shall we?"

The two reached the lake and put on their ice skates Solarium was the first one to get on the ice. He extended one of his wings towards Twilight. Who used her wing to grab onto his and slowly walked on the ice. At the beginning Twilight had a bit of a hard time with her balance. But with help from Solarium she learned quickly how to skate on the ice. Eventually she became good enough, skate on her own and was beginning to enjoy it. Eventually Solarium started doing some figure skating moves on the ice. Which Twilight was, shocked. Seeing this she never knew that Celestia was good at ice skating and began. To wonder why I never saw Celestia skating in Canterlot before. "I never knew you were good at ice-skating. Since I had never seen you a skate before in my timeframe nor heard of you ice-skating."

At hearing this Solarium chuckled. "That's probably because I don't normally skate in front of others. Sometimes during the winter, our parents would take us to their cabin and they taught us how to ice skate. But whenever we would try to a skate around Canterlot growing up, ponies would make a fuss about it. Mostly the mares, at least for me. They would keep asking me to teach them how to skate. Even though I saw them skating just fine before I started skating. So I pretty much only would skate here or at my parents cabin ever since."

"If ponies kept asking you to teach them how to ice skate and that's the whole reason why you only skate in private, then why did you teach me how to skate?"

A hearing this Solarium gave out a grin. "I don't mind teaching those who legitimately want to learn how to ice skate. But those who just pretending that they don't know how to do things just to get my attention really gets on my nerves. I could tell right away that you were telling the truth on the fact that you didn't know how to ice skate. So I was more than happy to teach you how to ice skate. I love teaching ponies how to do things in fact. I wish I could teach ponies things like a teacher, but it would never work out."

At hearing this Twilight froze. If Celestia never became her mentor, then she would never become the Alicorn that she is today and Solarium is Celestia's past self. So she needed the fix this quick, even if it meant tinkering with the future a bit more. "Why not? If you love teaching so much, why not teach?"

At hearing this Solarium side. "Because my subjects will just pretend they don't know something and we'll. Just end up relearning the same things, just to get my attention. It's not worth it."

"That's not true Solarium."

At hearing this Solarium with its head towards Twilight. "Twilight I love you, but that's what will happen if I ever teach. "

At hearing this Twilight began to chuckle. "Solarium you remember the relative I spoke about before, the one who that became an Alicorn by finishing Start swirl spell about friendship right?"

At hearing this Solarium nodded remembering. What Twilight told her about that relative of hers. "Yes I do recall you mentioning that. I also remember the fact that you won't tell me if it's your mother or your grandmother cousin. However, this Alicorn is your relative in some way. But what does that have to do with me being a teacher?"

"That relative of mine was once your personal student before ascending into an Alicorn. Back when that relative was a unicorn. You see you open it up a school in Canterlot for unicorns with strong magical potentials, and whenever you see a unicorn that has so much magical potential that it really more of a bother having that unicorn going from classroom to classroom, learning bits and pieces of topics, moving around about in subjects. Or if you see that they have too much magic. You'll take them and become a mentor to them and they will become your own personal student. So you see you are a teacher, you just are very picky on who you teach in my time."

At hearing this Solarium was, shocked. He did not know what to think he never thought he would be able to help educate his subjects for a brighter future. But now hearing that he could do so by just taking on personal student. This made him very happy. So much so that he started crying with tears of joy. But when Twilight saw this she thought she may have done something wrong. So she started skating up towards him and soon she was by his side. "Solarium are you okay?"

Just as soon as Solarium noticed that Twilight was right next to him. He pulled her into an embrace while still crying. "Thank you. Thank you so much for telling me this, it means a lot to me."

At hearing this Twilight realized that he was not crying because she said very wrong. He was crying because he was, overjoyed those she smiled and returned embrace. "You're welcome."

They stayed like this for some time until Solarium spoke. "Sorry about that."

"No it's fine. Really."

"So do you want to continue ice-skating?"

"Lets."

So both of them continued Ice-skating until it was lunchtime. When the two headed back towards the cabin and started to prepare their lunch. As soon as they were done eating their lunch, the two decided to read up by the fireplace. Twilight ended up in Solarium's wing embrace during this time(, although she really did not mind). Eventually it was supper time and by the time they were, done eating. They were both tired and decided to retire for the night. Solarium showed Twilight where she would be sleeping for the night. (The bedroom right next to his.) The two said goodnight to each other and went off to bed.

~~~ End of chapter 16 - Next time: A nature walk.~~~

Chapter 17

~~~ Last Time ~~~

By the time they were done eating, they were both tired and decided to retire for the night. Solarium showed Twilight where she would be sleeping for the night. (The bedroom right next to his.) The two said goodnight to each other and went off to bed.

~~~ And now, onto Chapter 17!~~~

The next day, the two decided to take in nature walk around the forest. Twilight decided to bring a sketchpad, some quills and ink with her. The two walked around the forest Twilight would ask Solarium to stop for a while. So she could draw a flour or something else she found in the forest. Upon which Solarium would gladly oblige.

Eventually they came upon a flower that Twilight has never seen before. It looked like something you would find in the Crystal Empire. But from all the time she has visited the Crystal Empire. To see her older brother and Cadence or go there for Royal duties, she had never seen such a flower like that there before so she turned her head towards Solarium. "Solarium what's this flower?"

At hearing this, he walked over towards her and took a go look at the flower. "It's a Truelove's Crystal flower."

At hearing this Twilight tilted her head in confusion never hearing such a flower before. "Truelove's Crystal flower... No, never heard of them. I don't think I even read of them in any of my endangered or extinct, flowers and plants book."

At hearing this Solarium chuckled. "I wouldn't be, surprised. They used to grow in Crystal Empire all the time. But at one point the ponies there got a bit too greedy and accidentally picked them all and let them die before they could even harvest the seeds to regrow them. The Empire got so embarrassed about this. That they have been trying to erase the flower from all written records. The only reason why I know about it because it happened about ten years ago. Before you came to his timeframe, I found these flowers. It was part of the reason why decide to build my cabin here."

At hearing this Twilight was, shocked that something like this could happen at the Crystal Empire, long before King Sombra took over it. She was a little upset that the Empire would do such a thing. All because they were so embarrassed at what they did, the plants had been erased from existence because of ponies. Diamond dogs, Minotaur's and other such beings got greedy on taking plants at times. But to be so prideful that they had hidden their mistake from the future was just plain mean. But before Twilight could start going on a rant about it she decided to focus more on the flower itself. "So, why is it called Truelove's Crystal flower?"

"It's because they say that this flour was created by the crystal heart itself. There are many legends and myths on what this flour can do, but I really never paid attention to them. Fortunately enough, I do still have a copy of a book that talks about Truelove's Crystal flowers in my room. You can have it if you want to add into your infinity book when we get back to Everfree Castle."

At hearing this Twilight beamed. "Really?"

"Really."

As soon as Twilight was, done sketching the flower the two resumed their nature walk. Around lunchtime they decide to have a picnic right where they were. Eventually they started heading back to the cabin and by the time they got back it was getting late. So the two decided to have an early supper. When they were done eating, Twilight realized that her muscles were sore from all that walking. Solarium had figured something like this would happen and came up with the idea. "Why don't we go to the Hot Springs?"

At hearing this Twilight stared at him. With utter shock mouth agape while flushing from awkwardness. "I don't know what I think about us being in the spring together. Don't you think that's? I don't know..."

At hearing this Solarium blushed. "I didn't mean us sharing the same hot springs. There are multiple ones are around and are some of them that have rocks blocking them from the others. I was referring to going to one of those Hot Springs sorry if I made it awkward for you."

At hearing this Twilight blushed got even redder for not thinking about that in the first place. But in her defense, she did not really get a good look at the Hot Springs. She just knew that they were somewhere close to the cabin. "Okay let go to the Hot Springs then."

And with that the two were heading over to the Hot Springs.

~~~

When they reached the Hot Springs they went into their own separate pools of water. Which in between the pools that they chose were enough rocks that blocked each other from view and kept them far enough apart that they could talk to themselves without the other hearing them, which they did. "Nice going Solarium. You put Twilight in an awkward situation when you first suggested that. You should have been more specific. How could I be so stupid. Of course she would think of that. She didn't really see the Hot Springs before until just now, she only saw them at a distance. So how would she know that there were separate springs in the area. And if Twilight was so flustered up about that. How is she gonna react tomorrow with my big surprise on our last night here? Maybe I should not it even do it."

"Okay Twilight calm down. It was a simple misunderstanding. Things like that happen no need for your feathers to get ruffled up about it. Besides, you should've known better. Solarium is Celestia's past self. You know her well enough to know that she would not do something like that unless she got married. But then again, even though there is a lot of similarities between the two and personalities. There's still so much difference between them as well. Like Solarium is more easy to startle than Celestia. Furthermore, he does not know what to do all the time unlike Celestia. Solarium likes to fly in the sky for relaxation, when Celestia likes a simple stroll around Canterlot Castle's Royal gardens. So how can I think of them as the same, when they're so different at the same time."

The two stayed like this in their respective Hot Spring pools for some time. That is until Solarium thought that it would be a good time for the two. To the head back to the cabin so Solarium stepped out of the water and started heading towards Twilight. Once he got close enough to be heard, but not close enough to see her. He decided to speak. "Twilight, it's getting late. We should start heading back to the cabin."

At hearing Solarium's voice Twilight whipped her head towards his direction. To see that he was a respectable amount of distance away from her. "All right. Just gimme a minute I'll be there as soon."

"All right."

Twilight left the Hot Springs Pool and started. Heading towards Solarium once she reached him. The two started heading towards the cabin and decided to retire for the night.

~~~

The next day after breakfast Solarium decided that he would go through with his plans tonight. "Twilight I have one more surprise for you. But is gonna take me all day to complete it. Would you mind doing your own thing today?"

At hearing this, Twilight thought about it for moment. Thinking it would be a good chance for her to think about the last three years since she'd been dropped into this timeframe. She really needed is a clearer head. "That is fine with me, I think I'll be by the flowers for now."

And with that the two parted ways, Solarium staying in the cabin working on his surprise. Meanwhile, Twilight went over to the fields of flowers that was between the frozen lake in the Hot Springs. When Twilight made it to the flowers. She just laid down and just stared aimlessly around her. "Okay, ever since you got into this timeframe. You started falling in love with your old mentor and now going out with said mentor. Met the long lost King and Queen of Equestria. Learned that said former mentor is really a stallion and not a mare. And multiple things have been going on since then. I know that this shouldn't be happening that I should of never fell in love with Solarium. I know for the fact that's the reason why certain when things happen I feel real awkward about it. But yet at the same time. I just can't help it. I really do love Solarium and I know even though he said that it's not going to be awkward when I return, back to my time. It is going to be. Because he's a mare named Celestia in my time. What am I to do?"

At this Twilight, was thinking about it on till she remembered something that Candace had told her a long time ago when she was a filly. "Candace, what happens if you fall in love? But then there is so much conflicting things that rushing through your head?"

At hearing this Candace may look like she thought about it for a while, when already she knew the answer. Since a lot of people ask her that since she was the Princess of love. "Well Twilight when your mind is racing, and it's giving you so may things to think about and so many doubts and such. You need to listen to your heart. Your heart will know what to do. The only time you should listen to your mind and not your heart. Is if the pony love is hurting you physically or verbally. But other than that, your heart will know what to do all the time."

At remembering this Twilight smiled. "Follow my heart. Well, my heart is telling me not to give up. Sure I'll end up back in my time at some point. But this love that Solarium and I have is not worth giving up no matter how awkward it will be when I see Celestia again. I need to follow my heart and my heart is telling me to be with Solarium."

Around this time. It Solarium had noticed it was getting to be mid day and had brought out a picnic basket filled with food. "Hello Twilight, I'm still working on yours surprise. So I thought we could have a little picnic around the flowers."

"That sounds like a great idea Solarium."

So then the two started enjoying their picnic and for once since Twilight got to this timeframe and began dating Solarium. She was not worried about what will happen when she returned to her timeframe.

~~~ End of chapter 17 - Next time: DISCORD! He's howling at the moon! ~~~

Chapter 18

~~~ Last Time (We were in the present. [Chapter 15])~~~

"You're welcome. I would love to stay and chat, but I got to prepare. The Celestia No longer is being a mare. But is now going back to her stallion form and calling herself Solarium once more again party bye."

And with that Pinkie disappeared. Discord put the device in its protective casing. As soon as he was done he recalled what Pinkie said about Celestia. Which made him very curious about that so he turned back towards Luna to ask. "What did Pinkie mean by Celestia turning back into a stallion and who is Solarium?"

At hearing this Luna froze, but then answered his question. "I'm sorry but by Equestrian law I'm not allowed to talk about it. Only Celestia's allowed to talk about it, you'll have to ask her. Although I'm curious how Pinkie Pie knew that?"

At hearing this Discord started thinking that there was something he did not know about Celestia and he couldn't wait to hear the full scoop about it. So with a snap of his fingers. The two teleported to Canterlot Castle.

~~~ And now...~~~

Discord and Luna made it back to Canterlot Castle. They teleported right in front of Celestia only to find her going through very old document. Luna curious on what the documents were began to levitate one and read it over. Only to realize that they were the documents involving Solarium being Celestia. Which Discords curiosity overwhelmed him. So he wound over Luna's shoulder to read over her. "So Pinkie was telling the truth, our dear little Princess of the sun is really a prince."

At hearing this Celestia's head shot up staring at the two. "What do you mean Pinkie with telling the truth about me being a stallion?"

At hearing Celestia's question Luna gave to her a nervous smile. "Well, you see, when we were looking for the device. I made a comment about how much faster it would have been if Pinkie was there to help us look. Then out of nowhere she popped out and gave us the device were looking for. Then said that she need to start planning a party for you turning back into a stallion. I do not know how, but she knows that you're not really a mare."

At hearing this Celestia's mouth was agape, but then she composed herself. "Well, that's a little scary to hear. I am wondering if it involved her pinkie senses? Or if somehow her family had a written document about my time being a stallion?"

As soon as Discord heard this he gave mischievous smile. "So, Princess Prince when am I going to see your true self?"

"Sorry, Discord. But that's not going to happen until the Council are presented. Then I have to inform the news media about this. And more importantly not until Luna and my parents come to help sort this all out."

At hearing this Discord frowned. "Oh fine, but at lest tell me why do you have to go back to being a stallion now, and why did you became a mare in the first place?"

"I am not going to explain myself more than I need to Discord. If you want know you're going to have to wait until. Spike, Candace, Shining, the rest of the element bearers and Twilight's parents are here. I was hoping I would explain it all to all of you out once, then to the Council and then the news media. So will you be patient I just sent the letters to all of them. Including my parents, which I would recommend you be on your best behavior since my father is still mad about the whole Tirek incident. Might I add that he is more powerful than Luna and myself combined. He might actually be able to do some harm to you."

At hearing this Discord froze with fear on his face and began to chuckle nervously. "Right, good to know. Anyways, why don't I start putting the device together. So we can start analyzing the rainbow matrix gem I'll get on it right away."

And with that Discord started taking the analyzing device out of its casing and putting it together. So he could analyze the rainbow matrix gem to know how to work it properly. So they could undo the gem's effect...

~~~

Meanwhile, back in the past. The two got done eating their lunch, and Solarium gave Twilight some books to read outside while he finished preparation for Twilight's big surprise. Which she did so until supper time when Solarium came back out for her. "Twilight, it's supper time and I have the surprise ready for you."

At hearing this Twilight began to levitate the books that she was reading outside. "All right, back to the cabin then."

They made it back to the cabin as soon as they did. Solarium took hold of the books that Twilight with caring and placed them back on their respective shelves where he got them from, and guided Twilight to the dining room, and as soon as she entered she gasped in surprise. The table was set with white tablecloth with gold trimming with many types of foods and desserts. While all being, illuminated with candlelight. It looked like something you would read from an odd cheesy romance novel. She slowly turned back towards Solarium with her mouth agape. "Solarium, you know that we did not need to do something like this to make the trip romantic. Us spending time together here, Its romantic enough as is."

At hearing this Solarium ears flat. Thinking that he may have over did a little and made Twilight upset that was until she kissed him on the cheek. "But that doesn't mean I don't like this surprise."

At hearing this Solarium being. "Well then, shall we eat our candle lit dinner?"

"Lets."

The two sat down and began eating than supper, talking conversing with each other. By the time they got to their desert. They were laughing at each others jokes. Solarium could be very funny when he wanted to. Which made Twilight wonder why when Celestia tries to be funny the jokes would never make sense. Solarium loved the joke that Twilight was telling him. But in all truth, they were jokes that Pinkie had told her back in her time. Eventually Solarium cleared his throat. "I really enjoyed spending this weekend together, just the two of us."

At hearing this Twilight gave him at cheery smile. "I did take this place was so magical. Thank you so much for bringing me here, the whole experience was just amazing."

At hearing that Solarium smiled. "I'm glad that you enjoyed yourself. Listen, we got to know each other quite well since you came to this timeframe three years ago. I know that you have to return to your timeframe at some point."

At hearing this Twilight started to feel a little nervous. Thinking that Solarium was planning on breaking up with her something. Seeing this Solarium was nervous on what he was going to say next, but decided to press on. "But I want to look forward to something when you return to your time, so Twilight will you marry me?"

Right at that moment Solarium pulled out a ring that would matched the design as the infinity book. In the center was of fire opal shaped as the sun. With 4, 5 pointed amethyst stars to on each side of the sun gem. In the center of the sun six pointed rhodolite garnet star. But there was one unique thing that made it different to the infinity book. In the center of the six pointed star was on mystic topaz heart shape gem all on gold ring.

note the pictures of the gems are just to show what the colors look like the name of the gem is to the left of the picture of said gem.

At seeing this Twilight's mouth was agape the gears in her head stopped right there. But that didn't last long just as fast as her mind stopped, it began to race faster than Rainbow Dash doing a Sonic Rainboom. (Okay I know I'd just told my that I'm going to follow My heart but I did not see this one coming! What I'm I supposed to do? Okay calm down you need to first clear my mind. Okay now what is my heart telling me. Well I really do love Solarium and he loves me to and he knows that I will at some point go back to my time. But he is willing to wait for me when I do return to my time.)

When Twilight was thinking of the answer, she should give. Solarium was beginning to wonder if he popped the question a little too soon or not. But, as soon as he was going to speak happen twilight started giving him of loving smile. "Solarium my answer is yes I would love to marry you."

At hearing this Solarium gave out a Pinkie Pie smile. Before leaning in and kissing Twilight, while placing the ring on her horn. Which Twilight kiss back after they ended their kiss they decide to go to bed. They also agreed-upon not sharing a bed until after the wedding. So they were still sleeping in separate rooms.

~~~ End of chapter 18 ~~~

Chapter 19

~~~ Last Time (We were in the present. [Chapter 15])~~~

Twilight gave him a loving smile. "Solarium my answer is yes I would love to marry you."

~~~ And now... ~~~

The next day the Royal guards that transported them to the cabin came back to take him back to the Castle. But as soon as they saw the ring that was on gold chain necklace around Twilight's neck. They gave a look of shock at first but then began to show congratulating smiles. Soon after, they headed off. They eventually reached Everfree Castle where not only Luna was waiting. But also as a surprise, Queen Cosmos and King Artemis were standing next to Luna. As soon as the carriage landed and Solarium and Twilight walked out. The three other Alicorn's saw the ring around Twilight's neck. Which caused Luna to squeal and rushed up to hug Twilight. While Cosmos and Artemis walked over to their son and gave to him and embrace. Artemis was also rubbing his hoof on Solarium's head saying. "That's my boy."

As soon as on the congratulating was over. Luna and Cosmos started giving out a devious smiles. Grabbed Twilight and rushed her back to Luna's bed chambers. When all the while leaving King Artemis and very shocked and bewildered Solarium. "Father, what just happened?"

At hearing this Artemis chuckled to. "More than likely there going to try to start getting your wedding preparations started. But before any of that can happen you and I need a go back to Canterlot talk with the Council about this marriage."

At hearing this Solarium looked puzzled. "Why do I need to talk to the Royal Council of about marrying Twilight?"

At hearing this Artemis side. "Because: One Twilight is not from this time, and Two she is not using her full real name. Shimmer is not a part of her real name its something else is. This would lead to problems on your marriage certificate. So we need to work on the compromise with the Royal Council. I spoke about this with your mother and sister and that is part of the reason why they grabbed Twilight. To keep her distracted, while you and I go talk to the Council about it. So then she doesn't get a panic attack. If she had won around now the Royal Council will be even harder to convince them to let that happen. So you and I need to go now."

At hearing this Solarium began to worry. He never thought up about any of what his father just said to him, when he proposed to Twilight. So he nodded his head in agreement and with that the two teleported off to Canterlot.

~~~ Meanwhile, back in the future... ~~~

Twilight's friends and family made it to Canterlot Castle. Now sitting in front of Celestia and Luna, wondering what had happened to Twilight. Meanwhile, Discord finally got done assembling the analyzing device. Placed the rainbow matrix gem in the scanning spot and activated the machine to begin analyzing the gem. What no one expected was that the whole Council was in the room. As well, along with Prince Blueblood, which apparently overheard that there was something the Council needs to hear as well. So he thought he would try to butter up his aunt. By bringing round of the Council of bringing him to that room so she could only explain it once, but in all truth. He made things a lot harder for Celestia since she wanted the deal telling the two groups separate. For once in a long time Celestia did not know what to do when it came to explaining this to her little ponies. Discord seeing this as well as seeing that some of the ponies were getting up inpatient. Mainly the Council because they think they're all high and mighty. And don't need to be here and Twilight's mother. So he thought he could maybe give Celestia bit more time by making it will excuse for them to wait a little longer. "Aren't we waiting for word two more ponies to get here. Speaking of them where are they?"

At hearing this, the group of ponies got a little frustrated at hearing that they need wait for two more ponies. To get here before they can get answers while Celestia was grateful for discord help. "Thank you for reminding me Discord and yes, hopefully they'll be here soon."

Blueblood was getting impatient. He began to wonder who could they possibly be waiting for so he decided to speak up. "Princess Celestia who could we possibly be waiting for? Can't we start without them?"

At that moment a flash a light started imitating inside the room. The light faded and revealed two Alicorn's and while a few ponies recognized them as Artemis and Cosmos. Everypony else were in shock at seeing them. At this point Celestia chuckled. "Mother, father so glad you could make it. Everyone here are the King and Queen of Equestria. King Artemis and Queen Cosmos. They were taking a very long extensive vacation. If any of you were wondering where they have been all this time."

At hearing this. Everybody immediately bowed down before the two new Alicorn that just appeared. They stayed like that until Artemis cleared her throat. "Rice we have much to talk about that involves miss Twilight."

At hearing this Shining began to give out worried look for his sister. "What happened to my little sister is she all right?"

At hearing this Cosmos, gave doubt a sympathetic look. "It's kind of a long story you see. The gem that Discord is analyzing we know for a fact did not in prison her inside the gem. But sent her back in time. It changed her coat, mane and even her Cutie Mark. It sent her to around 200 years before discord ever came to Equestria."

At hearing this everyone gasped. Since there was no written record of any other Alicorn than Celestia and Luna. At least until Cadance and Twilight came into the picture in time frame. In fact, they didn't even know that they had a King and Queen. At that moment Rainbow Dash decided to as the question that everyone wanted that know. "Hold up there is no history records about Alicorn Twilight. In fact, there is no records of you to either so I want to know everything, now."

Rarity gasped at Rainbow's remark. "Rainbow dash you do not do something like that to royalty!"

But just then King Artemis began to chuckle. "She still got spunk. No wonder sheet the bearer of the element of loyalty."

At hearing this, everypony's jaws went agape, including Celestia's and Luna. Which as soon as she regained her composure Luna took the initiative to ask. "How would you know that Rainbow is the bearer of loyalty. Sure Celestia and I can send you letters whenever we want. But you never let us know what disguised forms you two took. In fact, you said you were going changing your appearances time to time. I would highly doubt you would go anywhere where Celestia and I would be able to see you often. So you couldn't possibly be been in Ponyville often could you?"

At hearing this Artemis gave them a mischievous grin. "I wouldn't be so certain about that. You don't know. We might have hid in plain sight. Which reminds me."

King Artemis nodded to his wife. Which Queen Cosmos began to levitate something from behind her towards Pinkie pie. "Pinkie Pie would you mind playing with the twins for us?"

Just then Cosmos magic bubble faded away, revealing Pumpkin Cake and Pound Cake. But instead of Pumpkin being a unicorn and Pound being a Pegasus they both were now Alicorn foals. Seeing this that element bearers, Spike and Discord's mouth's all went agape. Knowing exactly who those twins belong to and began realizing that Mr. and Mrs. cake were really the King and Queen of all Equestria in disguise. The nobles, Cadance Signing and Twilight's parents were shocked at seeing two new members of the Royal family on top of the King and Queen. While Celestia was, shocked at finding out she got two new siblings and Luna was being, shocked that she was now an older sister. Pinkie was the first to speak. "You mean to tell me your Mr. and Mrs. Cake? You mean to tell me that I've been working in a bakery with the King and Queen of all Equestria?!"

At that moment, Artemis and Cosmos began chuckling nervously. While Celestia and Luna were giving them a death glares with also telepathic message saying. *How could you give us more siblings and not tell us right away about it!* Which made the two even more nervous. "Yes, sorry about that. We just wanted to not be, treated as royalty during our vacation and it was kind and it up like that. Although I wish we would put two and two together on the whole Twilight Sparkle and Twilight Shimmer being one in the same since we did asked her not to tell us her full name and she needed to change a part of her name," she lamented.

At that moment Applejack had a question that came up to her. "Now wait a second. How were you able to hide the cake twins Alicorn forms when you were giving birth Cosmos?"

"Oh, that's an easy one. I place an illusion spell on the twins when they were still in Cosmos womb. The day before she gave birth in fact. You see male Alicorn's can sense the day when their foals are being born."

Hearing this, Applejack replied. "All right, let's get back to Twilight, shall we."

Artemis nodded his head in agreement. "Now when Twilight ended up in the past she bumped into Celestia, But Celestia was not Celestia at that time."

Upon hearing this, everyone was, confused and Twilight Velvet decided to ask the question. "What do you mean Celestia was not Celestia back all those years ago?"

At this Celestia sighed. "They're saying I was not a mare back all those years ago. In truth I'm really a stallion in disguise my name is Celestia. However, my real name is Solarium."

chapter 20

~~~ Last Time... ~~~

"Let's get back to Twilight, shall we."

Artemis nodded his head in agreement. "Now when Twilight ended up in the past she bumped into Celestia, But Celestia was not Celestia at that time."

Upon hearing this, everyone was, confused and Twilight Velvet decided to ask the question. "What do you mean Celestia was not Celestia back all those years ago?"

At this Celestia sighed. "They're saying I was not a mare back all those years ago. In truth I'm really a stallion in disguise my name is Celestia. However, my real name is Solarium."

~~~ ...and now we return! ~~~

And hearing this. Everyone's mouths went agape they didn't know what to think. Especially the Council because they began to wonder how in all of Equestria, there no record of this! Especially from their ancestors private records. That was until King Artemis decided to but in. "Let me explain the situation with Twilight first, then you guys can ask questions about it. Then the issue with Twilight and Solarium becoming Celestia. Are, mixed together in some ways."

At hearing this, everyone look towards each other. Before turning back towards King Artemis, all of them nodding their heads in agreement. "As I was saying Solarium found Twilight in the ever free forest. He and Luna decide to let her stay at the Everfree Castle. You all know it as the Castle of the two sisters. During this time Canterlot Castle was where Cosmos and I resided in eventually. The day before the first Hearts Warming that Twilight with their. Solarium and Twilight decided to go out with each other. And become each other special some pony's."

At hearing this and everyone's mouth were agape and they began to stare at Celestia. Seeing this Artemis sighed knowing that in all likelihood, he would not be able to go any farther until their questions had been, answered about this topic. "Okay, ether Celestia or I'll call you by name or your appearance and you can ask Celestia a question. Okay first one, Twilight Velvet."

"When you took my daughter was your student did you fall in love with her?"

"Under normal circumstances a Alicorn stallion can tell who their soulmates are. And know where they are 24 seven after they meet them for the first time. But with the fact that I met Twilight old herself in approximately 1200 years ago. I did not believe she existed yet in our time. And if the Alicorn stallion believes that his true love is dead or otherwise does not exist. The sensing ability does not work. Unless they start believing that their true love is alive again. Furthermore, I literally thought that Twilight shimmer was Twilight sparkle's niece or grandniece. So no I was not romantically in love with Twilight sparkle when she was growing up."

As soon as Celestia answered the question. Night Light's hoof went down because it was the same question. "Cadence your question."

"I'm happy that you and Twilight found each other since I'm all about truelove and such. But it's going to be really weird when she gets back to our time."

"I made a promise to her that no matter what our relationship is in our time. Or in the past we will work it out and I will do everything in my power to have it all work out. I was willing to make it work, and she is the reason why I became a mare in the first place."

At hearing this, everyone gave her a puzzled look. So Cosmos decided to explain it to them for Celestia. "You see a crazy unicorn try to kill Solarium. The spell that was, meant to kill Solarium but hit Twilight instead. we are hoping that somehow, someway we were able to make her back into this time frame, and she is not really dead."

At hearing this all Twilight's loved one's began crying. Because they start fearing the worst for her. Cosmos felt guilty for having to say that but she decided to press on. "During when this if it happens, the two were still together. In fact, they were married and before anyone asks about that. We will speak about that in a moment, but please, let me finish."

When they heard Cosmos statement about to asking about the whole marriage thing. For now they all put their hoofs down. "Thank you. Anyway, Solarium tried to mourn for Twilight's death. Which, while he got some time to mourn for her because everyone felt sorry for his loss. After only a little while, mares, especially the high nobility would try to comfort him. And I mean they try to break into his room and try to proclaim their love to him. It was bad. So Solarium decided that he would turn himself into a mare. He talked to the Royal Council about it along with Artemis and me. Because a lot of the council members own daughters were making a fool of themselves and with in a so many ways dishonoring their names by their behavior. The Council agreed to let Solarium become Celestia, but there was a catch. If Solarium ever found out the identity of Twilight shimmer and find out her real name. He has to go back to being a stallion. Which intertwined with another agreement, the one involving the wedding. The agreement was: as soon as Twilight shimmer went back to her time frame. She would have to let Solarium know that it was her and they had to do a remarriage. That actually is the general sense of everything we really need to talk about so you can ask as many questions as you want. But before we do that. I believe Celestia has the documents relating to those two agreements."

Celestia nodded her head and levitated the documents to the Council. The Council began reading them while Shining decided to ask his own question. "Is there any chance that Twilight survived that attack and just somehow returned to our time?"

At hearing this Luna, Celestia, Cosmos and Artemis all looked glum. Artemis took the initiative to speak. "I am sorry, I have no idea how the gem works. The only one who can answer that now is Discord."

At hearing this, everyone look towards Discord who knew what they wanted to know. "As I told Luna, there could be two identical rainbow matrix gems in appearance but can do two different things then that the other and there are some that do the same exact thing, but look completely different from each other. Now I've have encountered three different types of rainbow matrix gems that specialize in time travel. But I do not want to say anything until I know which one. I don't want to get anyone's hopes up nor do I want to discourage anyone. All I want everyone to keep an open mind until I know. Which unfortunately since I have and use this device in over 4000 years. It is a bit slow on the intake and I can't use any of my magic because it will just wreck the machine. My best suggestion is have some Royal guards. Guard this with their lives until the analyzing is over. I'll let you know as soon as I see the results."

At hearing this, everyone nodded their heads in agreement. At that moment the head of the Council decided to speak next. "Well, all these documents check clear. But we would like Celestia to stay as Celestia. At least until we get done talking to the news media. So why don't we have it where Celestia can remain as Celestia and don't have to transform back into Solarium. Until we know what is Princess Twilight fate

Everyone nodded their heads in agreement and Celestia cleared her throat. "Well, the Council and I need to start talking to the news media about this. But you're welcome to stay until we know for a fact what happened to Twilight. Luna, can you show to where they can stay and meet me in the news conference room?"

At hearing this Luna nodded her head. "Certainly come on everybody."

Just then Cosmos good up. "Solarium your father and I are coming with you. Pinkie would you mind watching the twins for us?"

"Of course I love watching the cake twins! Or is it the Royal twins now?"

As the rest of the element bearers, Spike and Twilight's family followed Luna. Just then Fluttershy just thought of something. "Um Princess Luna how long did Solarium and Twilight date each other before he popped the wedding question to her?"

At hearing this, everyone look towards Luna for the answer. Which they were quite surprised that Cadence didn't even bother to ask this question. "Oh, they dated for three years before Solarium asked Twilight to marry him."

At hearing that they all nodded their heads and continued following Luna to the sleeping quarters they would use during their stay.

~~~ Next time: We return to the past! ~~~

chapter 21

~~~ Last Time... ~~~

At hearing this, everyone look towards Luna for the answer. Which they were quite surprised that Cadance didn't even bother to ask this question. "Oh, they dated for three years before Solarium asked Twilight to marry him."

At hearing that they all nodded their heads and continued following Luna to the sleeping quarters they would use during their stay.

~~~ And now: Back in the past... ~~~

Artemis, and Solarium just got back from talking to the Royal Council that resulted in a agreement permitting them to have the wedding and got all the written documents and and anything else. They needed to make the Council happy to oblige. Which took until supper time. So the two were heading toward the dining room. Which was, interrupted when Twilight rushed over to them were all yelling out. "HIDE ME!" And went right behind them.

At this, the two stallions were very confused that was until Cosmos and Luna appeared. "Oh, hello darling and Solarium have you seen Twilight? We still have so many things to talk about, the wedding."

Artemis and Solarium looked at each other then back to Cosmos and Luna. Which the two mares look like they ate so much sugar that the two were ready to do a marathon. Worried for Twilight well-being Solarium decided to buy on her whereabouts. "Yes a saw her starting to head towards Luna's bed chambers."

And with that the two mares left. As soon as they looked like the coast was clear. Twilight stopped hiding behind Solarium and Artemis. "Thanks, they've been going at it for some time."

Artemis was a bit concerned on what was going on. "That's all right, but what is going on?"

At hearing this Twilight side. "As soon as we made it to Luna's bed chambers they started talking about the wedding. At first I was fine with it. But then they started going every which way about it, and they wouldn't even let me speak my mind about any of it! As if I was a little kid, not knowing what the wedding was about. I helped plan a while wedding before for relative of mine wedding in my timeframe. So I know what to do and such. While the first things you need to do was pick out a day. Then you have to figure out who you are inviting then you to figure out who's doing the catering. Then the location of the wedding figure out the bridesmaids, groomsmen the mare of honor. Decide whether or not you're going to have flower girls are ring boy. Figure out where the reception would be pick on a wedding dress. Pick out who's in charge of the music and then other little odds and ends. This is normally decisions that the bride and groom need to do. I am happy that they want to help, but shouldn't Solarium and I have a say in the matter?"

At hearing this, the two stallions gave her apologetic looks. Before Artemis decided to speak the more. "You're right, and will bring it up to them later. Right now. We should start heading to the dining Hall. I'm pretty sure you must be starving from running away from those two for some time."

And with that, the three headed to the arts the dining room. They made it to the dining room and sat down and not long after them. Luna and Cosmos made it in before either one of the two could say a word King Artemis stepped. "Cosmos Luna. I know you two are, excited but it's supper time and I don't think Twilight wants to talk about the wedding. Since neither one of you allowed her have her say on the matter. Besides, you two should help her plan the wedding, not take over the plans for the wedding. While Solarium and I did that little errand."

At hearing this Cosmos and Luna remorseful looks while Twilight gave out a confused look. "What errand did you and Solarium have to do?"

At this, the two stallions looked of old it all bit worried. "Well, you see, we knew the Council may be would be a little bit unhappy with you and Solarium getting married with you. Not using your full real name, but they know about your situation so they may have made a compromise; when you do return back to your time you will have another wedding. Meaning you remarry with Solarium."

Everyone was expecting her to freak out, but she looked calm. "Wow your time frame councils are more negotiable then my timeframe. I'm impressed."

At that moment all the Royal family's mouths were agape at what they just heard. Before looking at each other and began to laugh and continue on with their supper. As soon as they were done, Solarium asked Twilight is he could speak with her alone. She happily agreed and the two headed off to his private study. As soon as the two got in there Solarium data what was on his mind. "I'm sorry if my mother and Luna when they were a bit much."

"It okay, I understand completely. Although there is one thing about the catering we need a talk of about. Since it's probably not popular in your time."

At hearing this Solarium gave her a puzzled look. "What could be so important about the catering in your time that we would need to discuss?"

"Nothing much just the wedding cake."

At hearing this Solarium looked at her, trying to see if she was joking or not. "Wedding cake?"

Twilight nodded her head. "Right, since you didn't know what cake was when you took me to that café. Around the time I first got here, it's probably a safe bet that wedding cakes are not normally done in the time. But in my time it's a tradition for the bride and groom to cut the first slice of cake at the wedding reception."

At hearing this Solarium chuckled. He didn't know that something like that would become a wedding tradition in the future. But he liked the idea since it meant that there would always be cake at wedding receptions. Which made it all the more appealing to go to now that he had something to look forward to. "Really?"

At hearing what Solarium said, and the look in his eye Twilight knew that he liked this tradition. "Yes really normally the cake is, covered in white frosting. With maybe some pink, blue, purple flowers on it, and I mean the flowers are, made of icing. The flavor of the cake itself can be whatever the bride and groom chooses which is something we need to discuss. Also, how many layers of cake is dependent on how many guests will have."

At hearing the layers. Part Solarium looked puzzled. "Layers?"

At hearing this Twilight chuckled. "You see the bottom layer would be the biggest of the cake layers. Then the second-biggest would be on top of that, and the third. Than the so on and so on until you make it to the top, but they give cake I ever saw was at 10 layer cake."

At hearing this Solarium began to drool just imagining the size of that cake. Which Twilight saw this and hit him on his shoulder. "Ouch what was that for?"

"I need you to focus we need to decide on what flavor. Do you want vanilla, chocolate, marble, which is chocolate and vanilla together. Do you want dark chocolate, do you want strawberry? Do you want lemon do you want pumpkin? Do you want chary cake or pick more than one flavor? And figure out which flavored this stack on top of what other flavor?"

At hearing some of the choices Solarium wanted to drool some more. But became worried that he would get another hit on his shoulder. So he decided it to focus more on decision-making. "Well why not go with for flavors. The bottom line being dark chocolate than the one above it required chocolate. Then, marble then finally vanilla and we keep redoing this pattern on till we have all the layers we need."

Twilight thought about this for a moment and nodded her head in agreement. "All right, that sounds like a plan. We'd just need to figure out how many ponies we are going to invite before we can decide how many layers for the cake. So where do you want the wedding to be, held?"

Solarium thought about this for a moment. "I seeing it would be best to have the wedding in Canterlot. Since there are very few ponies that would dare enter the Everfree forest."

"All right, we got that taken care of we'd just need to decide if the catering will be done by your parents cooks, or hire someone else to do it and where the reception will be held and many others."

"So where do you want the wedding to be, held?"

Solarium thought about this for a moment. "I say it would be best to have the wedding in Canterlot. Since there are very few ponies that would dare enter the Everfree forest."

"All right, we got that taken care of we'd just need to decide if the catering will be done by your parents cooks, or hire someone else to do it and where the reception will be held and many others."

~~~ And now we return... ~~~

It has been five months since Twilight and Solarium got engaged and ever since. Solarium's family found out that they were thinking about having the wedding in Canterlot. His mom pretty much began taking care of everything. The only thing that Solarium or Twilight had their way was: what food was going to be served, the color schemes, and what the brides and bridesmaids dresses would look like. Apparently Cosmos has been secretly planning for her to children's wedding's since they were born. Which made both Solarium and Twilight worried for Luna when ever she gets engaged to someone. It also made Twilight wonder if Cosmos is already begun planning for the remarriage when she returned to her time?

Today Cosmos was having Twilight try on any different wedding dresses and no, they were not going store to store to trying on dresses. Cosmos had brought in the 25 best fashion designers of this time frame. And had each one of them, make as many different type of wedding dresses as they could think of. And now she was having Twilight try them all on. While she and Luna watched Twilight try them on and provided their opinions on each dress. And there were a lot of dresses. News had spread about the wedding. Pretty much a week after Twilight and Solarium got engaged fashion designers from all over Equestria began designing wedding dresses. As well as dresses for those who were going to attend the wedding. A month and a half after everyone on found out about the wedding. Cosmos contacted the 25 fashion designers and told them that they would be competing. For designing the dress for Twilight. Which by the time they got the letters each one of them already made five different wedding dresses. In hopes of the young prince soon to be bride wear, meaning 125 dress is for Twilight to try on. But those dresses were not only originally made for Twilight, they were designs inspired from hearing about the wedding, so they were going to be for sale to anyone... At least originally. Now that they knew that they had a chance to have one of there dresses worn by Twilight. They started making dresses more fit for royalty. Since it only took the a month and a half make five wedding dresses... By the time the five months came each one of the 25 fashion designers had made 40 dresses each. This meant that Twilight was trying on 1000 wedding dresses. By that time Twilight got to the 100th dress. She was already getting annoyed and me of a mental note and solemn vow. That when she returns back to her time and has to redo her wedding. That no matter how much Cosmos complains Rarity would be the one making her new dress. Since she just knew Cosmos was going to say that "since Solarium saw her wedding dress from their first marriage. It would be in poor taste to use it again for the remarriage." Either that or the dresses would be so old that it would be gone from existence once a 1000 years had past... or Luna will destroyed it from when she became Nightmare Moon. Anyways right now Twilight was wearing. A big puffy white dress with up big pink bow on it with his gold trimming everywhere. Which to be honest, Twilight thought it made her look like she was a well decorated and marshmallow. But Cosmos thought otherwise. "Oh Twilight you look adorable in that outfit."

But Luna was taking Twilight side on this. "Are you kidding me mother. She looks like a snow mare that was, gifted with some Boa constrictor trying to look fancy pink bow. With some gold pink painted on it."

At hearing this Twilight began to chuckle. "Actually, I thought I looked like a well decorated and marshmallow. But I can see where you're coming from."

At hearing this Cosmos frowned. "Well, we need to pick a dress."

"Yes Cosmos but this is only dressed number 978, and besides. I really prefer simple not big and elaborate type of a dress kind of a mare."

At hearing this Luna started looking through the remaining dresses. To see if there was anything up bit more of Twilight style she kept at this until one caught her eye . It was a white dress with gold trimming around the neck and bottom of the dress, the trimming was a pattern of the sun. There was of dark purple ribbon around the waist. Which at attached the dress to a clear see-through fabric. That had light purple and gold would are seeping through it. The matching shoes were gold shoes with white roses with purple tips on the pedals. With of matching veil that match the see-through fabric. With matching white with purple trimming rose. Luna thought about for a moment and out of everything she was saying at the moment. This was probably the most simplest, yet elegant dress among the choices. So she levitated towards Twilight. "Here try this dress. I think you might like this one better."

At seeing the dress, both Cosmos and Twilight cast at the dress, both in awe of it. So Twilight levitated the dress, and its accessories that came with it and went. Into her designated fitting room and put it on. When she left the fitting room, both Cosmos and Luna gasped and knew that this dress what the one. "Oh Twilight you look beautiful."

"I have to agree with my daughter on this one, you look absolutely stunning."

At hearing this Twilight looked at her reflection in the mirror before asking. "Do you really think so?"

White in unison. The two both said. "It was truly made for you."

At hearing this Twilight smiled and looked towards the 25 designers. To see which one of them made the dress. However 24 simply looked confused, While the last one looked as if he knew the dress, but could not take credit for it. So Twilight walked up to that stallion. "An excuse me? But by the way your looking at this dress, it seems like you're familiar with it, but you were not the one who made it. You know who did?"

He looked a little bit more nervous being directly talk to but he answered. "My daughter. She wants to be a fashion designer like me when she grows up she really wanted to come but I told her not to come. Then she is only 10 years old she must the place did in between some of my other dresses."

At hearing this Twilight gave him a serene smile that could help calm down. "10 years old. That's very impressive. I think the only other mare I know that is that talented is one of my dear friends from where I'm from. I hope that she makes it, in the fashion business, and I would be more than honored to wear this on my wedding day."

At hearing this, the stallion's mouth with a gaped shocked at what he heard. Along with the other 24 fashion designers while. Queen Cosmos started levitating a bag of bits that she promised. She would give to the designer who made the dress. Along with the 25 smaller bags, but like the others. "Please take this at to your daughters her as I promised. For her, making the dress for my future daughter-in-law and all of you, along with yourself. Take these small bag of bits for compensation for coming here with your dresses."

At this the 25 fashion designers took the small bags of bits. Plus one extra bag of bits for the father of the one who made the dress and left. There wasn't even a need for tailoring as it ended up fitting Twilight perfectly.

At this they all left. There wasn't even a need for tailoring as it ended up fitting Twilight perfectly.

~~~ and now... We have a wedding!!! ~~~

Another six months of planning for her wedding and it finally came together! But it all came down to this. The wedding day and Twilight was waiting at the door waiting for the wedding to begin. The music began to play, and she started walking down the aisle. King Artemis was doing the part that Celestia did for her brother's wedding. While cosmos and Luna stood on her side of the tour while Star swirl was standing next to Solarium. As soon as Solarium saw Twilight he felt as if his breath was, taken away by her beauty. She soon made it to the altar they started to go through the procession of the wedding. Soon as that was over, they presented each other with their rings King Artemis finally said. "I finally pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride."

The two leaned in and kissed each other and everyone began to applaud. Artemis then began to speak once more. "I now present to you , Prince Solarium and Princess Twilight."

Everyone began to applaud even louder as the two started walking down the aisle. The two started heading over to the courtyard for the reception. At the reception everyone was having fun all though Solarium ate four slices of cake. From the four different flavor cake wedding cake. Which when he started eating the fourth slice of cake Twilight decided to be a little bit of a prankster. She focused some of her magic on Solarium's plate. Which was sitting on a table and had it go straight toward his muzzle as soon as it hit everyone gasped in surprise. He looked around wondering how that happened until Twilight began to laugh. "I'm sorry but you are eating too much cake and also you left your self open. So I thought that this was an easy opening for one of the oldest cake pranks of my time."

At hearing this Luna began to laughing and also started thinking that now she had a new tactic on her brother. When it came to pranks. Soon Cosmos and Artemis joined in on the laughter and not too long after they began laugh. Solarium soon joined in on the laughter. He had to admit it was very humorous. Soon the reception was over and before Solarium and Twilight left for their honeymoon. Before they left Twilight's through the bouquet of flowers. Which it ended up in Luna's hooves. This made Luna shock at first. But only moments later she became mortified... as soon as her mother pulled out some papers with the front piece of paper saying 'Plans for Luna's wedding' on the top. Seeing this, the two newly wedded couple began to laugh. As the chariot started taking the two back to Solarium, private cabin.

~~~

By the time they reached the cabin it was late. So they decide to go to bed so they went into what was once Solarium's bedroom in the cabin. Which is now both of theirs and went to bed with Solarium placing a wing over Twilight. She was the first one to fall asleep all the while Solarium was thinking in his head. (She is lovely when she's sleeping and I'm very lucky to have found her. I'm not looking forward to when she returns back to our time, but I'll wait for her and I will find her in our future.)

And with that Solarium kiss just below Twilight's horn. "I love you Twilight in no matter nothing will separate us forever, I will always find you and I'll keep you safe. I promise." and with that Solarium laid his head and fell asleep as well.

The two stayed at the cabin for two weeks during which they pretty much did the same exact thing they did when they were at the cabin during hearts and hoofs day. The only difference was any time the two had separated before, they would instead remain together. Eventually it was time for them to go back home and so they got on the chariot and headed back to Everfree Castle. As soon as the two returned they saw Luna waiting for them. Luna was smiling and waving towards him, but Solarium saw a look in her eye and knew that something was up. "Welcome back, you two. How was your honeymoon?"

Twilight smiled and gave Luna a hug. "It was great. Thank you for asking. Although before we left we decided to go on one more nature hike and I'm pretty tired. I think I'm going to take a nap."

At this Solarium smiled. "That is a great idea. I think I will join you in a little bit. I need to ask Luna if there is anything has happened since we left. You never know if Luna and my parents need to go on a diplomatic meeting. And need us to take care of Equestria while they are gone."

At hearing this Twilight nodded her head and started heading towards Solarium's bed chambers. Which on the day before they left for Left for the wedding. Placed all of her things in his room except for the bed that she was using in Luna's chambers. Which during their honeymoon was, removed from Luna's room and was, placed. In a different room for future guest. As soon as Solarium sensed that Twilight was far enough where she could not hear, he looked toward his sister. "All right, I know that look, some thing's up. What's going on?"

At that moment Luna gave out a solemn look. Which made Solarium think that the Star swirl figured out how to send Twilight back to future. But it was worse, far worse. "You remember those renegade ponies we thought we took care of 10 years ago. The ones that want to kill mother, father you and me?"

At hearing this Solarium paled hearing what his sister was about to say. "Yes I remember them quite well. Why I thought they all died when they accidentally blow themselves up in their main hideout?"

"That's what all of us thought, but two days after your wedding day we got a threating letter from the one who we thought was the deceased leader of the organization. We compared it against old threat letters that were from him and their a perfect match. Father has the letter. But I did memorize what it said and in short. He said that he will not rest until either he takes his last breath, or the Royal family takes their last breath."

At hearing this Solarium's heart sank and he began to tremble in fear. Fear for Twilight because since he married her. She is now technically part of the Royal family which in turn places her in danger. He promised to protect her and now he finds out that he's placing her in danger. But then his tremble of fear became a trembling of rage and his hair started catching on fire. "He is not going to get away with this. He's not going to hurt mother. He's not one hurt father. He's not going to hurt you and he is not going to hurt Twilight!"

Luna was expecting him to react this way in all truth. Their father acted the same way to some extent. The only difference was father's mane and tail did not set on fire. "Yes I know this, but should we tell Twilight about it, or should we keep it to ourselves? I would hate for her to have a panic attack because she gets paranoid about somepony trying to kill us all."

At hearing this Solarium froze once more. What Luna said was true Twilight seemed like the type of pony who would panic. At something like this and would be, scared for quite some time. This was partially because Twilight never told him about the times she defeated Nightmare Moon, Discord. Helped defeat Queen Chrysalis and help put a stop to King Sombra. She had stood up to one of his former students and how she went into full combat with Tirek.

But Solarium did not know any of this.

"You're right. I want to the start increasing security in the Castle. And in the Castle grounds tell the guards that if she asks just to tell her that. I didn't want any jealous mares bugging us. And if she asks you tell her that as well if Star swirl knows the situation tell him. The tell her that excuses well if she asks."

At this Luna nodded. "Right away. I'll also will send mother and father a letter about your decision on the matter, and the reasons why. I hope they'll see it the way we do."

"So do I, Luna so do I."

And with that the two went their separate ways. Luna going to tell though Royal guards and other staff about Solarium's decision. While Solarium was heading toward his bed chambers. He kept his guard up so that he would not make a mistake.

"You remember those renegade ponies we thought we took care of 10 years ago. The ones that want to kill mother, father you and me? Two days after your wedding day we got a threatening letter from the one who we thought was the deceased leader of the organization. We compared it against old threat letters that were from him and their a perfect match. Father has the letter. But I did memorize what it said and in short. He said that he will not rest until either he takes his last breath, or the Royal family takes their last breath."

"and now that I married Twilight, she is on that list." Solarium stated angrily.

~~~ Ba Da Da Da! ~~~

Solarium finally made it back to his bed chambers, and opened his door. To see that Twilight was already sleeping peacefully in their bed. Seeing her like this calmed him down instantly, and yet made him worried for her well-being. But he walked towards their bed while removing his Royal regalia, hopped onto their bed and places a wing over her. As soon as he did she instinctively moved towards him and gave out a contented sigh. At seeing this. He smiled gently down towards her and kissed her below her horn. "I promise. No harm will come to you and even this crazy evil organization leader that's back from the dead, won't change that."

The next day after breakfast Twilight decided to head towards the library and Solarium had decided to accompanying her because he was getting a little paranoid with the threat. As the two began to read books in the library which, even though Solarium has seen this multiple times. It's still amazed him to see that Twilight could read so many books and memorize the content in that book in such a little time. When he first discovered this, he decided to quiz her from books that he had memorized. But she aced every single question he asked her. So he pretty much gave up and declared that she was a more book fanatic been Star Swirl, which he did not mind all that much. They stayed like this until lunchtime which the two decided to eat out in the Royal gardens. Even though Solarium really didn't want to eat outside since he was still running on paranoia regarding Twilight safety. He felt he couldn't bring it up because she would have a panic attack. As soon as they were done eating lunch they decided to have a stroll in the Royal gardens. At first Solarium was a bit worried, but at they wandered around the gardens. He began to calm down and begin to enjoy himself. But at the same time Twilight had begun to notice the little signs that showed something was up. Whether the being next to her was Solarium or Celestia, the little hints showed, but unlucky for Solarium. He let those little signs show better than Celestia. "Is something wrong?" At hearing this Solarium looked towards Twilight. While giving of very calm smile. "No everything's all right, why wouldn't it be?"

"Just asking. I almost thought that Discord had been messing with you or something."

At hearing this Solarium looked puzzled. "Discord who is he?"

At hearing this Twilight realized that she said something that he shouldn't know about. "I'm sorry it's future talk, but I guess I brought it up I'll give you the cliff notes about him. He's the spirit of chaos and disharmony, an enemy that was dealt with a long time ago in my time by the sixth gems called the elements of harmony, those were found on a tree called the tree of harmony. Which is hidden in a under ground cave somewhere near this Castle. Although the cave entrance seems to be buried currently. He was once evil. He was to be the first time you and Luna used the elements in this time. But when he broke free it was the Bearers of the elements of harmony which are six unique ponies. One of them the bare the element of magic was once your student. But some time later the element of kindness reform him by your orders now he uses his powers for good... At least chaotic-good."

At hearing this Solarium was, shocked at hearing this and decide to keep this on a mental note for the future. What Twilight didn't know was that this conversation was the whole reason Celestia and Luna was able to defeat Discord in the first place. Because Celestia remembered what Twilight told her back when she was Solarium. So the two continued on their walking and enjoying each others company.

It has been a month and a half since Solarium found out about the threat and he was finding it difficult keeping. The threat a secret from Twilight, while keeping her safe. Sure, most days Twilight like to spend her time. Either in the library's personal study or their bedroom to read a book. But sometimes she'll want to read a book outside. Which that's always worried him that the attacker could come at any point. But what really got him worried was when Twilight wanted to leave the Castle grounds to do something, and today was one of them. Apparently a comet that Luna only allows to appear once every thousand years was, scheduled to pass by tonight. Since Twilight was into astronomy and never seen this comet before. She really wanted to leave the Castle to see it. Apparently there was a hill that was outside the Everfree forest that. Twilight and her friends used to watch a meteor shower that only comes out every so often as well. Because of this Twilight wants to take Solarium and Luna there to watch it together. In fact, she was so excited about it she decided to make it as a surprise and didn't tell either one of them. Until that moment at breakfast and then preparing for it all by herself. As soon as the two Royals siblings heard this they both had the same reaction...

"WHAT!!!"

"I know. Isn't it exciting. As soon as Star Swirl told me last week that the United comet that's going to be able to be seen today I got so excited! Then I remembered that there was a meteor shower in my timeframe that my friends and I watched on this hill outside the Everfree forest. So I wanted to surprise you two by making preparations for it. I even sent a letter to your parents, but... Your parents told me that their wedding anniversaries today and that they wanted to watch the comment privately from their private cabin. Which if you had forgotten about their anniversary no need to worry. I already sent them a gift. It was something from all three of us. They said they liked it."

At hearing this, the two looked at each other. Both of them knew of the threat. And they both wanted to tell her that they really shouldn't go out tonight because of this threat. That they had neglected to tell her that said threat existed. Solarium was thinking about making an excuse, but then he thought about the fact that even though Luna knew that it was a bad idea, deep down she still wanted to do this because not many ponies enjoyed her nights and she wanted to see how Twilight time frame's response to something like one of her comets. So he gave in, but he was not going to give the supposed attacker an opportunity to strike. "That sounds lovely Twilight I can't wait to watch the comet with both of you, but were going to have to bring some night guards. With us since we're still dealing with some single mare's who are still a little jealous of you is that okay?"

"That's fine, I just want the three of us to enjoy the comet together, I'm fine with some extra ponies joining us. Besides I think I have a more then enough snack food for everypony."

At hearing this Solarium and Luna began laughing at what Twilight said, and she soon joined them.

~~~ End of chapter 23 ~~~

Chapter 25

~~~ Last Time... ~~~

Twilight decided to go watch a comet with Solarium and Luna!
Artemis and Cosmos are celebrating their wedding anniversary at their private cabin.
Twilight says she has a patent on snacks but will she bring enough?
Oh and some mad pony is out to get royal blood, but who cares about that!
It's time to go to! (Drum roll)(Cymbal)

~~~ Some hill off in the country side... ~~~

Later that night. The three Alicorn's, Star swirl and some lunar guards made it to the hill. As soon as they did, Twilight levitated the blanket onto the ground and started placing the snacks and drinks which were all sweets and some fruits. Twilight made sure to pack a lot of cupcakes and as soon as Solarium saw them he began to drool. This caused Luna to roll her eyes and some of her lunar guards to chuckle. They all sat down and began eating and drinking. The next thing Twilight prepared was for when the commit appeared. It was like any other comet. But instead of all white trail it. Had a them that matched Celestia's hair, which made Twilight wonder. If this comet was the inspiration behind Celestia's mane and tail coloration. Everypony who was there was in awe at the what they saw. Even Star swirl stopped writing his notes to watch the commit in amazement of it's beauty. Eventually Twilight leaned over to Solarium whom then draped his wing around her. He looked down towards her to see her smiling and enjoying the commit. Seeing this made him glad that he decided to take the risk and come out here tonight. He began looking back up towards the sky. Luna was enjoying the fact that everyone was loving the commit and decided to do something a little extra special for once with this commit. She channeled her magic and had a few shooting stars fly by the commit. But not in a way where it would take away attention from the comment. It just made the comment even more beautiful than it was by itself. Seeing this everyone gasped and oohed and awed at what they saw. It also made Twilight squeal in delight even Solarium was at a loss for words at what he was seeing. They'll Watching the comment and shooting stars. Soon the the shooting stars rushed pasted the comet and the shooting stars were gone, but not the comet it stayed on its course. It was, meant to stay flying past Equestria for a week. Anyways, and Luna began to lower the moon while Solarium began to raise the sun. As soon as their tasks were done. The two notice that Twilight began rubbing her eyes and yawning. Clearly showing signs that she was, tired and could probably use some rest. The group decided to skip breakfast when they get back to the castle. Since everyone had just finished eating the last of Twilight's snacks and were still pretty full from all the snacks they ate. Solarium placed his wing over Twilight once more. (He had stopped when Twilight decided to clean up everything and he started raising the sun.) So he started guiding her back towards the Everfree forest to get back to the Castle. But just as they were about to leave Solarium saw a figure from a corner of his eye. That did not look like one of Luna's lunar guards. He turned his head towards the figure to see of gray unicorn. With a white mane and tail with burns and cuts all over his body, wearing weapons around him. Seeing this Solarium's eyes widened reanalyzing who it was. The same unicorn that was the leader and more than and likely sole survivor of the organization. That what wishes to kill his family. Seeing the unicorn (unfortunately they never learned the name of unicorn.) Solarium pulled Twilight closer. Which because she was so tired really didn't pay much mind to it. But Luna saw this and look towards her brother then to where he was looking at. Only for her eyes to widen at seeing the unicorn. The lunar guards saw this as well. Turn towards the direction of their Princess was looking at. Only to see the unicorn as well. They turned their heads towards the Royals siblings to get their commands. Luna mouth out, the orders since they do not want to startle Twilight. "My guards and I will go after him, Solarium guard Twilight."

Solarium was about the protest until he was, cut off. "If you move your wing away from Twilight. She's going to get curious and will start looking around and then she'll see him with weapons. Which if she see that will more than likely cause a panic attack and we do not need right now."

Solarium hated to admit it, but his sister was right. So he nodded his head and began to lead Twilight to safety. But as soon as they took their first step the unicorn disappeared. It turned out it was an illusion. This whole time that the unicorn had stood there. Which only made everypony more nervous. Luna finally spoke up, and gave the guard instruction. "There's a good chance that that illusion was, placed there last night. So there is a good chance he's not even here it's best. If we all had back to the Castle and have the guards go on extra high alert."

Everyone nodded. Except for Twilight and she didn't really perceive what was going on due to her tiredness. They all went back to the Castle and as soon as the Royal guards checked five times, to be certain that the unicorn was not inside, Solarium and Twilight went in all with lunar guard behind them. Luna closed the doors while Solarium got Twilight to bed. As soon as he made sure she was comfortable in bed, he turned towards his sister. "What are we going to do? Last time we saw him he wasn't good at inclusion spells. He could make it look like he's in two places at once now!"

"I know. We'll just have to be extra cautious as well as keep a closer eye on Twilight for her safety. Hopefully Star swirl will be able to find a way to send her back to time. So then she would be sent into the future and out of harm's way. "

At that moment Solarium was starting to hope that Twilight would be, sent back to her time. Just so then this crazy unicorn would not harm her. "You're right. Let's hope we'll be able to send her back to her time for safety sake."

Luna nodded her head. "Anyways, I'm going to my room to get some rest. I would highly recommend you do the same. You won't be able to keep her safe. If you're tired."

"You're right, and thank you Luna."

"That's what siblings are for."

And with that Luna left. While Solarium put away his Royal regalia and went to bed and placed his wing over Twilight. But this time, pulled her close to him. Trying to make certain that Twilight was close to him so that he could shield her from any danger just in case that unicorn entered. Twilight did not really seem to mind since she started to snuggle up closer to him and gave a content sigh. Seeing this calm him down so he began to lay his head and closed his eyes.

~~~ Meanwhile, back in the future.... ~~~

Some of the Royal guards were watching the device that Discord had brought to analyze the rainbow matrix gem when all of a sudden it started beeping...

Chapter 26

~~~ Last Time... ~~~

After stargazing, a scarred pony waited for the royal trio as they were heading back to the castle, only it was just an illusion. (Also the siblings elected not to tell twilight about the threat...)

~~~ Meanwhile, back in the future.... ~~~

Some of the Royal guards were watching the device that Discord had brought to analyze the rainbow matrix gem when all of a sudden it started beeping. This understandably made the royal guards nervous since beeping typically meant something was about to explode. Considering the device belongs to Discord they were, worried this was actually a prank.

Just then Discord decided to check to see how the analyzing was going only to hear the beeping. "Oh, it's finally done on analyzing the gem."

At hearing this, the guards sighed in relief. Hearing that it was just done analyzing and was not going to explode (for once). Discord walked up to the machine and looked at the results. As soon as he did his eyes began to widen and he began to run out of the room. Deciding that it probably be best to tell Celestia first what the results were. Which made the guards wonder if Twilight will be saved from what Celestia and Luna thought was her death or if she really was doomed to die.

~~ Back in the past… ~~

It has been two months since the meteor shower and everything seemed to be fine… That is except for the fact that Twilight wouldn't stop throwing up from time to time. Twilight, finally was able to get some rest from feeling the need to throw up, at least for now. Solarium was sitting by the bed reading a book when a knock came at the door. "Who is it?"

"It's Luna."

"Come in," He replied.

Luna walked into the bed chambers and close the door. "How is she doing?"

"Better for now. She was able to eat some vegetable soup and drink some water before falling back asleep. She has been asleep for an hour at least, which is the longest she's been asleep ever since she been sick."

"Well, that's a good sign. This all started just yesterday, so if she’s able to get more sleep now than she did before. It must be a sign that she's getting better."

"I guess you're right."

Just then someone knocked on the door once more and at hearing the door being, knocked Solarium sighed. "Who is it?"

"Blade Striker Sir, we have a problem in yours in your sister's throne room."

At hearing this, the two looked towards each other in puzzlement. "What do you mean trouble in the throne room?"

"It's so clear and sole survivor of that organization that after your Royal family. He in the throne room, with multiple holograms of himself. At first, we thought it was only holograms, but then he actually knocked over something. While since holograms can’t do that we know one of them is the real deal. He says that if you and Luna did not come in the throne room within the next half hour. He will leave his holograms to keep us distracted and will come hunting for you himself. And he said if possible he’ll bring harm to Twilight first before getting to you and Luna."

At hearing this, both Solarium and Luna exchanged fearful looks and slowly started looking towards Twilight. If that unicorn did start looking for them and found Twilight in the state that she was in. They would really need to worry up about her freaking out. That is if she could even get away with her sickness. The two nodded their heads while Luna answered the Royal guard. "Very well will head to the throne room. But make certain that two Royal guards are assigned to these doors and that they stay put along with yourself. Twilight is very sick and we can't risk her getting hurt if the unicorn gets away from us."

"Yes, Princess."

Solarium walked over to his wife and kissed her. The low her horn. "I'll be back as soon as I can please just be asleep and safe while in gone."

And with that, the two left the bed chambers and started heading towards the throne room. As soon as they reached it, they saw the unicorn armed and prepared. "Ah, the Royals siblings, so nice that you two have taken the time to grace me with your presence. Although this is the end for you two."

"Wrong, even though there are many illusions of yourself that's all that they are, illusions. There is clearly only one of you and many of us with our guards you cannot win."

"Really, that will just have to have the guards in the throne room take a nap."

As soon as he said that all the guards fell unconscious and were sleeping in moments. The two Alicorn's just stared but they couldn't stay like that for long since the unicorn started attacking them. Meanwhile, back in the bed chambers Twilight just woke up and went back into the bathroom to throw up the more. "That's it. I'm getting sick and tired of this, whatever is going on. I had it."

Just then Twilight renumbered that Princess Celestia taught her an analyzing spell. It was used to scan yourself when you were sick to diagnose yourself. As soon as she thought of it, she hid her face in one of her hoofs. "Why didn't I think of that sooner," she moaned.

So Twilight began to concentrate her magic and use the self-analyzing spell. As soon as the spell was, done her eyes were wide and her mouth agape. "I'm pregnant, I'm going to be a mother and Solarium going to be a father."

At finding out this tidbit of information. Twilight started to wonder about many things, but as she thought about it more. She began to feel a bit excited about this and felt she should let Solarium know immediately. So she began to walk towards the door. However, as soon as she opened it, the Royal guards that told Solarium and Luna about the unicorn were in front of her. "Princess Twilight you should be resting you're very sick," one of the guards said.

"I'm fine, but I really need to go talk to Solarium right away."

At hearing this, the Royal guard began to get nervous. Since every guard member knew that Twilight did not know about the situation and was not to know about it. "I'm sorry, Princess, but you need to stay in your room. Solarium and Luna have some Royal duties to take care of and we. We were, given under strict orders to make certain you stay in bed."

At hearing this Twilight frowned until an idea popped into her head. "All right, I'll go back to bed, but can you tell Solarium that as soon as he's done with his Royal duties to come back here? There's something I need a talk to them about."

"Of course, Princess."

And with that Twilight went back in my room and the doors closed, but she had lied about going back to bed. Instead, she was instead going to pull something that normally only Rainbow dash would do if she didn't want to be confined to a room. She walked over to the balcony open it. As quietly as she could, she spread her wings and glided down to the garden door. There were no guards there at the time, so Twilight opened her door and walked through and began heading towards the throne room since that would be the best place to start her search for Solarium. Since the Royal guard said that he had Royal duties to take care of.

Meanwhile, at the fight Solarium and Luna kept exchanging blows with the unicorn and the unicorn had started using more deadlier spells then previously, and each more deadly than the last. At that moment the unicorn had his deadliest spell aimed towards Solarium. Which the prince was standing in front of the doors to the throne room. Just as the unicorn fired the spell at Solarium, He flew up to dodge it, however, the spell did hit some pony. Since, just at that moment, Twilight opened the doors. "Solarium are you in your there's something I need to tell you."

Not a moment after Twilight said that the spell hit her and disappeared. Seeing this, both Luna and Solarium yelled out. "TWILIGHT!"

~~ To be continued ~~

Chapter 27

~~~ Last Time... ~~~

Twilight got killed.

~~ And now... ~~

At that moment, both of the Royal sibling's emotions were going wild. They were, upset devastated. Any type of emotion that meant sadness and distress. But there was one type of emotion that Solarium had that Luna did not appear to have. Solarium’s rage.

"You're going to regret killing my wife."

And with that Solarium hit the unicorn with a very lethal spell. When the unicorn with distracted from his sharp victory at killing Solarium's wife. This was fatal for the unicorn, as he died the moment the spell hit him. Soon the Royal guards walked up to Solarium. They were the three guardsmen who were watching his room when he told them to watch twilight. He wanted to know how Twilight got out but before he could ask, they said that Twilight wanted to see him for some reason. But they said that they had convinced her to go back to bed. So Solarium decided to investigate. As soon as he walked in his room he saw that the balcony doors were open.

At this, he was devastated.

He could easily guess that she had sneaked out of the room to go find them and he felt stupid for not thinking about putting Royal guards near the balcony if only to make certain nothing came in or out of the room. At that moment King Artemis and Queen Cosmos rushed into the bedroom. Since Luna sent them a letter telling them about what happened and they teleported to the Castle in the ever free forest. "Solarium are you all right, we came here, as soon as we heard what happened."

"I'm physically fine mother, but my heart feels as if it was, torn to pieces... I couldn't save her... The second the spell hit her… she was gone. Why mother... Why did it have to happen?"

At that moment Solarium broke into tears and Luna and Cosmos embraced in a wing hug. While King Artemis placed of hoof on his son's shoulder. "Will have to proper funeral for her and it’s not like you'll never see her again. You'll probably see a younger version of herself in the future."

At that Solarium looked up at his father. "You're right, I will see her again in the future. And I'm gonna do everything in my power to prevent her from coming back in time. I would rather meet with her and fall in love with her in the future than to fall in love with her now and to lose her to that maniac unicorn."

At hearing this, the rest of his family looked concerned. "Dear Solarium. I know you miss her already and so do I but if she came into the past more than likely this has happened and you knew that. What are the chances that you won't be able? To figure her identity and to prevent this from happening in more than likely will repeat itself."

"Doesn't matter Luna if I can find her in the future and prevent her from going back into time. Or if I can find that gem and destroy it then she would never go back in time. History is never set in stone."

~~ ~~

The next day they did a proper funeral for Twilight. As soon as the funeral was over Solarium went into his bedroom and looked through Twilight's Infinity book. He did not have her wedding ring since she was wearing it on a chain around her neck when she was, killed, but one thing kept popping up in his head about Twilight's death. "Twilight, what could have been so important? That you had to speak on of our bed chambers and come find me you were sick. Why go through the risk of making your condition worse, you should have stayed in bed?"

~~ ~~

It has been three months since Twilight's death and everyone had left Solarium alone. Except for his family members. Star swirl was too busy at the moment since the moment solarium had told him a non-Alicorn can become an Alicorn. He was so busy with his friendships spell which meant Solarium was having peace. He tried to recover from what happened to Twilight. But today was the day that piece was going to break. He was strolling through the gardens when a bunch of mares started rushing to him. "I hope Solarium, you must be so lonely since Twilight died."

"Don't worry, I'm here to make it all better."

"You? no, he has me."

"No, he has me."

"No, me."

"Me."

"No, me."

"Me."

"No, me."

"Me."

"No, me."

"Me."

This went on for quite some time. What they didn't know was during their arguing, Solarium teleported back inside the castle and told the guards to get the mares out of the Castle grounds. By the time they realized that he was gone the guards started telling him to leave.

But it only got worse.

Eventually, the mares found ways to sneak into the Castle and Solarium was getting frustrated by it at the moment he was now in his bedroom with Luna venting out his frustrations.

"I mean who do they think they are trying to take. Twilight's place in only after three months after her death. I wish there was a way to get those mares off my back."

"Well, Twilight did tell me something that might be able to help you right now. But I'm not really sure I should tell you since I told her that I would not say anything about it. Unless, I believe it's the right time."

"Well, since you brought up to some extent. I'm assuming it's the right time. So what it?"

Luna bit her lip before answering. "Well, you see in Twilight's time you're no longer a stallion you're a mare named Celestia."

At hearing this Solarium's mouth with a gaped. He could not believe what he'd just heard. "You mean to tell me, that, more than likely, I got so sick and tired of those mares flirting with me after Twilight’s death, that I turned myself into a mare?!"

"Yes, yes you did."

Solarium was about to open his mouth to state how ridiculous that sounded. Until he thought about it for a moment, and then a few moments and the longer he thought about it the more he was liking the idea. "You know what, that's not a bad idea come, Luna. We are going to Canterlot to talk about this with our parents and the Royal Council."

And with that, the two started off towards Council. To start Solarium's life as Princess Celestia

~~ To be continued ~~

(This chapter is the last time we will go back in time)

Chapter 28

( The last chapter was the last time we will go back in time)

~~~ Last Time... ~~~

Solarium had just become Celestia, In more modern times, Discord was racing to Celestia.

~~ Now back towards the future… ~~

Discord finally made it to Celestia. Luna was standing right next to her. Discord gasped for a little bit, trying to catch his breath before he cleared her throat. "I got the test results from the rainbow matrix gems that took Twilight to the past."

At hearing this, both Luna's and Celestia's hearts felt like they stopped beating. The moment of truth. So Celestia gave him a determent look. "And the results are?"

Discord took up deep breath before answering. "I'm sorry but in a way Twilight did die that day."

At hearing this Celestia broke down in tears while Luna, increased her with her wings. Trying to hold back her own tears of sadness and trying to console her. That is until she took in more of what discord just said. "Wait a minute, what do you mean ‘in a way’?"

"Well, you see, I've encountered three different types of rainbow matrix gem. One is where what you get sent to a time permanently. Unless you find another one that is a time traveling gem, you cannot be sent back to your time. Another one is timer based where you have to spend a fair amount time in that time-frame. Before it sends you back but if you get killed, then that doesn't matter. But neither one of these two were the case with the rainbow matrix gem that sent twilight back in time."

At hearing this, the two sibling Alicorn's looked at each other before looking back at Discord. "If neither one of those were the rainbow matrix gem that took Twilight away. Then what's the third one that's more than likely the one that did the deed?"

"Well, it's a very odd one in that you can't be, sent back to your time by any other rainbow matrix gem or any time traveling spells at all. Even my chaos magic can’t undo it. But there is one way for someone to be, returned back to their time. Which unless you are certain the gem that can send you back in time is that gem you don't want to risk it."

At hearing this, the two were even more confused. "And the only way to undo it is?"

"You have to technically die in the past to be, sent back to the future fully alive."

At hearing this Celestia's eyes widened and began filling up with help. "Are you telling me that Twilight is…?"

At that moment Discord smiled. "When that crazy unicorn killed Twilight. It didn't really kill her, what he really did was to the requirements needed to send her back to her time. Twilight is going to be just fine, although she will be, transported to whatever the location where she was killed, and depending on the rainbow matrix gem. The time we have to wait for her to return to our time varies."

At that moment Luna decided to ask the next question. "And how long do we have until Twilight returned back to our time from this rainbow matrix gem?"

At that Discord chuckle nervously. "Well, that's the whole reason why I rushed here. Celestia and did not ask the guards to gather everybody. Twilight should be back in our time in about five minutes."

At hearing this Celestia's heart began to glow, and she teleported to the Castle of The two sisters, leaving Discord and Luna together. "Um Luna, where did she teleport off to?"

At hearing this Luna chuckled. "If you just found out that your defeat lover was going to reappear where they died where do you think you would go?"

At that Discord pouted and crosses arms. "I know that, I mean the location where Twilight died. That is Celestia is heading off to?"

At hearing this Luna blushed a little bit with embarrassment. "Oh, I see. Anyways forget about that for now, we can catch up with them later. Right now, we should gather up everybody and tell him the good news."

"I suppose you're right on that."

And with that, the two went off looking for the others to tell him the news.

~~ Meanwhile at the Castle of the two sisters... ~~~

Celestia appeared in a bright flash in the throne room. She looked around to see if Twilight was there but didn't see her so she sat down thinking that maybe she was a bit early. When five minutes pass Celestia got annoyed. "I swear if Discord is just making this all up. I'm going to…"

But Celestia could not finish her sentence because of blue flash that appeared. And once the light dimmed down all that was left behind was Twilight sparkle in her normal coloration’s along with her six-pointed star cutie Mark being returned as well. Seeing Twilight Celestia rushed over to her and grabbed her with her front four hooves. "TWILIGHT!"

At hearing this Twilight began to groan. "Celestia is that you?"

At hearing this Celestia chuckled. "Yes twilight, it's me you're safe don't worry."

"Okay, but what happened the last thing I remember was…"

But Twilight did not get the chance to finish her sentence since Celestia kissed her right on the lips. Which shocked Twilight, but intellectually knew that Celestia is really Solarium in disguise. She had thought it could have been a dream, but then she felt her wedding ring. Pressing on her from Celestia's embrace. So she began to kiss back. as the two were kissing, Celestia channeled her magic on her horn and started changing herself back into Solarium and that as soon the two parted lips and Twilight opened her eyes. Celestia was no longer there, but Solarium. Which as soon as Twilight saw Solarium questions began to pop up in her head. "You got some explaining to do. Like, why in the wide world of Equestria turned yourself into a mare and who was a unicorn that attacked me?"

At hearing this Solarium frowned the bit. "Not until you tell me why you snuck out of our bed chambers to come and find me?"

At that moment Discord teleported: Twilight’s friends, family, the Royal Council, Artemis, Cosmos, Luna and himself into the throne room, hearing Solarium's question as well as having their mouth agape, seeing what Celestia truly looked like. Speaking of which, every mare in the room besides Cosmos and Luna could now see why Solarium had to turn himself into Celestia. But at that moment, neither Solarium nor Twilight cared who else was in the throne room. In fact, Twilight began to chuckle at Solarium's question. "Well, for one thing, I do not know that there was danger in the Castle. Because no one told me about any threats and two. I got so frustrated with me being sick that I finally renumbered that self-analyzing spell you taught me back when I was your student, In this time-frame and found out what was really going on with me."

At hearing this Solarium's, eyes went wide, remembering. That Twilight was sick and that more than likely. Still, has the sickness and she should probably get to a hospital as soon as possible. "Oh by my sun, I forgot that you were sick when that happened. We need to get you to the hospital right away!"

At hearing this, everyone began to be nervous. Except for Twilight. "Yes I do need a go to the hospital, but I don't have a fatal illness or anything like that."

At that moment Twilight wrapped Solarium's hoof and placed it, and her stomach. "Solarium. The reason why I was throwing up so much was because I'm pregnant, you're going to be a father."

At hearing this everyone gasped they do not see this coming. Although Cadence and Luna were ecstatic signing out that they are going to be aunts soon. While Nightlight Twilight velvet Artemis and Cosmos were as ecstatic. That they are going to be grandparents. While everyone else didn't know what to think. Although Pinkie pie was ecstatic on planning a baby shower for Twilight and Solarium. Although Discord started taking pictures of Solarium's face. Because he did not know when he'll ever see that expression again on Solarium. His eyes were as wide as dinner plates his mouth almost touched the floor literally. "Are you sure?"

At hearing this Twilight chuckled. “If you don't believe me, why don't use some of your other analyzing spells."

At that moment Solarium used one of his spells. Just to make certain and he ended up with the same results as Twilight. "I'm going to be a father."

"Yes, you are."

At that moment Solarium hug to Twilight even tighter. "This is the best day ever! First, you come back to your correct time safe and sound. And I find out that I'm going to be a father."

At hearing this. Everybody started laughing with joy and soon as everyone calmed down from there. Cheers and laughter they teleported out of the ruling Castle. To Canterlot hospital, just to make certain that both Twilight and the unborn child were really fine.

The end. Or is it just the beginning?

Extra Chapter (Read A/N at the end of this chapter)

It has been three months since Twilight returned safely to her time. And now everyone in the Equestria was, up to date. On how Princess Celestia has really Prince Solarium and the fact that Twilight Sparkle was, married to him. In the past and now have to do a redo Wedding At first everyone in Equestria was confused about Celestia not being a mare no one didn't know what to think about Celestia. Being a stallion or the fact that Twilight went back in time and it up changing her coloration's and cutie marks and change the last part of her name. Then ended up getting married but everyone in Equestria started to calm down and let it go the only ones I really that were having trouble accepting it was the nobles. Minus the Council they just let it go because of the legal documents that were made by their ancestors about the topic so they had no chose but to let it go all though Prince Blueblood was still in shock and everyone was waiting for the ticking time boom to go off. Everyone decided that they would do the remarriage after Twilight gave birth to Prince Solarium's and thers child. Mainly because Rarity was complaining that she would have to keep on changing the wedding dress size until the day of the wedding. But right now Solarium was pretty much-having Twilight in lockdown. Meaning she was not allowed to go anywhere outside Solarium's and hers share bed chambers unless she was with him, Luna, Artemis, Cosmos her family or her friend's, and if it with her family members or friends she had a be, accompanied by Royal guard, except when it was Shining or Candace those two were exceptions besides Solarium side of the family. Although Twilight was really never alone since Spike was staying by her side, even though she kept on insisting that he should go back to Ponyville and take care of the Castle there. But he would not leave her side because he was just as protective as Solarium, at the moment about her safety. Right now the Royal Council and Solarium and the rest of Solarium's family were having a discussion. "You know now that your mother and I are out of hiding. We can take care of political duties and such once again."

"But what about that bakery that you two owned? What they called it again sugar cube corner was it?"

At hearing this Cosmos chuckled. "Well, you see we were planning on revealing our true identities next year. Just because we didn't want one of the twins to accidentally reveal themselves and make everything awkward and so we were planning on handing over the bakery to Pinkie pie. Does that answer your question dear Luna? "

Artemis nodded his head in agreement with his wife. "Besides you two also have to think of the fact that Twilight has her own Castle in Ponyville besides Canterlot Castle's under your mother and my name. Not you two sure you two are welcome to stay here as long if you want and anytime, but Solarium don't you think that Twilight would be much happier being in her Castle so that she can be with her friends?"

At this Solarium blushed. "What about Luna? It’s not like she is planning going back to our old Castle in the everfree forest and fix it back up and then recalled it the Lunar Castle. "

At this Cosmos chuckled. "As your father said you two and Twilight are always welcome to stay here whenever you want. Meaning, if Luna wants to stay and spend some quality time with your guy's new siblings. That's fine with us or if she wants to go with you and Twilight and stay at Twilight's Castle. That's all fine as well."

Upon hearing this Luna thought about it for the moment. "I think for now I'll be staying here. So then I can help take care of the twins while you two start going back to all of your old Royal duties, but when Twilight gets closer to her due date, then I'll start at Twilight's Castle to help out for a while, then go from there."

Solarium frowned when he thought about something. "What about Twilight's safety there are no Royal Guards stationed at her castle, in fact, there are none even in Ponyville. Even though the town is right next to the Everfree forest."

Upon hearing that everyone froze they all knew he was right and no one knew that better than Artemis, and Cosmos. Since the two used to live there. "I see your point. Well, I guess we will just have to send some guards there weather Twilight likes it or not."

Solarium nodded his head. "Okay that sound far come to think of it why didn't I send Guards down there much sooner? I should have sent some down there the earliest should have been when she decided to stay in Ponyville right after she and her friends saved Luna. The latest should have been when she first became a Princess. I mean come on it would of at least stopped Starlight from using that time spell!"

"Yes, dear brother but then it would have also stopped Twilight from taking Starlight in as her student."

Upon hearing, this Solarium blushed once more but Luna just thought of something. "Speaking of Starlight who has been teaching her the magic of friendship? After all, with all that time, Twilight was gone from that rainbow matrix gem and since you won't let Twilight out without someone you trust."

Once again this caused Solarium to blush. "Okay I get it I'll either let Twilight do her teaching Starlight or I'll teach Starlight as a substitute teacher or something."

Upon hearing this Luna chuckled. "Good luck with that I bet you 100 bits that Twilight is going to take it the wrong way and believes that you think she is not good enough to teach Starlight or any pony for that matter."

At hearing this everyone thought about what Luna just said and began to laugh at that wile Solarium's blush got even redder.

But Luna was not done with messing with her brother. "Speaking of Starlight's time spell."

Upon hearing this everyone looked at her but Solarium knew that look that Luna was giving all too well, and he did not like that look what so ever. Luna seeing that Solarium knew that she was up to something she went in for the kill. "I do recall Twilight having dreams from when Starlight did that one of them being the time where I had locked you up on my own moon."

Everyone was confused at what Luna was getting at but she was not done yet. "Twilight was chased by timber wolfs when she first got into that timeline she and Spike ran to our old Castle. Which is where she meat that time lings Nightmare Moon apparently she didn't want to live in Canterlot Castle so she redid our old castle, and I might say. I liked what that Nightmare Moon did with the place, although I would not have anything that depicts Nightmare Moon but more of the real me."

Everyone just stared at her for a moment until Luna spook again. "What it’s a thought and that way we would at least have one alicorn keeping an eye on the Tree of Harmony."

Artemis then took the time to speak. “I hate to say this but Luna is right even though Twilight and her friends can use the power of Harmony without the Elements. We don't know if when Twilight's friends die if Twilight is going to have to find five new ones if the tree will pick the replacements, or if the five others will just reborn and the tree will tell us when that happens. So we might need someone to live as close as they can to the tree as positional. Which would be your two's old Castle."

Upon hearing this everyone just nodded their heads in agreement as soon as the meeting was, done. Solarium started to his bedchambers since everyone thought that it would be a good idea for Twilight to be back in her own Castle. So then she can relax and calm down. Plus the fact that the news media would think that they would want her to stay in Canterlot. Which more than likely not take her back in ponyville which it would be less stressful for her. Which as soon as he made it to the doors of the room. He opened it and walked in only to see that Twilight and Spike were playing a board game. Which then the two turned towards them. "Sorry to disturb your game. But I talked with my parents and the Council and it turns out that my parents have given full ownership to their restaurant to Pinkie Pie and is now going back to rule Equestria. And they all recommended that we go back to your Castle in Ponyville so as soon as I'm done the packing. My personal belongings and also pack up your personal belongings that I was able to save from the Castle of the two sisters, we can go."

Upon hearing this, the two nodded, but Twilight decided to speak. "Solarium if you would like I can help you pack up."

"Thanks, Twilight but the doctor said that you should take it easy and even Discord agreed with the doctor. Saying that the rainbow matrix gem can bring a lot of strain to one's body on a return trip to their correct time. And with the fact that you are pregnant, as well. During the trip back from the past doing any levitation with your magic. Other than simple food and small items can do more harm than good.Did I say that Discord, DISCORD of all beings saying that you should not push yourself for you and the foal! So please, just relax and once I get done we can all go."

Upon hearing this Twilight side. She hated the fact that everyone was being a little bit overprotective on her ever since she returned from the past. But it was understandable since one Solarium and his family thought she'd be dead. By the time-traveling experience and when her family and friends heard of this and then found out that she was all right. It placed them on edge. So she decided it was best to just cooperate with everyone and not give them any more reason to worry about. At this time Solarium found Twilight's infinity book. (So that is where I put it after looking at it last. I must of put it here and forgot about it when I heard that Twilight was heading back to our time.)

"Hey, Twilight."

At hearing her name Twilight looked up at Solarium and soon after he continued to talk. "Here I forgot to give this to you after you came back from the past."

Twilight took the book and gaped seeing that it was her infinity book. "My infinity book I thought it may have gotten lost or destroyed around the time Luna became Nightmare Moon. So I didn't even bother to think about asking about what happened to it."

Upon hearing this Solarium smiled. "Well, I kept it safe as a way to remember you as the years went by infact I even added to the book over the years."

Upon hearing this Twilight immediately opened her book to see what he added to her book since she last used it. Only to find that ever book that Twilight ever wanted to read that no longer existed because of ether. It was not all that popular or outdated. Got destroyed somehow, or those stupid Nobles that worked with the Canterlot Castle library got rid of them and they were lost to time. All because those stupid Nobles wanted room for books they wanted which most of them were the mares which all they wanted were Twilight shuttered romance novels. Which Twilight made a mental note not to ever let anyone but Solarium and the rest of her family chose what books are in her library back in Ponyville no matter how much the Nobles complain. Twilight then looked up at her lover and smiled. "Thank you Solarium you don't know how much this means to me."

Upon hearing this He smiled at her. "No problem after all besides your dress and a few other things I saved from the Castle after I thought you had died so..."

"Wait how in Celestia's name did you keep the dress I would think mouth would have calmed it by now?"

At hearing this Solarium smirk “Don't you mean how in Solarium's name did I do it?"

Upon hearing this Twilight she blushed and he began to chuckle. "It's okay Twilight although I'm surprised you slipped up in the past."

"Oh I did it only happened in front of Luna is all, now answer me how did you...?"

"I just used a time preservation spell on it is all."

Upon hearing this Twilight fact hoof. "Of course you did. Please tell me you didn't show it to Rarity?"

"Sorry love but Rarity asked about it and even though Luna didn't know that I still had it she told her what it looked like and brought up that she wished everyone could have seen what it looked like. But then Mother told those two and Cadence that I kept it. Apparently, during their vacation, they became members of the Royal Guards at the time and saw that I did the spell. It also turned out mom was one of the Guards who I had to help me hid your things here in Canterlot Castle so she took the three in there. Now Rarity has it at the time and won't let anyone near it until she is done making new designs for your new wedding dress. I'm the only glade that she promises that she won't do anything to the dress and only looking at it to help her come up with a new dress for our wedding renewal."

At that moment Twilight side at that info then something came to mind. "Um, dear doesn't that mean you'll also need to get to that room where you kept some of my things for how far back did I go?"

"Well, it was about 200 years before Discard came into the picture so about 1200 years ago if not farther back in time."

At that moment Solarium got what she meant before sighing. "This may take longer then I may have hoped."

“You sure don’t want my help?”

Upon hearing this Solarium gave her one of his looks that he would have to give her when he had to be stern when he said no one something that Twilight wanted to do as a young filly. Back when he was pretending to be Celestia. Which, still have the same effect on Twilight as it did when Solarium was Celestia. “Yes, I am positive if I need help. I’ll ask some of the Castle staff now you just relax and read something from the infinity book.”

All that Twilight could do was opening up her infinity book and began reading through the book. While the last words that she said were. “Yes, Solarium!”

Upon hearing this Solarium signed since he didn’t really want to scare Twilight just wanted her to stop persisting on helping him. Solarium let out another sigh before walking to the door. As soon as he opened it. He looked to one of his Royal Guards. “Can you get some of the Royal staff to help me pack up our belongings to be brought to the Castle friendship?”

The Royal guards saluted and ran off to get the help that was needed. It did take a long time for Solarium and the Royal staff to get done packing and soon the three went to the chariot to head back to the Castle of friendship. As the three were riding the chariot to Ponyville Twilight got tired and fell asleep while leaning on Solarium. Which in response wrapped one of his wings around her. All the while, Spike was reading one of his comic books.

The three soon made it to Ponyville and landed in front of the Castle. Solarium helped Twilight out of the carriage while at the same time levitated their luggage out of the carriage. The three said thanks to the Pegasus guards from bringing them to Ponyville and soon entered the Castle. As soon as they soon as they entered Pinkie Pie pop out of nowhere saying surprised with all of Twilight's friends. At seeing this the three all smiled Twilight was the first to speak. "Hey girls how did you know that we were coming???"

"Oh, that was easy my Pinkie sense told me so."

Upon hearing this Solarium was about to ask when Twilight stopped him. "It's Pinkie Pie you don't want to know how just let it be. Trust me on this."

At this Solarium node his head and enjoyed the moment but then Rainbow thought of something. "Hey, is the baby a boy or a girl?"

Everyone looked at Twilight and Solarium. "Sorry girls but we don't know yet sure there is a spell that could tell us but Solarium has been so busy with everything that he really hasn't been with me during my checkups. So I thought I should wait until he was free to find out. All I know is that we are having quints."

Solarium spat out his tea and looked at Twilight. "QUINTS!?"

Everyone looked at Twilight which mad Twilight blush and laugh nervously. "Did I forget to tell you that?"

Solarium didn't say anything instead his eyes rolled to the back of his head and passed out. Seeing this Twilight ran to Solarium worried about him. "Solarium! Are you okay?! Solarium wake up!"

Everyone else at the party ran over as well ran towards Solarium worried that he was hurt or something. Fluttershy was the first to speak, well besides Twilight keep saying “Solarium wake up wake up wake up.”

“He’s fine. He just passed out. But we should send for a doctor. Rainbow dash do you mind going and getting the doctor?”

Upon hearing this Rainbow dash nodded her head. “Sure I’ll be back as soon as I can.”

And with that Rainbow went out to get a doctor when everyone else was trying to wake Solarium up. Spick sent a letter to Luna which caused her and the king, queen and the twins to rush over to try to help wake him up. (Note the only reason why the beat Rainbow Dash back from all the way from Canterlot when rebel does was just heading to the Ponyvill hospital is being carved they teleported to the Castle of friendship. That nurse Red heart was yelling at Rainbow dash for crashing through one of the patient’s hospital windows.) As I was saying soon as they got there Luna spook. "Twilight what happened? Is Solarium all right?"

At hearing Luna's question Twilight looked nervously before speaking. "Well you see I forgot to tell Solarium about the pregnancy and when I just said it to everyone he passed out. Rainbow is out getting the doctor so we have to wait for her get back here with help."

Cosmos looked at Twilight before speaking. "And what was the thing you forgot to tell him that made him past out like this?"

At hearing the question made Twilight even more nervous and she was about to say what the thing was when Pinkie Pie told them for her. "Oh, he passed out because he just found out that Twilight is pregnant with quints!"

At that moment Luna, Artemis, Cosmos all shouted at the same time. "QUINTS!"

Which soon after three of them passed out as well which made Twilight mad and shouted out. "OH COME ON YOU GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!!!"

Latter on the Solarium, Luna, Cosmos, and Artemis finally woke up and Solarium was the first of them to speak. "I had the weirdest dream were, Twilight just told me that we were having quints as in five foals right off the bat."

Upon hearing this Twilight looked at him needlessly and at that moment it finally hit him that it was no dream. "That was no dream was it I'm really going to be a father of quints meaning I could have five a mix of two daughters and three sons, or two sons and three daughters, or four daughters and a son, or four sons and a daughter, or all son's or all daughters?"

At that moment Twilight nodded her head. "Yes, meaning we need to find a big room for them because they are shirring a room until they are at least odd enough to go to school. No, but about it"

Around this time Rainbow got back with a doctor who was now taking a look at every pony who had passed out. Which Rainbow hearing what Twilight and Solarium just talked about made her laugh. "Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha oh man wait until your brother and Cadence her about this after all Cadence did give birth Flurry heart like a month before Twilight well you know went back in time and fell in love with you. I wonder if Shining will try and kill Solarium for getting his little sister pregnant with five baby's and after seeing Cadence goes into labor and him hearing her screaming from all the pain?"

After hearing that Solarium eyes widen and then he looked at Luna. "Luna, would you do that if Twilight's and I switched our position in gender?"

"Well, that would depend on a few things. Right now with my age and how I was there for most of your romantic relationship with Twilight and how I know her so well, then no I wouldn't. But if I was in Shining's horseshoes and the same age as him then yes I maybe would do that about a fair 50% chance I might try and kill Twilight if she was a he and you were the one pregnant with five babies all at once."

Upon hearing this Solarium past out once again which the doctor ran to Solarium and check to see if the prince is alright. "Good news he is fine but for his sanity sack, I think Princess Luna should take Princess Twilight to the Crystal Empire. So Princess Cadence and Shining Armor know they are going to be unit and uncle of five baby's and make shire Shining Armor won't hunt down Prince Solarium."

At hearing, Luna and Twilight nodded their heads and Luna talked to her guards for the trip to the Crystal Empire. Which they sent a letter in advance saying that the two were coming. So Shining Armor and Cadence were waiting for them with little Flurry heart. "Twilight, Princess Luna it is great to see you two."

"So Twilight how's the baby and where uncle Celestia? ...! I mean Solarium, I still can't believe that Celestia is really a stallion named Solarium. It is going to take some time before I get used to it calling him by his real name instead of Celestia."

Upon hearing the two questions about the pregnancy and Solarium Twilight began to get nervous and Luna notes that and thought that it would be best if she took charge. "I think we should talk about this in privet."

Upon hearing this Shining and Cadence looked at each other and looked back and nodded their heads and with that, the four headed to the Castle and then went to a privet room. Which at this time Flurry heart was taking a nap, once every one stat down Luna begin to speak. "Okay before we begin I need you two to promise that no matter what I tell you. You will not go off and try to kill Solarium this is aimed big time at you Shining Armor."

Upon hearing this the two looked worried Shining asked first. "Why would you think I would do that?"

Upon hearing this Twilight spoke. "Rainbow said that you might try something to Solarium if you heard the new news about my pregnancy, which I might add made Solarium pass out."

Upon hearing this made Shining mad and worried at the same time. "Okay, I won't do anything."

Cadence nodded her head showing that she promised as well so Luna began to speak. "I'll say it because Twilight might take some time to say it. You see it trends out that Twilight and my brother are going to have more than one foal."

At hearing this Shining figure it out why they would think that he saw how bad it was just for Cadence to give birth to little Flurry heart. But to give birth to two foals on the same day would be a lot worse. But on the other hoof, you can't control how many would come into your life so he really can't go after Solarium for it. Cadence was giddy since that meant that Flurry heart would not just have one cousin to play with now and then that was near her age but two of them. "Oh so you are having twins I bet Flurry heart will have a lot of fun with them."

Upon hearing this Twilight looked even more nervous. "It’s not twins."

Upon hearing this Shining and Cadence look at her shocked which Cadence talked once more. "So its triplets then?"

"No."

At hearing this Cadence became a little confused. "So it's quadruplets then?"

"Still No."

At this Cadence was starting to get mad. "Twilight are you and Aunt Luna just pulling a prank and you are just carrying one foal?!"

Upon hearing this Twilight was became sad and was thinking of crying. But Luna was getting mad herself because she hated being called a liar. " We are not joking we are being very serious about this matter, it’s just that Twilight is carrying more the four foals is all!"

At that moment Shining knew what she meant and hoped that he was wrong. "Twiliy please tell me you’re joking and you are not having quints?"

At hearing this Cadence looked back at Twilight and Luna who both looked very nervous and began to node their heads. Luna then spoke on the matter. "I wish I could tell you that but, I'm going to have to say that yes Twilight is with quints."

Upon hearing this Shining followed in Solarium's hoof steps and past out which Cadence froze at what she was just told. When seeing this a Guard ran to get a doctor meanwhile both Twilight and Luna face hoof while thinking. (You got to be kidding me!)

But soon after Flurry heart thought it was a good idle to pull her mother’s hair as heard as she could. "Och what was that!"

Cadence felt another tug and looked down to see that her daughter playing with her hair. "Sweetie you need to stop pulling my hair now."

Cadence then picked up her daughter and held her close, completely forgetting about Twilight and Luna being there. Which the two seeing this brought a smile on their faces.

Latter on Shining awoke and then he remembered what made him past out in the first place. So he started to look around until he saw Cadence, Twilight, Flurry heart, and Princess Luna all looking at him to his left. Which as soon as Flurry saw her dad was awake she jumped off her mother's back right onto her father’s chest. Which Shining let out a grunt smiled at his daughter but then looked at Twilight once more. "Does mom and dad know about it yet?"

Twilight shook her head. "No the only ones who knows at the moment are you Cadence, Luna, Flurry, Solarium, Cosmos, the twins, Artemis, Rainbow, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, Rarity, and Spike."

"Okay, you might want to tell them that before the news media finds out."

"I was planning on doing that on the way back to Ponyville."

Upon hearing this Shining gave her a look. "Twilight I love you and I'm not saying that you and Solarium can't handle it but you might want to try and get a royal guard or two who have a special talent with children to become nannies and help you Solarium and Spick out. I'm only saying that because you remember Flurry Heart's crystalline and I don't think that the spell that Sunburst gave us will not work without another crystalline? And I'm not all that shire that the Crystal Empire is ready for another royal crystalline especially if it’s going to be for quints"

Upon hearing this both Twilight, Luna and Cadence froze and looked at Flurry heart. Cadence was the first to speak. "Um, how powerful will they be compared to Flurry? After all, she has one alicorn and a unicorn parents but Twilight's and Solarium's little ones will have two alicorn parents."

Upon hearing this everyone paled not likeing what might be the outcome of five alicorn foals. But at that moment Twilight thought of something. "Wait, Luna how come when Solarium was Celestia he said that there was never a natural born alicorns in Equestria. When you two were natural born alicorns your self's?"

Upon hearing this Luna chuckled and looked at Twilight. "Well, you see Twilight back when Solarium was born half of Equestria was not even part of the kingdom but a kingdom of alicorns. At first, the two kingdoms got along just fine, but when alicorn married a nonalicorn the child would be the same type as the nonalicorn. Which some of the ponies only married an alicorn just so their bloodline would live forever? Which made all but our family to give up the land to Equestria lave our homeland. This lead to how my parents became the rulers since they could live forever and they could keep the land safe from bad rulers forever. So I must say I'm impressed that you two could give birth to little Flurry heart. Maybe Shining and Twilight have some alicorn blood in them from an ancestor who was borne from one parent being an alicorn?"

Upon hearing this the three other grownups mouth almost hit the ground they all said or whether shouted one word. "What!"

At this Luna gave them all a dead pain look. "Look if you want to know more ask my parents because I was three years old and Solarium was five years old when it happened. It happened way over a 1000 years ago shier I can remember stuff from when I was 10 years old but that is something all alicorns go through when they reach 250 years old most alicorns will remember up to back the age they get their cutie mark but any father back can be hard to recall after you turn 250 years old. I don't know much about it and I didn't have time to find out more about it because I was trying to learn how to be a good princess."

Upon hearing this they all nod their heads. But yet again Twilight thought of something. “I wonder how in the world did your parents be able to hide the fact that Pumpkin and Poundcake were really Alcorn’s in disguise? Did they block two-thirds of their magic when they were disguised as a unicorn and the Pegasus?”

Upon hearing this three of them looked at Twilight then two of them looked at Luna which Luna notes. "Don't look at me ask them I still don't know. I still trying to cope with the fact that I I'm a big sister now and trying to finger all this out myself."

At this everyone started to laugh at what Luna just said and soon joined in. Latter on Twilight and Luna said their goodbyes and went back on to the train stashing then got on the train and headed to Canterlot to go to talk to Twilight's parents. Which Nightlight and Velvet were surprised to see both Twilight and Princess Luna at there door. Nightlight was the one to Spock first. "Okay if you two are coming here to tell us that Luna is ether really Solarium sister but really his other wife since I know that back then it was more normal back then and it is still done today or that Luna is really a male and you are also his wife I'm going to have a long take with the king and queen about how I think about the whole gender changing thing or I will be very mad about how you all didn't tell us about that whole Luna is another wife thing."

Upon hearing this Luna looked like she was about to have a Twilight panic attack of her own when Twilight started to giggle. "No dad Solarium is not feeling well so Luna is just keeping an eye on me because everyone is still worried about me and I needed to talk to you two about something."

Upon hearing this the two let them in and went to the living room once all of them were sitting down Twilight spoke again. "Okay, you know that when I was in the past I married Solarium which I still married to him we just have to redo the wedding and that I'm pregnant right?"

The two nodded before Twilight keeps going. "Well, I kind of found out that you are getting more than one grandchild out of me in my first go with pregnancy."

Upon hearing this Nightlight and Velvet both just looked at each other than at Twilight, Nightlight was the first to speak. "So you are having twins?"

Twilight shook her head. "No, dad."

This time Velvet speak. " So it's triplets then?"

This time Luna spoke. "No, and before you guess again I'm just going to say it Twilight is having quints."

"LUNA!!!"

Upon hearing this Nightlight and Velvet again looked at each other and then Velvet Spock once again. "You owe me 200 bits."

"Oh, hoses apples." Was all Nightlight said before he gave his wife the 200 bits.

Twilight looked at her parents in shock. "Wait! You two better on how many babies I'm going to give birth to?!"

"Maybe..."

Luna looked at Twilight who looked back at her which the two got up and walked away to go home.

...

Months later it was finally the day when the babies were due. Everypony was waiting for Twilight to give birth to the little one. Until a Dr. walked in with a smile. "I'm proud to say that we now have 5 healthy babies."

At hearing that everyone smiled and soon after everyone were able to go in and see the babies. Which they did they saw Twilight and Prince Solarium looking at three girls and two boys. Solarium looked up to them and smiled. "Hey let me intodus you all to the new members of our famly."

Sloarium pointed at a girl that had Twilight's cout color but had the same mane and tail colors that Solarium did back when he was being Celestia and just then opend her eyes to show that she had the same blue eyes as Luna and Shining. "This is our eldest Aurora Borealis."

He then ponted at a nother girl that had the same cout as Luna but had the her mothers maen and tail with pink eyes. "This is Andromeda we named her that after she wouldn't stop crying until I made her a fake star until she fell back to sleep. "

At that moment Andromeda was reaching for Luna which she looked at her bother who nodded his head as a way of saying it was all right to hold her. So Luna picked her up and Andromaeda was trying to get Luna's hair. Twilight smiled at that. "Looks like you might have a little helper someday."

Luna was still looking at Andromaeda and smiled. "I will be happy to teach her the ways of the night when she is older. Who know's maybe she will be the Princess of the Stars some day."

Everyone one smiled at that Solarium then poited to one of the boys who waslooked like Solarium but with some parts of his cout red with his white . "This is Pyro."

The last two was what shocked everyone, because the last girl looked 100% like Solarium did when he was Celesta and the last boy looked like Twilight is she was a boy. Twilight gigled at this. "Since they looked so much like we named her Celesta and him Dusk Shine."

Solarium then looked at Luna and grind. "I guess Celesta is going to live on and you are going to have to deal with two of me."

Lune looked at he brother in shock while everyone lughed. And that all there is there isn't any more.

Author's Note

Sorry but I just don't feel up to making the sequel I was saying I would make. This is because I'm not much of an MLP fan anymore I've moved on more towards RWBY and do Fanfic's for it as well as TFP fanfics. But I did start to work on the first chapter for it but then just lost that spark for this fanfic. So to make it up to you all I got done with the chapter that was going to be in the sequel and posted it here. Since I'm ending it here for good I'm going to say this...

Since I don't own mlp and the fact that I don't think I will be doing more with this. Anyone who wants to make there own sequel to A past that I did not see coming, make a side story or even make their own version of it, Like instead of Celestia have Luna be the lover. Or have one of the other main 6 go to the past instead of Twilight. Go for it I'm fine with that, all I ask is that you point out that the idea was from A past that I did not see coming, as well as make it your own and let me know about it. I would love to see what others can do with this idea, you don't have to ask me. Just let me know that you are making a fanfic with the same idea and the name of it. Again I would love to see what you all come up with.

I also had three stories that I was working on but don't want to do that I never posted. No, I'm not talking about Twilight's little princess problem. I want to do at least one more chapter before I decide what I'm going to do with that. These three fanfic's I never posted and I don't think I never will be posting these three fanfics. So they are up for grabs. I'm just doing to just put down a google doc link for you guys to look at them all. You all can do with it what you want. I did these to help with writers black so all but one of them do have more than one chapter so I will put down how many chapters that I did make and if anyone wants to make something out of the idea go at it. I still go on here to read reread fanfic's that I was still into and read some fanfics here that I was following but that is it. I haven't really looked at anything really new so I don't know if anyone did have the same ideas as me. I maybe saw some new stuff on Fanfiction but not here.

Well, that is all I have to say, it was fun making A past that I did not see coming and I'm glad that so many of you liked it. Hope you enjoyed this extra chapter. Below are the fanfic idea's Google Doc link https://docs.google.com/document/d/1CMs2-oVLjXo26vP7tqZNUVWRK_rtMpZwsRJ_BQaWfq0/edit?usp=sharing

Chapter 15

~~~ Last Time ~~~

Celestia could see, it was not going to be fun, along with the fact that Discord was going to find out. She could already see many ways Discord could use this to aggravate her.

~~~ Meanwhile, back in Discord's attic... ~~~

"Is this it?"

"No."

"All right, how about this?"

"No."

"This one?"

"No."

"Okay, this?"

"No."

"All right that?"

"No."

"How about this?"

"Not even close."

"This?"

"No."

"That?"

"No."

"This?"

"No."

"That?"

"No."

"This?"

"Does that even look like a technomagical device Luna? Heck no!"

"All right, fine is it this?"

"Still a no."

"This?"

"No."

"That?"

"No."

"Alright, this has gotta be it. Right?"

"Nope. Try again"

"Okay, how about this?"

"This?"

"No."

"That?"

"No."

"How about now?"

"Nope."

"Now?"

"No."

"That?"

"No."

"Alright, this has to be it. What else could it be?"

"That, my dear is a snow cone machine."

At that point Luna was getting frustrated. They didn't even make a dent in looking through all the stuff Discord last used 4000 years ago. "You know what Discord, we really should have thought about asking Pinkie Pie for help. She would of more than likely have been able to find the rainbow matrix gem analyzer in an instant."

Just then The Pinkie popped out of the snow cone machine. "You mean this do hickey and this pretty case?"

The two were, shocked at seeing Pinkie there with the device that they needed. Although... Discord was a bit more curious on how Pinkie got into his house within his snow cone machine without using any chaos magic. If she had used any he would've sensed it. Which luckily she did not otherwise the device would have been, ruined. "Yes Pinkie, that's exactly what we're looking for. Thank you for retrieving it for us."

And with that Pinkie disappeared in the snow cone machine. Luna used some of her magic to open the lid for the snow cone machine to see if she was still in there. Only to see that Pinkie was gone. Meanwhile, Discord just got done putting the device in its protective casing. As soon as he was, done he recalled what Pinkie said about Celestia. Which made him very curious about that so he turned back towards Luna to ask. "What did Pinkie mean by Celestia turning back into a stallion and who is Solarium?"

At hearing this Discord started thinking that there was something he did not know about Celestia and it was a dozy of a secret, he couldn't wait to hear the full scoop about it. So with a snap of his fingers. The two teleported to Canterlot Castle.

~~~ End of Chapter 15 ~~~
