Justice Done

Princess Celestia, and Princess Luna went outside , and Twilight, and I followed them with twilight wearing her saddlebags.

"Are you certain that this is how you wish to proceed in this matter?" Celestia asked turning to me.

"Yes, I am," I said with a nod. "No more running from my problems."

"Very well. Then we shall," replied Celestia, boarding the Royal Chariot. Luna, Twilight, and I joined her, and the team of Pegasai who had brought the Chariot there from Canterlot sometime before Celelstia had raised the sun, flapped their wings, and began running to be able to gain altitude. It didn't take long before we were airborne, and on our way to Cloudsdale.

"It's a lot different," I said.

"Hmm?" Luna asked.

"When you have wings, and can fly, but are doing so without actually flapping your wings."

"Haven't you ever ridden in a chariot, or carriage before?" asked Luna.

I shook my head.

"Not even when I was a really little foal."

"I can understand why this would seem strange to you then," Luna said.

"Don't worry," I said grinning like an idiot. "I'll try not to get too airsick."

"I would rather not have to have the Royal Chariot cleaned, if you don't mind." said Celestia.

"I won't puke, though this whole situation that I'm in makes me want to."

"What do you mean?" Twilight asked.

"The fact that my family did what they did to me. It's disgusting, sick, and wrong. I'm not mad at them, just saddened, and disappointed in them for doing something so cruel to a member of their own family."

Twilight draped a wing over me, a gave me a comforting hug.

"I guess that I'm also ashamed of myself for denying the truth for so long that they were right about me."

"Nimble," said Celestia softly, calling me by my birth name. "I can't tell you how many times that I had those same thoughts after Luna was consumed by Nightmare Moon. I felt like I hadn't done enough to help her. Later after her return to normal, thanks to Twilight, and the other Element Bearers, I realized that I had been foolish to think that way, because I had done all that I could."

"And I felt the same way you do now after the nightmare had been purged from me by the Elements," added Luna. "Yes, I was ashamed of what I had done. But I had been under the influence of a malevolent entity. So I was not to blame, though I did often berate, and belittle myself for it for a long time after anyway."

"Don't worry," Twilight said. "Things will work out fine."

"I hope your right."

It was another hour, and a half before Cloudsdale came into view.

"My parents will probably be working at the weather factory right now, so it would be best to go there."

Celestia nodded, and gave the order to the team pulling the chariot.

"Take us to the weather factory."

The Pegasai pulling the chariot immediately obeyed, and took us to where we wanted to go.

Twilight, and I disembarked, followed by Princess Luna, and lastly Princess Celestia.

"Wait here for us," she commanded, and the Pegasai all saluted.

Celestia, Luna, Twilight, and I went in through the front doors, and the employees who saw us walk in all bowed.

"Wh-What can I do your you, Your Highnesses?" asked the black furred yellow maned yellow tailed Pegasus mare receptionist who had a picture of what appeared to be a scroll, and a quill pen on her flank

"We must speak with Cloud Kicker, and Featherwing immediately," Luna said.

"Of course. I will get them for you," said the receptionist.

"We will also require the use of the conference room," said Celestia.

"I'll be right back to show you the way," the receptionist said going through a set of nearby double doors.

Ten minutes minutes went by, and soon she returned.

"Follow me, please." The receptionist said. We all followed her, and she led us to the conference room, which was on the top floor, and over looked the factory. supposed that it would have to, so the bosses cold make sure that the employees aren't just sitting, or standing around, and not working.

"Can I get you anything?" she finally asked.

"No, we'll be fine. Thank you," Celestia told her.

The receptionist bowed, and quickly left, closing the double doors behind her

"Did you bring the R.O., Princess?" I asked Celestia.

She just smiled, and nodded toward Twilight.

"Ah," I replied. "So that's why you have your saddlebags, Twilight."

"Yes, though I hope the restraining order won't have to be used," said Twilight. "That's why I'm here, to show your parents the magic of friendship, and to help them to remember the good times together that you'd once had as a family."

We didn't have to wait long before a nervous knock came at the door. Twilight went to open it, and when she did, my parents, Cloud Kicker, and Featherwing were standing there. They hadn't changed much since I'd last saw them. Their white pelts were still pristine, and their manes were just as I remember. My mother Featherwing had a light pink mane, and tail just like my sister Arabesque,and my father Cloud Kicker had a blue mane, and tail like mine. Upon seeing the three Alicorn Princesses, they bowed.

What can we do for you, Your Highnesses?" they asked standing up again.

That was when they saw me.

"What is that...that thing doing here?" asked my father.

Celestia sighed sadly, and shook her head, closing her eyes.

"Please come in," Celestia told them, as twilight stepped to the side to allow the two Pegasai entry. They stood, and stepped into the room, and once they were inside, Twilight shut the door again.

"I was afraid that you would react in such a manner to Nimble's presence. I had thought that you could act civilized for once in your lives, rather than exhibiting such boorish behavior, and being an embarrassment to the Pegasus race, as well as to Ponies in general, so I have prepared prepared this."

She turned to Twilight who pulled a rolled up scroll from one of her saddlebags with her magic, and gave it to Celestia. The white Alicorn broke the wax seal, and unrolled the scroll. using her magic to make a pair of reading glasses appear on her face, she cleared her throat, and began to read it aloud her own royal Canterlot voice.

"ON THIS DAY, THE SEVENTEENTH OF MAY IN THE YEAR OF SOLARIS, WE PRINCESS CELESTIA CO-RULER OF EQUESTRIA, AND BRINGER OF THE DAYLIGHT, PRINCESS LUNA CO-RULER OF EQUESTRIA, BRINGER OF THE NIGHT, AND GUARDIAN OF DREAMS, AND PRINCESS TWILIGHT SPARKLE , PRINCESS OF FRIENDSHIP, AND BEARER OF THE ELEMENT OF MAGIC HEREBY DECREE THAT CLOUD KICKER, AND HIS WIFE FEATHERWING ARE TO REMAIN AT LEAST FIVE HUNDRED YARDS FROM THEIR SON, NIMBLE HOOVES, ALIAS SIX STRING AT ALL TIMES!!!! WE ALSO DECREE THAT ANY VIOLATION OF ANY KIND OF THIS RESTRAINING ORDER WILL RESULT IN PUNISHMENT MOST SEVERE!!!!"

My parents... no, Cloud Kicker, and Featherwing stood there, as Celestia used her magic to give the restraining order to them.

"Why would we ever want to get close to that piece of manure?" asked Cloud Kicker

"This is Madness!" Featherwing exclaimed. "Princess Luna, Princess Twilight, please tell me that you're not agreeing to this!"

"WE CONCUR!!!" Luna, and Twilight said in unison, using their own Royal Canterlot voices, their eyes both glowing bright white.

"You are dismissed from our sight!" said Celestia.

Cloud Kicker, and Featherwing bowed again, opened the door, and left the room. After they left, I collapsed to the floor, and began to sob. Instantly, the three Alicorns surrounded me, and wrapped their wings around me to comfort me. I felt a magical aura around my body, and went limp, because even though it wasn't quite mid day yet, I had no energy left in me, and wouldn't have been able to walk, or even fly if I wanted to. Twilight's magic held me until the four of us got back out to the Royal Chariot again. Then the magic dissipated.

"Why didn't you try to remind them of the good times they, and I had had together as a family, Twilight?" I asked, once we were airborne again.

"Because I could see it in their eyes from the moment that they walked in, that it wouldn't have done any good, because they wouldn't have listened anyway," she told me. "I'm so sorry, Nimble."

"I'm the one who should be apologizing. If I'd just never been born, Equis would be a better place."

"I know for a fact that you don't believe that and that you know that Twilight, Luna, and I don't either." said Celestia

"Indeed. Everypony has a purpose in life, even when things seem to be at their bleakest, and as though the pony does not. You have done nothing wrong, and therefore should never have to apologize for being who, and what you were always meant to be. Because it had already been decided for you long before even your ancestor, the first Pegasus was created." Luna added.

"I'll need to pull my flight status with the Wonderbolt Reserves, launder, and return my uniforms, and empty out my locker."

"That won't be necessary. The Wonderbolt Academy, and the cloud arena, are still in Cloudsdale, but are far enough from their home and the weather factory that it won't violate the order." Celestia said.

"Well, I'm sorry anyway for pulling you into this drama. I'm sure you all had better, and more important things to do."

"Not really," said Twilight.

"Besides," Luna said smiling at me, as Twilight wiped away my tears with small cloth she had pulled from her saddle bags. "You're our friend."
