Meeting the Princess of Friendship

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

Princess Twilight sat out in front of the statue portal waiting anxiously for Sunset, Twilight was thinking about what she was going to say when she meets him, she wasn't even thinking about how her friends have those crystal necklaces that gave them powers, in fact she didn't even think about it at all after reading Sunset's message.

Twilight heard the sound of a horn and looked to her right to see Sunset in a car, Twilight stood up and waved to her, Sunset stop and got out of the car and rushed up to her and gave her a hug.

"Oh it so good to see you Sunset!" She smiled as she hugged her friend.

"You too Twilight." She replied, "How are things back in Equestria?" She asked as they broke the hug.

"Things couldn't be any better." She smiled, "First off I'm now an aunt!"

"(GASP!) Oh my gosh really!?" Sunset exclaimed.

"Yeah my brother and my old foal sitter Princess Cadence have a baby named Flurry Heart and to everypony's surprise... the baby was born an Alicorn." She said with wide eyes.

Sunset's jaw dropped, she had never heard of anything like that happening ever in Equestria history. "OH MY GOSH! how is that possible?"

"I thought the same thing, I always was told that Alicorn wings and horns were earned by great success of an achievement." She said thinking.

"So how's Starlight Glimmer doing?" Sunset asked remembering Twilight's student that came to the human world for a short visit.

"She's doing good," She said. "She's in the Crystal Empire right now helping her friend Sunburst with some ancient spells."

"That's great I was kinda hoping that she would come her and I would get to see her as well." She said little depressed but it was okay, her good friend that showed her the light of friendship was the only thing she cared about right now was here with her. "So you ready to and meet Lite?" She asked.

Twilight's eyes lit up with joy that she was going to soon meet somepony that was here long time ago and knew Star Swirl the Bearded, "Yes!" She jumped.

"Okay lets go." She said as she lead her to the Trans Am.

"Where'd you get the car?" Twilight asked.

"It's one of Lite's cars, he's got couple of cool ones." She said with a sly smirk.

"One of his cars?" She asked.

"Oh yeah, he's loaded with lots of money, a big house, like ten classic cars, twenty guitars and lots of music." She said with a show off tone getting in the driver's seat.

"The more and more I hear about him the more I get excited to meet him!" She smiled.

"Trust me you'll like him, he's like the King of Awesomeness." She said jokingly as she started the car and began drive.


Lite and Rainbow Dash had returned to the house to find everyone had finished cleaning, Lite was impressed at Rarity's talent of making new curtains for the foyer and the den and she even brought an old throw blanket to go over the couches, the house smelled cleaner and fresher from Twilight and Fluttershy cleaning the floors and dusting the library and getting the washing machine running and cleaning the linen and blankets, Applejack even fill Lite's waterbed up, after she filled it her and Pinkie sat on it and went for a sloshing ride, it was really comfortable, something like this was something Applejack had to get for her back after a hard day's work in the orchard.

"Wow!" Lite exclaimed, "You girls did a great job cleaning and helping out here and I really want to thank you girls for this, don't know how I can repay you girls for this."

"It's no problem Lite," Twilight spoke, "It's what we like to do as friends, and you don't have to do anything for us neither cause it's how we are with being friends." She softly smiled.

"Thank you girls, thank you so much... hey where's Sunset?" He asked looking around the room.

"She went to the portal to go and pick up Princess Twilight." Human Twilight said.

"The Princess is here?" Lite asked.

"Yeah you'll like her, she's helped us out a lot ever since Sunset stole her crown and tried to destroy us then saved us and her and showed her the true meaning of friendship and then coming back and defeating the sirens in the battle of the bands and saving the school again." Pinkie added.

"Well from what Sunset has told me, seem that she's done a lot more than what I've done in Equestria." He said.

"Quick question Lite." Rarity asked.

"Yeah?"

"Is this a picture of you and Elvis Presley?" She asked holding a framed picture.

"Yep," He sighed with a smile, "July 14 1971, My friend Penny was so into Elvis when he made his first appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show, A LOT of girls wanted him because of his looks, his smooth talking and his moves, she would listen to him and have pictures of him all over her room, at first I didn't like him cause he was just another face girls cooed over but as his career went on I enjoyed his music, he had some good tunes with blues riffs, we went to Las Vegas for her birthday and I had gotten her front row tickets to the show and she went nuts when he came out on stage, after the show he was taking pictures with some fans and Penny wanted for me to be in the shot."

"Wow, he had such a talent and such a style the way he wore that jumpsuit of his, but he was taken away too soon in his life." Rarity sighed sadly.

"Yeah, a lot of people said it was a heart attack from high cholesterol from too many double bacon bbq cheddar peanut butter cheeseburgers, but others think that it was combining drugs that actually got to him, a couple of years before he was against drug use and didn't want any part of it, but people said that he was taking drugs for his health and he was combining them together and they said that's pretty much how he died."

"So sad." Rarity said.

"Come here." Lite said taking her to the living room up to a mantel pulling down a glass case with sunglasses in them. "These... we're Elvis's personal sunglasses."

A gentle gasp came from Rarity as she set her eyes upon the Heartbreak Gold Sunglasses.

"That same night that picture was taken, I was in the casino at 1 in the morning... I bumped into him... and I couldn't even speak, and he said, "You okay there, son?" all I did was nod and he shakes my hand and say's "Sorry about that it's too dark in here for me to be wearing these." He takes these off and puts them in my hand and say's "Here you go, son, Take good of em'." and he walks away, my mind was just blown that Elvis Presley himself gave me his personal sunglasses." Rarity's mouth was just agape, "Yeah."


Sunset and Twilight pulled into the drive way in front of Lite's house, Twilight was amazed that he lived in a house like this. "This is where he lives?" She said in awe.

"Yep, it's a pretty big house ain't it Twi?" Said Sunset.

"He must be quite a stallion having such a big house and cars and money." She said.

"Yeah, but he's a really cool person when it comes to making friends." Sunset added.

Twilight got out of the car and approached the house she was excited to finally meet the stallion who was a personal friend of Star Swirl the Bearded, Sunset opened the front door and Twilight was amazed by the inside of the house how nice it was.

"HELLO!?" Sunset called out.

"TWILIGHT!!!" Exclaimed Pinkie who rushed down the curved stair case and gave Princess Twilight a big breath stopping hug. "We missed you so much!" She said hugging her tightly.

"Pink...ie... too... tight!" She tried to say.

"Oopsie daisy," She said letting go giving her oxygen, "Sorry." She cheekishly smiled.

The rest of the girls came into the foyer to see there Equestrian friend, "Howdy Twi," Applejack greeted, "It's so good to see you again." She said giving her a hug.

"Yeah, it's been a while." She replied.

"Hello again." The human Twilight greeted shyly.

"Hello again to you too." She replied to 'herself' in a mirror way.

"Yeah, was kinda a sudden surprise seeing myself from another world." The human Twilight said in a embarrassed way.

"So Twilight, how's Equestria?" Applejack asked.

"How's Spike?" Fluttershy whispered.

"Any good parties?" Pinkie cheerfully asked.

"Do you need any dresses for any royal balls or galas?" Rarity fashionably asked.

"You still kicking monster but back there?" Dash asked.

The girls were talking all at once to her and Twilight was having trouble replying to them.

Suddenly came a loud voice, "HEY WHO CAME IN!?" Lite said coming into the room, Twilight got her first look at Lite, the one who knew Star Swirl the Bearded and has been reading about for the past few days and has been impatient to meet, she brush past her human friends and stood toe to toe in front of Lite, "Hi there you must be Princess Twilight Sparkle." He said extending his hand out.

Twilight took his hand and constantly shook it for a long time, truth is she was speechless, she couldn't find any words to say to him, but the only thing she got out was, "Hi,... I'm Princess Twilight Sparkle."

Lite was little unsure if she was alright, "Okay, yeah it's nice to meet you." He replied still having his hand shook, "Um Sunset,... is she alright?" He asked in worry.

Sunset stepped over and snapped her finger in front of her face, "Twilight!" She snapped.

Twilight was brought back to reality realizing she was still shaking his hand, "Oh," She mumbled letting go of his hand, "Sorry." She blushed.

"It's okay," Said Lite, "Didn't really know you were a fan of me, you act as if I was Steven Tyler."

"Who?" She raised her eyebrow.

"Never mind." He smirked.

"Sorry it just that I usually get so nervous or stressed when ever I meet someone famous or royal, kinda like the time I meet A.K. Yearling." She said in her normal excited tone.

"Who's A.K. Yearling?" Lite asked.

There was a sudden gasp from both Twilight's and Rainbow Dash, "Are you kidding, she writes all the Daring Do movies and books." Dash blurted out, Twilight was surprised that there was a Daring Do in this world as well, but what the human girls didn't know was Equestria A.K.Yearling is Daring Do and Princess Twilight has meet her and went on a real adventure with her.

"Oh yeah, I haven't seen those movies yet, but I'll check em' out on TV or Netflix." Lite said.

"You should see the new one!" Said Dash, "Cause... we're in one of the scenes." Dash said in her likely show off voice.

"No shit, really?" Lite asked, Dash and the girls nodded. "Huh, I'll have to check it out."

Sunset wanted to tell Twilight about there new powers, "Hey Twilight..." But was cut off.

"So tell me what was Star Swirl the Bearded like?" She asked.

"Well..." Before Lite could start.

"Was he normal or always having scientific breaks?"

"Twilight." Sunset said trying to get her attention.

"He..."

"Do you have any of his notes?"

"Um...

"Twilight."

"What where his words of Wisdom to you?"

"TWILIGHT!" Sunset yelled, everybody looked at her, Sunset went a little red from embarrassment, "Twilight, me and the girls have something to show that's more important for you to know right now."

Twilight was a little sad that she realized she had ignored one of her friends and wasn't paying attention to them, "I'm sorry Sunset, it's just that I've been so eye deep in his history wanting to know so much about him that I forgot how important it is to listen to my friends." She said sadly.

"It's okay Twilight, I can understand that you wanted to know so much from him." Sunset replied.

"I guess it's part of my nature right?" She smirked.

"Yeah." She smiled back, "Twilight me and the girls have something very important to show you."

For the next half hour Sunset and the girls had shown and told Princess Twilight what had happened over the summer with their new powers, Twilight was just as shocked as she could be, even more shocked after finding out about Lite.

"Wow," She awed, "And the crystals can do that to you guys." Sunset nodded. "But where did that magic come from thought?" She asked.

"Well, that's the worst part, after Midnight Sparkle here blew the top part of the statue off it made a deep crack in the top of it." Twilight was beginning to think this was bad, "And magic has been escaping the portal and running loose here in the human world, and it's been causing strange things to happen."

Princess Twilight began to worry if her friends were in trouble now that magic was loose in this world she wondered what has come out of the portal since then.

"I looked worried Twilight darling." Rarity said.

"I am, I'm just afraid of what might be on the loose here in this world, what if we can't stop it here." She said in worry.

"What do you mean?" Sunset asked.

"This isn't Equestria, what you guy came across something dangerous and you were to fail and this world would be in danger." She shivered.

"Twilight, do you remember the time we took on the Dazzlings?" Applejack reminded her.

"Yeah?"

"We didn't give up when they knocked us down, Sunset took the mic and with that extra help we used the Element's of Harmony to defeat them." She finished.

"Yeah, your right it was tough but we did it." She smiled.

"What I'm saying is that any enemy big or small, we can handle it even with our new powers." Applejack said.

"YEAH!" Dash cheered giving her a high five.

Twilight felt relived that her friends would protect this world if ever something bad were to happen here.

"So, Princess Twilight I'm really interested of knowing how things are back in Equestria." Lite asked.

Twilight's smile perked up as she was ready to talk to the Legendary Lightning Bolt. "Yes, thing are amazing in Equestrtia, Lightning."

"Lite." He said.

"What?" Twilight asked.

"Everybody calls me Lite now, and I prefer that name better then my Lightning, cause it's much shorter." He said.

"Oh, okay, Lite." Twilight corrected. "I'm pretty sure Sunset has filled you in on most of the major current event such as the return of Princess Luna, the defeat of King Sombra and the reformation of Discord."

"Yeah, you know for what Star Swirl told me about him was that he was so out of control that he nearly destroyed Equestria before he was turned to stone." Lite said.

"Yeah," Twilight said, there was a long pause for her till she said, "Please tell me about Star Swirl the Bearded."

"What would you like to know?" He asked.

"Well... What was he like in person?" She asked.

"He was a very... clutter minded person," Lite said, "always was having ideas about stuff and making notes and equations about his scientific breakthroughs and always was doing something and writing and creating spells and, even at night when he slept he would talk in his sleep and even wake up at 3 in the morning to remember visions of spells he would see in his dreams, not to mention how many time he blew up the house we were living in together."

Twilight just stared in awe as she finally got what she wanted to hear about Star Swirl. "Wow, that is just amazing." She smiled, "Tell me about your adventures with him."

Lite spent about nearly 2 hours telling Twilight about his early childhood, his lightning powers, the battle with the dragon, the many places he saw and seen and the creation of the portal and even Phantom Shadows.

"Wow, that must have been dreadful for you, to having done that to save Star Swirl's life." She said.

"Yeah, I still think about that day, how his... gravely voice... scared us half to death, even when I transferred my power through Star Swirl and we sent him back into the hole... he said "My evil will find you!"... sometime I still think about what his said, I don't know if it's true or not, those words hunted me for years, I would even get nightmare's about it,... and I still wonder... is he still... looking for me?" Lite was shook up from telling her that story.

Twilight was amazed with Lite's story even when he told her what he did for the passed 80 years in the human world.

"Do you have any of his notes?" She asked.

"Sadly no." Lite sighed, "After his death everything he had and written was left in Canterlot in the care of Princess Celestia."

"Why did you leave your notebook in the walls of the Castle of the Two Sisters?" Twilight asked pulling out his notebook and handing it to him.

Lite was surprised, he hadn't seen it in a long time, "After Star Swirl and told me what I had to do I needed to start a new life... here, so I took all of my things and Star Swirl's things and hid them away, I figured the Castle of the Two Sisters would be a perfect place since of how vast and dark it was to hide something, I left this there for a time if I were to ever become mortal again I would return to Equestria and read my old not so forgotten memories and fill in the blank pages with the rest of my mortal life." He said flipping through pages, "I never thought one day someone would find it and would want to know my adventures."

"Now that you know that the Element of Harmony have protection over Equestria and here, have you ever thought of taking off the immortality spell?" Twilight asked.

"I can't." Lite said, "I don't remember how to use the spell, it was such a long time ago that I... didn't really think of memorizing it."

"Would you ever want to become mortal again?" She asked.

"One day I would like to Twilight, but I'm just afraid if something were to happen here in this world... I would need to live to fight it." Twilight knew what he was talking about, if this Phantom Shadows were to find him he would need to have his immortality to save everyone.


It was getting late in the day and the sun was getting ready to go down, "Wow, it's been a long day." Sunset said stretching her arms out, "Kinda looking forward to bed soon."

"Hey!" Pinkie jumped, "You know what would make this night even better... SLUMBER PARTY!" She screamed.

Sunset thought it was a great idea cause Princess Twilight was here and they were in a big enough place to have it, "Great idea Pinkie, What do you think Lite can we have our annual slumber party here tonight?" She asked.

"Um..." Lite pondered the thought when he suddenly saw the girls make puppy dog eyes, Lite sighed it was too cute to say no, "Okay."

"YAY!" They all cheered.

"Wait!" Said Rarity, "I don't have my evening dress or my sleeping bag for that matter."

"Well how bout' you girls go get your thing for the slumber party and I'll go and pick up a couple pizza's." Lite said, they all agreed to the idea.

Rarity was taking Fluttershy and Pinkie in the Cadillac, while Sunset took human Twilight and Equestria Twilight in the Trans Am, Rainbow Dash was obviously running and Applejack was having a problem with her truck.

"What's the problem?" Lite asked approaching the truck.

"Oh, this old truck ain't what it used to be." Applejack said popping the hood, "Darn thing just doesn't want to run anymore."

"Hmm..." Lite pondered as he took a look, "Try cranking it." He said, Applejack cranked the ignition and Lite figured the problem. "Sounds like your alternator is going bad."

"Really?" She asked, "Huh, cause they guy's at the repair shop said it needs a new battery."

"Well... that may be true, but... your alternator is a key part that makes the car go, it also recharges the battery, if it's having problems it could make your battery grow weak and cause it to have starting problems." Lite informed.

"So what do I do?" She asked.

"You probably have to buy a new alternator, I can help you install it." Lite offered.

"Nah, I can do it, but thanks for the info, guess I'll just have to sleep in my clothes tonight." She said bit upset.

Lite raised his eyebrows in idea, "Wanna borrow one my cars?" He offered.

"Really?" Applejack asked, "You'd let me drive one of your old muscle cars?"

"Yeah, come on." He said leading her to the barn, Lite turned the barn light on and Applejack paced the aisle of what to drive till she came upon the 69 GTO.

"Can I take this one?" She asked.

"Sure." He said tossing her the keys, Applejack got into the Judge and got of whiff of the vintage smell the car had, she took the key and started it up, the car let out a steady growl. "You take it easy with this one, it's a Tameless Tiger." Lite said.

Applejack carefully drove out of Lite's driveway and onto the main road and headed towards her farm.

Lite looked up on his phone to see where the nearest pizza place was, one said Rosati's Pizza, "Oh hell yeah, they got a Rosati's here, now that real pizza right there." He said getting in his Challenger and headed towards the location.
