Princess Amity
Chapter V
Previous ChapterFour weeks later, Celestia in bedroom is combing her hair then hears a knock on her. She places the comb down and opens the door to find a unicorn assistant who greets her, "Good morning, Your Ma..."
“Shh,” the princess interrupts. She waves the assistant to enter her room inside, and when steps in, Celestia explains, "You'll wake up Amity. Her room is close to mine. Now, we can't let her know about this. Okay? Tell all of the guards, maids, chefs, and any pony else you can get to not let her go into the dining room." Her assistant nods and listens carefully.
In Amity's room, the pink princess is fast asleep making faint snores while her wrinkled sheets cover her waist. She is dreaming walking down the streets of Canterlot with her friends, and they are wearing highly expensive clothing, jewelry, and other accessories. They are suddenly halted by three tall, muscular, handsome stallions who give the three teens flirtatious smiles, and instantly the three girls' eyes grow massively large with sparkles in their pupils and jaws hit the concrete floor. Amity looks at her friends who each have taken a stallion to small house that spontaneously appears. Excited, she turns looks at the last stallion, but instead of him, a slightly taller dark blue female alicorn with a long flowing sparkling blue mane and tail stands before her.
"You're lucky I'm can’t tell your mom about this," the alicorn says to the pink princess. Conufsed, Amity looks at the alicorn. "Why, Amity, don't you remember me?"
Amity observes her carefully, "Aunt Luna?"
The alicorn nods her head, and Amity smiles hugs her tightly. "How is this possible?" Amity asks excitingly.
Luna in a gentle voice answers, "When...'She'... raised my moon ther other night, ‘She’ used an ancient spell to contact my alter ego Nightmare Moon spiritually instead of physically. Long story short, ‘She’ granted Nightmare Moon one night to talk to you in your last dream before you wake up, but Nightmare felt that it would be better for me to see you."
"Wait," Amity asks, "this is all a dream?"
"Yes, my dear," Luna answers. "Even if this is a dream, it is still wonderful to see you again. Spin around. Let me get a good look at you." Amity in place spins and extends her wings. "Beautiful. Simply beautiful." Luna states.
“Hey I thought of another question,” Amity questions, “you said Nightmare felt you should be here. She cares about me?”
Luna nods, "Yes. I and Nightmare Moon may hate your mother, but you are innocent in both of our eyes. There’s no reason to hate you. I and even Nightmare Moon love you. Tell me, how do you feel about this surprise?"
Amity with a joyous expression answers, "This is...unbelievable! I missed you so much. I wish this was real."
"Don't fret. One day we will be together again. Please be patience." Then, the environment slowly starts turning black. “Looks like our time is over."
"No," Amity replies. "Please no. You just got here."
Luna explains, "'She' fears that if I have too much freedom, Nightmare Moon will somehow escape. I’m sorry."
Amity hugs her aunt again and asks, "Before you go. Answer this, do you love Mom?" Luna stays quiet and hugs her niece tightly. The young alicorn then sits up and looks to see that she is back in her room, and she smiles and cross her arms. Then, she whispers, “Goodbye, Aunt Luna.”
Several hours later, Amity wearing a graduation gown with a graduation cap and stands behind some curtains of a theater stage. Other ponies wearing the same clothing as her have just walked across the stage individually, received their diplomas from the principal, thanked the vice principal, bowed to Princess Celestia, and walked off stage. Amity awaits for her name to be called and repeat the same process, but the principal hands the last diploma to Celestia who holds it in her magic.
Amity thinks, "Uh-oh. What's happening?"
"And now," Celestia addresses the crowd, "the last graduate of this senior class is the first alicorn to graduate high school in years, my daughter, the future of Equestria, Princess Amity!" The crowd spontaneously springs up and cheers extremely loud.
Amity with blushes dominating her face making it a dark pink shade walks up on stage towards her mother, and Celestia with the diploma in held in her aurora hands it to Amity who receives using her magic. The two hug on stage, and as soon as they hug, Amity without moving her lips whispers in her mom's ear, "Don't ever do this again! It's so embarrassing!"
Celestia smiles and without moving her lips responds, "Sorry that I didn’t tell you earlier but not sorry because it’s hilarious to see you like this." She then breaks the hug and sees Amity with a big smile on her face with the inner part of her eyebrows curved down. She simply smirks at her daughter, and the graduate walks off stage.
About thirty minutes after the ceremony ended, Amity celebrates with friends and fellow graduates then later returns the gown and cap to the school staff. The princess with Evening and Vanilla leave school ground and find Celestia waiting for them with two carriages each being pulled by pegasus guards. "Congratulations, girls. I’m so proud of all of you." Evening and Vanilla bow their heads before her and then raises them. "Evening and Vanilla, would you two like to come to the castle to celebrate? Don't worry. I already asked your parents, and they said yes."
The friends stare at each other then at Amity who is nodding her head frantically. The two friends, "Yes ma'am!"
Celestia responds, "Excellent! You both can ride with Amity on her royal carriage. As soon as we arrive at the castle, just follow me." Celestia walks and climbs on one carriage while Amity and her friends climb on the other, and the guards pull the carriages with ease and take off into the air.
As they head towards the castle, Amity's friends look at the breath taking scenery below them making Amity chuckle then says, "I know. It's...so..."
Then, the three graduates say simultaneously, "Awesome! Whoa, we said it at the same time! Cool!"
Later, the ponies arrive at the castle, and the trio of friends step off the carriage and follow Celestia who has already entered the castle. They catch up to the princess, and Celestia takes them through the main hall and into the dining room where a long undecorated table is set up.
"Please take a seat," Celestia asks the group of friends as she sits at the table herself.
They awkwardly sit for a minute until a unicorn butler enters the room, walks to Celestia, bows his head, and asks the princess, "Is this the entire group, Your Majesty?" Celestia nods her head, and the servant replies, "Very well." He leaves the room politely without saying another word. Suddenly, a large number of maids, butlers, and chefs barge in giving all four ponies napkins, glass cups, and golden plates in front of them. Carts then barge in supplied with salads, steamed carrots, five star soups, and various other freshly made foods and dishes.
Celestia looks at Amity's friends who have excited faces and asks, "Surprised?"
"Yes, ma'am," Evening answers.
"Thank you so much, Your Highness," Vanilla also answers.
Celestia chuckles and looks at Amity who has a smile and asks, "Well, Amity? Are you surprised?"
"Kind of," Amity responds, "but you do this all the time." Celestia simply shrugs.
The four ponies eat dinner and stuff themselves up but perhaps too much that Celestia had to up the dessert on hold for a while. Evening is rubbing her stomach as if she is pregnant, Vanilla has slow blinking her eyes and not speaking much, and Amity lick her lips and sighs in relief. After five minutes, ithe trio call for the sweets and receive a massive marble cake with vanilla and strawberry flavors and chocolate icing covering it. Celestia licks her lips excited for the cake, but the three friends look at each other with concerned faces.
Some time after, the ponies leave the dining room with the trio going to Amitys room and Celestia exiting the castle to lower the sun and raise the moon. The trio of friends in the room lay on the bed beside each other moaning.
“Too...much...food,” Vanilla moans.
“Your mom sure loves cake,” Evening says to Amity. “If I took one more bite, it would have came out right there.”
Amity chuckles then groans, “It hurts to laugh.” She then hears knocks on her balcony doors and sees her mother, and the pink alicorn struggles to stand up and clumsingly walks to Celestia. She steps onto the balcony and stares at the beautiful moon.
"Beautiful, isn't it?" Celestia asks.
Amity whispers, "Yeah."
“How are they?”
“You gave us too much food.”
Celestia smirks, "Hey, since your friends have plans with their families this summer, do you want to go to The Orange Beach this summer?"
Her daughter darts her head at her mother and responds excitedly, "Yeah. I would love that."
"Wonderful but..." Celestia replies, "I have royal duties throughout Equestria for two weeks. Once I finish, we'll go, but you have to do something until then."
"What?" Amity asks.
Celestia answrs, "Go to Ponyville and learn from Miss Remedy. She is a behavior a master in magic, fighting specialist, and a reliable friend. I sent her a letter asking if she could to take you in and give you some training that I can’t teach you in magic and fighting."
"Why do you want me to learn how to fight?" Amity confusingly asks.
"Remember what happened weeks ago," Celestia explains. "We haven’t found DIablo, and I fear he may appear later on and cause trouble. I want you to be safe. Understand?”
Amity nods and says, "Yeah, sure. So, when will I go?"
Celestia answers, "In two days. Now, have fun with your friends and enjoy the night.” Her daughter enters the room then is jumped on by her friends. Celestia can hear the girls having fun but turns to look over the horizon with a stern expression. “Something very bad is about to happen. Remedy, protect my daughter please.”
Meanwhile at a small town in the desert, Diablo walks into a small building and is greeted by a mare. “How do you do sir? Welcome to Dodge Junction Apartments where we work hard so you can sleep. How many will there be?”
“Howdy there, it will be just me darlin’,” the gray colt answers. “But before I get myself a room, how about you let Good Ol’ Diablo have a room for free?”
“Sorry sir, I am afraid I can’t do that,” the pony states.
Diablo gives a devious smile, “Oh come on girl.” He then stares into her eyes as his colors in his eyes circle around. He then says, “you want me to give me a free room.”
“I want to give you a free room,” the mare in a bland tone of voice and bland eyes says.
“Good girl. Now, show me my room.” The mare leads him to a vacant room and opens the door for Diablo. “Not bad. Not bad at all.” He turns back to the mare who is standing at the door, and he looks over her. “Now...for you...” The mare enters his room while he watches with his hellacious smile and licking his lips. He suddenly gasps. “Oh come on Ma! SHe’s right here!” He pauses. “Fine. Go back to your job.” The mare exists the room and closes the door. Diablo turns to a window and look at some mountains nearby. “I’ll be there in two days.”
