My little Pony the next gen

10 years later. In ponyville, Sparkle and AppleHeart were walking to sugar cube corner.

"So, how is it? Being a princess? Or being a daughter of the pony who single hoofed stopped Starlight from destroying ponyville?"asked AppleHeart.

"Well, its scary. After Mum becomes Great Aunt Celestia's successor, I'm going to be the next princess of friendship. I have been studying the magic of friendship, but I don't know what to do"said Sparkle.

"Don't worry, I'm sure you'll do fine. Besides I'm not sure if I want be a fashionista like mum or work on Dad's farm"said AppleHeart.

"Well, Shocker knows what he wants to do. He wants be a wonderbolt, just like Aunt Rainbow Dash and Uncle Soarin"said Sparkle.

"hahahahaha, yeah. Hey look we're nearly there. C'mon"said AppleHeart.

They went inside. Meanwhile a grey unicorn was on a hill, he looking over all the ponies.

"Hmmm. Ugh! 'Go ponyville' he said, 'find some servants' he said. That guy is so stupid. He enslaved thousands of ponies, and what happens to him, he gets defeated by three princesses. I would be find he didn't regenerate from his horn. *sighs*  Dad....."he said.

In sugar cube corner, AppleHeart and Sparkle saw Cheesey pie all messed up and tired.

"Whoa Cheese, are you ok?"asked Sparkle.

"Well,yes and no. Mum's pregnant, and since Dad is all over Equestria being the party pony of the family, I'm only the only one working here"said Cheesey.

"What about Pound and Pumpkin, can they help you?"asked AppleHeart.

"No, Grandma Cupcake and Grandpa Carrot Cake, have a huge delivery, they're going to be gone for ten moons"said Cheesey.

"And Pound and Pumpkin went with them?"asked AppleHeart.

"Yeah."said Cheesey.

"Hmm, I'm gonna get the guys and AppleHeart, try and ask Discord if Chaota can come and help."said Sparkle.

"Chaotra?"asked Cheesey, while slightly blushing

"I think I can, but only if Discord will allow me through his magic boarder."said AppleHeart.

"Don't worry, I heard Fluttershy tell Mum that Discord only allows Chaota's friends through the boarder"said Sparkle.

"Well, get going."said Cheesey.

AppleHeart went to get Chatoa, while Sparkle went to get Shocker and Golden Shill. The grey unicorn spotted Sparkle.

"An alicorn? But Dad said that he only gotten defeated by three, now there's four?"he asked himself

He hid in a bush and spied on Sparkle.

"She's kinda cute but um, c'mon Dark, focus on your mission"he thought.

Golden Shill and Shocker went to sugar cube corner and Sparkle heard rustling.

"Oh shoot"Dark thought.

"Is anypony there?"asked Sparkle.

"Sis?"asked Shocker.

"You guys go, I'll catch up"said Sparkle.

Shocker and Golden Shill went to sugar cube corner. But Sparkle kept on looking towards the bush.

"Listen if you're a changling or just a young pony, I'm not going to scare you."said Sparkle

"Well you should be scared of me"said Dark

He got out of the bush, and he was trying to scare Sparkle off but she began to laugh.

"You don't find me scary?"asked Dark.

"No, not really, you're a stallion."said Sparkle, she noticed something about Dark.

" No cutiemark? Either He doesn't know his talent or he doesn't care about his destiny"Sparkle thought.

She walked closer to Dark but he stepped backwards.

"I'm not going to hurt you. I'm Sparkle Shine, daughter of Twilight and Rainbow Blitz"said Sparkle.

"I'm Dark Crystal, and its better off if you don't my parents, I feel like I dont have any."said Dark.

"No. What happened?"asked Sparkle

"My mum vanished when I was a foal, and my dad....doesn't spend time with me"said Dark.

"Hmm, well I'll spend time with you"said Sparkle.

"Huh?"Dark asked.

"We can be friends"said Sparkle.

"Shine....."Dark said with concern.

Sparkle smiled at him and Dark began to blush. He then smiled back. They went to the hill where Dark was before .

"Hey Dark I'm glad that we're friends, because when my mum becomes Great Aunt Celestia's successor, I'm gonna have to continue of the princess of friendship."said Sparkle.

"But don't you already have friends?"asked Dark.

"Yeah, but they don't know how much pressure I'm under, they all say I'm going be fine, including my brother"said Sparkle.

"I understand pressure, from everything I heard about my father, he's been trying make me like him"said Dark.

"Dark......"Sparkle said with concern.

" Why am I telling her this? My Dad will kill her. She doesn't get my father is....King Sombra!"Dark thought

"Oh pony feathers. I forgot!"said Sparkle

"Forgot what, Shine?"asked Dark

"I promised to help my friend with his job"said Sparkle

"'His'? She friends with another stallion? Why do I feel jealous all of a sudden?" Dark thought

"Sorry Dark but I need to go"said Sparkle

She ran all the way to sugar cube corner

"So sorry, I met a pony, and time flew by."said Sparkle

Shocker walked to Sparkle, to talk to her in private.

"Sis, if you would'of  told me that AppleHeart is going to be here, I would'of said no"Shocker whispered.

"Really, I thought you had a little crush on her"Sparkle whispered.

"Spark!"Shocker whispered.

"Sorry."Sparkle whispered.

"Besides Sparkle, you missed lunch hour, Sugar Cube Corner's closed, but please be on time tomorrow"said Cheesey.

Shocker and Sparkle went back to their castle and went to bed. Dark went back to his home. Both Sparkle and Dark began to think about each other.
