"Hey look AJ I have freaking claws!" Rainbow shouted excited.

"Yeah, yeah I know. You already showed them to me." Applejack said unamused.

"Pft spoilsport. Hey look Fluttershy." She said talking to Fluttershy.

I shook my head and let out a small sigh, then Twilight spoke.

"This is incredible mom, we can do almost anything with this power." She created her blade. "Just look at this blade! I bet it can cut through almost everything." She said.

"Yeah sweetie, but that's exactly why I taught you how to use them. Come on repeat the rules."

"Never kill innocent people." Said Rarity.

"Never oblige someone else to become one of us." Said Rainbow, bored.

"Always help the family." Said Pinkie.

"Don't trust strangers, but only ourself." Said Fluttershy.

"Never use your power for personal gain, with exceptions." Said Twilight.

"And most important of all?" I asked.

"Never, ever release our virus in the environment." They said in unison.

"Very well sweeties, now go preparing for the coronation, come on chop chop." I said clapping my hands.

Twilight teleported away, Rarity, Applejack and Fluttershy made their way to their room walking. Pinkie disappeared without a trace, and Rainbow flew out of the window and landed in her room.

"And now we wait..."

"Out of my way Ursa!" I shouted swatting away her hammer on the side once again, after I formed Gungnir the Ursa became more furious and predictable, she was guided by pure rage right now.

I parried another upper blow and used the bottom of Gungnir to hit her in the face while I sidestepped her incoming momentum, she was now dizzy and I used that moment at my advantage aiming my lance to her heart but she saw it incoming and dodged so I instead hit her shoulder. Gungnir entered her flesh with ease and then I yanked in the opposite direction, opening her shoulder and splattering her golden blood everywhere. The Ursa roared in pain and jumped away from me, I noticed that her regeneration was slower than before, she took a good ten seconds before closing her wound.

"Are you a little tired?" I taunted. "Then get out of my way I just need the tree's crystal, not your life." I stated.

"Shut up murderer. This cave will be your grave even if I have to drag you with me inside of it!" She shouted, then she pierced her chest with her hand and extracted her heart. "You see, what I'm going to do is a sacrilege between astral being, if I sacrifice my heart I will become more powerful, but I will also lose myself. But I don't care, I will kill you no matter what!" She the destroyed her own heart and immediately after, all of her muscles bulged outwards and grew in mass, her teeth became sharper and longer, her armor shattered when her torso grew more and more, her hands turned back to paws with long and sharp claws, her hammer disappeared and her fur became a black so deep that light couldn't escape it. She was still bipedal but without anymore intelligence in her completely black eyes. She let out an incredible roar and charged me.

I used Gungnir to parry her charge but she managed to throw me into the air somehow, I grabbed the rope on the lance, then I thrusted it against the ceiling where it embedded in it. Then I used the rope to lift myself up onto the ceiling, I extracted Gungnir and looked at the Ursa, she created another laser, this time completely black and aimed it at me. I started to run on the ceiling avoiding the ray, when she stopped I jumped and impaled her right paw with Gungnir into the ground. Then I used the lance as a pillar to rotate myself and kick her in the face, the force of the blow made her fly away, but her paw was impaled into the ground by the lance, so a big chunk of it was severed away. The Ursa didn't even flinch, she regenerated her paw and attacked again.

She jumped into the air and tried to crush me with her arms, I jumped back and grabbed her arms, then I launched her behind me, while she was in the air I threw Gungnir at her. The lance impaled her square in the chest and pinned her on the wall, she tried to grab Gungnir to free herself, but when she touched the lance the runes on it glowed brightly and she shrieked in pain flailing her burning paws. I went in front of her and with my claws I pumped biomass in the wall, creating more tendrils that pierced her arms paralyzing her, then I used the hammerfist to beat her head to a pulp. After I was sure that she was dead I jumped down and extracted Gungnir.

I was ready to devour her until suddenly her entire body started to shake uncontrollably, shadows started to condense around her now absent head, then she regenerated it and screamed in pain. She stopped and started to grow, she was expanding like a balloon, her eyes bulged out and exploded then her body collapsed on itself and left behind a tiny black sphere. Then I felt it, a massive increase in the gravity inside the room, that thing was a black hole!

"Fuck! A fucking black hole?! How am'I supposed to stop it? At least it's effect are restricted to inside the cave.... How the fuck I know this? I don't care I need to stop it but how? "fragmentum requiem aeternam" What was that?" I said. Meanwhile the gravity was increasing and my time was ticking, I needed to act fast before the black hole killed me. And suddenly I knew what to do.

I grabbed Gungnir and concentrated all my magic and probably ambrosia inside of it, the runes glowed brightly and became brighter for every passing second. When I felt that it was ready the rune were now shining like a star, I shouted those words and threw the lance.

"Fragmentum requiem aeternam!"

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ CELESTIA POV~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

I felt the discharge of Gungnir weakest attack immediately.

"So, that's where you threw it eh? Discord you are a poor fool, you just condemned a mortal. They can't use that lance without dying." I heard a loud pop behind me, I turned around and saw a ghostly Discord.

"Test, test." He said pocking with it's eagle claw on a microphone. "Is this thing working? Alright, alright. Hello Sunbitch." He said, and I clenched my jaw."So just before we start, this is just a pre-registered message it's designed so that it will play itself when my champion uses Gungnir for the first time. First of all, you are wrong he isn't a mortal. Second, he will be far more powerful than you I can guarantee you that, so prepare your flank because it will be kicked. Third and last thing." He grinned and snapped his paw fingers. I felt all my stored magic go away, my eyes widened and I teleported inside the secret room with the stellar map.

"Ostende mihi siderum!" I shouted immediately. The stars positioned themselves in the air and I noticed with horror that the red one was now more distant than ever. "My love..." My eyes were starting to fill with tears but then an incredible rage overcame me. I teleported once again in the throne room where Discord was, he was smirking at me. "What have you done!?" I thundered.

"You are now surely asking me, 'What have you done?' It's simple really, you will toss me into the sun, in a matter of minutes so I used all of my energy to go and found my champion and place a magical chaos jammer in you castle that will completely deplete all of your stored magic." He started to laugh mocking me. I gritted my teeth almost cracking them. "Hahahaha, tell your beloved that I said hi will you? Hahahahahahahahahahaha" And he vanished laughing.

"GRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH DAMN YOU DISCORD! YEARS OF PREPARATIONS GONE!" I launched a magical blast against one of the column of my throne room destroying it. I breathed deeply, in... And out...

"Calm Celestia, calm. Not all is lost." I watched outside my windows, the sun was now descending towards the horizon.

"Fortunately I didn't stack every last bit of magic in Canterlot. But this will surely delay everything, at least for a year i can't do nothing now, just wait."

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ PHILIP POV~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

I threw Gungnir with all my might and saw that in mid-air it created a multitude of red and golden spirals all around the tip and the shaft. Then it started to rotate faster and faster until the two colour completely fused together, the lance reached the black hole and pierced it in the middle. Everything stopped suddenly, Gungnir was embedded on the wall while the black hole was starting to slowly expand and recompose the body of the Ursa. I didn't waste any time and reached for the lance, then when her body finally reformed I impaled her neck with it. She thrashed a bit weakly but then went still. I was ready to create a claw to devour her but Gungnir anticipated me and absorbed her. I suddenly felt much more powerful and with new knowledge, then I re-absorbed Gungnir and started to go down deep in the cave.

"Seems like the old changeling was wrong, it's not the crystal on the Heart's tree that he needs, but a shard of pure magic generated from the Heart itself." I thought. After ten minutes of walking inside crystals filled tunnels, I reached the Heart.

It was a sight to behold, a giant completely crystalline cave filled with immense crystal column that reflected the light emitted from the Heart creating a wonderful rainbow all around the cave. Inside there was a incredibly flourish flora, flowers that looked like they were made of crystal and trees with perfectly shaped leaf, waterfalls of pure crystal-like water traversed the entirety of the cavern and at the center of all there was a single lake. The heart was on top of it, barely touching the water, but where it touches it then stalactites of pure magic grew. The Heart was a perfect crystalline structure, with a hexagonal base, then composed by more and more perfect polygons, too many to count but a single ray of light shined from the ceiling perfectly on the Heart. From it the beautiful light brightened the entire cave.

I walked towards the heart and a bridge made out of pure condensed rainbow formed under me, I continued until I reached the Heart. I moved my hand towards one of the spikes and grabbed one, it went away from its previous position without problem. I nodded and silently thanked the heart before making my way outside.

I exited the cave and witnessed the extreme damage done to the forest, I was mulling on how to fix this when an idea struck me. I knocked on a tree and called for Woodman, after two seconds he was there.

"How can I help you, Creator?" He said.

"Can you repair the damages done to the forest by my fight with the Ursa?" I asked.

"Of course, Creator. I will start immediately." he said.

"Wonderful, see ya later." I waved him goodbye and flew towards the hive once again. I landed in front of the hive after five minutes of flight and entered, there I saw Veteris. "Hello Veteris, I have what you needed." I said showing the shard.

"What?! But how? The-the tree exists? The Heart exists?" He asked awestruck.

"Simple I found the Heart, defeated it's guardian and retrieved it. Easy peasy lemon squeezy."

"I will start the potion immediately, in a hour I should have it completed." He said.

"Very well. I'll go with Derpy." I said.

I pinpointed her with my sonar, "I need to find a name for it, mmmm. Invenient, that's a good name. Invenient it is." I used Invenient and reached Derpy. I found her inside a chamber that I never saw before, it was filled with nymphs and green light was shining from the ceiling. Derpy was now as tall as a normal mare and she was playing with the little nymphs, they were all tagging each other it was a really beautiful scene, her happy face will always be beautiful in my eyes, like with the others.

"Hello Derpy." I said, they stopped and looked at me. "There is something there..." I trailed off pointing at her nose nearing her.

"What is i...." "TAG you're it hahaha!" And I ran away with the others, that after a bit started laughing and running themselves.

"I will catch you! Hahahaha"

"Ok, are we all ready?" I asked in the radio.

"Squad 1 ready."

"Squad 2 ready."

"Squad 3 ready."

"Squad 4 ready."

"Very well then we will start the operations immediately." I said.

"Ma'am are you sure? It's almost nightfall, the Everfree is a nasty place filled with monster." Said a guard in the radio.

"You are not here to contest my orders, now move out!" I ordered. "Omega, with me."

We entered the forest, immediately the untamed magic that filled the air made itslelf know, it was difficult breathing and the darkness was increasing more and more. We were walking inside for a minute before a scream filled the radio.

"Aaaaaah HELP ME, HELP ME TAKE THEM OFF, TAKE THEM OFF!" "Splinter you are not making any sense what the... Hell... OH FUCK NO! NO NO NO YOU CAN'T BE HERE! YOU WERE IN CANTERLOT NO NOOOOO!"

"Corporal! Corporal what the fuck is happening there? Corporal!" Silence filled the air, not even the forest made a sound. "Have you any..." I turned around to ask the Omegas a question but they were gone now. "...Idea?"

"Alone.... Alone.... All alone...."

"Who's there?" I called.

"Poor little Cadence now she is all.... Alone.... They abandoned you, they left you. They left you like HE did hehehe."

"Don't you dare talk about him! You know nothing!" I shouted in the now blackness of the forest.

"Oh but I know many thing, are you not tired? Tired of being manipulated? Tired of being useless? Tired of being a weight?"

"YOU ARE NOTHING BUT A WEIGHT!"

"Stop it!" I shouted covering my ears.

"Useless winged unicorn! You can't even steal enough!"

"~~DAD STOP PLEASE!~~"

"You are no daughter of mine!"

"STOP IT!"

"You ̕co҉u̶ld̕n't͠ ̀̀̀̀̀̀̀̀̀̀̀̀̀̀̀̀s͟av͞e ͡us!͘" "Ẃ͡hy͟͢ ̢y͘͡ǫ̵u ̷a͏̧́b̧a̷n̴̕͜d͏͡ơn̴̨͠é́d͝͞ ͡҉͡ú́s͢͡͝ ̸C͘a̸͝di?̛̕͠" The voice of a multitude of foals filled the air while an ocean of blood and darkness formed at my hooves, hands upon hands exited the red ocean. Heads, guts and screams.

"I̷̡̕͢t̡'̷̀͝s̵̡҉̶ ̸̴͘͝͠y̴̵̛ǫ̶̛̕u̷̡̨͘͢t̨̢͏ ͡҉f̶̶́͟á̢͠͠u҉̶l̵̢̛͢͢t̷̵͞͏!҉̨" More screams filled the air, foals and mothers alike where all screaming for me to die.

"Ḑ̸̕i̡̨͏͞e͠!̸̴̧ ̶̵̡͞Y̧͢͞ò͞͠u͏͜ ̢̛́͝a̧̕ŗ̨̢e̷̕͝ ͏͝҉a̢͘͟ ̶̕͞͡m̸͏̢o̶̧͢ņ̴̸̕͡s̴̕͜t̸̶̶̀e̸͝r̨͡!̨͠͏͘͝ ̡̧̀͞͞" "W̢͜͠͝h̶́͢͜y̢̢ ͜͝͞͠a̴͘r̴̢͡͏ȩ́͞͏͠ ̴͡y̷͢ò̢͜u͢͞ ̶̨͘͘͝d̸̵̵͢͠ó̷̕i̴͜ņǵ̕͟͟ ̡͜͝͞t̨̡͟h̸͟͢i̷͠s̷?̡!̡̀͘͟"

A face completely skinless with her blue crystal eyes liquyfing, grabbed my heads and looked at me in the eyes before opening her mouth revealing more and more mouths filled with screams and blood. Then it spoke in a demonic voice cursing me forever.

C̡͠Ú̸R͡͞͏Ş̸E҉͏ ̴̡̕͘Y̴̡͜͡O̕͜Ú̶͟͡ ̷̵̢͟T̨͞͡O̴͢ ̸҉͠Ḩ̛͞É҉̀͝L͘͡҉L̷̨͜͝!̴̧̛͟͝

"STOP IT! STOP IT! STOOOOP! I'M SORRY!" I shouted crying. Then everything stopped, I looked around and saw a face. A completely black face with no features except two brilliant red eyes and a giant grinning white mouth filled with sharp teeth. It went in front of me and in a whisper said.

"A͢p͟͞Ol̶͞Ò̵ǵ͏̀Ie̢̛S̸̡ ҉̧W̴̧w҉W̧̛͞oN͟͞ţ̸͟ M̨̕͜a͞Ké̷͜ ͏͜T̶ḩ̶Eḿ͟͝ A̡l͏͠I͟͝v͏͘E͏ ̀̕Ag҉A͟͡i̴͜͝N͠͡!" Then it opened it's mouth and let out an impossible scream. I started to fall, spiraling into an endless abyss of death and despair that I alone have created with hundreds of souls. They all wanted one thing.

"D̶͝I҉̸́̀É̵͘͘"

More hands were reaching for me while I tried to swat them away they were all chanting the same thing over and over. They want me dead, they started to bring me down in the blood, my ankles, my shoulders, my chin.

"And would really be so bad to give them what they want?" I thought crying more and more, until the blood completely submerged me, then nothing.

"Your majesty!" Veteris shouted. "We are ready!"

"Wonderful come on let's go. Derpy!" I called.

"Coming!" She replied, right now she was completely grow up with modest breasts, long blond hair and beautiful blonde eyes, 1.70 meters tall and her wings were fully developed. She wore a toga created by the changelings for her new stature.

We entered the throne room and waited for Veteris to show up, after a few seconds he came out of a nearby door next to the throne, in his hands a vial filled with blue liquid.

"Drink this Derpy." He said. She nodded, she leaned her lips to the vial and drank it. Suddenly the throne's doors opened and a creature made of multiple part of animals entered.

"Don't drink!" He shouted rushing towards us, the guards tried to stop him but he phased through them. "I'm too late..." He said deflated.

"Discord?!" I shouted recognizing him. "You are alive?"

"No, I'm pretty much dead." He smiled a little. "It's good to see you again, but I'm sorry to bring you bad news."

"What news?" I asked.

"That potion, the inscription was incomplete. Yes it gives the drinker theirs youth back but not by making them return young." He inhaled and made a little pause. "But by rendering them immortal."

"What?" I said. "Discord if this is one of your jokes I swear."

"I would like it was. But it isn't. Derpy is now immortal in every sense of the term, age and time can't kill her. And if someone manages to kill her, she will just regenerate. Not even complete annihilation can stop this, in that case she will regenerate back to the Heart." He explained.

"Derpy..." I said looking at her shocked face. "Derpy I'm so, so sorry." I said hugging her. "It's my fault, your mother made a mistake by trusting me with your safety. I understand if you don't want to see me again."

"Why would I?" She replied in a calm tone.

"Derpy what are you talking about? I ruined your life! You won't have a foalhood, you won't have your teenage years!" I said looking at her.

"I won't die either though." She said smiling.

"Derpy that's not a good thing. Immortality means that you will see the people who you care about die around you of old age." I explained to her. "And-and you won't see your mother again."

"I don't think she would like for me to die in order to see her again, I think that she would be happy for me. And in this way I can make friends with all of the girls and we can play as much as we want!" She said.

"But Derpy, are you sure?"

"Aren't you immortal as well? Won't you see your loved ones die around you too?" She asked.

"I have a family." I started then I stopped and whispered "... A family." I remained silent for a bit before continuing. "Derpy, would you like to be part of my family?" I asked softly.

"Well, after all you need a normal one inside of it right?" She said smiling with tears in her eyes. "You know 'sniff' I really REALLY thought about it and... I never had a father, my biological one abandoned us when I was born, so I was wondering if you... well you were very nice with me in the past three days and mommy trusted you so... Would you be my dad?" She asked with tears trailing her cheeks.

I leaned down and dried the with my hand. "I would be honored to be your father sweetie." I said smiling. She hugged me and whispered a soft thank you. I trailed my hand in her hair while she was still hugging me. After a while we broke off the hug and looked at each other.

"Go home now sweetie, I need to talk with your uncle Discord." I said smirking at him. He shot me a glare but said nothing. "And tell the news to your sisters!" I said while she was running away. I turned around and looked at Discord.
"So, what do you want to talk about? And you are alive thats wonderful. Are you here to help me fight Celestia?"

"First thing, I'm not alive. I'm a chaos construct designed by the original Discord to help you with you powers. Second I already helped you with Celestia, I managed to gain at least a year before HE comes back." He said.

"What powers? Are you talking about the Ambrosia?" I asked.

"Ding ding ding. We have a winner. Yes my boy that's exactly why I'm here, but before that." He gestured towards the guards and Veteris. "They have to go." I told them to leave us alone in the hive mind and they exited without a sound.
"Ok first, we will start with the basics. You possessed the Ambrosia from the start, original Discord gave it to you before sending you here. That small amount of Ambrosia was the thing that permitted to your arm to resist the Elements's power. Thus creating you daughters, that's also why you managed to kill the Ursa minor, after that you absorbed his Ambrosia and started to develop Celestial abilities, such as the trick that you did with your lightning in the fight with the Ursa major and all the incredible augmentation in your physical abilities." He popped in existence a ghostly blackboard and continued. "Right now you have barely the amount of Ambrosia of a demi god, you are leagues under Celestia. But that doesn't mean that you are weak, far from it. Normal attack that aren't imbued with Ambrosia will phase though you harmlessly. For you to understand why, we must start with a basic concept."

"Look." He drew stick figure on the blackboard. "This is a 2D figure, it cannot touch or harm a being of the third dimension because it can't even comprehend that third dimension. You humans in your world." He draw a cube.
"Are creature of the third dimension, in this world every creature is of the fourth dimension where the fourth one is magic. Now me, you, Luna, Celly every being that has Ambrosia is of the fifth dimension. That means that normal ponies can't even touch you if you don't want them to. That's in theory, but you are different. The Ambrosia is inside the very soul of a living being but in your case the Ambrosia is inside the very virus that compose you." He said.

"But that means that..." I started.

"Yes, your guardians, your daughters and Sunset. All of them have Ambrosia inside of them, it's enough for them to touch another Celestial being but not enough to be intangible. That being said now we will train you to gain the ability to throw God tier spells and master Gungnir. That was my weapon you know? I'm very impressed that you managed to use it's weakest god-like attack." He said.

"You mean fragmentum requiem aeternam? That's a weak one? It fucking stopped a black hole! I call bullshit on this one!" I said.

"It was it's weakest attack believe me, but that's why I'm here to teach you how to use it at it's maximum. So now let's get started and-" A sudden tremor shocked Discord. "Dammit Celestia!" He said blinking in and out of existence.
"Listen boy, Celestia is severing my connection from the world, I don't have the time to teach you everything I'm sorry."

"But you said you were a construct!" I replied

"Yes but I still need the natural magic of the world to sustain myself and right now Bitchlestia is severing mine!"

Another ripple crossed his body and his lower half disappeared. "Listen well, you need to travel and find the remaining Astral creature, they are all allys of Celestia and you need their knowledge and power to fight her! Gah. Dammit. Now go you have one year remember that but before I go." He touched me with his eagle claw and transferred all of his knowledge on the whereabout of the Astral, their aspects, their spells and who they are. "That's all I can do boy goodbye..." He said fading away.

"Goodbye Discord, and thank you. For everything. Requiescati in pace.

"I don't know what you were doing in that forest, but sure as hell I won't let you do whatever you want. You can call this a payback for ruining my plans." I thought while I completely severed his connection with the magic of the world using a complex magical array, suddenly a guard entered the throne room and addressed me.

"Princess Celestia." He said bowing. "I'm here to report."

I dispelled the magical array and said. "Go ahead."

"Of the two hundred guards sent there one was killed by one of the Omegas, another one was killed by a creature called a Mammoth, we have a file that describes the creature. And all the remaining guards showed sign of extreme fear due to an unknown means. Those who were interrogated stated multiple different scenario where something scared them to death. All of them are too traumatized to return to their post. Finally General Cadence fell into a deep coma and she's now in observation in the Canterlot Royal hospital." He finished.

"I need to see her. You can go now, dismissed."I said and teleported to the Royal hospital. At the reception I asked where I could find Cadence, after have being told the room I quickly teleported in. Cadence was there on the bed unmoving, a mask was covering her muzzle and her eyes were closed. Shining Armor was there too arms crossed on his chest in the opposite corner of the room.

"What happened?" I asked.

"We don't really know." He started. "We heard the scream in the radio and went to investigate, then a mist came out of nowhere. I created a barrier between us and it but Cadence wasn't there. When we finally found her she was on the ground crying asking for forgiveness. When we exited the forest she entered in the coma." He finished.

"That's not good, alright Shining Armor I give you the full authority on the Omega squad. Find Hunter and bring me his head." I finished coldly.

"As you wish, your majesty."

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ SUNSET POV~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

"Girls!" I called. "Are you ready or not?"

"Coming!" They called, then I heard a loud noise and a sheepish laugh. "Hehe maybe five more minutes?" Said Twilight. I facepalmed and groaned, then the door behind me opened and Derpy entered.

"Hello Sunset!" SHe said cheerfully.

"Derpy? What happened, why are you so big?" I asked.

"Are you calling me fat?" She asked unamused.

"What? No, nononono. I mean why aren't you a foal? Philip failed?" I asked worried.

"No, Phil succeeded but, instead of making me younger, he made me immortal." She said.

"Really?! But how?" She then started to tell me what happened and what Discord told her, I was speechless. I never heard something so powerful as the immortality of the Heart. I didn't know how to react, on one hand Derpy won't die no matter what, but in the other... how will she be able to found love?

"You are immortal?" Said the voice of Fluttershy who was now hanging from the ceiling. "That's wonderful! we can be friends forever!" She said jumping on Derpy and hugging her.

"In reality... We are not friends." Derpy stated.

"W-what?" Whispered Fluttershy.

"I asked Phil and now we are not friends." She said, before smiling and hugging Fluttershy with all her strength."We are sisters!"

Fluttershy's smile returned with the radiance of thousands of suns. "Yes, yesyesyes, we need to tell the others come on hurry!"

"You did it eh? Good for you" I smiled softly before heading upstairs, the girls have already swarmed Derpy and were hugging her senseless.

"Alright girls all in line it's time to see your dresses." I said. They all stood up and straightened their dresses, except for Rainbow Dash.

First in line was Twilight, who was wearing a beautiful dress with a big skirt, the dress was purple with thin sleeves, the skirt resembled the night sky in a magical night, with specks of white and lavender that twirled and fused together like if it was a spell,she wore a pair of purple long gloves that reached almost her elbow. Her hair were all brushed and were sparkling with light. At her feet a pair of lavender heels, filled with sparkling powder.

Second in line was Applejack who wore a very beautiful and simple dress, with a skirt smaller than the one Twilight used, her dress was prevalently a bright red with leaf of green that sprouted from the back hugging her figure, her torso was criss crossed by a light brown fabric that kept the dress in place. It was sleeveless and she wore no gloves, her hair were braided in a beautiful way. She wore at her feet a pair of brown low heels.

Third was Pinkie Pie, she wore a pink and cerulean dress that resembled a cupcake, with the base in a cerulean colour while the middle body was a light pink that spiraled up until it met the whiteness of the upper torso, there it bended perfectly into it and created a beautiful mix of colour. Her dress had thicker sleeves than Twilight's and her hair were poofy as always. She wore a pair of pink ballerina pumps with a cherry on the top of it.

Fourth in line was Rainbow Dash, her dress was more like a toga, with a single sleeve that sustained the entire dress with a single coin with a thunder on it as a button. The rest of the dress was a cascade of iridescent colours that created the illusion of moving along her body. At the end of her skirt was a beautiful cloud like pattern that terminated the rainbow. Her hair were braided and closed in circular fashion around her head, like if they were a golden laurel. At her feet were a pair heels with a cloud like design on them.

Fifth in line was Fluttershy, She created a nature themed dress, her principal colors were the bright green and brown, her skirt resembled the foliage of a tree with branches made of different type of fabrics, her torso was hugged by more tree like designs up to the torso were they created an intricate pattern with leaves and more branches. She was the only one that didn't wore any shoes.

And finally Rarity, Her dress was a beautiful fusion between the crystalline properties of the amethyst and the diamond. Her skirt was filled with precious gems, while the dress itself was a wonderful blending between purple and gold, the edges of the skirt were golden that faded on purple. This combination created a rose like pattern that reached her torso where the two fused together. Her dress was sleeveless, on her neck was a beautiful pearl necklace. She wore a pair of long purple heels with a diamond pattern on them.

"You are beautiful, come on the ceremony is starting!"
