A Tale Of A New Beginning

"Noone! Let me go!"

Spectrum groaned as her pegasus friend hugged her in her sleep. Noone hummed softly in her sleep as a fiery blush crossed 'Clipse's face.

Spectrum's horn glowed blue as she carefully teleported herself and swapped with a massive bear plushie.

"Noone! Wake up!"

Spectrum shook the blue pegasus but no response. She stepped back to look at her.

Noone stirred a little and hugged the bear tighter. Spectrum sighed and brought her hoof to her face. 'Why'

Once again, Spectrum's horn glowed blue as she levitated a glass of water above Noone's face.

The water hit Noone's face and woke her with a jolt.

"Gaah! Cold" Noone's already open wings fluffed up as the feathers splayed out even more. Noone looked directly at Spectrum before folding down all her wing feathers apart from the middle one, knowing full well that Spectrum wouldn't be able to see it clearly.

"Noone, I can see what you are doing. Not as you would see me doing it, but clear enough that I know you aren't happy"

"So girls I was thinking. I would like to see Applejack and Pinkie again, would you two like to come to Ponyville, my old home?" Noone, Spectrum and Twilight were sitting in the dining hall eating breakfast. "It would be wonderful if you could come with me and Rarity. You might even be able to meet the rest of the mane six and their children, they are a few years younger than you two but I think that Fluttershy's first daughter, Fear is around your age"

Spectrum looked at Noone as the nodded.

"I think that we would both enjoy that. Yes we will come"

"Very well, we will leave later this afternoon. I just need to send some letters to the others so we can all get together"

Twilight stood up and trotted out of the hall, a smile crossing her elegant face

"Come on Spectrum, let's go get ready then we can go for a fly" Noone jumped up from her seat.

"Well, actually. I have to go see Aunty Cadence and Luna about my magic and sight. I'm sorry, it's going to take a while" Spectrum stood up, almost tripping and looked at Noone. The blue pegasus frowned and her ears drooped.

"OK, I'll see you later then" Noone stood up and walked away from the table.

"Rarity and I will be at Sweet Apple Acres if you need us. You two can just hang around Ponyvillie for the time being" Twilight smiled at the two young fillies.

"I trust that you two won't get into any trouble?" Rarity looked at the two. "I just hope I don't have to see Thunderlane..."

An idea popped into Spectrum's head as the words came out of Rarity's mouth. Neither her mother or Rarity would approve of it, but she didn't care.

"We'll see you later then. Bye, mum" And with that Spectrum and Noone took to the sky.

"Soooo, I was just thinking. Would you like to meet your real dad?" Spectrum brushed the idea past.

"As long as mum doesn't find out"

"Very well then"

Three clear knocks sounded on the door of the cloud home just to the east of Ponyville. Spectrum had some help from a few of the town ponies to find where Thunderlane lived, but with the friendliness of the small town, it was no problem.

"Who is it?" A male voice came from inside.

"Spectrum Eclipse, daughter of Princess Twilight Sparkle. I am here to speak with Thunderlane" Spectrum's voice sounded out clear and proud. She did not yet have the title of Princess, she was not of age yet.

"I-I uh, yes. Your majesty" Thunderlane bowed his head and looked up.

"At ease, Thunderlane. I am here for one reason and one reason alone. I believe that you have the right to meet your daughter"

"M-my daughter?" Thunderlane's voice was shaky and broke multiple times.

"When you left Rarity, she was carrying your foal. I am here today to let you meet her" Spectrum stepped aside to reveal the shaking blue pegasus, tears were flowing down her delicate face.

"D-dad?"

"Thunderlane, this is Noone, your daughter. And I believe that you two should be left for some time. I will be back in an hour or so" Spectrum nodded lightly to Thunderlane and walked to Noone. A brief nuzzle was exchanged between the two before the purple alicorn took to the sky.

Spectrum walked through Ponyville hoping to get something to bite when she remembered something. For the last few years, she had been writing to a pony named Sweetie Belle from Ponyville. She had forgotten to write to her recently and she decided that it would be nice to meet her in person.

After walking around for a while more, Spectrum came across a bakery with a sign that read Sugarcube Corner. Spectrum walked inside the cosy building and was suddenly meet by a small light pink filly with a brown mane that had a streak of blue and another of pink.

"Hmmmm" The small earth pony brought her face up really close into Spectrum's and looked her right into the eyes.

"I've never seen you here. Are you are unlike the ponies that my mother tells me about. Soooo, you must be new!" The filly smiled a very toothy smile before saying:

"My mum works at this bakery along with Pumpkin and Pound Cake. I'm Candie Sweet, but I want to know who you are. What's your name?"

"My-my Name is Spectrum Eclipse. I'm just here to get something to eat and then I am trying to find a pony named Sweetie Belle"

"Can I call you 'Clipse? Well, I'll get you something to eat and then I'll take you to Sweetie Belle's house"

"Wait, how old are you? Are you sure that your mother would allow you to take me?"

"I'm five but my mum is fine. She wouldn't let me go around town by myself if she thought it was dangerous"

"Thank you, Candie. This is very nice of you, and here is something for you in return" Spectrum grabbed an opal out of her saddle bags and gave it to the filly.

"It's soo pretty! Thank you 'Clipse. Please come visit again. I'd love to get to know you more!"

"I will, on my word" Spectrum smiled at Candie before turning away. She knocked on the door of the boutique where Candie told her Sweetie Belle lived.

"Hello? Who is it?" A sweet voice sounded out

"Um, is this Sweetie Belle?"

"Why yes" The door opened and Spectrum looked upon the grey-white unicorn. "Who are you?"

"I'm Spectrum Eclipse I'm Twi-"

"Twilight Sparkle's daughter, yes. She told me a lot about you before you started writing to me. It's so great to see you in the flesh, but I must admit. You are a lot taller than I'd expect from somepony your age, why you're taller than me!" Sweetie smiled at Spectrum.

"It's a pleasure for me too"

The two hugged smiles across their face.

"Come inside and let's talk" Sweetie stepped aside and let Spectrum in.

"Button! We have a guest! Come down here, I would like you to meet her!" Sweetie called.

"Who's Button?" Spectrum asked, dumbfounded to who they were.

"Button Mash is my husband. We live here together. Sit down, I'll get us something to drink"

Sweetie Belle disappeared into the kitchen and came out a few seconds later with some juice and glasses. Behind her, Spectrum heard footsteps.

"Spectrum, this is Button Mash. Button Mash, this is Spectrum Eclipse, Princess Twilight Sparkles daughter"

"Ah, yes. Sweetie has told me a lot about you" The brown earth pony smiled and sat down.

The three chatted for a while about their careers and Spectrum's life in Canterlot when the subject changed to their families.

"Oh, I forgot to mention. We have a son, Pixelled Bullet. If you want to meet him, he is up in his room. But be careful, It's really dark in there"

"OK, then I have to go and meet back up with my friend and my mum. We have something planned this afternoon"

"We have to go soon as well, so we'll see each other soon"

Spectrum smiled and walked down the hall. At the end she looked upon a door that read;

Pix's room. Do not enter, gaming in prosess

Spectrum brought her hoof up to the door and gave it three loud and clear knocks.

"Come in" A young stallion's voice sounded from the room

Spectrum opened the door and walked in. The room was pitch black and the only light was coming from a large TV.

"Uh hi, you're Pix right?"

"Mmhmm" Spectrum looked at the face of the colt as he continued playing his game. She figured that she would at least get a response, but he didn't even twitch. She looked at the TV. There was a character running around, a sword was held in his magic and he was running at a massive giant. She then looked at the colt, he was holding something in his magic.

"What's that?" Spectrum asked. Confused as to what was happening.

"Video game"

"No, what's that you're holding?" The screen froze and the words 'Game paused' appeared.

"This is a controller. You know what that is right?" The colt flipped on the light with his magic. His coat was a dark grey and his mane was messy and brown.

"A controller?" Spectrum asked. Her head tipping slightly to one side.

"Have you never seen video games before?" Pix asked, standing up.

"No. I live in Canterlot. I'm Twilight Sparkle's daughter. I've never seen video games before" Spectrum looked away, a little ashamed.

"Wait, Twilight Sparkle. As in Princess Twilight Sparkle! You're the daughter of a Princess!?"

"Yes, but I just prefer to be treated as any other pony would be. So don't be bowing and kissing my hooves"

"Sorry, I just got a bit too excited. So what's your name? You already know mine"

"I'm Spectrum Eclipse, but you can just call me 'Clipse or Spec"

"Spec, so do you want me to teach you about video games? We've got a good ten minutes before I have to go to somewhere with my mum and dad"

"Yeah, that would be awesome!" Spectrum smiled and carefully flew over to Pix.

"So, this is the console which is where you put the disc in" He pointed at a smallish box with a small green light on the front.

"At the moment the game is pretty intricate, so I'll just change the game" Pix's horn gave off a small green glow as the open the console and swapped the disc.

"This here is the controller and this is what you use to move your character around and to 'control'  them" He levitated the small device over to Spectrum and she collected it in her own magic.

Pix started up the game and pressed a few buttons. The screen showed a loading screen.

"So you move around by using this joystick here. And you use this one to look around" He indicated at the two sticks.

Spectrum tested one by pushing it forward.

"There you go, you're starting to get the hang of it. Oh and this button lets you jump"

The two sat in Pix's room, Pix teaching and Spectrum playing for a while. Spectrum was overjoyed and excited about the new things she was learning. She looked at the time on the screen and was instantly saddened.

"I'm sorry Pix, I have to go now" Spectrum stood up.

"Same here. Well, I hope we get to see each other again. We might even get to play a game against each other!"

The two said their goodbyes before leaving

"Noone! We have to meet our mums' ar Sweet Apple Acres! Come on!"

"Oh, shit. I forgot" The two spread their wings and raced to the apple farm.

"There you two are. I was just talking about you guys. Come on" Twilight ushered the two into a large red barn.

"Darling there you are!" Rarity rushed up to Noone. "C'mon the others are waiting!"

"Girls, this is Spectrum and Noone."

"So this is ya daughter you speak so highly of. Well, it's ah pleasure to meet ya" Applejack greeted Spectrum.

"Wait a minute! Where are the CMC! They should be here by now" Pinkie Pie jumped out of nowhere

"Don't worry, they will be here in a minute. How about we get everyone here acquainted with Spectrum and Noone first" Rarity softly pushed Pinkie Pie down.

"So this is the rest of the mane 6. The other elements of harmony" Twilight addressed. "I'll do this by each element"

"This is Rainbow Dash, the element of Loyalty. Her husband here is Soarin Skies. And their two children, 5-year-old Stream Strike and 4-year-old Australis"

"This is Fluttershy, the element of Kindness and Big McIntosh. Her two daughters, 4-year-old Melody Star. Her other daughter is the same age as you, Fear. Fear is Paradox and Penrose's half sibling that they don't know about, her father is Discord"

"And now we have Applejack and Caramel. Applejack is the element of Honesty and her son is 4-year-old Toffee Golden"

"And the last but not least, we have Pinkie Pie and Cheese Sandwich. Pinkie is the element of Laughter. And her daughter is Candie Sweet. But I believe you have already met her" Twilight smiled at Spectrum.

"And I don't think that I need to introduce you to your own brother and Sapphire, do I?"

"No"

"But for the others, This is my son, Nebula Streak, he is the same age as the others, 4. And here is Sapphire Stone, Noone's half sister and Rarity's second daughter who is again, 4"

The doors opened and ten ponies walked in.

"Ah, and here are the Cutie Mark Crusaders, Spectrum and Noone."

"We have Applebloom and Tender Taps with their daughter, Honey Crisp. Scootaloo and Rumble with the Twins, Speed Strike and Jasper. And lastly, Sweetie Belle and Button Mash with-"

"Pixelled Bullet. I was just at their place"

"Yes. The only ones who weren't able to make it are Sonata, Aria with their daughter Nerida and Sunset and Adagio with Dawn, along with Starlight and Sunburst. But it's a shame that Spike and Ember couldn't make it with Emerald and Lapis. But I don't blame Sunset and Starlight, they have full on duties as alicorns. And Sonata and Aria won't go anywhere without Adagio"

"Let's not dwell on those who aren't here and let get PARTYING!!!!" Pinkie Pie screamed. Music started to play and everybody split off to talk to one and other.

"Hey Spec, so you are the new ponies in town huh?" Pix trotted over.

"So uh, where will you guys be staying?"

"My mum's old castle. You know that massive one?"

"Cool! So do you-"

"*hiss* Who are you and why are you calling Spectrum 'Spec'?" Noone growled and stood in between Pix and Spectrum.

"Noone! Calm down he's a friend of mine."

"Noone! I want you to meet your Aunt!" Rarity called out.

"Pix! Come here please!" Sweetie Belle called.

Noone gave Pix one last glare and he glared back before they walked over to their mothers. Spectrum followed Noone.

"WHAT?!" Noone and Pix yelled in sync.

"You two are cousins" The two's eyes meet in a stone cold glare

"Hey, set this aside, we have a party to enjoy!"

"Bye every pony, see you tomorrow!" Twilight called as she carried walked off, carrying a sleeping Nebula and Rarity beside her, carrying Sapphire.

"That was one hell of a party. Pinkie Pie is an amazing party planner!"

"What did I tell you. Didn't you believe all those stories I told you about?" Twilight smirked at her daughter.

"To be honest, no I didn't. It didn't think that somepony could throw a party so awesome!"

"Well, now you know. But aside from my friends. Did YOU enjoy yourself?"

"I did very much. Thank you"

Spectrum, Rarity, Noone and Spectrum walked along the path to Twilight's castle. The massive doors opened and the torches ignited, lighting up the whole castle in a smooth yellow light.

"Just choose a random room. There are heaps. Goodnight. I'll see you in the morning" Twilight smiled before leaving and taking the small sleeping Nebula.

"See you 'Clipse" Noone yawned and walked down the hall.

Spectrum looked down one of the many halls and grudgingly choose one and found a large room.

"Ugggh" Spectrum groaned and flopped onto the bed. She wasn't even close to being tired!

After a few hours of rolling around, trying to fall asleep. She finally drifted off to sleep.

It was a big night....
