The New Lunar Family
Prologue
___________________________________________________________
Nightmare Moon cocked an eyebrow in confusion. “You still don’t have the sixth Element! The spark didn’t work!”
Twilight smiled confidentaly. But it did! A different kind of spark.” She turned around to the other five ponies. “I felt it the very moment I realized how happy I was to hear you, to see you, how much I cared about you. The spark ignited inside me when I realized that you all—”
Her words, however, were cut off as Nightmare Moon teleported right above her and slammed her rump down on Twilight. Specifically, her vagina.
Before Twilight could even respond, her head was pushed right through the lips of Nightmare Moon’s lower regions.
Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Applejack and Fluttershy all stared with mouth open in horror as Twilight disappeared as Nightmare lowered herself down further and further, until the lavender mare had been completely swallowed by Nightmare’s body, her stomach distending as the mare settled within, the regularly appearing bumps indicating Twilight’s panicked attempts to escape her fleshy prison.
She leered down at the ponies, before laughing.
“You little foals! Thinking you could defeat me?! Your precious leader is now gone and—”
Suddenly, there was a flash of light above the six ponies, who all looked up to see a stone orb with a six pointed star symbol floating above them.
“What?” Nightmare Moon yelled, her eyes wide. “But, how?”
Before anypony could figure out just what was going on, the orb shot towards Nightmare, going around her and—
“YIP!” the dark Alicorn yelled as the orb shoved itself up and through her baby door.
The other ponies watched in a combination of morbid curiosity and disgust as they could see the orb against Nightmare’s distended stomach, it moving up until one specific spot.
The stones around the all five ponies glowed brightly, changing colour and moving onto them, changing into gemstone on golden necklaces.
“No! No, no, stop! Stop!” Nightmare Moon cried in panic, trying to move away quickly, but her now severely bloated belly made quick movement impossible.
She could feel it. Something was rising from within in her body, harmonizing with energies of the ponies before her.
The mares before her all glowed with a blue, orange, pink, red and purple light, before the energies shot forward, zooming toward and then behind her.
“Nooo!” she yelled, feeling something hot boiling from within her. “Nooo!”
She cried out as her belly shone brightly with rainbow light, a stream of it spinning out from within and wrapping all around her, the brightness blinding all present.
When the light faded, the five mares groaned.
“Ugh, my head,” Rainbow Dash got up, rubbing her head with a hoof.
Applejack lifted her head and glanced around. “Everypony okay?”
“Oh, thank goodness.”
“Why Rarity, it’s so lovely,” the others turned to see Fluttershy talking to the unicorn.
Rarity flourished her now returned to its previous splendour tail. “I know! I’ll never part with it again.”
Fluttershy shook her head. “No. Your necklace. It looks just like your cutie mark.”
Rarity glanced down at the necklace she hadn’t noticed until now, before looking to Fluttershy. “What? Ooh. So does yours.”
Fluttershy gasped upon seeing it.
“Look at mine! Look at mine!” Pinkie Pie chirped excitedly, bouncing over to Applejack, who glanced down at her own.
“Aw yeah,” Rainbow Dash grinned, puffing out her chest and the gem upon it.
“Gee, Twilight!” Applejack began. “I thought you were just spoutin’ a lot of hooey, but… Twilight? Twilight?”
They all looked around frantically, calling Twilight’s name.
“Princess Luna!” a voice that wasn’t whom they’d expected said, causing them all to look towards where Nightmare Moon had been to see… a slightly smaller deep-blue mare with a starry mane and—
“Princess Celestia?!”
The white Alicorn paid them no mind, though, as she kneeled down to the other Alicorn.
Princess Celestia sighed. “It has been a thousand years since I have seen you like this. Time to put our differences behind us. We were meant to rule together, little sister.”
Rainbow Dash gawked. “Sister?”
Celestia continued to pay no mind to the other ponies, her eyes firmly the mare before her. “Will you accept my friendship?”
This Princess Luna hesitated for a moment, before leaning forward, embracing the other Alicorn. “I’m so sorry! I missed you so much, big sister!”
Celestia held her close. “I’ve missed you, too. Though…” Celestia’s tone became confused as she pulled back a bit, looking Luna over, “I don’t understand… this.”
Celestia indicated to the other Alicorn’s swollen belly.
Luna blinked, as if confused herself, before her face became one of horror, followed by shock, then horror again, before she yelled, dropping to her side.
“Luna, what’s wrong?!” Celestia cried, her tone now filled with fear.
“Wait a minute,” Rainbow Dash slowly looked to the others. “If Twilight’s not here, Princess Luna’s stomach is huge and she’s suddenly in pain, doesn’t that mean…?”
All their faces paled.
Luna gave a final scream and the sound of a yell was followed by a plopping sound.
“Ew!” said a familiar, though higher pitched voice. “What am I cowewed in?”
Slowly, the other ponies moved behind the heavily breathing Princess Luna to see… a very small lavender filly, barely more than a baby, covered in gunk.
She looked like Twilight… except for the wings on each of her sides.
“What in Equestria?!” Princess Celestia yelled.
The filly jumped, her head whirling left and right before she spotted the far taller Alicorn.
“Princess Celestia!” she said excitedly and start to move toward her, when she paused, frowning. “Uh… Princess, when did you get so much taller?”
“Twilight?!”
The filly turned and blinked in confusion at the other ponies.
“Guys? When’d you all get so big and… wait.” She glanced around. “What happen’ to Nightmare Moon… Wait. Who’re you?” Twilight pointed to the still down Princess Luna, before her eyes seemed to be drawn to the appendage with which she was pointing. “No, wait. What? What?! Why do I have wings?!” she cried, her wings flapping about franticly.
“Yer smaller than my little sister,” Applejack shook her head. “How in the hay did that happen?”
“I… but… how…?” the Solar Princess just opened and closed her mouth, unable to understand what was going on.
Author's Note
This is that other story I mentioned.
So... Yeah. Nightmare unintentionally unbirthed Twilight and turned her into an Alicorn prematurely.
...
This just got awkward.
I'm sure you've noticed the similar premise: Twilight being turned into an Alicorn via unplanned unbirthing... with obvious differences, of course, though both set in or before season 1, ironically enough, since i'm planning on marathoning it for the 10th anniversary tomorrow.
The cover art is a LITTLE misleading, I guess, since Twilight is but isn't a baby. it's a little tricky to explain without spoiling further into the story, so you'll have to wait til later to understand how old Twilight has become. But for size reference, think Pipsqueak.
And, to answer the question, Luna looks like she does in Luna Eclipsed because of the magic that burst from within her, Twilight's years of experience being given to Luna, thus Luna isn't as small as she actually was in the premiere.
Don't really have anything else I can think of to say, so, til next time, stay safe, stay clean and see ya later, everybody
Chapter 1
___________________________________________________________
“So… what kind of party would this be?” Pinkie Pie asked, glancing around at the gathered ponies, including the new miniature Alicorn who was still freaking out about her new appendages.
“I… I don’t…” Celestia just stared at the purple Alicorn, her mind blank. She had intended Twilight to learn the magic of friendship, then see if she could get her to finish Star Swirl’s spell to see if that would turn her into an Alicorn… but all those plans had been uprooted.
Twilight was already an Alicorn. How… Celestia wasn’t exactly sure. The looks on the five ponies whom Twilight had become friends with told her it was not something necessarily good, but she wasn’t sure what that meant,
“Can… can somepony please explain… what exactly happened here?” Celestia finally managed after what felt like hours.
This only seemed to make the five non-Alicorns in the room more uncomfortable, them all blushing heavily.
“Um…” Rainbow Dash looked away, rubbing a foreleg.
“Well…” Pinkie Pie said uncertainly.
“It… well, you see… um…” Rarity trailed off.
“Oh my,” Fluttershy hid her face behind her mane.
“Well, urm, ya see, Yer Majesty, urm,” Applejack spoke up, it taking considerable effort to find the right words, “we helped Twilight stop Nightmare Moon, but she… well, ya see the Nightmare, she… well… she took Twi and… kinda… gave… birth… to her?”
Celestia’s expression went completely blank. “What?”
The farm mare coughed, trying to shore herself up, before conituniing. “Well, urm, if’n ya’ll pardon mah language, Yer Highness, ’efore the Elements freed yer sister fr’m the Nightmare, she took Twilight… Oh, sweet Celestia, this is hard.”
Celestia cocked an eyebrow. Were ponies still swearing upon her name? She thought she’d stamped out that quirk three hundred and thirty-five years ago. Seemed she was wrong.
Applejack took a few moments, before taking a deep breath, firmed her expression and went on. “T’ put it bluntly, Yer Highness, yer sister sucked Twi up her coochy and gave birth t’ Twi after the fact. Why Twi’s an Alicorn now… ah ain’t got the foggiest idea.”
Celestia just stared at the orange mare for several long and, honestly, uncomfortable amount of moments, before she gave a light chuckle.
“Okay, very amusing,” she roll her eyes. “I do like a joke as much as the next mare, but I need what really happened.” She glanced to the blue Alicorn. “Luna, what really happened? Luna?”
Celestia became considered with the mixture of emotions on her sister’s face.
There was clear regret and concern, which were understandable, given everything the Nightmare had put them through… but it was the mixture of confusion, joy and mortification that worried the Solar Sister.
“She… she speaks the truth, sister,” Luna murmured, her voice filled with all the emotions on her face, sounding weirder than they appeared. Luna turned to face her sister. “I… or, the Nightmare… did do as that mare says. She took the young purple mare inside me and… I and…”
All head turned to the still freaking out purple Alicorn, who, apparently, was took fixed in her fear as to how she got wings and shrunk to have even been paying attention to the conversation going on around her.
“So… does this mean Twilight’s your niece now, Princess?” Rainbow Dash asked, looking the white Alicorn.
“Huh?” Celestia looked to the Pegasus, very perplexed by the question.
“Well, forgive me for being so prude with my words, Your Highness,” Rarity said, gulping, “but, if your sister just gave birth to Twilight, would that not make your sister her mother?”
“I… oh, well…” Celestia trailed off.
How did she answer that? Not simply because of the general implications, but with Twilight’s history…
It was only after several moments of silent thought, something else occurred to Celestia. There was absolute silence in the room.
Turning her gaze, everypony else following suit, she looked to the little Alicorn, who was standing deathly still.
Twilight’s gaze was fixed on Luna, her expression unclear beyond shock. “Princess Celestia’s sister… is my mother?”
Luna shifted, moving to stand. “I-I promise, dear pony, I would never try to take you from your—”
“I have a mother?!”
That caused everypony to pause, Luna blinking in confusion. “Beg pardon?”
Twilight just stared at the dark-blue Alicorn for several long moments, emotions waring to show which of them wanted to show on her face.
As everypony watched on, she bit her lip, her eyes scrunching, tears welling in her eyes and she began to sob.
“I… sister what is…?” Luna tried to say, looking from the sobbing filly, whom was now being comforted by Fluttershy, to her sister.
“I… I don’t know, Luna,” Celestia shook her head slowly. “I… I just don’t know.”
___________________________________________________________
“Tis… vexing,” Luna murmured to herself as she peeked from the kitchen, watching the small purple Alicorn reading through book after book.
It had been three days since her return and freeing from the Nightmare… and found herself the apparent mother to one of her rescuers.
After young Twilight Sparkle had broken down crying in their old castle, Celestia had arranged for Luna to spend some time in Ponyville before returning to the capital.
It had been both to help Luna adjust before throwing herself into the politics of the modern Equestria, as well as to help both her and Twilight adjust to their new… family dynamic.
The idea still didn’t fully connect in Luna’s mind, even after three days: she was a mother now and to the youngest Alicorn princess in Equestria.
Another reason Celestia had suggested Luna stay in Ponyville for a while was Twilight’s new friends.
Shortly after they’d gotten her to calm down and Celestia had suggested they try to figure things out in Canterlot, Twilight had become sad again at the thought of leaving her friends.
It was those friends who were helping them all adjust, a difficult feat, to say the least.
To keep the populace from becoming confused or word spreading too fast, whenever Twilight had left the Golden Oak library to be with her new friends, she wore a jacket, covering her new wings.
Thanks to the young dragon, Spike, she was keeping regular contact with her sister. The young drake was still weary around Luna, but he was friendly enough.
Luna was curious about the young drake, as it was not exactly normal for a dragon to have been raised by a pony, but he knew nothing of his heritage. She had made a mental note to speak with the current Dragon Lord once she was settled. He may have some answers.
Luna herself was using her ability of shapeshifting to make herself appear a simple unicorn whenever out and about in town.
Celestia had said it was unnecessary, but Luna would not hear it. If Twilight Sparkle needed to hide her Alicornhood for the time being, so too would she.
If a younger Alicorn princess showing up would arouse suspicion, the Princess of the Night suddenly caring for a young filly like her own would certainly do the same, perhaps even more so.
Twilight herself seemed to change her mood around Luna a lot. Sometimes she was happy to be around her, other times she was distant. She seemed to be spending every waking moment she wasn’t spending with her friends searching every book in the library.
For what, Luna had no clue, but it was clear Twilight was looking for something. More than likely, though, she was just trying not to think about everything that had happened and was using studying as a good excuse to avoid the subject.
Luna was unsure how to feel herself around her new daughter. Despite her new size and physical age, Twilight Sparkle was still a grown pony, with the mind to match, so figuring out how to speak with her was challenging.
She was trying to figure out where she should be a parent and where to leave Twilight with her independence. She didn’t want Twilight to think she was trying to take that away from her.
Spike had suggested that it might not have been because of that, but that she was thinking of her brother, Shining Armour, who was sent out on a mission the same day Twilight had come down to Ponyville, unaware of what fate had awaited them all.
Luna supposed it made sense Twilight would worry about her brother. The idea of your sibling being off on a dangerous mission, with you not knowing how long they’ll be gone or even if they’ll return… she remembered similar feelings during her and Celestia’s early years.
Though, Twilight was probably also worried about her brother’s reaction to what had happened… and Luna couldn’t blame her, as it had been on her mind a fair bit too after learning the truth about young Twilight and Shining Armour’s upbringing.
Their parents had died when Twilight was still very young, before she’d even gotten her Cutie Mark. Since her bother had been recently enrolled into the Royal Guard Academy before their parents’ unfortunate passing, Shining Armour had gotten permission to have his sister live with him, as they had no other relatives.
Luckily, another pony, Princess Mi Amore Cadenza, another Alicorn, much to Luna’s surprise, had taken a liking to the little filly and become her foalsitter. When young Twilight got her Cutie Mark, she’d moved into Celestia’s School for Gifted Unicorns and thus, living arrangements were no longer an issue for the two orphaned siblings.
Luna was curious about this Mi Amore Cadenza. She had asked Celestia if she could arrange a visit, but, like Twilight’s brother, she too was currently off on a mission, hers a diplomatic one to an area beyond Equestria’s boarders.
“Ya know, if the two of you keep avoiding it, nothing’s going to happen,” Spike’s voice caused the Night Princess to jump, turning around as he was stirring a put of stew.
“Forgive us, Spike,” Luna sighed, moving back into the kitchen and walking over to him. “We are still… uncertain about much. And torn on many others,” she murmured quietly.
“Yeah, but things’ll never change if you both keep dancing around the problem instead of facing it,” he replied, adding a dash of pepper to the stew.
“Indeed,” Luna looked towards the doorway she’d just moved away from. “We… we do not have much experience in such matters.”
“Join the club,” he chuckle, turning his head to her. “I’ve now a mother who’s smaller and younger than me and a technically grandmother who’s a princess.”
“So, it was, um, is a mother and son relationship with you two?” she asked uncertainly.
Spike nodded. “Kinda had to be. I mean, Cadance, Celestia and Shining Armour helped her out as much as they could, but, with no parents, Twilight had to take care of me all on her own.”
“Indeed the… family dynamic we all face is… a perplexing one,” Luna bit her lip. “Do you… have any advice?”
Having just returned to the stew, Spike stopped and glanced back at her. “Huh?”
“About motherhood,” Luna clarified. “Twilight raised you so… would you have any advice for me about… well, since she’s still an adult, we are not really raising her but…” Luna groaned, rubbing her forehead. “Tis giving me a headache.”
Spike laughed lightly. Turning around, he patted Luna on the shoulder. “One step at a time, Luna. It’s been less than a week. A lot’s changed that we all have to get used to. These things take time.”
Luna sighed. She was over a thousand years old, ruler of the night… and this dragon not even two decades old was the one giving her advice.
“We’ll figure this out,” Spike said reassuringly, before turning around, giving the stew a final stir and test, before picking up the pot and calling out, “Twilight, supper’s ready!”
However, as he and Luna moved towards the table, Twilgiht walking in from the living room and hesitating at the sight of Luna, Spike almost dropped the pot, Luna just managing to catch it, before he belched out a scroll.
“Is it from Princess Celestia?!” Twilight asked in a mixture of eagerness and worry as Luna caught it her magic too and opened it.
“Yes, but… my sister is merely requesting the three of us to Canterlot for a meeting tomorrow morning,” Luna frowned at the scroll, before turning it over looking for anything else, before cocking an eyebrow. “That’s all she wanted to send, a request for us to meet? Nothing more?”
“Eh, what’re ya gonna do?” Spike shrugged, taking the pot again and setting it on the table. “We’ll worry about that later. Let’s eat. I mean, what’s the worst that could happen?”
Author's Note
So, decided to try updating this before year's end, but... i think i'm experiencing year's end burn out or something.
I found it actually hard to figure out where i was going while writing this chapter, since i felt it would be wrong to just jump a week or two ahead to show Twilight and the gang chill, with Twilight fine with her Mama Luna, but also found it hard where to go with the little time frame i have to work with.
One might be asking, "What do you mean?" Well, i can't actually start on Ticket Master as, obviously, Twilight doesn't need an invite when she's now a princess herself and so automatically gets to go to the gala.
However, Applebucking Season can't yet happen because, due to everything, Twilight's mind isn't as centred right now as it was in the show.
next chapter, things can move forward a bit. how they'll move forward, you'll have to wait and see.
Also, i was writing this from home, since i've been on my feet with no real days of rest since 20th. even the day right after Christmas, there was no slowing down for me and, due to uncertainties that arose yesterday, it wasn't nearly as restful and relaxing as it should've been.
And, for reasons i don't understand, i don't feel as much motivation when writing when i'm using the home computer. i can't explain it, but i feel more at ease when i'm using the library computers, despite them being out in public and only having a 3 hour max time limit and that's provided someone else doesn't reserve the computer before i'm done, but while i REALLY wanted to get this chapter out sooner rather than later, due to previously mentioned reasons, i also REALLY didn't want to leave the house to go down to the library.
So, this is the best i could do. i know it's not much, but i guess it at least helps to establish things so they're known instead of being unknowns, thus giving you all something more to speculate on.
Also, for anyone wanting to know the name of the comic the inspiration from this fix came from, i couldn't tell you because i don't remember. i was using google images when i found it and it was technically I think a one page comic, so would have no clue where you'd find it.
Hope everyone had a great Christmas (at least as great as a 2020 Christmas CAN be, anyway) and, til next time, stay safe, stay clean and here's to a better year, everybody
