Ten years later.

Ten years later

Chapter 1 - Twilight Sparkle

This story plays 10 years after season three, Equestria is relatively peaceful again. Twilight graduated, the CMC got their Cutie Marks and so on. Ten years later a lot of things changed in Ponyville. (I wrote this  BEFORE season 3 came out, I'm sorry if I make mistakes or some things seem illogical)

"Spiiiike? Spiiiike?! Where are you Spike?" the annoyed, purple unicorn stomps her hoof on the ground. "We don't have all day" she moans and starts to look for her number one assistant.

"I'm here, Twi. It's seven o'clock in the morning. Why are you so agitated?"

Twilight growls and grits her teeth. "That's typical Spike again. You forgot that you have to make a presentation today, didn't you?" she looks down at the green and purple dragon, even though he's grown in the past years he's still a little smaller than the unicorn Twilight Sparkle. "My students feel so happy about you coming and you forgot it!"

"Calm down Twi! I didn't forget it... I'm just very tired... Let's go, alright?" he lumbers on his four feet, he looks pretty sturdy and strong like that, yet his wings are still punny and he's unable to fly. The dragon steps outside, fresh air blowson his face, he takes a long breath and continues his walk. There's only one direction: Twilight Sparkle's school for unicorns.

It's just a little school, you can take one or two hour courses before or after school. "You know Twilight, you could be a little calmer. You're always in a hurry, but there's no reason for that. We have all the time we need" he complains. Spike is not a baby anymore, but he's still a stubborn, cheeky dragon who actually wants to sleep through the whole day. "We could sleep a little longer, you students wouldn't be mad at you.

Twilight rolls her eyes, but she has to chuckle immediately. "You know that I don't want to be tardy and I don't want my students to be late either" she explains and opens the door to the classroom. "What are you going to say, Spike? I hope you're prepared" she looks at him with an observant look on her face.

Spike sighs. "You will see what I've prepared Twi, I'm not doing this for the first time and you know that" he giggles while the students are entering. They're either six or seven years old.

Twilight clears her throat. "Good morning everypony. I am miss Twilight Sparkle. I'll be your teacher for this year. The courses is optinial for every unicorn in Ponyville. You can come back next year, but if you didn't like it you don't have to. I hope I encourage you to be a good student, I hope we'll have a great time together. Before we start with the actual tuition I wanna introduce my assisstant Spike to you" she points at the purple dragon.

He just waves and smiles at all the ponies. "I had to hatch him for my entrance exam for Princess Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns. "He is going to tell you something about magic before we start. Will you begin, Spike?" she smiles and steps back.

Spike stands on two legs again. An awkward smile appears on his face. This is the eighth year and I'm still nervous he thinks and his smile gets brighter. "Well my name is Spike. I'm the number one assistant of Twilight Sparkle, she's the most talented unicorn in all of Equestria. She asked me to do a little presentation about the different types of magic. You are going to learn unicorn magic, but there are other kinds of magic too. I'm about to show you some" he takes a quill and paper and writes something. "'Dear princess Celestia and princess Luna!

This is Spike, I'm writing to you because the new school year started. There are some wonderful new students for Twilight, she's doing a great job as a teacher, just like you. They're wonderfully pleasant and I'm glad I can write you this. I hope for a good response.

Yours,

Spike" he writes and reads.

A white unicorn with a black mane raises his hoof. "How are you going to deliver this to the princess, mister Spike?" he asks.

Spike smiles:"That's what I'm going to show you kids. It's my personal magic. I can deliver mail in a second only with my breath" he explains and sends the letter. As usual it disappears with the aid of his fire breath in purple smoke.

After a few moments he burps another letter out. He catches it with his claw and opens the bow. The dragon starts to read. "Dear Spike,

I wish you both Twilight and you started in a great new school year. I hope the students are willing to learn and are happy to be here. I trust you and your skills completely. Please send new letters if there are some news.

Princess Luna"

The mouths of the unicorns drop open. "How have you done that?" - "How is this possible?" - "Can I do this too?" the questions are clanging through the room. "Calm, calm, little ponies" he grins. And now it begins he thinks content with himself. "Please calm down kids. What I've just showed you is practicually my kind of magic. I wanted to show you that every living creature has some type of magic, not only unicorns can perform them. You asked me how I've done that, well I just did! How do you do your magic? And that's the point, you have something magical inside yourself, like everybody else" he explains. The dragon bows as the foals clop their hooves. "Thank you everypony. Miss Twilight I think it's your turn now. Goodbye fillies" he smiles and walks out of the room.

After Spike left Twilight continues. Her horn starts to glow and each book on her table flies to one of the fillies. She clears her throat again and starts to talk about the use of magic, how they're going to learn it and so on, the first lesson is never about actual magic. After one hour she smiles at everypony. "You can go now fillies and colts, you don't want to miss your courses in school. I'll see you in two days" she smiles. Like the other elementary and high school Twilight's school of magic has seven courses a day, but the students shouldn't miss so many hours, so each course is only three times a week.

The rest of the day was normal and peaceful, like every day of a new school year. Twilight loves being a teacher especially because it has to do with magic. Most ponies say nopony could ask for a better teacher, well she had a better teacher, but she blushes everytime everypony says something like this anyway.

With a happy look on her face Twilight leaves the house and trots through the streets of her beautiful home: Ponyville. To be exact it isn't her real home, she was born in Canterlot, but she lives in this little town for 13 years now. So it's technically her home to the unicorn.

"Crusaders of rock! The world sensation is coming to Ponyville! You shouldn't miss the most awesome, most terrific, super-duper amazing band in all of Equestria!" the newscolt screams through the streets of Ponyville. "More news! The Summer Night Concert will be soon, you should get your tickets!" he stop and glares at Twilight. "Care for a newspaper miss Twilight?" he asks. She smiles:"Sure, like every afternoon" she hands him fours bits and starts to read the journal.

The world sensation Sweetie Belle and her band are on tour again. They are going to visit Ponyville. It is going to be their first stop on their Equestria tour. It will be at September 9th. That is already in three days, but there are still a few tickets left. You should get one if you want to see one of the best bands that ever existed

She reads carefully and a bright smile appears on her face. She's heard of Sweetie Belle's band, the Crusaders of Rock. You must live under a rock if you haven't heard of them before, especially here in Equestria. She gallops right to a place where you can buy the tickets and buys one for each or her friends. But now I have to do something more important. It's almost three pm she thinks and gallops straight to Sugar Cube Corner where her beloved friends are already waiting for her to celebrate a crucial birthday.

She opens the door to Sugar Cube Corner. "Good evening everypony" she unicorn smiles happily and trots into the house.

Immediately a little earth pony with pink coat and a red, curled mane jumps at her. His dark blue eyes are staring right into her own eyes. "Good mo'ning Twiligh'" he giggles and cuddles the unicorn. "I'm glad to see you too Cheery Pie. Happy Birthday!"

The one-year old pony hugs Twilight tightly. "T'ank you Twi, I'm so happy" he laughs and runs around in circles until the little colt falls down and starts to sob like a little kid, well he is a little kid after all. Twilight runs over to him, lays the colt on her shoulder and comforts him. "ShhhShhh little one, it's okay" she speaks silently and softly.

Pinkie Pie takes her son gently out of Twilight's arms. "Thank you, Twi. My little guy is very active" she giggles and pets Cheery Pie. "It's alright my dear" she kisses his nose and puts her son down again. "Go and play with the others upstairs" she says and looks at Twilight:"I'm happy that you made it, Twi. The others are already upstairs and PARTY!" she greets her friend and hugs her tightly just like her son. "Ohhhh this party is going to be so great! Like really Twi! Thanks for coooming. See you there" she laughs and bounces to the first floor.

Twilight chuckles. Oh Pinkie, even though you have a child you're still the same crazy party pony that we love so much she sighs and trots upstairs where almost all her friends are, including Apple Bloom, Spike and Applejack's children.

Applejack has a daughter, Apple Jam, she has a yellow coat and straight, brown hair, she's seven years old. And she has a son, Apple Zappy, he has an orange coat and light, smooth, gren hair, he's two years old. "I already have my cutie mark! It's super awesome! It's a jar of jam and you have to wait forever, until you get yours" she giggles, she finds it funny to tease her brother, but it's not supposed to be rude or even nasty.

Apple Bloom jumps at her niece. "Oh you big meanie!" she bites her nose and both start to giggle. "Auntie Bloom, that's not fair!" she guffaws and tries to push her aunt away. No chance, Apple Bloom is much stronger.

Twilight watches the scene, but suddenly everypony is silent, they look at Twilight's direction. "Huh? What's wrong with me?" she turns around and is startled by her vision.

"BLOOOOMSTEEEER!" Scootaloo the weather pegasus shouts.

"SCOOOOOOOOTS!" Apple Bloom shouts back.

Both gallop to each other, they cuddle and hug as tight as possible. "I missed you so much Scoots" Apple Bloom sobs and presses her face into Scootaloo's mane. "I missed you too Bloomster. It's been a while since I've moved to Cloudsdale"

Twilight, Applejack, Fluttershy, Rarity and Pinkie Pie can't contain their joy, they can't hold the wave of happiness back. They just jump on Rainbow Dash to hug one of their best friends. The pegasus pony with the rainbow mane giggles. "Girls, girls! I know, it's been a while too!" she tries to hug all of them back. "I'm sorry that I couldn't manage to visit you" she frowns and they all stand up. "But now you're heeere!" Pinkie Pie bounces in circles and laughs. "I'm sooo happy that you're here!"

Scootaloo and Apple Bloom stopped hugging. The pegasus smiles. "We'll be here until Sweetie Belle comes. We're gonna watch her concert" she pronounces.

Rainbow Dash nods:"I've missed you so much in the past years. The wonderbolts are awesome, but you're the best friend a pegasus could wish for and Scootaloo is also pretty busy as a weather pony in Cloudsdale" she explains.

Twilight smiles at them:"It's no problem, now you're here and we can celebrate Cheery Pie's birthday!"

Pinkie Pie jumps with her son:"EXACTLY!" she laughs and everypony starts to party. There's punch, games, cake, food and a lot of dancing and talking. They don't have so much time anymore, but they try to stay as close as possible. They saved the world three times and they'll probably be friends for the rest of their lives.

Twilight walks around and asks everypony how their life is and everything sounds pretty neat. She is very happy that her friends made it so far and she's also happy that she's still in contact with the princesses. "Oh Spike, I'm so happy that we still have each other" she kisses her assistant on the nose. "But you should be more mature, you're twenty-five years old!"

Spike sighs while he's dancing around with Cheery Pie and throwing him around to catch him again. "You can trust me, Twi. And you always say I'm technically still a five-year old and I act like one!" he continues playing.

Twilight sits down for a while and gazes at the stars outside, the night is beautiful. She's grown up with the face of the mare on the moon and dull nights. Celestia was a good princess of the night, but Luna's nights are much more beautiful. She smiles, looks at her friends and continues to celebrate the birthday of Cheery Pie.
