There you will learn all you need to learn to stop the old king from regaining his thrown. Now go, before it's to late. O, and one more thing. Call me princess Celestia now” the princess proclaim. Sunset nodded and quickly ran for the train station, hoped on the line for the Crystal City, and went on her first adventurer. As she arrived at the Crystal City, she was met with a rather frighten populous. She quickly notice that all the crystal ponies were trying to hid from something, but what? She went to the Library to find some answers, but to no avail. She started to walk around asking every group of ponies she met to only get he is coming or he'll be back soon. Soon she found her way into the Crystal Palace only to find a mother and her newborn child hiding like the others.

As she finishes the story she about to fall on her belly crying and begging forgiveness for losing an alicorn. Celestia responds with “Do not weep or beg forgiveness. The fault lies on me. I did not realize the size of the situation and sent you to deal with a task that even I would fear of failing it. You are strong and wise young one but your still new at this. You are going to slip on a task and fail another,That is life. Only when you make the same mistake is when you should be ashamed of yourself like you are now. Come, there is still much to do and much to learn.” as the carriage arrives at the palace, the two step off the Celestia has the guards help Sunset to her room.

If you think you can't seem to stop, then I guess you need a lollipop.” Sonata Sang to the tune of Hush little baby. As soon as she finished her song, the baby fell asleep. “good, now don' let it happen again” Aria said before going back into the kitchen.

Adagio replied. "I don't know if I'm even going to celebrate, let alone get her something." Aria answered. "you know being nice to each other even ones in a while isn't that bad. And if that's coming from me, how can you beat that?" Adagio asked. "I'll think about it." Aria answered. "We'll be quick about it. You only have a week." Adagio replied before heading back home. Everybody woke up to the grandfather clock chime. "Christmas is here." Sonata hollered out. "Let's get this over with already." Aria grumbled with a yawn. "Who's first?" Sonata asked. "Let the baby go first." Adagio answered. Sonata grabbed the largest box under the tree and put it in front of Cupcake. "Alright sweetie, let's see what Santa got you." Sonata said. She started to rip off the rapping. "Look, it's a Walker Dottie. Now you can walk around like mommy." Sonata said.

Sonata said holding the pendent to her own. The day went on with a smile as Sonata put Cupcake into her new walker Dottie. "She better not hit me with that thing."

Adagio replied. "I don't know if I'm even going to celebrate, let alone get her something." Aria answered. "you know being nice to each other even ones in a while isn't that bad. And if that's coming from me, how can you beat that?" Adagio asked. "I'll think about it." Aria answered. "We'll be quick about it. You only have a week." Adagio replied before heading back home. Everybody woke up to the grandfather clock chime. "Christmas is here." Sonata hollered out. "Let's get this over with already." Aria grumbled with a yawn. "Who's first?" Sonata asked. "Let the baby go first." Adagio answered. Sonata grabbed the largest box under the tree and put it in front of Cupcake. "Alright sweetie, let's see what Santa got you." Sonata said. She started to rip off the rapping. "Look, it's a Walker Dottie. Now you can walk around like mommy." Sonata said. As Sonata was putting the walker to the side Adagio took a smaller box and handed it to Sonata. "Let her open up this one next." Adagio said. Sonata took the box and put it in front of Cupcake. "Let see what else you got." Sonata said. She unwrapped the box to find a pink and purple teddy bear. "This is so cute, she going to love it." Sonata said. She looked under the tree to find a third present. "What's this?" Sonata asked. She unwrapped it to find a small necklace box. "Who got this for her, Aria did you get into the Christmas spirit?" Sonata asked. "Just open it already." Aria replied. Sonata open the box to find a red pendent. "Oh, By Celestia Magic. It's just like the ones we where." Sonata said. "I thought if she's going to be one of us, we might make it a little more official. And you can't be a dazzling without the pendent." Aria said. "That's so sweet of you." Sonata said holding the pendent to her own. The day went on with a smile as Sonata put Cupcake into her new walker Dottie. "She better not hit me with that thing." Aria said walking out of the kitchen. "Oh relax, she'll will be fine." Sonata said. "I'm not talking about her safety." Aria said. "Your be fine too." Sonata said. "You say that now." Aria said. "How's the ham?" Sonata asked. "The food is fine, by ability to avoid tripping over Cupcake, that's another." Aria said as she walked backed into the kitchen. To all my readers out there, I wish you a merry Christmas.
