The skies the limit

As we reemerged from the teleport, every non-alicorn either wobbled about like a drunk or emptying their stomach of it’s contents in the nearest bush. I turned to see Twilight smiling at me trying to put on a brave face, but Twilight’s cheeks bulged as she also suffered from teleport sickness, quickly swallowing it back down with a grimace on  her face. “Don’t worry everypony, you get used to teleporting after a couple of jumps. The disorientation and vertigo caused by it is only temporary,” I said trying to reassure them.

I turned around and surveyed the area. We were in the marketplace and everypony had either stopped to stare or where already prone on the floor in prostration. I sighed in exasperation, “Please, everypony you do not need to bow while I am here. I shall be staying with Twilight Sparkle, my sister’s protege and my adorable little marefriend for the foreseeable future,” I explained as I wrapped my right wings over Twilight’s back as the mare in question blushed as wolf whistles and catcalls filled the marketplace. I smiled in appreciation of the compliments as Twilight tried to hide her embarrassment with her forelegs, like in that special feeling meme that was on the internet 1500 years ago.

Something flying at high speed entered my local sphere of influence I use to detect my surroundings, disturbing the air. As the high speed object came close enough I willed the wind to slow the object down and guide it safely to the ground. The squeals of three fillies entered my ears causing them to fold against my head. Groaning internally I watched in fascination as the three fillies that held onto a glider, somehow were covered in tree sap and pine needles. They looked around after safely touching the ground, the earth pony filly kissed the ground in relief.

“Scootaloo, Applebloom and Sweetie Belle, are you alright?” I asked, concern lacing my voice, but not because I was worried about their well being,. Twilight rose an eyebrow in suspicion as once again I had displayed knowledge I shouldn’t have. More to the point, these three often became the center of destruction as they crusade together. So I didn’t have time to allay any suspicion Twilight might have. Hang on! This isn’t right! I am not supposed to meet them and they aren’t supposed to be crusading yet!? Oh ponyfeathers! outwardly I didn’t show it but inwardly I was freaking out.

The three adorable harbingers of destruction and mischief, looked for whoever had called them as their eyes centered on me and their respective sisters and surrogate sister puking their guts out. Their eyes widened in fear their tiny ears folding against their heads as they scrambled to prostrate themselves as I caught them in my magic. “Ah, ah, ah you need not worry about bowing, my little ponies. In fact I have a gift for you, young Scootaloo. Lowering my glowing horn I wrapped it in a second layer of magic charge and unleashed my powers as she cringed in fear. When the end didn’t come and she felt something she hadn’t felt before she opened her eyes to look over herself, she could feel the winds, the temperature and a whole lot of things. The most notable change though was her wings that were too tiny to support her like the other pegasi foals, but now they had a longer span, not by much but the change was noticable.

Scootaloo, looked up at me with tears in her eyes, her jaw hanging open as she tried to articulate her tumultuous feelings before she launched herself at me, wrapping her hooves around my neck. Or at least trying to, considering my neck being too thick for her legs to wrap around it. Scootaloo was mumbling her thanks into my coat as she tried to convey her feelings. Bringing up my left foreleg I held the crying filly. Looking around I saw the town’s folk watching the scene unfold as many jaws had unhinged and some mares were even crying in joy at the scene. “You’re very welcome my little pony.” I said as I gave my best motherly smile I could.

Rainbow Dash sped through the air to get in my face, “What did you do to Scootaloo!? If you hurt her, so help me I will make sure that you regret it!” I wrapped my magic around her and plucked her from the sky.

“I only fixed what nature had caused, Scootaloo had very little pegasi magic, and her wings were too small. A rare occurrence in pegasi with mixed heritages. Not everypony is lucky enough that their mixed heritage actually helps rather than handicaps them, miss pegacorn Rainbow Dash. Scootaloo is what is called a heavy pegasus meaning she has many earth ponies in her family ancestry.” I explained as I looked pointedly at Rainbow Dash, both Scootaloo and Rainbow Dash lowered their heads in shame.

“Ah, ah, enough of that right now, There is no shame in having parents or grandparents who are not pegasi or thoroughbred pegasi.” I said as I hugged both of them.

“But how—” I placed my hoof over Rainbow Dash’s mouth

“I can sense the magic in you, I am an alicorn and while not exclusive to alicorns, it’s difficult to learn how, but once you do you can sense your tribes magic.” I explained, while I had them wrapped in my wings, “Rainbow Dash?” I asked, causing the mare in question to stand at attention and salute me. Giggling, I then whispered in her ear, “Rainbow Dash could you spend some time teaching Scootaloo how to fly properly and keep it secret from her? I mean, in regards to the fact that I asked you to do so? Also don’t do it now, just wait a couple of days before you do so, okay?”

“Yes Ma’am! I mean your highness! I will- I mean you don’t need to worry!” Rainbow Dash exclaimed, puffing out her chest in pride, causing me to titter at the display.

“There was never any doubt Rainbow, so long as it is taken care of then you are dismissed,” I jokingly ordered, which she obviously took seriously because Rainbow Dash scooped up Scootaloo

“Come on squirt, let’s get you home!” Rainbow said as she flew off. I sighed in barely restrained amusement as the recovered element bearers trotted off while waving goodbye to me. A tugging on my mane drew my attention down to where Twilight was fidgeting.

She is probably internally reprimanding herself for tugging on my mane, I thought with a roll of my eyes, I spoke “Twilight, will you stop internally reprimanding yourself, this instant!” I exclaimed, Twilight jumped at the sound of my voice, before blushing as I interrupted a no doubt scathing recrimination of her actions. “Now are you going to tell me what you wanted to tell me?” I asked sweetly.

“I-I- just wanted to say that it was a nice thing you did for Scootaloo and to thank you.” Twilight stated with a smile on her face.

“Twilight, any good person would do it if they could, surely doing it myself should be no surprise?” I asked her.

“Exactly! What you did was something that they couldn’t do. I heard from other residents in Ponyville about Scootaloo and how nopony had been able to help her. Then in you stroll like ‘a boss,’ at least I think that is the term ponies use, and cure Scootaloo like it was nothing. So thank you and honestly, I believe you just scored a major reputation boost in Ponyville just by doing it!” Twilight stated as she jumped up and down in excitement. I had to laugh at her enthusiasm and then I leant down and nuzzled against her face, to show my appreciation, causing Twilight’s face to heat up in a blush.

“Thank you for the kind words, Twilight.” I said smiling warmly at her “So shall we go to your home?” I asked,

“Oh? Okay!” Twilight beamed as she trotted off leading me towards her home, Golden Oaks library. As we both made it to the door of the library, it burst open with Spike tackling Twilight, “Twilight, I am so glad you’re home! I miss—” Spike cut himself off as he saw me and immediately prostrated himself to me.

“Is this going to happen every time I meet someone new?” I groused as Twilight giggled.

“Spike get off the floor. This is Princess Sora, and she’s-” Twilight said, mumbling the last part so nopony could hear her embarrassment as she blushing profusely and fidgeted … .

I rolled my eyes at Twilight’s embarrassment and timidity. “Spike, I am-” Twilight covered my mouth with her magic, I raised an eyebrow , before smirking smugly as the air in the library filled with my voice “-Twilight’s betrothed.” I look over at Twilight’s face of horror as I had bypassed her magic.

“Oh! Well congratulations, Twilight! You finally snagged yourself a princess,” Spike commented causing me to raise my eyebrow again as I watched the scene unfolding. “I wonder, does that make you a knight in shining armor.”  Twilight growled in frustration and blushed in embarrassment. I considered what Spike had said and an idea formed in my mind. I prepared all my creativity to make Twilight a cute/sexy set of armor. Just before she leapt to attack her cheeky assistant Twilight’s body was encased in light, before it shattered revealing beautiful armor.

“Oh my knight in shining armor!” I squeed as I glomped Twilight as she flailed trying to get at Spike.

“Twilight? You don’t mind if I increase the space inside the library do you?”

“Yeah, fine whatever!” Twilight near shouted as she teleported out of my grasp before proceeding to chase Spike around the room. Closing my eyes I took hold of the fabric of reality and expanded the interior of the building as the exterior also grew tall and wide. more bookshelves came into existence, the fireplace to the left of me expanding in width and height as the mantle also increased in size, in front of it a metal wrought iron fire guard and fire poker appeared with golden trim. The kitchen also increased in floor space as I added more work tops and appliances. The stairs to the bathroom and the bedrooms widened. With Twilight oblivious to the changes happening to her library home as she chased Spike.

Upstairs I increased the size of her bed changing it so it was similar to Celestia’s and by adding a cloud mattress and various other extremely soft bedding, at the top of the library I added a powerful telescope, for when Twilight would stargaze and widened and increased the canopy in height, the treehouse was now the tallest building in Ponyville giving Twilight unfettered access to the stars. I also added caverns and more space to the basement laboratory, each tunnel snaked through Ponyville ending in secret entrances. One led to the castle of the two sisters, another to whitetail woods, one to Zecora’s, and another to Mount Canter’s gem mines. Note to self fix up the gem mines before allowing access.

As I finished up I heard a scream issuing from none other than Rarity, opening my eyes I spot Rarity pulling out a chaise lounger from nowhere Hey reality warping is my, Discord and Pinkie’s schtick. I thought indignantly. Spike and Twilight stop their game of cat and mouse, Also watching the fashionista intently.

“Oh Twilight darling who made you wear that abomination, that crime against all things fashionable!?” Rarity screeched.

With wide eyes Twilight and Spike immediately point at me.

Traitors!

“You! I can’t let such a-” muffling Rarity with my magic, I clear my throat.

“No, don’t you start talking about fabulosity, which isn’t even a word. Armor is meant to be functional and practical, not form completely, ones like that would be useless in a fight and I will not let you tarnish the name of armor under a misguided belief in aesthetics over utility.

You want to see if you can do better that’s fine, but remember function and utility must not be sacrificed for aesthetic appearances and if there are any exposed areas they must be cover in chainmail at the very least,” I explained the terms of the challenge, before releasing Rarity’s muzzle.

Rarity huffed, “Come along Spikey wikey, we have work to do!” Rarity called behind her as she raised her nose in the air in that haughty way nobles would and left the library, followed by a floating Spike, using his tail to propel him forward.

Twilight blinked and looked around the library, “huh, is it me or is the library bigger now?”

“Yes, look outside I couldn’t expand it too much externally.” I replied as Twilight poked her head out the door then, she looked inside trying to compare the two.

“It’s bigger on the inside!” Twilight exclaimed in awe. Then her face lit up as she smiled widely, her eyes sparkling in joy. “Imaging just how many more books I can put in here, I have to ask Celestia if she’ll send me more books” Twilight rushed up stairs.

“Oh my Faust, It’s Celestia’s bed! Wait, why is it pink? What!? It’s my bed!” Twilight screeched out loud, I chuckled at her reaction and proceeded to climb the stairs. As I reached Twilight’s bedroom I was immediately faced with the lavender mare as she foisted a scroll upon me.

“Can you send that to your sister? Spike has already left.” Twilight asked before widening her eyes and sticking out her bottom lip in a pout. I giggled at her antics and gave her a kiss on the lips before responding.

“Of course m’lady.” I responded hamming it up by giving her a flourishing bow.

I took the scroll in my magic and incinerated it sending it on it’s way. As Twilight bounced up and down in excitement. The sight brought a smile to my lips.

We didn’t have to wait long as a scroll burst into existence above my head, I caught it in my magic and read it outloud.

“To My faithful student and future Sister-in-law—” I started as Twilight blushed at the familial title.

“I am afraid, we cannot supply all the books you requested as no doubt you're aware by now Sora tends to over do it—”

“Hey! I do not over do it!” I said indignantly it was now my turn to pout “At least not all the time,” I added in addendum.

Continuing pointedly ignoring the giggling coming from Twilight “—we do not have enough books to fill all your requirements however we shall put in an order for several new books that have come out in recent years, so please be patient Twilight.

Sincerely yours,

Princess Celestia

P.S I’ll be  sending along tickets for Sora and you for admission to the Grand Galloping Gala shortly and your two spare tickets ”

I shook my head, Must not interfere with my sisters trolling briefly.I thought to myself keeping a mask of tranquility on my face as four tickets popped from flame as I imagined Celestia with a massive trollish grin. Oh sister, you are just evil.

I took two for me and Twilight and gave Twilight the other two.

“Any Ideas on who to give those spare tickets to?” I asked knowing all too well that a simple letter to my sister would fix this. But Twilight has to learn this lesson. My rumination was interrupted by Twilight’s exclamation.

“Oh no! I forgot I need to help Applejack with her apple bucking.” Twilight sped off to get ready. while I slowly followed her dust trail left from her abrupt exit. As I went down I sighed as I saw the tip of Twilight’s tail leave the library. Before she returned, rubbing the back of her neck in embarrassment.

“Um sorry about that Sora but would you be my plus one … baby?” Twilight asked as sweetly as she could. That ‘baby’ at the end seemed to be so forced and tacked on as an afterthought. Bless her, she’s trying. Although she still needs to work on it, it’s kinda adorable really.

“Sure, I will be your date for the Grand Galloping Gala.” I smiled down at Twilight “Although I thought that was a given?” I asked her as my smile transformed into a smirk.

“O-Oh right I um ignore what I just said.” Twilight asked a nervous smile on her face as she rubbed her neck.

“What and forget you adorably trying to flirt and seduce me, my dear you are just too cute for me to do such a thing.” I smiled down at Twilight before I scooped her into my legs and kissed her on the lips then on her nose, which caused her snout to wrinkle cutely. Putting Twilight down again her ears folding back as her face lit up in embarrassment as she scuffed her right hoof on the library floor.

“Anyway, we gotta go or we’ll be late, err I mean even more late with helping AJ!” Twilight exclaimed as she dashed out of the library. Shaking my head in amusement I trotted out, after picking up the two spare tickets Twilight had left behind.

******

I ran as fast as I could to get to AJ’s orchard, having left Sora home at the library. As I came upon AJ bucking her trees filling buckets around the tree. I called out “AJ! I’m here! Sorry I’m late.” I panted as I out of breath forgetting I was still in armor, AJ startled rising up her forelegs.

“Whoa, Twi’ ya look like yer ready fer a battle! Ah doubt these here apples will be that difficult to rustle up. Anyway yer here now so.” AJ paused to place a pair of full buckets on my back careful to avoid the great sword stuck there.”Take these here apples to the cellar.” I braced myself under the weight and blushed. “Anyways you remember the bet is to get these golden delicious over to the cellar before the end of the day or I’ll have to wear granny’s girdle!”

I spot Sora appearing out of nowhere behind AJ, “Oh I don’t know AJ I think you’d look good in a girdle.” Sora said with a large grin on her face as she ate an apple, causing AJ to jump in the air dropping her cargo in the process. I stifled a giggle as I helped AJ up, who was grumbling.

“Mah golden delicious apples!” AJ rounded on Sora who held a smug smile as she ate her apple.

“For shame AJ those are obviously red delicious apples not golden delicious, were you so excited to see your brother in a girdle you lost your wits?”

“Consarnit Princess Sora!” AJ declared angrily.

“Pft what did I say about the honorifics, AJ? Anyway Twilight how could you leave me like that? I’m hurt.” Sora accused me feigning hurt.

I shook my head, “Sora stop playing around.”

“Princess I dun take kindly to yer insinuating that ah be havin’ designs on bedding mah brother! Anyway that’s more for you Canterlot folk.” AJ shot back with a smirk.

“Alas tis true, but what pony could blame me with my sister’s being the second hottest ponies in existence!”  AJ was taken aback by Sora’s admission, Truth be told I am guilty for having idle fantasies of the princesses too. Wait did she just say second hottest!? Whom could Sora mean?

AJ composed herself, although I noticed a look of respect fill her features briefly, “Now hang on! Yer sisters are the most beautiful mares in the world! Who could beat them? Surely yer not vain enough to think yer number one?” AJ exclaimed, as a smirk and playful sparkle filled Sora’s eyes, the same look Princess Celestia got when she was about to spring a trap on an unsuspecting pony usually me or some entitled noble, who would just walked into it.

“Why AJ, who could be more beautiful than my own beloved Twilight?” Sora asked, that smile still on her face as AJ’s eyes widened in shock as she realised what she had walked into. A blush and flutter filled my heart at the high praise Sora was saying about me.

AJ’s face and ears fell in shame as she took off her hat, “Well played yer majesty, I fell right into that one.”

“Sora please play nice with my friends.” I implored her.

“Ok Twilight.” Sora held out her right fore hoof to AJ “Truce?” Sora asked. AJ looked at Sora’s outstretched hoof, spit in her own hoof, Sora followed suit and they both shook on it as I winced at the squelching sound.

“Truce,” AJ said

“AJ as way of apology I finished your task for you.” Sora responded sincerely.

“But how? I din’ see yer horn glowin’ or nuthin’!?” AJ asked,

“AJ, what part of I am a reality warping goddess, don’t you get? And also what would I use it for if not abusing it to help ponies in need, I certainly wouldn’t use it in a fight or a contest, there is no honor in that!” Sora responded.

“I- err, thanks I guess, yer Majesty,” AJ responded unsurely.

“You’re not going to drop the honorific are you?” Sora asked in exasperation.

“Nuthin’ doin’! Yer a Princess and ya deserve respect,” AJ shot back,

AJ missed Sora hanging her head sadly and saying under her breath “Respect or fear, AJ? Respect or fear?”  Which made me grimace, as I also when from being just a bookish unicorn mare to a very visible political figure once Princess Celestia accepted me as her royal protege. I trotted up to Sora after depositing my load of apples and nuzzling up to her. Sora smiled gratefully at me.

“Sora did you remember the tickets?” I asked.

“Yes dear, I did.” Sora replied holding the tickets up in her magic.

“Ticket? What ticket?” AJ asked as she leaned in to get a better look at them

“Yeah! What ticket?” Rainbow Dash parroted as she landed on AJ, laying her head on AJ’s head and knocking her hat off in the process.

“RD! What are ya doin’ here!? I thought ya were too busy to help? What was it you were doin’?” AJ asked indignantly.

“Cloudchaser and Flitter.” Rainbow responded immediately with no sense of shame, causing AJ to sputter in embarrassment.

“What about Scootaloo?” Sora asked a severe look on her face.

“What no! She was at school! I’d never subject a little filly to that, especially not my Scoots!” Rainbow exclaimed and Sora’s severe glare lessened, until it disappeared.

Wow I have never seen, Sora get so ang- okay strike that I have, but not at a pony and not including Shining, although both times it involved a child, her own and now Scootaloo?

“So yeah what’s the ticket for!?” Rainbow asked again as she shot closer and read the ticket.

“The Grand Galloping Gala!” Rainbow exclaimed in excitement.

Sora’s face gained a look of horror, before quickly yelling “Hey look a distraction!” In a moment of stupidity both of my friends turn to look away as Sora picks me up and runs through what feels like a curtain and in suddenly in empty space.

Hurriedly Sora called to me “Close your eyes Twilight, this place is not meant for mortal eyes!” I quickly shut my eyes tightly.

“Why?” I asked in confusion,

Sora responded “This is the void, the world between worlds, the in between, the nothing, the nowhen or nowhere. The gap in realities, this is a realm where mortals cannot comprehend the creatures here, Mortals who try go insane from the non-euclidean geometries and alienness of them.”

“Then why are we even here then?” I exclaimed.

“It’s a shortcut, but we should not tarry as my influence here is weaker, than in our world.”

We brushed through another curtain as we fell to the floor. Opening my eyes I saw Sora casually place the spare tickets on the libraries desk. hang on since when did-? Oh right Sora upgraded my library.

Not a moment later Rarity walked in her eyes closed, “Twilight darling did you happen to have a copy of Metalworking for Novices. Smiling I levitated a copy over to her,

“Thank you darling I-,” Rarity stopped mid sentence to sniff the air, I covertly smelt under my forelegs, Thank Celestia! It’s not me!

Rarity stopped sniffing and said aloud “I smell cronyism and nobility!” Rarity said as she sniffed out the source. Her eyes fell on the prize. “I’d recognise those tickets. Twilight how could you! You know how I want to show off my fashion to the nobles! I could impress the nobles enough that they’d want to be able to drop my name as in their circle of associates! Both of which I could do at the Grand Galloping Gala!” Rarity cried out as she missed Sora face hoofing.

Rarity harrumphed as she left the library with the book on metalworking.

“Well that went well,” Sora remarked sarcastically as she shook her head.

“Hey Twilight have you seen Princess Sora!?” Pinkie Pie exclaimed as she burst through the doors or the library.

“Oh! There she is! I just came here to invite you to your welcome to Ponyville party later on! Oh, oh! You could bring your very special somepony!” Pinkie added conspiratorially to Sora.

“I am right here, you know?” I stated as the preposterously pesky Pink party pony attempted to hide it from me.

“Oh wow, Twilight! I didn’t see you there! Do you know who Princess Sora’s special somepony is?” Pinkie asked in that saccharine way that seemed to be layered on so thick that I thought that sentence would have contracted type 2 diabetes merely being spoken by the mare. I ground my teeth together in frustration.

“Pinkie! I am Princess Sora’s special somepony!” I exclaimed as Pinkie gasped and jumped up in shock in much the same way she did when we first met.

“Really Twilight!? I am so happy for you!” Pinkie’s smile appeared to reach inequine limits as her grin took up almost her entire face.

“Oh! I gotta go change the party banner to: Welcome to Ponyville Princess Sora and Congrats on Popping Twi’s Cherry!” Pinkie exclaimed and disappeared in a cloud of pink smoke.

“Wait, Pinkie! I—am still a virgin!” I finished weakly. Turning to see Sora smiling.

“You do know that I could help you with that virgin problem?” Sora said in a husky voice filled with lust as her eyes half lidded as she drew closer to me in a predatory fashion, all I could say was “Eep!” as the Sora picked me up and peppered me with kisses.

“Um, Twilight, can you help me with Ange-” Fluttershy walked in as Sora and I were in a compromising position, much to my dismay, and Sora’s chagrin.

“Cunt blocker!” Sora said under her breath so as not to alert the timid Fluttershy of her displeasure.

“Oh! Um, I can come back later, I-” Fluttershy darted out of the library door, a deep blush adorning her face.

I groaned, “Well I better go see what Fluttershy wanted.” I shimmied out from under a grouchy Sora and kissed her on the forehead.

“I’m going to take a cold shower,” Sora grumbled as she got up and made her way upstairs.

Making my way out the door, I saw a pink tail poking out of a bush near the library. Grabbing it I pulled Fluttershy out of the bush.

The timid mare looked up at me as I gave her a deadpan look, “Oh! Hi, Twilight, er nice weather we’re having,” Fluttershy said in an attempt to distract from Twilight from her mishap.

“I am so sorry Twilight, I know what it’s like and you must be very angry with me. Like Angel bunny is when I accidently walk in on him and some doe. Not that Princess Sora’s just some doe- I mean Somepony. I’ll be quiet now,” Fluttershy rambled, before hiding under her forehooves and letting out a squeak, I rolled my eyes as I levitated Fluttershy up in response she curled up into a tight little ball like a hedgehog. “Fluttershy if you don’t say anything I’ll give you this tick-” I started but was interrupted by the blue menace that is Rainbow dyke- I mean Dash.

“Hey those tickets is ours!” Rainbow exclaimed, followed by AJ.

“Whatever do you mean darlings? What would you want with two tickets to the prissiest, most frou-frou event imaginable? Rarity asked, “However, it does not matter. They are mine, I need them to drum up business for my boutique.”

“Well tha’s a mite rude Rarity, yer see, I asked RD to take me out somewhere fancy and how much fancier can yer get than the Grand Galloping Gala!?” AJ asked rhetorically.

A scroll appeared in front of Twilight

‘Dear Twilight,

By now your friends will be arguing over the tickets,

here is my ticket give it to Rarity and give the spares to the love birds.

Before you respond I never really needed it as a princess, so before you start to worry I am still going with you, Twilight. It’s not like they can stop me anyway. Who are they going to get? That guy who can stop me, what was his name, Micheal Mc-doesn’t-exist.

Your blushing princess bride-to-be

Sora.’

“No! I am not going to ruin the GGG for Celestia or Sora, so I am not going if my friends can’t.” I stated resolutely, I wrote a quick scroll explaining to Princess Celestia. and sending the tickets back. Having seen Sora using the spell to send letters, I can now do it myself. And off it goes.

A letter returned almost immediately, arousing my suspicions, so opening it I read it. ‘To my faithful student, Why didn’t you say so, Twilight, here are tickets for your all your friends, plus Spike.’ My eye twitched.

“Oh Rarity, where is Spike?” I asked, feeling a little guilty that I forgot him in the chaos.

“Hmmn? Oh yes, the darling is fine. He’s playing with Sweetie Belle.”

******

Meanwhile in Sweetie Belle’s room, Spike sat at a tiny table with teacups and a grumpy look on his face.

“So Spike, can you tell me what Princess Sora is like? I haven’t heard of her and does she have a very special somepony.

Spike screamed internally at the implications, “Um Sweetie Belle I don’t know much about her, but she is betrothed to Twilight,” Spike said hurriedly, hoping to nip in the bud any plans the little filly might have.

“What does beetroved mean?” Sweetie asked confused.

“It means they are going to be wed, but they aren’t married yet.”

“Aww!” Sweetie Belle visibly deflated.

******

I had just finished my cold shower after sending my ticket to Twilight, as I was drying off I shuddered as I felt a disturbance in the force—or it could just be that cold shower I just took.

******

In the Sparkle house, at roughly the same time, Twilight Velvet is shaking in rage as her son Shining Armor and I cowered behind a sofa.

“Betrothed!? Twilight is betrothed to whom!?” Twilight Velvet visibly shook as Nightlight kept trying to soothe her.

“My mother, Princess Sora, sister of Celestia and Luna,” I said tentatively explained popping my head up briefly.

“A Princess? Okay, that’s not so bad. Celestia’s sister, you say? But still why are you telling me this and not Twilight?”

“Well, Twilight had to recuperate after suffering being in the proximity of Princess Sora’s killing intent  which she intended to be only for me, but I guess she didn’t think how her killing intent might affect the ponies around her, even if it was only meant to scare the Tartarus out of me, when she discovered I was dating her daughter as she threatened me. You know, the one where if I hurt Cadance, that cliche, that usually fathers say, in fact why was she saying that?” Shining Armor asked.

“As should any mother worth her salt, when it comes to their daughters.” Twilight Velvet interjected.

“Err, actually Shiny, my Father, Princess Amore died, in the Crystal empire, while my mother, was acting as regent to Equestria as when King Sombra first attacked. She was visiting Aunt Celestia and Luna at the time. Celestia and Luna left to free the empire, but that final monstrous act by king sombra cursed the empire to disappear. But not before killing my Father,” I said quietly as melancholy took hold of me, I leaned into Shining Armor’s embrace.

“Crystal Empire?” Shining asked me

“It was lost over a thousand years ago.”

Shining Armor shook his head and continued where he left off “-most of us recovered, Twilight might take some time, especially after having witnessed Princess Sora devour an adult dragon, in order to protect her. Of course, Princess Sora told Twilight not to watch, however, Twilight’s curiosity got the better of her and she looked to see what was happening. That, plus the killing intent shook her, while she could logically understand that her fear was irrational, fears seldom require logic to affect those who are affected by that particular fear.”

Velvet covered her mouth with her hooves as tears began to fall, “Oh my poor little filly.” Twilight Velvet quickly composed herself “However that is still no excuse! I am going to spank her the next time I see her, for not coming to see me first thing.”
