Chapters Celestia sat on her golden throne. Legs crossed in a feminine fashion, signing papers that she would later regret not taking a second look at with her magic. Luna was outside raising the moon in a rush because she was ten minutes late of when she should've, but who isn't late once in a while right? One guard was stationed next to Celestia, while two were outside the closed door. But invisible to the guards. did a tall freaky man appear right in her face
"BOO!" The man screamed in Celestias face.
Celestia looked up, unfazed by whatever the man tried to do,"You will never scare me Discord," she said calmly, then resumed checking off papers she could care less about.
"Oh come on Celly! Gimme a chance!" Discord pouted,"I'll get you one day if not now."
"How 'bout not ever," Celestia stated looking up to the mismatched eyes again,"In your life."
"I'm immortal"
"Well that's just sad isn't it?"
Discord face palmed his fore head, making sure not to hit to high to hit his deer antler, because he's not making that mistake again.
Celestia was wearing a white maxi dress that would've looked like her skin color, if it didn't have a tint of gold in it, adding to her royal look. With silver hoop earrings in her pony ears, and her yellow huge heavy necklace wrapping around her neck. To complete her look, she wore bright orange high heel boots that went to her knees, though no one could see them past her ankle. The only make up Celestia had was mascara, to heighten the length of her eyelashes. She felt sexy this way, though she was looking for no prince. "all the single ladies for the win am I right? " she drunkenly said to Luna once time when she had to drag her from a party Pinkie Pie threw.
Discord was wearing a dirt brown Engquss cut suit fixed with a rainbow bow tie to give an impression of crazy but classy. Unusually, he had his white hair combed around his ears, which he only does on dates or very special events.
There was a moment of awkward silence, but more for Discord and less on Celestia, since she was doing a task. Finally Celestia broke the silence that seemed to go on forever, "Date with Fluttershy? You usually don't have you hair that way." She asked cocking her left eyebrow.
"How'd you know?"
"I just gave you my reasoning."
Discord wanted to mess around with Celly's head a little bit, payback for treating him with awkward silence ,"No I didn't"
"You did."
"Did not"
"Did"
"Not"
"Stop arguing like foals," Celestia looks up and Discord turns around to see a exhausted looking Luna, clinging on the entrance door for leverage. She wore a midnight blue wrap dress that went just past her elbows. The color of the dress resembled to much like her skin, which made her look like she was naked if it wasn't for the black belt tied around her waist to show she was wearing clothing. Unlike her sister, Luna has no clue how to walk in any sort of high heel, and chooses to wear black flats instead. She was always made fun of for not wearing 'A true Womans shoes', but she could care less. "Do they raise the moon. No? I didn't think so," Luna sassed a little while ago.
Celestia chuckled slightly," Aw, is Lil' Luni tired from raising the moon in a rush again? She should go take a nap!"
"THIS WILL BE THE LAST TIME CELESTIA!" Luna screamed," IT WAS BECAUSE OF THE GUA-"
"uh-UH! No excuses young lady," Discord said snickering and shaking one lion finger left and right. He snapped his fingers to make him look like Grandma Smith, and said with his most awful scratchy voice,"Off to bed now youngin', and don'cha think you can git away dis time."
With all Celestia's will power did it take not to burst out laughing at Luna's blushing face. It's extremely hard to hide blush with a skin color contrasting it, but Luna did her best to hide it with her hands," WHY IS HE HERE!" Luna screamed in embarrassment.
"Actually yea, why are you here Discord, isn't Fluttershy waiting for you?" Celestia, now calmed down from almost bursting out laughing
"Well, she has a hotel to say in. It's also not just a date," Discord said crossing his arms around his chest," It's a mini vacation on a cruise, and it's tomorrow."
"You! Cruise?" Luna cocked an eyebrow, "Who convinced you to do that?"
"Rarity I bet, that mare's got a keen eye for anything lovely does she not?" Celestia pointed out.
"Are u physic?" Discord asked Celestia.
"Just obvious," Celestia replied, piling the last of her papers in a stack and levitating it to her guard next to her, who soon ran out the
"Last time we went on a cruise we-," Luna cut herself off, realizing that she was bringing up a topic that they all agreed not to discuss.
Celestia was a little shocked, since who usually slipped the deal was Discord, while Luna was on guard with what she says all the time, this was the first time she slipped.
Discord smiled," Little Miss.Perfect's speech finally slipped. So I'm not the-," Discord flipped himself around on his head looking straight into Celestia's stunning but stern magenta eyes,"-ONLY one."
"Luna, please try to not bring the past up again," Celestia said, deliberately ignoring Discords comment.
"You know what? Why don't we talk about our past? Keeping it packed inside is a horrible idea," Discord continued.
"Discord you know why," Celestia sternly spoke straight into his eyes. Discord could feel the aura in the room suddenly go darker, not just because it's night time.
Discord removed the smile off his face, and replaced it with a stern look Celestia had, not helping the darker atmosphere in the room,
"Was it because you're still hurting?"
"No"
"Is it because you wished you let Luna help when they were turning me?"
"Discord!" Celestias eyebrows frowned, her voice was rising in anger, and so was Discords.
"Is it because you wished you didn't get her involved!?"
"I DEMAND YOU TO-"
"IS IT BECAUSE YOU STILL LOVE HIM !?"
"THAT'S ENOUGH DISCORD, PLEASE LEAVE!" Celestia screamed, hiding her face with her hands, as if they would protect her from the memories swarming her mind. The voices of their friends plaguing her.
"Tirek please stop! What are you doing to him!?" 18 year old Celestia cried.
"You broke my heart! I just want to break yours!" 19 year old Tirek proclaimed.
"Please stop him! They have nothing to do with it!"
"Someone...help me....please..." a weak 18 year old Discord begged
"Keep going Sombra, Dissy's almost done being one of us."
"DON'T TOUCH HIM!" 16 year old Luna screamed running towards them with power-fist equipped around her hand
"LUNA, STOP! COMEBACK!"
"Sombra...w-why..."
"NOOO PLEASE STOP! WHY!?" Celestia cried with her arm stretched out.
"Actually Celestia, we do need to talk about this," a unsure Luna came forward from the door, closing it so no one could over hear them
"I DO NOT WISH TO TALK ABOUT THE PAST!" Celestia cry was muffled by her hands, but it was still loud and clear the emotion she felt inside , she needed time alone but Discord and Luna would not give her that. Discord could stay all night to have this discussion, even if Fluttershy was a little suspicious, and Luna lived in the castle, so there was no escape.
"Please Celestia, we held on to this for too long," Luna persuades,"We'll have to talk about at some po-"
"LEAVE! ALL OF YOU!" Celestia screamed now clearly crying.
Discords heart twisted at the thought that he was the reason she was crying. Well, triggered her tears at least. He reached his hand out to Celestia's face, but all it did was worsen the amount of memories triggered in Celestias mind.
"Discord! Discord please snap out of it!"
"It's to late Celly dear, he's under my control"
"Tirek, why!? Why did you drag them to OUR problem?"
"DISCORD is NOT INNOCENT! YOU brought into this when YOU cheated on me WITH HIM!"
"YOU ACT LIKE YOU DIDN'T CHEAT ON ME!"
Celestia hears a growl coming from the monster Tirek made Discord to be, flooding her eyes with more tears streaming down her face.
"Tirek make him stop, he'll kill me!"
"Maybe that's what I want..." Tirek smirked, leaving Discord to do what he wants with her.
"No...please...Discord come to your senses, it's me..."Celestia said , more to herself than Discord,"Don't hurt me..."
Discords sclera were black as night, contrasting with his ruby red eyes, he looked like the monster the people deemed him to be. Celestia only saw a flash of Discords fangs, before she felt them pierce her skin on the right side of her neck, clawing at the other side with his lion paw, sending rifts of pain through out her body. Celestia felt her consciousness go in and out from the pain, calling in her mind for someone to save her, to save them all, to save their friendship...
Celestia screamed and smacked Discords hand back. Convinced in her own mind that he would do such a traumatic thing to her again. It was why she wore the huge necklace, to cover the scars Discord left on her. Though he never knew, she hid it too well for him to notice. He was not mentally there when it happened, which only added to Celestias field of loneliness.
"Celestia," Discord started, shocked from being hit by Celestia.
"Celestia, we need too," Luna continued to persuade,"we have too."
Celestia looked down, her cheeks puffed as tears ran down them onto the floor," how about tomorrow?" she improvised.
"No excuses Celly, tomorrow it is," Discord said folding his arms," I'll just call Fluttershy to say I won't be coming tonight. Can I sleep in a guest room."
"Choose whatever fits," Luna said,"I'll be off to guard the night, get some sleep sister."
"Okay," Celestia mumbled to herself, still lost in the horrible memories."
As Discord and Luna walked out of the room, Discord turned around and made one final comment," Not all of the past was bad Celestia. Please don't think of it as one terrible experience. Remember good times as well," before walking out, leaving Celestia crying in the night.

HI! This is my first story, hopefully you like this chapter, because this idea has been going on in my head
Engquss - England
Mexicentaur - Mexico
Cubling - Cuba
Celestia stayed up most of the night, haunted by the past they shared. But she tried to remember the good times they all had. Sombra, Tirek, Discord, Chrysalis, Luna, the special filly and her were all friends at one point. She thought of the time when one of Discords 15 siblings gave them weapons to fend for themselves, and the first time they actually used it in a fight. Celestia had a huge shotgun that was in width and length bigger than her, even now when she's over a 1000 years old. Luna had power fist that went up to her elbow, so she could do some serious punches. Though she preferred to use her magic, she would combine the two making her at the same power level as Celestia. Discord already mastered his weapon before they got theirs, because it was Draconequss tradition for royalty to have a sacred weapon to symbolize that he was royalty. He had a yellow and black scythe much like a grim reaper. It symbolizes death, but he resorted to chaos which was another story. Chrysalis had a sorcerer staff, which summoned changelings if she needed too. Sombra had twin swords that matched his black hair, but with a flare of red at the tips to match his eyes. And finally, Tirek. He had a beserker axe that was taller than him in length. They used their weapons saving the special filly that was their friend.
Celestia finally caught some sleep when she began to think about the special filly. She was shy but adorable, they all agreed. She was light cyan blue who always wore a scarf, no matter winter or summer, and had white hair with streaks of the same cyan blue her skin is made of. She was always the reason they would stop fighting, she was the reason Discord was happy. She was blind, but Discord's siblings all came up with spell that only made her see in snow, because a spell to create sight was complicated, even just seeing in snow was hard. It was perfect, because she was the reason there was snow in the first place. Discord could summon a little cloud that rained tiny bits of snow, but she could see. It was all that mattered.
Celestia chuckled slightly, remembering the first time the filly saw in her life.
"IS THIS REAL!" she screamed, quietly with her soft voice, but it stilled showed excitement
"Snowy, if you can see, it's not joke," Tirek said with a soothing voice. Celestia loved it when he was kind, not that he wasn't kind to her. At the time.
"I can see..." She mumbled to herself, then screamed again for all to hear," I CAN SEE!" and everyone laughed at her optimism
For 14 years (Celestia was 16, Discord 16, Tirek 17, Sombra 15, Chrysalis 15, Luna 14) the special filly was blind, she could only recognize by voice. When Discord laughed, she ran immediately to Discord and hugged him, crying on his chest,"Thank you, Discord"
Celestia saw the warmth filling Discords soul, and she felt it too. She can't imagine what it would be like not to see anything, until she was 14. It was such a heart warming experience they were talking about it for months.
Remembering that event had eased the pain in her heart, and she could finally sleep in peace.
Luna woke up to a goofy faced Discord on top of her in an awkward position. Luna was about the scream, when Discord put a finger against her mouth,"Shhh! We need to wake Celly." He whispered
"Do you need to wake me up this way!?" She whispered harshly back,"This is an inappropriate postit-"
"Shut. Up," He started," and get. Up."
"Excuse me? I am a princess, and I demand respect!"
"Excuse me princess , but I'm also a prince myself, I'm prince of Engquss thank you."
"You told me not to make that joke.."
"Because your family isn't ignoring you are they!?" Discord now becoming more angry, but still whispering,"You aren't trapped in another man's land by a accidental spell are you? No, so you have no right to make a joke like that."
"Discord, I don't think they're ignoring you, I think they're-," Luna was cut off by a snarl from Discord, immediately shutting up.
"Just get your butt up," Discord said agitated, he didn't wish to speak about anything of Engquss, even though he brought the topic up.
Luna pushed Discord off her with her knees to his stomach, making him gasp a little, before he crawled to the opposite side of her bed,"How'd you even get in here?"
"Your guards are bad at their job, that's how."
"MY GUARDS, are amazing."
"That's how I got in," Discord said amused.
"What are we going to say to Celestia when we get there?" Luna said changing the subject.
"I actually didn't think of that"
Luna face palmed," are you telling me you made a big deal to talk about the past, when you haven't even thought how you're gonna bring it up!?"
"Me? You were co-signing that we should talk about it!"
"I thought you came up with a plan or something!"
"You, trust me, with a plan, Luna" Discord snorted," I am the physical meaning of chaos!"
"Why don't we start going instead of arguing," Luna jumped off the bed to change her clothes with her magic. She's not embarrassed to change in front of a man, because the spell she uses always covers her body. She changed back to her wrap dress she wore the day before, but only with a moon symbol much like her cutie mark in the center. She wore a simple black flats and walked out her bedroom door greeting her guards, and stationing them somewhere else. Discord followed behind Luna with his beige brown pajamas that he refuses to take off until he goes outside.
Luna leads Discord to Celestias chambers, which was on the opposite side of the castle. No matter how many times Discord visited this castle, Discord could swear there's always a new room.
When they arrived, Luna opened the door with her magic, to see an empty bed. Luna was confused, but then realized it was early in the morning, and she should've been up to raise the sun right now. Luna informed Discord that they're going to the back of the castle, and ignored his complaint about her being,"incompetent," and "forgetful".
Luna and Discord looked in awe as Celestia ever so gracefully raised the sun. Her sleeping garment was white lingerie which made Discord blush, and Luna feel ashamed she walked around the castle like that. Her horn lit, and wings spread to the maximum they can spread, she flew up as the sun followed her like a shadow. She looked like an angel Luna complimented, followed by a retort from Discord that made her roll her eyes," A fallen angel," he said.
When the sun was in position Celestia cast one final spell on the sun to keep it moving for the rest of the day, so she wouldn't have to worry about it. She looked behind to see the sun moving slowly, and smiled pleasingly at herself,"No matter how many times I do this," Celestia mumbled to herself,"It's still a beautiful as ever."
A memory of the past roamed her mind, making her smile. The first time she rose the sun in front of her parents and the gang. It was embarrassing and fun at the same time. The sun shook so badly everyone could already guess that it was their new princess raising it. Celestia remembered the cheering and encouragement when she was lifting it. Raising the sun was an important task, if it would fall down once, it will mess up the crops from all around the world cycles. The world was pretty much dependent on her. She remembered the jokes from Chrysalis saying that "What if they was a lovely date goin' on, and the sun was rising, they were going to kiss until the girl noticed the wobbly sun, ruining the moment," It made everyone laugh. Celestia kept that as a good memory. Celestias smile faded when she remembered what happened to Chrysalis. Chrysalis skin color was white genetically ,and so were the changelings. Throughout her childhood with Celestia and them she had white colored skin. But when Tirek got a hold, Celestia still wondering what spell he used, changed it genetically black, affecting the changelings to be black. Chrysalis was blasted from Equestria to the frozen north, they sent Sombra, Tirek and Discord as well. Celestia couldn't have predicted that would be a grave mistake, and would cause the end of so many lives. Especially Snowdrop .
Celestia shook her head to rid of the thought, as well as have a feeling she was being watched. She looked both ways to see Discord and Luna with blushing faces, Discords more visible. Celestia questioned why they would be blushing, but then realized it was the clothes she was wearing.
Discord coughed,"So uh, nice sun-raising."
Celestia made bedroom eyes,"I think something else raised."
Discord blushed harder than Celestia has ever seen,"Celestia! I have a girlfriend!"
"She doesn't have to know."
"Can you not!" Luna screamed at Celestia,"This is not appropriate for what we are here for."
"And that is...?"
"The past, Celestia," Luna finished.
"Oh," Celestia gulped,"yea."
"Princess Celestia!" A deep raspy voice came from the other side of the courtyard they were in.
Celestia looked towards the voice, to find three of her guards, all in their attack uniform, come rushing towards her. She noticed one slowed down because of what she was wearing, and blushed. The others unfazed. New guard obviously She thought. Her veteran guards are used to her dressing in exposing ways.
"Yes, Garrison?" Celestia also knew her veteran guards by name.
"A strong force has swept over ponyville, and has kidnapped Princess Twilight and another filly!" He reported,"Leaving all of her friends with a shaken mind!"
"WHAT!" The princesses and Discord scream, Discord asking a quick question,"Is Fluttershy..."
"It's alright, Discord," the second guard reassured,"She wasn't with them, but she is now. She's helping them with whatever they're screaming about."
"We must go immediately,"Celestia ordered, Putting her hand under her chin,"Send the forces Twilight and I share down to go find her. Report anything that's suspicious or anything to take note of. And QUICKLY!"
"Yes your majesty," the guards obeyed and ran towards the castle.
"Great thing first thing in the morning,"Discord joked,"I'm gonna change."
Discord snaps his fingers and left the scene to his guest room, leaving Luna and Celestia alone. Celestia was walking towards the castle, wondering who and what would've caused someone to kidnap Twilight, when Luna grabbed her hand.
"Celestia,"Luna started,"Don't forget. We'll talk about it later"
Celestia looked her in her eyes, her beautiful blue eyes that sparkled both day and night,"Later."
Celestia and Luna both walk into the castle, Celestia changing to more appropriate clothes, and Luna waiting at the carriage. Celestia and Luna had no idea what was going down in Ponyville, and are going to meet a rude awakening.
Author's Note
Hi again! Yes, i added Snowdrop from SillyFillyStudios, because I thought it fit. I couldn't think of any other 'purely innocent to the world' character in canon, and had some sort of relationship with the princesses. So why not go fanmade? Yay! Rights go to SillyFillyStudios for their character. Anyway, hope you like this, and get ready for a cliffhanger :3.
The carriage arrived in the center of Ponyville, and the guards that flew the princesses over there opened the door like gentlemen. Celestia stepped out first, and to her slight amusement and horror, saw the residents running all over town panicking. Luna had the same reaction.
"Twilight's gone! Sweetie belle's gone!" a yellow filly with red hair and a huge hot pink bow screamed.
"What are we gonna do?" a grey mare with blond hair and derpy eyes said.
"There's no one to lead us!" a cinnamon brown stallion with dirt brown hair cried.
"Hey! That's Princess Celestia!" The same yellow filly noticed.
In less than four seconds, the princesses were crowded with cries to help them save Princess Twilight. Princess Luna feeling overwhelmed, slowly backed away into the carriage, leaving Celestia with the mob.
The guards did their best to keep the ponies from reaching Celestia by pushing them back and doing a two man borderline with their bodies. But two men vs a village cannot last long, and the yellow filly squeezed through the crowd and grabbed Celestia's leg.
"HEY!" A guard called,"Come back over here-"
"Princess please save her," The filly squeezed Celestia's leg tighter,"Sweetie Belle did notin' wrong, I dunno why..." and started crying.
The crowd went silent, hearing the poor filly cry on Celestia's leg. Celestia bent down to the fillys height, and lifted up her chin with her hand.
"Don't worry, Sweetie Belle and Twilight will both be saved," She reassured, making sure to be very gentle with her voice. Then she looked up to the crowd,"Now tell me, any of you, what any of you saw."
People began to speak loudly again, but thanks to her subjective hearing, Celestia picked out vital information that was mostly repeated.
"I think it was a man,"
"He had black hair and black skin,"
"He looked like a black ghost, because he had black fog surrounding him,"
"Twilight looked like she was knocked out,"
"Sweetie Belle was looking for rocks that shone at night, and then I heard a scream, and she was gone!"
Celestia silenced the crowd,"Ok thank you!" She thought about the information she has recieved,"Now please go home and stay there, no one should go out until a guard is at your door telling you otherwise. Please stay safe."
The crowd ran towards diffrent directions to their respective homes, leaving the tired guards, Luna, and Celestia to themselves. Celestia Thought on the description of the kidnapper.
What person has black skin? It's extremely rare in Equestria. It's more common in Europony. Who? Who would have it?
Sombra.
Celestia shook her head, oblivious to the guards trying to pull her out of her thoughts No, it's not him, It can't be him. Twilight reported that he was blown to pieces.
That's why he would get Twilight.
"Princess?"
But why that filly? Does the filly have power or something? Did it remind him of-
Snowdrop?
"Princess Celestia?"
Celestia shook her head more, giving her a slight migraine that she also ignored No, it can't be...
He'll do the same thing he did to Discord to Twilight
No, no no No NO!
"PRINCESS?"
"What!?" She said on edge, realizing the situation.
"The more we wait, the bigger chance the perpetrator gets away. We need to act now your highness."
Celestia cleared her head, No way I'm believing that,not without proof. ,"You're right. Do you guards know where Twilight's friends are?"
The second guard spoke up,"A person said that they were in Twilight's castle your highness."
"Alright, bring me there, Celestia commanded, still shoken up by her mind.
"Yes, your majesty," The guards say in union. parking the carriage, and leading Celesta to Twilight's you-cannot-ignore-this castle.
Luna stayed in the carriage, proccessing the information given to Celestia. But Luna heard more, more than needed.
She chuckled," Nice going Sombra," She smiled out the carriage," But you won't succeed, and you know that."
