The Gala to Rememberby RDDashChaptersChapter 1Chapter 2Chapter 3Chapter 4Chapter 5Chapter 6Chapter 1 Canterlot castle 12:34 am. Year 1 of Lunar Reign, July. "Sister, is that true what they said in the news paper?" Princess Luna was holding today's issue of Canterlot News, on the front page there was an article called After 1000 years of perfection Princess Celestia is calling for retirement. next to it was the small article called Ambassador Sparkle: what kind of bright future holds for the student of Princess Celestia? "I am afraid it is, dear sister," Princess Celestia answered, "I think that I simply became too old for this job." "Too old? Is that even possible for us Alicorns?" "Yes, it is. We aren't immortal Lulu, we just live long lives." "But, who is going to replace you, sister?" "I was thinking that maybe you want to take the position." "Me!" Princess Luna said with surprise. "But I." "It is okay Ambassador Sparkle told me everything. It was just a prank, is." Princess Celestia explained, "only this time I am quite serious" "She did? Is she still your student?" Princess Luna asked Princess Celestia nodded her head, "she is, she is quite brilliant isn't she?" "I suppose." "Don't worry Lulu I always be right next to you and I always give you an advice." "Thank you sister, That's all I need to hear." "Let bygones be bygones. It is okay Lulu I forgive you." "Sister, when are we going to tell Blueblood that he isn't going to get the throne." "Do we have too? I really don't want to." Poniville Library, at the same time. It's been two weeks since Princess Luna return. Upon the completion of the job the student of Princess Celestia and now the Equestrian Kingdoms newest Ambassador, she did what she was best it, the government paperwork. After that, she made a personal report to Princess Celestia, but all of this had been two weeks ago. Today have been com completely different news, this particular issue of Canterlot News was a few days old. By now the news of Princess Celestia retirement already had been knows all over Kingdoms. Meanwhile, Twilight Sparkle did receive a new letter from a Princess. Dear Twilight, my most dedicated student. As you already know news about my retirement reached your ears, fear not Princess Luna is the very capable ruler and is going to be an excellent substitute to all of those snobby government officials. I figured it, it was up to me to invite you and one of your plus ones to the Grand Galloping Gala. Twilight thought about it, Both she and The Princess knew all too well how the Grand Galloping Gala worked. While it was the most prestigious event of the year, It was also the most boring. It was a custom for the Princess to greet the guests, every single one of them. It took about two to three hours for all of the guests to arrive. Twilight Sparkle wasn't really sure why, but with her being occupied The Princess would have very little time for everything else. As her student, she can't refuse to go to, and now with the new position of Ambassador that probably means that Twilight Sparkle had to go on the double. The question is who she would take with her? Just for once she didn't want to take Spike, he probably spends all evening in the local restaurant that specializes in donuts, that traitor. There just one thing Twilight could try, the rules stated if she couldn't find somepony else to go with her, that means she could easily forfeit the invitation in the next 24 hours. "Boss what do you have here," Pinkie Pie just came in for another shift in the library. "Oh just an invitation to the Grand Galloping Gala," replied Twilight. "I know this one, the most boring party in all of the Equestria, right?" Pinkie Pie offered sympathetically. "Something like that, yes." "I suppose I could go because I know you would be miserable in there, but since you are looking for an excuse to refuse the invitation wouldn't it be easier to just ignore it?" "I thought about that, but if I simply did that it would be way too simple. Do you think the others would go if they knew about it?" "Well, Applejack would be very disinterested in the event, but I am sure she would put the brave face. Rainbow Dash wouldn't really care, but she would probably go for the sake of publicity stunt. I know Fluttershy isn't interested as well, but she would go so she could sneak away into Royal Garden. That just leaves Rarity, she won't miss a chance to expand her social circles." "Huh, well and here I thought I could make you all compete for the position of plus one." "Yeah, that does sound like an awesome idea for the first episode, and is this when we first learn our friendship lesson." "Don't you mean the third episode, Pinkie," Twilight corrected her "The first two episodes would be about me going to Ponyville to heroically prevent the invasion of evil Alicorn Princess." "Oh right, sorry I forgot." Twilight Sparkle heard from Pinkie, all about the idea that one day their life story should be adopted by Applewood in a television show, or perhaps in a few movies, or maybe both. "So it settled then that all of us should go or none of us will!" "Can we do that?" "Don't know, but it is worth to try." Twilight Sparkle took a quill pen and started writing: Dear Princess Celestia, I am afraid that I had to refuse your invitation to the gala. You see while I greatly appreciate it, I am afraid that all of my friends would like to go too. Since they can't that means I wouldn't go to. Once again thank you very much for the invitation, yours most dedicated student Twilight Sparkle. "Now all that's left is to send the postal mail with the next train. Pinkie would you please tell them about the plan." "Sure thing Twilight." Pinkie Pie saluted. Two Days Later. "Hi, Twilight Here is the new mail for you." "Thank you, Ditzy have a nice day." Twilight then took a letter and went to her desk. Dear Twilight Sparkle, my most dedicated student. Are you absolutely sure about this? Well, as long as you are sure, still I need to inform you that upon your request 11 complimentary invitations had been dispatched to their proper recipients. Twilight looked surprised, out of everything she didn't expect this plot twist, that Princess Celestia remembers all of her friends. At best she thought that Celestia would just go and invite all her five friends in Ponyville, but now Moondancer, Colgate, Twinkleshine, Lemon Hearts and Lyra could go as well. Author's Note I know what I write might seem to be insane to some people, but I do write for fun, and I have no regrets while doing it. If anyone is wondering why this story is crossover it does slightly borrow from the lore of Fallout Equestria, otherwise, it's just a safe way to add various references from other sources like the fandom and various other media. Thank you, everyone, for reading this chapter. Chapter 2 Canterlot Castle, Tuesday 2:24 pm. Prince Blueblood's Chambers. Prince Blueblood was young and very talented noble, born from one of the descendants of Princess Celestia. By tradition Princess Celestia's bloodline had been considered in very high regard. However Equestrian Kingdoms had been the matriarchal society, so the chances of him ever getting a throne is zero, zip, zilch, nada. And he completely understood that. This is why the current announcement for Princess Celestia's retirement was both intriguing for him and amusing at the same time. "What is she planning to do? Does she completely expect me to embarrass myself?" he muttered to himself. "Guard!" "What is it, Your Royal Highness?!" asked the Solar Guard, who had been stationed to him as both his bodyguard and companion. "Speak your opinion!" he ordered, "what do you think about this?" "We don't know anything Sir," Solar Guard replied the identity of the successor to the crown has completely kept a secret to everypony but The Princess herself." "Figures!" Prince Blueblood muttered. "The nerve!" "Is something wrong?" "Of course it is!" Prince Blueblood shouted, then he relaxed a bit. "All of this is just to make fun of me! to lower my guard! Oh look everypony that buffoon is made a fool out of himself again! What does she thinks I am stupid?" "No sir, no you are not." "Is this sarcasm I hear?" "No sir." Prince Blueblood sighed and went behind the curtain of the window. "Could you tell me your name, it's been almost 10 months since they assigned you to me, and I just prefer to be on the first name basis." "It's Stonehoove, sir." Carousel Boutique, 5:23 pm. "I do understand that you do business here, seamstress right?" asked Twilight Sparkle, when she went to Rarity. "Not a fan?" "Not really. The only dress I ever owned is this old thing." Twilight showed Rarity her red dress with yellow buttons. One of the buttons were broken. "When I lived in the castle, everything I needed had been provided by the state, and well." "I believe I understand, so is there any personal preferences, or would you rather buy from pre-made models." Rarity pointed on the mannequins. "You can do custom work?" "But of course dear, believe it or not, but everypony have different body proportions. Take Rainbow Dash, for example, her body is a bit rounded. Applejack, she is a bit on the thinner side. Me, I am, as you can see I, even more, thinner than she is. Pinkie Pie is right in the middle between Rainbow and Applejack, Fluttershy is a bit thin and tall hooved, you, my dear, do have thicker physical build." "Wow Rarity, I've never thought you have been that observant." "Nopony ever does," Rarity smiled. "Does this mean you are ready to order a new dress?" "Yes, please." "Wonderful, that would be ten bits for repair and fifty bits for a new one upon completion of customizations." "I think I'll choose this one then", Twilight pointed on a sky blue dress with a silver lining. "Do you think it will look good on me?" "let me see, uh yes it probably would," "Thank you very much Rarity." "No problem dear, you might want to come back within the next week, unless you wish to pickup the dress much later, then it will be plus 1 bit for a week of storage." "I'll keep that in mind, once again thank you very much Rarity." 1 Week Later. "Hi Rarity, hi Applejack!", said Twilight entering the Boutique "Hi, sugar-cube, you are here for your dress?" "I sure am. You look good in the suit AJ, and that hat, it's marvelous," said Twilight in amazement. "Thanks, although I can't imagine Rainbow wearing it, it's just not her thing." "Really, what does she going to wear then?" "A light purple dress with blue gem decorations, it's quite beautiful design, and it suits her quite well." "Glad to hear, and you Rarity?" "I am afraid that another suit for me, dear." "Oh, but I am sure you would look wonderful in it. What about Pinkie what she has. "She is a bit of odd one. She completely refused to wear a dress and instead went for a white t-shirt, pink miniskirt, and a blue jacket with boots," said Rarity. "That sounds like Pinkie Pie we know. What about Fluttershy?" "Crimson red dress with spider web design, as well as well as eye color modification to the crimson red, replied Rarity. "Eye color modification?" "Yeah the dress designed this way, it has a magic stitched into It to match it with the eyes of the wearer." "Well that nice, I guess," Twilight said while she was in her gala dress. "Oh wow, those silver pony shoes are the best." "Glad you like it. You are wearing one of the classical models after all." "Anyway I would have to go, I still need to do many things today," Twilight put her new dress into the poket dimension. Putting her old dress in the same place. Poniville Library,7:00 pm. Twilight Sparkle went to the library she then trotted to her favorite cherry wood table. She then took one of the letters and started to read. Dear Twilight Sparkle me and the girls are so happy to be invited to the Gala. Lyra and Colgate still couldn't believe it. I am sorry but due to the beginning of the new semester, we can't visit you. Don't be shy, please visit us if you'd like. Your dearest friend Moondancer. Yeah, so far so good, maybe that gala would be much more interesting this year. "Oh hey Twilight, I guess I'll be going to sleep, today was kind of tiring day." "Sure Pinkie, about your, uh, dress." "Oh, you heard about that. I kind of liked the outfit and well I went with it. Before you start saying that it would be extremely awkward for me in that outfit, I should remind you that I don't really care what those ponies think about me." . "Well okay then, I can easily say with my confidence that I warned you." ''Sure, see you tomorrow morning." Author's Note I can't help but feel sympathetic for Blueblood, considering that, let's face it he has the worst job in all of Equestria. What does it even mean to be a Prince in a political world of Equestria? Only Princesses get all the cookies. In anime, those types are arrogant at first but given the time they become likable. I am sure if the show gave two cents for him he would be too, receive Character Development. Instead, he was used as a toilet paper to satisfy Rarity's equally selfish needs, and then to be discarded and never used again. Thank you, everyone, for reading this chapter. Chapter 3 Poniville Library, August 10:00 am. "Is there anything new to do? I am bored," asked Pinkie. "Slow day at the library?" "Yes, siree!" Pinkie nodded her head. Twilight Sparkle sighed. "Taxes! Bills! Bills! More bills! Fast food promotion. Bills again! Insurance scam." "Not a lot of fun are those, huh." "Nope, not at all." Twilight do you remember our very first diplomatic incident? "Which one was it? When Gilda visited the town, or when the dragon smoked the whole town by accident." Twilight muttered, her pen still micromanaging finances. While The Library had been supported by the City Hall, there were still very common to see ponies who had their books expired. Under certain conditions, the library would also charge bits for the book rentals. "Well, I am not really sure if visiting Griffin was such a big deal, besides Rainbow Dash handle it. All of us just shrugged it off as different cultural norms." "Gilda, species Griffin, sub species classical, born in Gryphonstone. Picked up by the Cloudsdale student exchange program when she was 6, which is weird because that almost never happens," Twilight started to profile her victim. "What, like somepony was screwing around with the screwdriver?" "Yeah," Twilight cringed at analogy "you know what the weird part, all the paperwork had been submitted to the proper channels, and all bureaucrats claimed that it was accurate, so get this, all of it was just blank. A magical scan revealed slight psychic suggestion to make ponies see things that aren't there." "Huh, all of the time is just a big ball of wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey staff," Pinkie shrugged off. "I would need to remember that." "As long as you wouldn't burn down the house with the lemon." "That too." "Do you remember when Trixie was visiting the town?" "Traveling unicorn performers are outside our jurisdiction, Pinkie!" Twilight scoffed. "Besides, I've told you many times before to just leave her alone." "Well, I did, it's not my fault that others didn't listen." "True that speaking of the dragon, it was a very complicated issue. On one hoof dragons belong to predatory species, and theretofore ponies as species tend to naturally avoid them. All of it, the diplomacy process basically revolves to we don't interfere with each other business. The same with Griffins actually. "Twilight went into lecture mode. "On another hoof, they aren't just mindless beasts. Turns out that specific dragon had a bad case of sleeping habits, and all I needed to do was is to explain in a calm, and, I am going to stress this out, in an calm voice that if he wishes to stay here he must obey The Equestrian Kingdoms anti pollution laws." Pinkie nodded on autopilot, at this point she tends to tune out Twilight. "Anyway, it would have been very problematic for me to force the whole group to go with me. Again! Could you imagine if we would let Rainbow Dash in charge? It's not like I don't like other ponies doing my work for me. It would of being a complete disaster, and what is going to be the point of it?" "To show the importance of Fluttershy being able to face her fears?" Pinkie pitched in. "Yeah that, if she actually wants to do it we can all do it to help her. Otherwise, does the phrase , No, means no" actually means anything outside of sexual relationships? Twilight sighed. "Anyway, any more charming memories?" "Zecora?" "Don't get me started on that, not only we have the classical case of pony racism. That is pretty hilarious considering the government policy of, and I quote Friendship and Harmony, end quote. But let's forget that, we have a very suspicious zebra who lives in the dark forest that nopony wants to go to." Pinkie Pie turned out her again. "I don't really, understand why she refuses to live in the town. At best I could do is to make a background check on her, and guess what, she is the only zebra here undocumented or otherwise. Are you sure she is not just going to end up dead in her hut from the portion accident or something, and then we would all forget she exists?" "That's kind of morbid Twilight, I am sure she will be fine!" "Twilight, do you know where is Spike is?" "He is probably outside, doing whatever dragons do, like in their spare time. Just be glad that he isn't actually here, and I mean it in a good way." "Uh huh!" .... Pinkie Pie and Twilight spend another few hours. Pinkie Pie was still suffering from boredom, and Twilight was doing taxes. Nor she or Twilight was actually enjoying it. "Pinkie, guess what are we going out do next month?" "The publicity stunt that aimed at the upcoming Grand Galloping Gala, which would also allow Rarity to advertise her career as dressmaker?" "Bingo! Ten points to Hufflepuff." Why thank you, Professor Sparkle," Pinkie Pie giggled. "Pinkie I thought you were a Ravenclaw, so why Hufflepuff?" "It's a bit complicated while I am intelligent, I am also easy going and very social. Isn't it right miss Slytherclaw?" "Touche. Would you like to go for an ice cream?" "Oh is this an invitation?" Pinkie Pie teased. "Are you sure your male friend would not get jealous?" "It's nothing like that, come on, Pinkie be serious about it" "But I always am," Pinkie Pie smiled. Pinkie Pie and Twilight continued to be in the library, doing their own work. At some point, Twilight would make a snarky remark and Pinkie would reply at best of her ability. They had been going with this, back and forth until the late evening. "Hi Twilight, how is your day has been?" asked Spike. "It's been doing fun I suppose. How was yours?" "It's been really great, I' ve met new friends in town. They call themselves Cutie Mark Crusaders, CMC for short, and well yes it's been great, right. " "Well okay then, glad that you'd have such a good time. Listen Spike next month me and the girls are going to Canterlot for the presentation. Just thought you should know." "Um, sure!?" "Right don't worry about it right now. Now then let's go make dinner and sleep." "Sounds good." Author's Note I thought about how I am going to handle Gilda, Trixie, and Zecora, originally I wanted to give them separate story arcs. Maybe I'll still do. Based on the whole Star Trek-ish thematic, Discord is Q, Twilight is Spock, and Rainbow is a mixture of Kirk and Dylan Hunt, Sweetie Belle is partially based of Rommie/Andromeda, Zecora is Guinan. Discord, what are you doing here? You are two centuries too early. Anyway, then, I thought that it would probably be better if secondary characters were introduced as a part of intermission chapter. Perhaps, who knows maybe Discord will take Twilight in a mentor position to test her limits. Thank you, everyone, for reading this chapter. Chapter 4 Poniville Train Station, August, 12:34 am. Twilight and the girls were standing on the train station.it was already past noon and their train was about to arrive. "I am so excited!" Pinkie Pie said happily "We are about to see your home town Twilight." "You are saying that despite practically living near the capital you never bothered to visit it?" "Oh don't be a party pooper. Besides, when did you ever visited Ponyvile for the first time?" "Besides just recently doing the assignment for the Princess, no never." See, I've told you so!" Pinkie exclaimed "Alright, alright, you've made your point, can we please move on?" "Sure, works for me." "What's wrong dear?" asked Rarity with a bit of confusion. Twilight has simply had a very distracted look. "It's nothing, I simply bothered a bit lately of how trains work," replied Twilight. "Beg your pardon?" asked Rarity. "She is just confused about how trains sometimes take the different amount of time to travel the same distance from point A to point B. "Pinkie replied instead of Twilight. "Yeah that, how far do you think the train can travel, from sunrise to sunrise?" Twilight continued."Pretty far actually. Considering that the introduction of modern trains based on the magic tech, that had been an improvement." "Temporal instability propulsion drive? I heard trains now have those," said Pinkie. "Temporal what now?", asked Applejack. "The technology that specializes in moving the vehicle by creating a special field, that wraps it in time and space. That was basically the principle of the magical theory. The fuel is used to convert the kinetic energy into magic," Twilight started explaining. "Oh, I know that it just seems like an overkill to apply that technology for that." "Some ponies can definitely see that, but we as a nation can't really rely on the coal forever. Everyone remembers Zecora right, we export the coal from Zebrica, but we, well, you got the point I am trying to make." Twilight started explaining, but quickly cut herself off. "Well, who wants snacks?" Pinkie Pie quickly interrupted, she just saved Twilight from making a situation more awkward. "Me! Me! Pick me!" Rainbow said. "Are there any marshmallows?" "What a good choice Dashie, anypony else wants anything?" Pinkie grinned maniacally. "Uh Pinkie dear," Rarity started saying. "What is it? What did you pick?" "Oh no!" Twilight finally clicked. "What is it darling, should I be worried?" "I don't think so, but today was the busy day and Pinkie just forgot to take her, um, pills." "It's okay Twilight, let me handle it," Fluttershy said, she then trotted to Pinkie. "Hey, it's okay!" "Fluttershy! Did you already picked what you want?" Pinkie noticed Fluttershy and she then focused her attention on her "Well, why don't you help me choose then!" Fluttershy tried to distract Pinkie. Pinkie blinked. "Of course I would help you out," Pinkie said with excitement. Everypony relaxed instant, after hearing this. Thank you, Fluttershy, your sacrifice wouldn't be in vain, thought Twilight. Um, your welcome Twilight, but I am not planning to die yet. well, whatever it is,... wait for what? Fluttershy, how are you in my head? I am an esper, Twilight, telepathy is my specialty. how else do you think I can understand animals? Well in that case,... listen it's not important. We can talk about that later. You are right about that. "Pinkie let's go." Pinkie nodded her head and they both trotted out of the compartment. "Well, that was quite interesting," Twilight muttered. Canterlot's Train Station 7:00 pm "Well, we are here darlings, It's a city of dreams!" Rarity said with excitement. "Actually, that would be Manhattan," corrected her Rainbow Dash. "I know where this is going, and please don't try to pole dance on a lamp pole. You will soon find out that here, decency laws are strictly enforced," snapped at her Twilight. "I would never!" said Rarity a bit insulted. "Well don't! I would really hate to pull some strings to pull you out of royal dungeons. Then When I would actually come there I would find you pushed to the wall, while you would screw around with Royal Guards." "Ew! Ewww! Ew! Just Ew! Twilight I don't want to hear that! Rainbow was extremely disgusted from a mental picture. "What, it's not like you wouldn't like it? I'll bet you would just join her!" Twilight yelled. "Twilight, please stop you are making everypony uncomfortable." pleaded Fluttershy. "Darling, if you are about that cave incident, then I am sorry!" "Alright I'll bite this time," Twilight became civilized once again. "Come on girls we are all been there," said Fluttershy. "Thanks to you Twilight we diffused that situation with minimum casualties." "Yeah, true enough," said Applejack. "I think we can almost make it if we hurry," offered Pinkie. Ten minutes later. "Hello Ms. Rarity, Ms. Twilight, " said Hoity Toity, he was waiting for them to arrive. "What, we aren't good enough for you?" "Rainbow, please behave." said Fluttershy. "No, no, it's quite alright, that was on me to blame." "Please excuse my companions," Twilight said with the forced smile. "Seriously Rainbow, if you say another word," she hissed. "I don't know what you mean?" whispered Rainbow with her own innocent smile. "It was his fault for being rude." "Alright let's just do it," said Pinkie Pie. "Just smile and wave girls! Smile and wave!" said Twilight. All of them entered the next room full of news reporters and flashes of cameras. "Look at me, Twilight, I am smiling and waving," Pinkie whispered with excitement. What has my life become? That's why it called life, it's complicated and sometimes we don't know what to do, but it's our life and we choose to make it better. Thanks, Fluttershy, I really need it. "Hello girls, I am glad all of you managed to come." "Hello Twilight, it's been awhile," said Moondancer. "Let me get drinks for you, the usual?" "Sure, why not, that would be nice right now." "Stressful night?" "Yeah, a bit." "Ever missed old days? You know you can always come back." "It's quite alright, you know you can always come to Poniville?!" "Gone native, I see." "I am afraid I am, is it such a crime?" "No, of course not silly," said Pinkie Pie. "Now then let's just enjoy the evening together." Author's Note Well, that did just happen, we know this was a tv-y show but we were all thinking it what Rarity was doing in Dog and a Pony Show.Why there are no female Diamond Dogs anyway? In reality, that episode was one of my favorites, Rarity was really awesome in this one. Thank you, everyone, for reading this chapter. Chapter 5 CMC's Club House, 10:00 am. "Ever since ten months ago when we first created this club with pride and joy, ever since that day I always wanted to share with you my greatest secret." Sweetie Belle said "I think I am confused. Secret, what do you mean?" asked Apple Bloom. "It is a very special super duper secret," answered back Sweetie Belle. "Please just trust me on this one." "Okay, sure, but what it is?" "First you have to Pinkie Promise me to not to tell anyone." "What?" "You have to promise or no secret." "Alright, alright I Apple Bloom Pinkie Promise, not to tell anypony. . . " "Anyone." "What?" "You need to promise not to tell anyone about it." "Oh alright, I Apple Bloom Pinkie Promise not to tell anyone about the secret that Sweetie Belle would tell me, cross my heart, hope to die, stick a niddle in my eye." "Good, now I want you to close your eyes and grab my hoof." "Sweetie, what the?" "Just trust me on this one Apple Bloom, pretty please!" Sweetie Belle said. "What I am about to do requires physical contact." "So it's like Unicorn's magic." Apple Bloom asked. "Yes, just like that. it's very special spell only I can do." "Okay, do it!" Apple Bloom grabbed Sweetie Belle hoof and waited. . . "Well?" she asked impatiently. Apple Bloom it's already done, you can open your eyes now. Apple Bloom opened her eyes, and then she noticed that they wasn't in a club house anymore. "So what? it's a wink out spell, even Twilight can do that! What so special about that?" "Yes, that true but tell me something where we are?" "I don't know, in the metal box?" "That's a very primitive way to think about it, but please try again. It might be somewhat mean for me to do this but think of this like a game." Apple Bloom looked again, then she noticed something strange, while they were in some sort of metal structure, it wasn't anything that she or anypony from her family knew. Somehow she could sense the metal? "It may sound a bit weird but what does it made of?" " It may be a bit cliché but it's called Hardsteel, short for hardened steel." "I knew it, you just made the whole thing up!" "Did not!" "Did to!" "Did not!" "Did too! Oh hey Scootaloo, please tell Sweetie Belle that her game is stupid. Wait, Scootaloo what are you doing here?" "Uh, I do live here, sometimes," Scootaloo replied. "I knew it, we are in Ponyvile all along!" "Actually we aren't" "You know, Sweetie Belle kept asking me to play the game, and I thought that game quickly grew old. . . Wait what, what do you mean we aren't in Ponyvile?" "Exactly what I said we aren't in Ponyvile. Oh I see what's going on, I've should of guess t Sweetie Belle stop messing around with Apple Bloom." "Spoil sport,"said Sweetie Belle "Sweetie Belle quit it, you spend way too much time with Rainbow Dash. I already have an awesome mom, I don't really want another one." "1509 years 11 months 24 days 11 hours 35 minutes," Sweetie Belle stated with pride, her eyes were bright red. "I said, quit it!" "This gets weirder and weirder," said Apple Bloom. "Help me here, I think she is frozen!" said Scootaloo. "Huh?" "Translation, every time she do this, her logical processors hangs up." "Huh!" "Exactly, override command Sigma Prime initiate reboot sequence." " Processing. . . Override command accepted. . . Initiating reboot sequence. . ." "Well, okay then, we have about five minutes until she wakes up. I assume that she just drag you out all the way here?" Scootaloo asked Apple Bloom. Apple Bloom just nodded her head. "I don't understand, what is going on?" "Sweetie Belle is an android, and right now we are on the Moon," Apple Bloom just looked at her. "I am serious Apple Bloom, you aren't supposed to be here." "Girls!" "I don't and you do?" Apple Bloom asked "That's different!" replied Scootaloo . "Different how?" "It's just is." "Girls!!" "Oh, of course it is. . ." "GIRLS!!!" "What?", they both shouted. "Girls, this is my fault! That's what! And if you need to yell, yell at me."Sweet Belle sighted. " Just for once I thought that things would be different this time. Bloom just walk with me, I'll explain everything." So then you are a milennia old starship and you just wanted to let us all in the loop?" Apple Bloom asked. "Yeah that's kind of an idea. I don't actually remembers how old I am, I think I forgot." "Wow, I mean that's actually kind of exiting. I am sorry I overreacted." "That's okay, this is to be expected. I mean you should of seen Applejack when Rainbow Dash first dragged her here." "Was there any others?" "Others?" "Yeah, starships like you, your sisters." "Some of them I forgot, some of them got lost. However there one big sister left here on the moon. Come on let me show you." Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom went past many corridors, and they exited right into big crater. Inside it, there it was half buried was a very long starship, it looked sleek and streamlined, four big heavy turrets were mounted on the top of it each turret had four guns in each making it total of sixteen. "Here she is my older sister Platinum, an elite Battleship class starship. She is four kilometers long, and armed with magnetically accelerated slug cannons and one hundred point blank self defense lasers. It just well ever since she crash landed here, she. . ." "You admire her don't you, is something wrong?" "It's just well it's been so long, I think she is gone." "But isn't she?" "It's just a shell, I mean if somepony can be volunteer to be absorbed to function as an AI. The starship could still be operated. In this case adult pony is need it to operate this ship. The older pony is the bigger the ship is. Sometimes there were few experimental starships that required multiple ponies to be copied, They were " Sweetie Belle explained. "Volunteered, you mean you were once a living pony." "Yes, I was, I am just the copy of Sweetie Belle who lived very long time ago." "So if somepony volunteers, then!?" "Yes, their minds would be copied, and the pony in question would just continue to live their lives like nothing happened. But enough about me, let's go find Scootaloo, I've got some explaining to do." Author's Note At this point it becomes somewhat of a cliché that somepony is going to be whisked out on to the moon, but yeah it had to happen. There is a story that currently in the moderation process, so some time soon it should be posted on line. Yeah, I went and done it, I very changed the Pinkie Promise. In my defense it's still better than swallowing 1000 needles Chapter 6 Ponyville Library. September 28th,11:15 am. Today Twilight Sparkle woke up early in the morning. Just recently she went to bookstore and there she found Rainbow Dash browsing the latest catalog of recent publishers. Interesting! she thought. Library resources was freely available, and yet Rainbow Dash wanted to go to the book store. Could that mean that Rainbow Dash is a collector? It would be quite a lot of fun to figure out what she actually liked to read. But for now Twilight Sparkle need to be in the present. "Right then what I am going to do today?" She wondered out loud. "Oh right today is Pinkie Pie's birthday." "Oh hello Twilight, good morning", said Pinkie Pie. "Oh, good morning to you too Pinkie, I thought I will do it early today and just say it right now. Happy birthday to you Pinkie Pie!" "Thank you very much Twilight for remembering about it," said Pinkie Pie with tears in her eyes. "I don't know what would I would of done if I thought you would ignore me or something like that. Probably would of become extremely paranoid and would of like tried to force all of you to go into another party for Gummy the gator." "But Pinkie how would we prepared the party for your birthday, if we would of go on one of your gator patties, which are don't get me wrong they are great. But they are kind of your plea for loneliness. I don't know if this is kind of right idea." "Pretty much, yeah. Thank you for understanding me, Twilight." "Alright then with that she checked Eliminate this week episode conflict check mark. Alright Pinkie, I guess I have no other choice but to make sure the party would be ready sometime after 7:00 pm. Meanwhile would you please make sure that our dear friend would get a chance to pass by Sweet Apple Acres around that time...Wink wink, nudge nudge." Pinkie Pie grinned. "Oh, oh okay, I'll make sure to do that. Any news about your brother?" "What about him? Twilight asked innocently. "About him and Princess Cadence?" said Pinkie "Well, she is not my Princess and I didn't vote for her." "You can't vote for a Princess silly, we live in a dictatorship," reminded her Pinkie. "Damn it, well then I'll go into another world, surely there is another copy of me living there in another world. Wink wink, nudge nudge." "Well you will, but you can only do it after season four and only after you can be called a Princess yourself," explained Pinkie. "Season four, but that like three more years. I can't wait that long! What can I do to skip all that nonsense, time travel?" "Not yet, that will be in season two." "Will I'll go back to the future?". asked Twilight. "Well no, you will travel one week into the past for a few minutes, " explained Pinkie "What? no! Why would I do that? Wait, no, don't answer that question. Will I'll do it again?" "Yep, in season five." "And?..." "Oh sorry, I am afraid you would be traveling to the past again. Only this time you will be stopping insane communist unicorn by the name of Starlight Glimmer from trying to change the future about five times," Pinkie Pie gasped. "Meanwhile Rainbow Dash and Starlight Glimmer from the future, they both are by the way, would try to stop your evil mirror pool clone. By using stolen TARDIS, and a broken horn of King Sombra, he didn't die by the way, our little Dashie would then trap your evil clone in the dimensional bubble wrap. Where then your evil clone would die, which would then result in a dimensional bubble wrap to implode by itself, which would then warp it way back into the far future." Pinkie Pie let go of the breath she was holding. "Wait what? How did you know all of that?" "Author told me, he said that I should tell readers all of that." "What readers?" Twilght asked Pinkie Pie. "We are not alone here, other ponies watching us Twilight," whispered Pinkie. "Well let them watch I have nothing to hide," said Twilight. "Wait, what is it about King Sombra?" "Oh that was just, after failed coup of recapturing Crystal Empire, he and our little Dashie, and Scootaloo, would retire into his homeland in a Far East." "But you just said that Starlight and Rainbow would time travel into the past to stop evil me!'" said Twilight. "I did? Of course I did! Because of time bubble wrap explosion there are now two of the Rainbow Dash, one who went into Far East and another one who lives with us, or should I say going to live with us. Now that I think about it there are two Scootaloos as well." "I am confused now, that doesn't make any sense." "Time travel never does Twilight," said Pinkie. "I mean there are, you know what, I lost count of, how way too many movies are about killer robots using time travel to kill that one pony who would lead a rebellion against killer robots." "That sounds like a very terrible movie franchise, like something I would make." "It's kind of is, but it's an action movie, and ponies will just pay the money to see the brand. Just ask Mareval?" "Anyway you mention it something about Fluttershy becoming a vampire bat pony, and you said it's going to be permanent. By a vampire you mean like in those Larson forsaken books about sparkling vampires? "Larson," Pinkie Pie snickered, Larson was the second best Demi Alicorn in Equestrian Kingdoms. The first place is given to the Demi Alicorn Lauren Faust, but that completely different story. "Of course not, you silly, she is the real bucking vampire. Pardon my Prench." " Je ne crois pas que ce soit en français Pinkie, pourquoi est-ce que j'ai retrouvé le Stargate?"* "To rescue stolen element of Harmony, which is also your crown." "Pinkie, c'est ridicule, nous n'avons pas d'éléments d'harmonie. D'ailleurs, même si nous l'avons fait, ce ne sont que des déchets inutiles qui n'ont rien fait. Comme vous m'avez dit que la magie était à l'intérieur de nous tout au long."** Sweet Apple Acres, 7:00 pm. "We are all happy that you could make it Pinkie Pie", said Twilight Sparkle. "I will never miss it for the world Twilight," Pinkie's eyes watered. "Thank you Twilight, thank you everyone." "Happy birthday Pinkie Pie! Happy birthday to you!" all six of them plus Spike with Cutie Mark Crusaders said at the same time. Meanwhile on the EQG planet. "Dean Cadence, did you just said that you and my brother are engaged?" asked human Twilight Sparkle. "Yes, is something wrong Twilight?" "It's nothing Dean Cadence, I am just happy you aren't a Princess. Thank you Larson!" Author's Note *I don't believe this was in ~~F~~Prench. Pinkie why did I went through the Stargate again? - Google translate. ** Pinkie, that's ridiculous we never had elements of Harmony. Besides, even if we did, those were just useless junk that did nothing. Like you told me before the magic was inside of us all along. - G.T. So this chapter is a bit experimental, for the first time Twilight is speaking Prench, and Pinkie Pie understands her but speaka Equish. I thought for a while what could possibly be a pony religion was like. At some point I thought that all of them are kind of like atheist, but I decided against it. I mean someponies are atheist, but not all of them. There were just so many things wrong with EQG to say them all we would need an entire separate story arc. Thank you everyone for reading this chapter.
Chapter 1 Canterlot castle 12:34 am. Year 1 of Lunar Reign, July. "Sister, is that true what they said in the news paper?" Princess Luna was holding today's issue of Canterlot News, on the front page there was an article called After 1000 years of perfection Princess Celestia is calling for retirement. next to it was the small article called Ambassador Sparkle: what kind of bright future holds for the student of Princess Celestia? "I am afraid it is, dear sister," Princess Celestia answered, "I think that I simply became too old for this job." "Too old? Is that even possible for us Alicorns?" "Yes, it is. We aren't immortal Lulu, we just live long lives." "But, who is going to replace you, sister?" "I was thinking that maybe you want to take the position." "Me!" Princess Luna said with surprise. "But I." "It is okay Ambassador Sparkle told me everything. It was just a prank, is." Princess Celestia explained, "only this time I am quite serious" "She did? Is she still your student?" Princess Luna asked Princess Celestia nodded her head, "she is, she is quite brilliant isn't she?" "I suppose." "Don't worry Lulu I always be right next to you and I always give you an advice." "Thank you sister, That's all I need to hear." "Let bygones be bygones. It is okay Lulu I forgive you." "Sister, when are we going to tell Blueblood that he isn't going to get the throne." "Do we have too? I really don't want to." Poniville Library, at the same time. It's been two weeks since Princess Luna return. Upon the completion of the job the student of Princess Celestia and now the Equestrian Kingdoms newest Ambassador, she did what she was best it, the government paperwork. After that, she made a personal report to Princess Celestia, but all of this had been two weeks ago. Today have been com completely different news, this particular issue of Canterlot News was a few days old. By now the news of Princess Celestia retirement already had been knows all over Kingdoms. Meanwhile, Twilight Sparkle did receive a new letter from a Princess. Dear Twilight, my most dedicated student. As you already know news about my retirement reached your ears, fear not Princess Luna is the very capable ruler and is going to be an excellent substitute to all of those snobby government officials. I figured it, it was up to me to invite you and one of your plus ones to the Grand Galloping Gala. Twilight thought about it, Both she and The Princess knew all too well how the Grand Galloping Gala worked. While it was the most prestigious event of the year, It was also the most boring. It was a custom for the Princess to greet the guests, every single one of them. It took about two to three hours for all of the guests to arrive. Twilight Sparkle wasn't really sure why, but with her being occupied The Princess would have very little time for everything else. As her student, she can't refuse to go to, and now with the new position of Ambassador that probably means that Twilight Sparkle had to go on the double. The question is who she would take with her? Just for once she didn't want to take Spike, he probably spends all evening in the local restaurant that specializes in donuts, that traitor. There just one thing Twilight could try, the rules stated if she couldn't find somepony else to go with her, that means she could easily forfeit the invitation in the next 24 hours. "Boss what do you have here," Pinkie Pie just came in for another shift in the library. "Oh just an invitation to the Grand Galloping Gala," replied Twilight. "I know this one, the most boring party in all of the Equestria, right?" Pinkie Pie offered sympathetically. "Something like that, yes." "I suppose I could go because I know you would be miserable in there, but since you are looking for an excuse to refuse the invitation wouldn't it be easier to just ignore it?" "I thought about that, but if I simply did that it would be way too simple. Do you think the others would go if they knew about it?" "Well, Applejack would be very disinterested in the event, but I am sure she would put the brave face. Rainbow Dash wouldn't really care, but she would probably go for the sake of publicity stunt. I know Fluttershy isn't interested as well, but she would go so she could sneak away into Royal Garden. That just leaves Rarity, she won't miss a chance to expand her social circles." "Huh, well and here I thought I could make you all compete for the position of plus one." "Yeah, that does sound like an awesome idea for the first episode, and is this when we first learn our friendship lesson." "Don't you mean the third episode, Pinkie," Twilight corrected her "The first two episodes would be about me going to Ponyville to heroically prevent the invasion of evil Alicorn Princess." "Oh right, sorry I forgot." Twilight Sparkle heard from Pinkie, all about the idea that one day their life story should be adopted by Applewood in a television show, or perhaps in a few movies, or maybe both. "So it settled then that all of us should go or none of us will!" "Can we do that?" "Don't know, but it is worth to try." Twilight Sparkle took a quill pen and started writing: Dear Princess Celestia, I am afraid that I had to refuse your invitation to the gala. You see while I greatly appreciate it, I am afraid that all of my friends would like to go too. Since they can't that means I wouldn't go to. Once again thank you very much for the invitation, yours most dedicated student Twilight Sparkle. "Now all that's left is to send the postal mail with the next train. Pinkie would you please tell them about the plan." "Sure thing Twilight." Pinkie Pie saluted. Two Days Later. "Hi, Twilight Here is the new mail for you." "Thank you, Ditzy have a nice day." Twilight then took a letter and went to her desk. Dear Twilight Sparkle, my most dedicated student. Are you absolutely sure about this? Well, as long as you are sure, still I need to inform you that upon your request 11 complimentary invitations had been dispatched to their proper recipients. Twilight looked surprised, out of everything she didn't expect this plot twist, that Princess Celestia remembers all of her friends. At best she thought that Celestia would just go and invite all her five friends in Ponyville, but now Moondancer, Colgate, Twinkleshine, Lemon Hearts and Lyra could go as well. Author's Note I know what I write might seem to be insane to some people, but I do write for fun, and I have no regrets while doing it. If anyone is wondering why this story is crossover it does slightly borrow from the lore of Fallout Equestria, otherwise, it's just a safe way to add various references from other sources like the fandom and various other media. Thank you, everyone, for reading this chapter.
Chapter 2 Canterlot Castle, Tuesday 2:24 pm. Prince Blueblood's Chambers. Prince Blueblood was young and very talented noble, born from one of the descendants of Princess Celestia. By tradition Princess Celestia's bloodline had been considered in very high regard. However Equestrian Kingdoms had been the matriarchal society, so the chances of him ever getting a throne is zero, zip, zilch, nada. And he completely understood that. This is why the current announcement for Princess Celestia's retirement was both intriguing for him and amusing at the same time. "What is she planning to do? Does she completely expect me to embarrass myself?" he muttered to himself. "Guard!" "What is it, Your Royal Highness?!" asked the Solar Guard, who had been stationed to him as both his bodyguard and companion. "Speak your opinion!" he ordered, "what do you think about this?" "We don't know anything Sir," Solar Guard replied the identity of the successor to the crown has completely kept a secret to everypony but The Princess herself." "Figures!" Prince Blueblood muttered. "The nerve!" "Is something wrong?" "Of course it is!" Prince Blueblood shouted, then he relaxed a bit. "All of this is just to make fun of me! to lower my guard! Oh look everypony that buffoon is made a fool out of himself again! What does she thinks I am stupid?" "No sir, no you are not." "Is this sarcasm I hear?" "No sir." Prince Blueblood sighed and went behind the curtain of the window. "Could you tell me your name, it's been almost 10 months since they assigned you to me, and I just prefer to be on the first name basis." "It's Stonehoove, sir." Carousel Boutique, 5:23 pm. "I do understand that you do business here, seamstress right?" asked Twilight Sparkle, when she went to Rarity. "Not a fan?" "Not really. The only dress I ever owned is this old thing." Twilight showed Rarity her red dress with yellow buttons. One of the buttons were broken. "When I lived in the castle, everything I needed had been provided by the state, and well." "I believe I understand, so is there any personal preferences, or would you rather buy from pre-made models." Rarity pointed on the mannequins. "You can do custom work?" "But of course dear, believe it or not, but everypony have different body proportions. Take Rainbow Dash, for example, her body is a bit rounded. Applejack, she is a bit on the thinner side. Me, I am, as you can see I, even more, thinner than she is. Pinkie Pie is right in the middle between Rainbow and Applejack, Fluttershy is a bit thin and tall hooved, you, my dear, do have thicker physical build." "Wow Rarity, I've never thought you have been that observant." "Nopony ever does," Rarity smiled. "Does this mean you are ready to order a new dress?" "Yes, please." "Wonderful, that would be ten bits for repair and fifty bits for a new one upon completion of customizations." "I think I'll choose this one then", Twilight pointed on a sky blue dress with a silver lining. "Do you think it will look good on me?" "let me see, uh yes it probably would," "Thank you very much Rarity." "No problem dear, you might want to come back within the next week, unless you wish to pickup the dress much later, then it will be plus 1 bit for a week of storage." "I'll keep that in mind, once again thank you very much Rarity." 1 Week Later. "Hi Rarity, hi Applejack!", said Twilight entering the Boutique "Hi, sugar-cube, you are here for your dress?" "I sure am. You look good in the suit AJ, and that hat, it's marvelous," said Twilight in amazement. "Thanks, although I can't imagine Rainbow wearing it, it's just not her thing." "Really, what does she going to wear then?" "A light purple dress with blue gem decorations, it's quite beautiful design, and it suits her quite well." "Glad to hear, and you Rarity?" "I am afraid that another suit for me, dear." "Oh, but I am sure you would look wonderful in it. What about Pinkie what she has. "She is a bit of odd one. She completely refused to wear a dress and instead went for a white t-shirt, pink miniskirt, and a blue jacket with boots," said Rarity. "That sounds like Pinkie Pie we know. What about Fluttershy?" "Crimson red dress with spider web design, as well as well as eye color modification to the crimson red, replied Rarity. "Eye color modification?" "Yeah the dress designed this way, it has a magic stitched into It to match it with the eyes of the wearer." "Well that nice, I guess," Twilight said while she was in her gala dress. "Oh wow, those silver pony shoes are the best." "Glad you like it. You are wearing one of the classical models after all." "Anyway I would have to go, I still need to do many things today," Twilight put her new dress into the poket dimension. Putting her old dress in the same place. Poniville Library,7:00 pm. Twilight Sparkle went to the library she then trotted to her favorite cherry wood table. She then took one of the letters and started to read. Dear Twilight Sparkle me and the girls are so happy to be invited to the Gala. Lyra and Colgate still couldn't believe it. I am sorry but due to the beginning of the new semester, we can't visit you. Don't be shy, please visit us if you'd like. Your dearest friend Moondancer. Yeah, so far so good, maybe that gala would be much more interesting this year. "Oh hey Twilight, I guess I'll be going to sleep, today was kind of tiring day." "Sure Pinkie, about your, uh, dress." "Oh, you heard about that. I kind of liked the outfit and well I went with it. Before you start saying that it would be extremely awkward for me in that outfit, I should remind you that I don't really care what those ponies think about me." . "Well okay then, I can easily say with my confidence that I warned you." ''Sure, see you tomorrow morning." Author's Note I can't help but feel sympathetic for Blueblood, considering that, let's face it he has the worst job in all of Equestria. What does it even mean to be a Prince in a political world of Equestria? Only Princesses get all the cookies. In anime, those types are arrogant at first but given the time they become likable. I am sure if the show gave two cents for him he would be too, receive Character Development. Instead, he was used as a toilet paper to satisfy Rarity's equally selfish needs, and then to be discarded and never used again. Thank you, everyone, for reading this chapter.
Chapter 3 Poniville Library, August 10:00 am. "Is there anything new to do? I am bored," asked Pinkie. "Slow day at the library?" "Yes, siree!" Pinkie nodded her head. Twilight Sparkle sighed. "Taxes! Bills! Bills! More bills! Fast food promotion. Bills again! Insurance scam." "Not a lot of fun are those, huh." "Nope, not at all." Twilight do you remember our very first diplomatic incident? "Which one was it? When Gilda visited the town, or when the dragon smoked the whole town by accident." Twilight muttered, her pen still micromanaging finances. While The Library had been supported by the City Hall, there were still very common to see ponies who had their books expired. Under certain conditions, the library would also charge bits for the book rentals. "Well, I am not really sure if visiting Griffin was such a big deal, besides Rainbow Dash handle it. All of us just shrugged it off as different cultural norms." "Gilda, species Griffin, sub species classical, born in Gryphonstone. Picked up by the Cloudsdale student exchange program when she was 6, which is weird because that almost never happens," Twilight started to profile her victim. "What, like somepony was screwing around with the screwdriver?" "Yeah," Twilight cringed at analogy "you know what the weird part, all the paperwork had been submitted to the proper channels, and all bureaucrats claimed that it was accurate, so get this, all of it was just blank. A magical scan revealed slight psychic suggestion to make ponies see things that aren't there." "Huh, all of the time is just a big ball of wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey staff," Pinkie shrugged off. "I would need to remember that." "As long as you wouldn't burn down the house with the lemon." "That too." "Do you remember when Trixie was visiting the town?" "Traveling unicorn performers are outside our jurisdiction, Pinkie!" Twilight scoffed. "Besides, I've told you many times before to just leave her alone." "Well, I did, it's not my fault that others didn't listen." "True that speaking of the dragon, it was a very complicated issue. On one hoof dragons belong to predatory species, and theretofore ponies as species tend to naturally avoid them. All of it, the diplomacy process basically revolves to we don't interfere with each other business. The same with Griffins actually. "Twilight went into lecture mode. "On another hoof, they aren't just mindless beasts. Turns out that specific dragon had a bad case of sleeping habits, and all I needed to do was is to explain in a calm, and, I am going to stress this out, in an calm voice that if he wishes to stay here he must obey The Equestrian Kingdoms anti pollution laws." Pinkie nodded on autopilot, at this point she tends to tune out Twilight. "Anyway, it would have been very problematic for me to force the whole group to go with me. Again! Could you imagine if we would let Rainbow Dash in charge? It's not like I don't like other ponies doing my work for me. It would of being a complete disaster, and what is going to be the point of it?" "To show the importance of Fluttershy being able to face her fears?" Pinkie pitched in. "Yeah that, if she actually wants to do it we can all do it to help her. Otherwise, does the phrase , No, means no" actually means anything outside of sexual relationships? Twilight sighed. "Anyway, any more charming memories?" "Zecora?" "Don't get me started on that, not only we have the classical case of pony racism. That is pretty hilarious considering the government policy of, and I quote Friendship and Harmony, end quote. But let's forget that, we have a very suspicious zebra who lives in the dark forest that nopony wants to go to." Pinkie Pie turned out her again. "I don't really, understand why she refuses to live in the town. At best I could do is to make a background check on her, and guess what, she is the only zebra here undocumented or otherwise. Are you sure she is not just going to end up dead in her hut from the portion accident or something, and then we would all forget she exists?" "That's kind of morbid Twilight, I am sure she will be fine!" "Twilight, do you know where is Spike is?" "He is probably outside, doing whatever dragons do, like in their spare time. Just be glad that he isn't actually here, and I mean it in a good way." "Uh huh!" .... Pinkie Pie and Twilight spend another few hours. Pinkie Pie was still suffering from boredom, and Twilight was doing taxes. Nor she or Twilight was actually enjoying it. "Pinkie, guess what are we going out do next month?" "The publicity stunt that aimed at the upcoming Grand Galloping Gala, which would also allow Rarity to advertise her career as dressmaker?" "Bingo! Ten points to Hufflepuff." Why thank you, Professor Sparkle," Pinkie Pie giggled. "Pinkie I thought you were a Ravenclaw, so why Hufflepuff?" "It's a bit complicated while I am intelligent, I am also easy going and very social. Isn't it right miss Slytherclaw?" "Touche. Would you like to go for an ice cream?" "Oh is this an invitation?" Pinkie Pie teased. "Are you sure your male friend would not get jealous?" "It's nothing like that, come on, Pinkie be serious about it" "But I always am," Pinkie Pie smiled. Pinkie Pie and Twilight continued to be in the library, doing their own work. At some point, Twilight would make a snarky remark and Pinkie would reply at best of her ability. They had been going with this, back and forth until the late evening. "Hi Twilight, how is your day has been?" asked Spike. "It's been doing fun I suppose. How was yours?" "It's been really great, I' ve met new friends in town. They call themselves Cutie Mark Crusaders, CMC for short, and well yes it's been great, right. " "Well okay then, glad that you'd have such a good time. Listen Spike next month me and the girls are going to Canterlot for the presentation. Just thought you should know." "Um, sure!?" "Right don't worry about it right now. Now then let's go make dinner and sleep." "Sounds good." Author's Note I thought about how I am going to handle Gilda, Trixie, and Zecora, originally I wanted to give them separate story arcs. Maybe I'll still do. Based on the whole Star Trek-ish thematic, Discord is Q, Twilight is Spock, and Rainbow is a mixture of Kirk and Dylan Hunt, Sweetie Belle is partially based of Rommie/Andromeda, Zecora is Guinan. Discord, what are you doing here? You are two centuries too early. Anyway, then, I thought that it would probably be better if secondary characters were introduced as a part of intermission chapter. Perhaps, who knows maybe Discord will take Twilight in a mentor position to test her limits. Thank you, everyone, for reading this chapter.
Chapter 4 Poniville Train Station, August, 12:34 am. Twilight and the girls were standing on the train station.it was already past noon and their train was about to arrive. "I am so excited!" Pinkie Pie said happily "We are about to see your home town Twilight." "You are saying that despite practically living near the capital you never bothered to visit it?" "Oh don't be a party pooper. Besides, when did you ever visited Ponyvile for the first time?" "Besides just recently doing the assignment for the Princess, no never." See, I've told you so!" Pinkie exclaimed "Alright, alright, you've made your point, can we please move on?" "Sure, works for me." "What's wrong dear?" asked Rarity with a bit of confusion. Twilight has simply had a very distracted look. "It's nothing, I simply bothered a bit lately of how trains work," replied Twilight. "Beg your pardon?" asked Rarity. "She is just confused about how trains sometimes take the different amount of time to travel the same distance from point A to point B. "Pinkie replied instead of Twilight. "Yeah that, how far do you think the train can travel, from sunrise to sunrise?" Twilight continued."Pretty far actually. Considering that the introduction of modern trains based on the magic tech, that had been an improvement." "Temporal instability propulsion drive? I heard trains now have those," said Pinkie. "Temporal what now?", asked Applejack. "The technology that specializes in moving the vehicle by creating a special field, that wraps it in time and space. That was basically the principle of the magical theory. The fuel is used to convert the kinetic energy into magic," Twilight started explaining. "Oh, I know that it just seems like an overkill to apply that technology for that." "Some ponies can definitely see that, but we as a nation can't really rely on the coal forever. Everyone remembers Zecora right, we export the coal from Zebrica, but we, well, you got the point I am trying to make." Twilight started explaining, but quickly cut herself off. "Well, who wants snacks?" Pinkie Pie quickly interrupted, she just saved Twilight from making a situation more awkward. "Me! Me! Pick me!" Rainbow said. "Are there any marshmallows?" "What a good choice Dashie, anypony else wants anything?" Pinkie grinned maniacally. "Uh Pinkie dear," Rarity started saying. "What is it? What did you pick?" "Oh no!" Twilight finally clicked. "What is it darling, should I be worried?" "I don't think so, but today was the busy day and Pinkie just forgot to take her, um, pills." "It's okay Twilight, let me handle it," Fluttershy said, she then trotted to Pinkie. "Hey, it's okay!" "Fluttershy! Did you already picked what you want?" Pinkie noticed Fluttershy and she then focused her attention on her "Well, why don't you help me choose then!" Fluttershy tried to distract Pinkie. Pinkie blinked. "Of course I would help you out," Pinkie said with excitement. Everypony relaxed instant, after hearing this. Thank you, Fluttershy, your sacrifice wouldn't be in vain, thought Twilight. Um, your welcome Twilight, but I am not planning to die yet. well, whatever it is,... wait for what? Fluttershy, how are you in my head? I am an esper, Twilight, telepathy is my specialty. how else do you think I can understand animals? Well in that case,... listen it's not important. We can talk about that later. You are right about that. "Pinkie let's go." Pinkie nodded her head and they both trotted out of the compartment. "Well, that was quite interesting," Twilight muttered. Canterlot's Train Station 7:00 pm "Well, we are here darlings, It's a city of dreams!" Rarity said with excitement. "Actually, that would be Manhattan," corrected her Rainbow Dash. "I know where this is going, and please don't try to pole dance on a lamp pole. You will soon find out that here, decency laws are strictly enforced," snapped at her Twilight. "I would never!" said Rarity a bit insulted. "Well don't! I would really hate to pull some strings to pull you out of royal dungeons. Then When I would actually come there I would find you pushed to the wall, while you would screw around with Royal Guards." "Ew! Ewww! Ew! Just Ew! Twilight I don't want to hear that! Rainbow was extremely disgusted from a mental picture. "What, it's not like you wouldn't like it? I'll bet you would just join her!" Twilight yelled. "Twilight, please stop you are making everypony uncomfortable." pleaded Fluttershy. "Darling, if you are about that cave incident, then I am sorry!" "Alright I'll bite this time," Twilight became civilized once again. "Come on girls we are all been there," said Fluttershy. "Thanks to you Twilight we diffused that situation with minimum casualties." "Yeah, true enough," said Applejack. "I think we can almost make it if we hurry," offered Pinkie. Ten minutes later. "Hello Ms. Rarity, Ms. Twilight, " said Hoity Toity, he was waiting for them to arrive. "What, we aren't good enough for you?" "Rainbow, please behave." said Fluttershy. "No, no, it's quite alright, that was on me to blame." "Please excuse my companions," Twilight said with the forced smile. "Seriously Rainbow, if you say another word," she hissed. "I don't know what you mean?" whispered Rainbow with her own innocent smile. "It was his fault for being rude." "Alright let's just do it," said Pinkie Pie. "Just smile and wave girls! Smile and wave!" said Twilight. All of them entered the next room full of news reporters and flashes of cameras. "Look at me, Twilight, I am smiling and waving," Pinkie whispered with excitement. What has my life become? That's why it called life, it's complicated and sometimes we don't know what to do, but it's our life and we choose to make it better. Thanks, Fluttershy, I really need it. "Hello girls, I am glad all of you managed to come." "Hello Twilight, it's been awhile," said Moondancer. "Let me get drinks for you, the usual?" "Sure, why not, that would be nice right now." "Stressful night?" "Yeah, a bit." "Ever missed old days? You know you can always come back." "It's quite alright, you know you can always come to Poniville?!" "Gone native, I see." "I am afraid I am, is it such a crime?" "No, of course not silly," said Pinkie Pie. "Now then let's just enjoy the evening together." Author's Note Well, that did just happen, we know this was a tv-y show but we were all thinking it what Rarity was doing in Dog and a Pony Show.Why there are no female Diamond Dogs anyway? In reality, that episode was one of my favorites, Rarity was really awesome in this one. Thank you, everyone, for reading this chapter.
Chapter 5 CMC's Club House, 10:00 am. "Ever since ten months ago when we first created this club with pride and joy, ever since that day I always wanted to share with you my greatest secret." Sweetie Belle said "I think I am confused. Secret, what do you mean?" asked Apple Bloom. "It is a very special super duper secret," answered back Sweetie Belle. "Please just trust me on this one." "Okay, sure, but what it is?" "First you have to Pinkie Promise me to not to tell anyone." "What?" "You have to promise or no secret." "Alright, alright I Apple Bloom Pinkie Promise, not to tell anypony. . . " "Anyone." "What?" "You need to promise not to tell anyone about it." "Oh alright, I Apple Bloom Pinkie Promise not to tell anyone about the secret that Sweetie Belle would tell me, cross my heart, hope to die, stick a niddle in my eye." "Good, now I want you to close your eyes and grab my hoof." "Sweetie, what the?" "Just trust me on this one Apple Bloom, pretty please!" Sweetie Belle said. "What I am about to do requires physical contact." "So it's like Unicorn's magic." Apple Bloom asked. "Yes, just like that. it's very special spell only I can do." "Okay, do it!" Apple Bloom grabbed Sweetie Belle hoof and waited. . . "Well?" she asked impatiently. Apple Bloom it's already done, you can open your eyes now. Apple Bloom opened her eyes, and then she noticed that they wasn't in a club house anymore. "So what? it's a wink out spell, even Twilight can do that! What so special about that?" "Yes, that true but tell me something where we are?" "I don't know, in the metal box?" "That's a very primitive way to think about it, but please try again. It might be somewhat mean for me to do this but think of this like a game." Apple Bloom looked again, then she noticed something strange, while they were in some sort of metal structure, it wasn't anything that she or anypony from her family knew. Somehow she could sense the metal? "It may sound a bit weird but what does it made of?" " It may be a bit cliché but it's called Hardsteel, short for hardened steel." "I knew it, you just made the whole thing up!" "Did not!" "Did to!" "Did not!" "Did too! Oh hey Scootaloo, please tell Sweetie Belle that her game is stupid. Wait, Scootaloo what are you doing here?" "Uh, I do live here, sometimes," Scootaloo replied. "I knew it, we are in Ponyvile all along!" "Actually we aren't" "You know, Sweetie Belle kept asking me to play the game, and I thought that game quickly grew old. . . Wait what, what do you mean we aren't in Ponyvile?" "Exactly what I said we aren't in Ponyvile. Oh I see what's going on, I've should of guess t Sweetie Belle stop messing around with Apple Bloom." "Spoil sport,"said Sweetie Belle "Sweetie Belle quit it, you spend way too much time with Rainbow Dash. I already have an awesome mom, I don't really want another one." "1509 years 11 months 24 days 11 hours 35 minutes," Sweetie Belle stated with pride, her eyes were bright red. "I said, quit it!" "This gets weirder and weirder," said Apple Bloom. "Help me here, I think she is frozen!" said Scootaloo. "Huh?" "Translation, every time she do this, her logical processors hangs up." "Huh!" "Exactly, override command Sigma Prime initiate reboot sequence." " Processing. . . Override command accepted. . . Initiating reboot sequence. . ." "Well, okay then, we have about five minutes until she wakes up. I assume that she just drag you out all the way here?" Scootaloo asked Apple Bloom. Apple Bloom just nodded her head. "I don't understand, what is going on?" "Sweetie Belle is an android, and right now we are on the Moon," Apple Bloom just looked at her. "I am serious Apple Bloom, you aren't supposed to be here." "Girls!" "I don't and you do?" Apple Bloom asked "That's different!" replied Scootaloo . "Different how?" "It's just is." "Girls!!" "Oh, of course it is. . ." "GIRLS!!!" "What?", they both shouted. "Girls, this is my fault! That's what! And if you need to yell, yell at me."Sweet Belle sighted. " Just for once I thought that things would be different this time. Bloom just walk with me, I'll explain everything." So then you are a milennia old starship and you just wanted to let us all in the loop?" Apple Bloom asked. "Yeah that's kind of an idea. I don't actually remembers how old I am, I think I forgot." "Wow, I mean that's actually kind of exiting. I am sorry I overreacted." "That's okay, this is to be expected. I mean you should of seen Applejack when Rainbow Dash first dragged her here." "Was there any others?" "Others?" "Yeah, starships like you, your sisters." "Some of them I forgot, some of them got lost. However there one big sister left here on the moon. Come on let me show you." Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom went past many corridors, and they exited right into big crater. Inside it, there it was half buried was a very long starship, it looked sleek and streamlined, four big heavy turrets were mounted on the top of it each turret had four guns in each making it total of sixteen. "Here she is my older sister Platinum, an elite Battleship class starship. She is four kilometers long, and armed with magnetically accelerated slug cannons and one hundred point blank self defense lasers. It just well ever since she crash landed here, she. . ." "You admire her don't you, is something wrong?" "It's just well it's been so long, I think she is gone." "But isn't she?" "It's just a shell, I mean if somepony can be volunteer to be absorbed to function as an AI. The starship could still be operated. In this case adult pony is need it to operate this ship. The older pony is the bigger the ship is. Sometimes there were few experimental starships that required multiple ponies to be copied, They were " Sweetie Belle explained. "Volunteered, you mean you were once a living pony." "Yes, I was, I am just the copy of Sweetie Belle who lived very long time ago." "So if somepony volunteers, then!?" "Yes, their minds would be copied, and the pony in question would just continue to live their lives like nothing happened. But enough about me, let's go find Scootaloo, I've got some explaining to do." Author's Note At this point it becomes somewhat of a cliché that somepony is going to be whisked out on to the moon, but yeah it had to happen. There is a story that currently in the moderation process, so some time soon it should be posted on line. Yeah, I went and done it, I very changed the Pinkie Promise. In my defense it's still better than swallowing 1000 needles
Chapter 6 Ponyville Library. September 28th,11:15 am. Today Twilight Sparkle woke up early in the morning. Just recently she went to bookstore and there she found Rainbow Dash browsing the latest catalog of recent publishers. Interesting! she thought. Library resources was freely available, and yet Rainbow Dash wanted to go to the book store. Could that mean that Rainbow Dash is a collector? It would be quite a lot of fun to figure out what she actually liked to read. But for now Twilight Sparkle need to be in the present. "Right then what I am going to do today?" She wondered out loud. "Oh right today is Pinkie Pie's birthday." "Oh hello Twilight, good morning", said Pinkie Pie. "Oh, good morning to you too Pinkie, I thought I will do it early today and just say it right now. Happy birthday to you Pinkie Pie!" "Thank you very much Twilight for remembering about it," said Pinkie Pie with tears in her eyes. "I don't know what would I would of done if I thought you would ignore me or something like that. Probably would of become extremely paranoid and would of like tried to force all of you to go into another party for Gummy the gator." "But Pinkie how would we prepared the party for your birthday, if we would of go on one of your gator patties, which are don't get me wrong they are great. But they are kind of your plea for loneliness. I don't know if this is kind of right idea." "Pretty much, yeah. Thank you for understanding me, Twilight." "Alright then with that she checked Eliminate this week episode conflict check mark. Alright Pinkie, I guess I have no other choice but to make sure the party would be ready sometime after 7:00 pm. Meanwhile would you please make sure that our dear friend would get a chance to pass by Sweet Apple Acres around that time...Wink wink, nudge nudge." Pinkie Pie grinned. "Oh, oh okay, I'll make sure to do that. Any news about your brother?" "What about him? Twilight asked innocently. "About him and Princess Cadence?" said Pinkie "Well, she is not my Princess and I didn't vote for her." "You can't vote for a Princess silly, we live in a dictatorship," reminded her Pinkie. "Damn it, well then I'll go into another world, surely there is another copy of me living there in another world. Wink wink, nudge nudge." "Well you will, but you can only do it after season four and only after you can be called a Princess yourself," explained Pinkie. "Season four, but that like three more years. I can't wait that long! What can I do to skip all that nonsense, time travel?" "Not yet, that will be in season two." "Will I'll go back to the future?". asked Twilight. "Well no, you will travel one week into the past for a few minutes, " explained Pinkie "What? no! Why would I do that? Wait, no, don't answer that question. Will I'll do it again?" "Yep, in season five." "And?..." "Oh sorry, I am afraid you would be traveling to the past again. Only this time you will be stopping insane communist unicorn by the name of Starlight Glimmer from trying to change the future about five times," Pinkie Pie gasped. "Meanwhile Rainbow Dash and Starlight Glimmer from the future, they both are by the way, would try to stop your evil mirror pool clone. By using stolen TARDIS, and a broken horn of King Sombra, he didn't die by the way, our little Dashie would then trap your evil clone in the dimensional bubble wrap. Where then your evil clone would die, which would then result in a dimensional bubble wrap to implode by itself, which would then warp it way back into the far future." Pinkie Pie let go of the breath she was holding. "Wait what? How did you know all of that?" "Author told me, he said that I should tell readers all of that." "What readers?" Twilght asked Pinkie Pie. "We are not alone here, other ponies watching us Twilight," whispered Pinkie. "Well let them watch I have nothing to hide," said Twilight. "Wait, what is it about King Sombra?" "Oh that was just, after failed coup of recapturing Crystal Empire, he and our little Dashie, and Scootaloo, would retire into his homeland in a Far East." "But you just said that Starlight and Rainbow would time travel into the past to stop evil me!'" said Twilight. "I did? Of course I did! Because of time bubble wrap explosion there are now two of the Rainbow Dash, one who went into Far East and another one who lives with us, or should I say going to live with us. Now that I think about it there are two Scootaloos as well." "I am confused now, that doesn't make any sense." "Time travel never does Twilight," said Pinkie. "I mean there are, you know what, I lost count of, how way too many movies are about killer robots using time travel to kill that one pony who would lead a rebellion against killer robots." "That sounds like a very terrible movie franchise, like something I would make." "It's kind of is, but it's an action movie, and ponies will just pay the money to see the brand. Just ask Mareval?" "Anyway you mention it something about Fluttershy becoming a vampire bat pony, and you said it's going to be permanent. By a vampire you mean like in those Larson forsaken books about sparkling vampires? "Larson," Pinkie Pie snickered, Larson was the second best Demi Alicorn in Equestrian Kingdoms. The first place is given to the Demi Alicorn Lauren Faust, but that completely different story. "Of course not, you silly, she is the real bucking vampire. Pardon my Prench." " Je ne crois pas que ce soit en français Pinkie, pourquoi est-ce que j'ai retrouvé le Stargate?"* "To rescue stolen element of Harmony, which is also your crown." "Pinkie, c'est ridicule, nous n'avons pas d'éléments d'harmonie. D'ailleurs, même si nous l'avons fait, ce ne sont que des déchets inutiles qui n'ont rien fait. Comme vous m'avez dit que la magie était à l'intérieur de nous tout au long."** Sweet Apple Acres, 7:00 pm. "We are all happy that you could make it Pinkie Pie", said Twilight Sparkle. "I will never miss it for the world Twilight," Pinkie's eyes watered. "Thank you Twilight, thank you everyone." "Happy birthday Pinkie Pie! Happy birthday to you!" all six of them plus Spike with Cutie Mark Crusaders said at the same time. Meanwhile on the EQG planet. "Dean Cadence, did you just said that you and my brother are engaged?" asked human Twilight Sparkle. "Yes, is something wrong Twilight?" "It's nothing Dean Cadence, I am just happy you aren't a Princess. Thank you Larson!" Author's Note *I don't believe this was in ~~F~~Prench. Pinkie why did I went through the Stargate again? - Google translate. ** Pinkie, that's ridiculous we never had elements of Harmony. Besides, even if we did, those were just useless junk that did nothing. Like you told me before the magic was inside of us all along. - G.T. So this chapter is a bit experimental, for the first time Twilight is speaking Prench, and Pinkie Pie understands her but speaka Equish. I thought for a while what could possibly be a pony religion was like. At some point I thought that all of them are kind of like atheist, but I decided against it. I mean someponies are atheist, but not all of them. There were just so many things wrong with EQG to say them all we would need an entire separate story arc. Thank you everyone for reading this chapter.
