Chapter 1: Meeting The Mane 6

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

Elizabeth began to stir from her unconscious state, and slowly recalled what had made her pass out in the middle of the ... Everfree Forest. This did not make much sense since the Everfree forest was from a television show how could she have ended up there. It could not be real that flash must have made her start seeing things, or she had just fallen asleep then fell off her bed. Although Elizabeth usually remembered when she fell asleep due to her insomnia making it difficult to fall into slumber.

As she was going over the details not wantibg to open her eyes there were sounds coming from a different room. A voice with a northern accent said "First the Everfree forest goes wilder than a hungry beaver at a lumber yard. Second, we scared ourselves plain silly at the two sisters old castle, then after we walk back to Ponyville all of us see an alicorn come walkin' out of the Everfree forest!" There was no way that country accent was a member of her family so who was in the other room talking.

She heard hoofsteps?, following behind the one who had spoken before meaning there was another person in the room outside of her's. Then a fancy taking voice that Elizabeth was used to hearing in her house said "I must agree that this situation is rather strange, Applejack. Especially since the poor darling looked like she was hurting all over I wonder what ever could have caused her to collapse. Along with the absurd fact she does not have a cutiemark is quite irregular. She looked absolutely dreadful, but it doesn't look like any creature from the Everfree harmed her." Both sounded female that name that she had stated almost did not register until she recalled the first line.

Elizabeth thought 'Hold on, Applejack? If that is the famous orange earth pony, then the other voice must be Rarity. So I really am in My Little Pony hopefully Ponyville. From what Applejack said I must have entered just after Season 4 episode 3 Castle Mania. It must have been because the episode above the one that had sent her here was that episode. Still this made no sense how could she be transported into her favourite television show what brought her to ... 'Escape to Equestria' now that makes sense.

The episode that she had clicked the link to was named that which mean it somehow brought her here. Another voice began to speak it was obvious who this one belonged to a very cheerful pony. Elizabeth also heard who she definetly believed to be Pinkie Pie say "Yes.. But she is also a new member of Ponyville, along with another pony for me to make friends with ... Which calls for a welcoming party."

An iconic voice she recognized that belong to Rainbow Dash then said "I don't think she will be staying long Pinkie, we can't have suspicious ponies move into town after all." Once the blue pegasus stated this, Elizabeth was deeply enraged so much so that she opened her eyes. Opened the door then walked into the room where the Mane Six with Spike were at. It was quite obvious that everypony was surprised to see her up and about, they thought she had been sleeping the whole time.

Elizabeth stated "That is a peculiar statement coming from you although I have no clue who would say something so ridiculous living here. If I recall correctly there is a zebra living in this town that once was a strange newcomer to everyone. Who would go to get ingredients for her elixirs along with remedies yet every pony shunned her by hiding in their houses. Even all of you aside from a certain little filly who did not judge her by her looks t which lead to a poison joke mishap that helped that zebra to be accepted."

Applejack asked " How do ya know about Zecora's first few visits, and how ma sister Apple Bloom went after her? Also why does an Alicorn like yourself just appear out of who knows where with no cutiemark!" Since Elizabeth was not able to get a good look at herself, she asked for a mirror to which Spike nervously got a small mirror. It was nerveracking for the young dragon who was creeped out by her especially they seemed unnatural as both kept focus on him the entire walk.

Elizabeth gasped upon seeing her own reflection, and said "My name is Elizabeth Victoria Lystor the second, I am afraid that I do not quite remember what I was exactly doing. After I somehow entered the Everfree forest from my bedroom." It wasn't a lie, she couldn't exactly recall what she was doing on her computer before seeing an extremely bright flash of light. It must have been from being unconscious for what could possibly be a few hours that would at least make sense.

Twilight Sparkle said " Wait if you are 'the second' of your family that must mean you are of a royal background. It would explain why you are an alicorn the only ones in Equestria like me are princess es. I earned my wings recently yet I only know of my sister in law Cadence. And of course the two royal sisters who are the only other alicorns. How old are you Elizabeth, and why did you pass out right at the entrance of the Everfree forest this night?" Elizabeth could strangely picture her family as earth ponies it did not make sense seeing as she could not for some reason picture the one she was named after.

Elizabeth responded "I am not exactly from a royal family, my family is just well known for their musical talents for some while the other knows a great expanse about the past. I am supposed to celebrate my twelfth birthday tomorrow that of course depends on if it is still the same night. Every pony in my family usually chose which side of the family they are gonna be apart of once we turn twelve, aside from my brother who is ... different from everyone else.

All of my family received their Cutiemarks later than most so that is the best reason I can explain me not having my cutiemark. The reason I passed out was that I felt an abnormal pain in my body it started as soon as I stepped on that dirt path. I suspect it to be due to a possible accidental teleportation spell I used without knowing. So I went through magic over use do to the sudden drain of it in my body along with what i think is called a magic induced growthspurt.

Also you do not have to call me by my full first name, I will be just fine with either Eliza or even Eli will do for the time being I honestly prefer those two anyway." She noticed that Fluttershy looked quite nervous whenever she spoke, and Elizabeth asked asked "Excuse me, yellow pegasus in the back, is there a reason you appear to be deeply disturbed whenever I speak. If it is due to my accent, I am quite sorry but I can not change my vocal patterns that would just feel rather uncomfortable."

Of course she knew who Fluttershy was, who could forget the shy yellow animal caretaker she was also apart of the Mane 6 after all. Since Elizabeth was meeting them for the first time she had decided to remain rather oblivious knowing their names would make her look suspicious. Fluttershy quickly let out a small squeak then she said in her usual hushed tone "It is not the way you speak that makes my f-feel nervous. I am just shy around new ponies especially c-considering what you are."

Due to watching many of the episodes, Elizabeth remembered Princess Celestia's visit at Sugar Cube Corner it was one of the very few Celestia episodes. Everypony was on edge which was easily understandable in the presence of a ruler who had to wear the burden of an entire nation. It was not until the seven and eighth seasons that Princess Celestia was revealed to not be as over powered as fans had thought.

Rainbow Dash said "We already have one egghead, Twilight. I don't think we need another one sides you do not look cool at all 'Eliza'." Elizabeth did not even respond physically to that comment making sure that Rainbow Dash was not able to get the satisfaction of rattling her. She could tell that the pink earth pony in the room was even more excited than normal.

Pinkie Pie shouted "Wait, your twelfth birthday is tomorrow then that means, you have to let me throw you a super duper fun party. I am the best party planner in Ponyville, which means it's guaranteed to be an epic celebration, Eli! Plus this will be my first time throwing a birthday party for an alicorn like you, well technically an alicorn in general Twilight's birthday was planned before she got her wings." Elizabeth saw that the other six in the library were slightly annoyed possibly due to Pinkie Pie being extra excited while they looked a little tired. Twilight Sparkle made a little head notion to Apple Jack to calm the other earth pony down so she walked to the pink mare.

Applejack told Pinkie to start planning Elizabeth's Birthday party, to which Pinkie Pie pulled a list from out of no where in particular. Playing true to her innate ability to defy certain laws of physics she pulled out a sharpened pencil from her cotton candy like mane. Elizabeth thought 'Breaking Logic just like in the actual show, this is pretty cool meeting the mane six along with Spike in tow'.

Applejack stated "Since your an alicorn I bet that all of your family must be unicorns, and pegasi since ya can use magic all willy nilly like that right, Eli. It is pretty suspicious considerin' that I know I have never even heard of the family name Lystor, before you just told us. Still if ya grew up with unicorn siblins' then you must lack control or somethin to be that drained."

Twilight spoke "Applejack does make a valid point I haven't heard of the name Lystor, either in my life, I am originally from the city Cantorlot. So I have a fair amount of knowledge about family's that are well known your name doesn't ring a bell. I am definitely sending Princess Celestia another letter, all about you since you're in an unusual situation." Spike went to get paper along with a quill for Twilight to write with anything ti get away from Elizabeth sounded relieving. He took a few moments to make sure the red alicorn had not followed him the feeling if being watched finally went away.

Elizabeth said "I do not mind answering your questions, but my family isn't from Canterlot or any other big city like that. Also Applejack, forgive me if that is not your name, my family consists of all earth ponies, only my great great grandmother was a unicorn that married a pegasus. I have many cousins, aunts, and uncles to boot as well I have at least over three hundred family members that I know of.

Along with that Twilight, I believe that one of my great great great grandfathers may have known the Princess of the Sun along with his twin sister. I can not exactly remember what my brother looks like because these past few years he has had health problems staying in his room."

While getting some minor introductions out of the way, along with many of the main six being impressed by how unusual her family was. That ability to picture them just felt right if they had come to Equestria like her even to the point cutiemarks were visible. She did not really lie about how they looked she had an odd feeling when describing her cousins.

Being able have known about the type of ponies they would have became was quite perplexing what was showing her these things. Applejack was impressed that despite being earth ponies like her family it was surprising an alicorn can come from that type of genetic background. they didn't even have anything to do with agriculture which was quite common in earth pony society.
Twilight Sparkle asked a few questions about that great great grandfather it was surprising how much the other alicorn knew about him. She began wondering why Spike had been taking so long to get supplies to write a simple, letter Rarity passed a small pouch to Elizabeth just as he came out. Twilighy wrote to Princess Celestia explaining Elizabeth's situation, although it was extremely abnormal. She began the letter

Dear Princess Celestia,

I am writing about an unexpected occurrence that happened when my friends, Spike, and I were returning to Ponyville. We encountered an odd.. Alicorn named Elizabeth Victoria Lystor the second, who bears no cutiemark on both her flanks. From what she can recall, Elizabeth used a teleportation spell that must of moved her a very long distance. Because she was at the entrance to the Everfree Forest to which Elizabeth collapsed for the strain of magic on her body. She says that it was extremely painful especially in her upper chest region, but not much so in her horn. Elizabeth comes from a long line of Earth ponies that are apparently well renowned for their musical talents. They also habe diverse knowledge in history along with physiology which lives in a remote part of the world. From asking multiple questions we learned that possibly you may have encountered two opposite gendered twin earth ponies who shared the family name of Lystor. Apparently the stallion, who Elizabeth believes was named Able Octave was a well renowned violinist who had a filly, Elizabeth Victoria Lystor the first, to which she was named after. Elizabeth (the second) has a light red coat, with multi colored blue eyes, along with a jagged style light brown mane, and it appears she has very little experience using her magic, with her wings being extremely stiff due to lack of use. Until we are able to come into contact with her family members, then for now I propose that she lives in Ponyville as an Earth Pony with AppleJack since she is used to having to use her hooves for various tasks.

Your faithful student, and fellow Princess, Twilight Sparkle.

-P.S I still consider my self a student because I will continue to learn from you.
