The Demon At The End Of Ponyville

It was the day of Twilight's baptism she was looking at her white baptismal dress as she was preparing for her baptism, she was to meet Amy at the church who would get into the baptismal pool with her instead of standing outside, all of their friends of coarse were going to be there.

Twilight had some time before she needed to go to the place yet. It was an indoor pool that was set a few years ago. She decided to start getting ready for the day by combing her hair, she needed to get her hair straight and smooth for the baptism. She wished she had Rarity'a help but she was already at the pool with her other family and friends along with some of the media.

She was a bit nervous, she was okay with crowds but the problem was is that she had never gotten baptized before so she was afraid she would screw something up. She got out all of the knots in her hair. She combed out all of the knots that were in her hair as she smoothed her hair out.

She worked as best as she could, she hated doing her hair, it was always a pain, she didn't want any knots in her hair or it would make her feel awkward, she combed through her hair as much as she could so she can get all of the knots out. She kept doing her hair.

Soon she started to finish up her hair as she combed a couple more areas in her hair as all of her knots unfurled, she hated doing her hair as it hurt sometimes as well, she soon finished up doing her hair so she checked her hair and felt that it was all untangled.

Twilight took a shower as she washed herself clean, she didn't want to spend to much time in the shower or she would be late, Twilight scrubbed herself clean and then she turned off the shower and got out, she cried herself off really well and then she got her undergarments on and looked at her baptismal dress and then she put it on.

She inspected herself in the mirror and saw that she looked really nice so she got her dress heels on and ate a quick breakfast and brushed her teeth, she then headed on out. When she got outside she walked towards the church. She didn't want to waist any time.

Twilight felt nervous heading there, she wondered if she really could go through this commitment, she wondered if there was a chance she could delay this in order to think about her decision but she brushed that thought away she knew that she needed this. Twilight continued to walk to the church.

She soon got inside the church and when she got inside she saw a lot of people that she knew including her friends and even the royal sisters, She saw Amy approach her. She remembered that Amy would be baptizing her.

"I will be waiting by the pool Twilight, you can do this its a fairly easy but important event, you can do this Twilight." Amy told her. Twilight decided to voice her feelings that she had right at that moment.

"I'm nervous, what if I fall or say something dumb? I know I don't have to say much but what if I end up falling?" Twilight asked her as she voiced her fears. Amy shook her head.

"Nothing like that is going to happen. I will be waiting for you in the front I will be seated to the left, just sit in the front and wait for the time we baptize you. We will tell you when, An associate pastor will be doing the service.

"Thanks...I know I didn't need to do this but I brought my study bible to follow along to the sermon, is that okay or..." Twilight asked.

"Of coarse it is. Go inside because we are starting soon." Amy said. Amy went on to say to say a few more words to her and then Twilight hugged her and went inside and saw her friends and she waved to them and they all smiled at her, Pinkie Pie tried to make sure not to shout out in excitement like she always did at something that Twilight was involved in.

Twilight walked to the front and saw that Shining Amour was there, she sat by him before someone else could take the spot, Shining Armor laughed quietly and hugged her. They both spoke to eachother for a bit and then turned their attention to the service.

When they sung along to the hymns Twilight sung along as well and after a bit of singing they sat down and the pastor read out the sermon. That day's sermon was about how Jesus's death and resurrection led to believers being able to get baptized to get saved.

But after the sermon went on for a few minutes it took a slight turn into how you can't just get a baptism and be saved but you also had to try and live a good kind life and try to be kind to others and observe what Jesus did and follow God.

Twilight knew that this message was mostly meant for her, she knew that whenever she sinned she could always pray for forgiveness and she was grateful Jesus had died for her in order for her to have that right to do that.

The sermon was directly speaking to her but she knew that it was probably meant for everybody else as well, Twilight decided that after she was baptized she was going to try and study her bible each day.

After the sermon, Amy said a few words about baptism and invited Twilight to come on up the front, Twilight looked around at her friends people who were watching her, Applejack motioned her to go up there.

"Twilight it's time!" Rarity whispered over to her, Shining Amour nodded as he said a few words of encouragement to her, Twilight went to the front as she started to have numerous thoughts in her head. She knew that their was no going back now but if she said that she didn't accept Christ as her savior then that would mess things up for Amy and herself as that would mean she would be rejecting Christ.

She knew that she accepted Christ as her savior so she needed to say yes, she didn't want to say no, Amy said a few words and they both entered the pool, Twilight knew that it was time, she was hesitant a bit but she decided to move forward anyway even if she was a bit on edge. Amy stood right beside her and Amy turned and spoke to her.

"Twilight Sparkle, Do you trust Jesus Christ for the forgiveness in your sins and the promise of eternal life? Do you accept him as your savior?" Amy asked her, Twilight became silent for a few seconds because of nervousness but answered.

"Yes I do. I promise." Twilight confirmed, she knew that here was no going back now, she knew that she had follow these promises, Amy spoke to her again.

"Do you forsake Satan and all of his evil works?" Amy asked, Twilight immediately answered as she did not want to be associated with Satan in anyway even if she was a bit nervous.

"Yes I do." Twilight answered in the same way as before, She looked up at Amy and then back at the pool, she took a quick look at the audience and saw them witnessing the event. She looked back at Amy as she delivered the last question.

"Do you intend with God's help to obey Jesus's teaching and follow him as your lord?" Amy asked. Twilight was slow to answer but quickly responded after that.

"Yes I promise that I will." Twilight said as she decided to give a longer answer, she knew that she could have just said yes but she wanted to let her friends and family know that she was serious about this. Twilight knew that this was it. Amy smiled as she said one last thing.

"On the profession on your faith in Jesus Christ as your lord and savior and in obedience in his command, I now baptize you in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit." Amy Said, Twilight held her breath and Amy set down the microphone and she took Twilight's hands into hers and then immersed her into the water.

Amy pulled her back out of the water and all of her friends and family and neighbors cheered for her, Twilight wiped the water out of her face as the deed was done, She hugged Amy which caught Amy off guard but Amy hugged her as well, Twilight got out of the water as she was handed a towel, Twilight dried her face off as she hugged her friends and family who congratulated her. They had all went to the front of the stage while she was speaking so they could be close to her.

"We are very proud of you Twilight." Shining Armor said, Twilight hugged him and said thank you to him, after a few more words of encouragement and congratulations Twilight went to the bathroom and got dried off as she did not want to stay in wet clothes.

She air dried her dress as much as she could since sitting in it while it was wet would be a pain, she was so happy for herself though, she dried herself off with a towel she had wiped her face off with as she dried her body. She then air dried her dress as best as she could and then put it back on and went back to the service.

Twilight sat by her friends who all told her how happy they were, they said a few more hymns and then they had a closing prayer and they all went home.

"Darling we are so happy for you, I started to tear up during that. Rarity said as she wiped her face off, Twilight and her friends giggled.

"Nothing can describe how great we feel right now Twilight, I know I don't say much but i want you to know that we are very proud." Fluttershy told her, Twilight hugged them as they all spoke. They continued to walk home.

"Thank you girls, I'm happy you were their to witness it and support me." Twilight told them.

"Are you kidding, I wouldn't miss this for anything else, I'd skip soccer practice just to see you get baptized!" Rainbow Dash proclaimed, Twilight thanked them several times as she told them she appreciated them coming to see her today they all told her that that it was no problem and they said your welcome.

Twilight and her friends hung out for a bit and Twilight went home as she threw her dress in the hamper as she relaxed for the rest of the night, she had gotten what she wanted to get accomplished, she knew that she was going to have to study the bible a lot so she can try and stay away from sin each day and even if she messed up sometimes she could always ask for forgiveness, she knew that she had some work todo but she knew that she was already on her way on trying to be a good Christian and good person in general.
