Celestia walked down the hallway of her and Luna's castle and with a pleasant twitch of her tail remembered that it wouldn't be Luna's castle for much longer. She stopped in front of her sister's door and put a spell on it so it wouldn't creak when she opened it. As soon as the spell was cast Celestia gently opened it and silently flew inside to Luna's bed where she is fast asleep at this time of day, then, she teleported a cage in the room and grabbed Luna and threw her inside it.
"HEY!" Luna shouted as the cage door clanged shut. "What do you think you are doing Sister?!?" she asked in bewilderment.
"I'm ensuring MY dominate rule over Equestria," she informed Luna smugly, then her voice dropped to a low, threatening, whisper "Also you should know that I'm going to do what I do to you to every other Princess,". Then Celestia cackled evilly and she went into a crouch and her usual yellow aura turned black as she cast a very bad looking spell. Then Luna felt the energy drain from her limbs and she collapsed as she wondered what spell could make her feel so weak. She looked at her cutie mark for the comfort it usual gives her in bad situations. As Luna turned her head to look at it her heart filled up with dread, THAT'S why she felt so weak. Celestia had taken all of her magic!!!! Luna scrabbled frantically around the cage, trying to find a way out, but she knew it was useless.
"Why Sister, Why? Why are you doing this?!?!" just as she finished her sentence she had been teleported to Tartarus. Luna looked around her cell and pondered on all Celestia had said then she froze. Celestia is going to take Twilight and Cadence's magic too!! "Who could stop an alicorn with that much magic?" She wondered despairingly.
~*~ In Cloudsdale ~*~
Rainbow Flash woke up and yawned and looked at her clock to what time it was. "Uh oh," she muttered, "Boy I'm late for school!' she thought as she saw it was 8:45 jumped out of bed. Then she realized that today is the first day of summer break! "Halaloya!" Flash murmured happily. She plodded down the stairs and hoped breakfast was ready. When she got to the kitchen she found herself in an, awkward, situation. "Am I interrupting?" she questioned her mom, Rainbow Dash, and her dad, Soarin, as she saw them kissing violently on the counter.
"Uh..... maybe?" her dad clumsily answered and looked at her sheepishly.
"What your dad MEANT to say was that we didn't think you'd be up this early," her mom said, looking pretty embarrassed, tried to fix her dad's mistake.
"....... Okay then........." Flash answered them slowly. "But please, when you kiss, don't do it in an area that I come to every day," she grimaced feeling grossed out. "Seriously,".
"I have to go to work now, bye honey, bye Flash," Soarin awkwardly told them, changing the subject while kissing them each in turn.
"Bye Soarin," Dash called to him as he left their cloud house and flew to the factory he works at. "Now, just because it's summer break doesn't mean you can just lye on the couch all day," Flash's mom sternly informed her. "I want you to do some form of exercise today,".
"Does that include snoring?" I asked knowing what the answer to question is already.
"No," my mom told me exasperatedly, "I want you to do something that involves running or flying. If you fly, it has to be at a fast speed. NOT snail speed, don't be lazy. You can go to the Shopping Center in Cloudsdale with your friends if you want, but don't spend to much," Rainbow Dash carefully instructed her daughter, knowing how much she wants to go to Ponyville. "It's not safe in Ponyville," she remembered all the times Flash has asked if she could go down to the ground. "But I want to touch the soil and meet ponies that aren't pegasus!" she had protested strongly. The real reason she wasn't letting Flash go to the ground is because she doesn't want her to know the important role her mother is playing in Equestria. If she knew that her mom was facing deadly villains almost every day then she would freak out. Plus she doesn't want her to meet the other Elements of Harmony because they'll defiantly tell her if no pony else does. Pinkie is such a blabber mouth she will have told Flash everything in under a minute! She was keeping her marriage with Soarin and Flash a secret from every pony outside of Cloudsdale. Soarin understands that so he keeps the secret to. But if somepony in Ponyville sees Flash then they'll wonder if that was me with a different mane style and looking a lot younger. Flash obviously is only 16 so that would be too many questions to answer. "I'm going out to get some groceries and to visit a few of your friends mom's to see if we can schedule a couple sleep-overs," Dash briefly announced, trying to make it seem like it didn't really matter.
"Okay, see you in....... 4 hours?" Flash questioned her.
"Um...... maybe a little longer than 4 hours so don't surprised if I'm home later than that, alright?" Flash's mom requested.
"Okay, I'm good with that, I'll enjoy the quiet," as Flash said this she gave a shrug as though she didn't really care. "Take as long as you need mom, as long as you need.......". But REALLY she was already running through her plan to get to Ponyville.
