--- Time Skip 2 Hours, July 10th, 5:00 a.m--

Although it was definitely a dream come true for Elizabeth, she couldn't help to feel guilty about her family back in England especially her brother. They may have been quite strict in raising her which made her have a strong anger toward them. That did not change the fact that she had inadvertently left them without leaving a trace of where she had disappeared.

This situation would be rather difficult to comprehend in normal circumstances in the human world what would they think of. There laid the problem at hoof, her situation was in no way at all to be considered normal in any aspect. She had somehow entered the world of her favorite television show, My Little Pony which was thought to be fiction.

After she was supposed to choose which side of her family that she would have to take part in that would make her family suspect she ran away. On this side it was weird with her becomingan alicorn the rarest kind of pony to their was in Equestria. Something did balance it out her magic had been locked, and her wings are too stiff to be able to fly so she had to learn these things.

Elizabeth had been lucky enough to collapse in front of the Mane 6, and Spike the Dragon while in the Everfree forest she knew about it's dangers. just outside of the tree line in which she was transported to after clicking on a mysterious video link when she originally just wanted to watch her favorite episode one last time, on the night of her tenth birthday.

She wanted to tell the Mane Six, about her situation in the fullest instead of giving them a rather vague summary of it, something just felt off. Elizabeth had not particularly lied to them aside from not mentioning that she used to be a human in a large city scape called England. There she viewed their very world as a fictional place just before she came here by unconventional means.

Honestly, Elizabeth was afraid of their reaction what would you do if you were told that your entire world was not real. It was for these thoughts that had denied her the blissful release of sleep which eluded her grasp. That combined with her insomnia made falling asleep very difficult especially on this night.

As she was currently looking out of one of the windows in Princess Twilight Sparkle's home, the Golden Oaks library a place that would be destroyed by Tirek soon. Elizabeth had already been informed of Twilight's plan for her to live on Sweet Apple Acres with the Apple Family as an Earth Pony. This was until she learned more about magic along with flying that she could defend herself along with never being that maig drained again.

Applejack was not inclined to the idea at first because it would mean that she would have to possibly lie to her family. When Elizabeth told the Element of Honesty that we could explain it as she was a filly that had grown through a magical accident. Which sent her to Ponyville by accident, after all foals of her age should have been closer to the Cutiemark Crusaders size.

So it technically was not lying to them rather leaving out a few small details for now that would be revealed much later on. After the alicorn suggested this explanation, Applejack complied that since she would not be forced to lie then she was alright with it. Allowing Elizabeth stay at the farm as long as she worked the fields similarly to how most her family did she certainly had the background for it.

She accepted this saying that she had always earned what she received through much hard work her through out entire life time. Rarity offered to make her a jacket to hide her wings from many prying eyes along with a campaign hat (similar to what rangers wear). They had a small strap at the bottom to make sure it did not fall off the owner's head it would also hide her horn.

Elizabeth also chose that hat due to how my main would look with it on making it appear less wild. The campaign hat was going to be dark brown while the jacket with a hood would be a few different colors of blue to reflect her eyes. It would take at least a day for the articles of clothing to be made, right along side her birthday party.

The event was not be held in partial secrecy depsite what type of pony Elizabeth was it would make her look suspicious. Although it annoyed the pink party planning earth pony, Pinkie Pie, it did give her the chance to throw a birthday party for a none royal alicorn.
That would be held in private like some kind of wild party mix, the bubbly earth pony's word not mine as a motivation for putting in more effort than usual.

Elizabeth was actually excited that one of her favorite characters, along with being a new friend she had none growing up. Pinkie Pie was going to be planning her twelfth birthday party which would commence in a few more hours in the morning. It was still hard to believe that she had someone been transported to the land of Equestria.

She looked up at the night sky admiring the placement of the stars similar to how she would back in England only the stars could be seen more clearly. Unlike that night time sky this one was crafted by the Princess of the Night, Luna who's special talent reflected her moving the moon. That was bring upon the night time scene present before her along with governing the dream realm helping those who were having nightmares.

Elizabeth looked forward to seing her first ever Equestrian sunrise when the Princesses moved the Sun along with the Moon to transition to the bright Day. That would of course be in a few hours so either she would fall asleep or stay up for the rest of the night. She was interrupted from her thoughts when she saw a strange figure flying through the night sky for just a moment.

It disappeared once Elizabeth blinked, she concluded it must be the lack of sleep getting to her making imaginary figures appear either that or Owlicious. Just before she went to a guest bedroom that Twilight had showed her earlier that night of her arrival. Elizabeth began to think about how she could effect this world what would be the worst outcome possible right now.

A single thought crossed her mind 'This world may take a slightly different course from the show I had once watched, due to me being present in it. I can not let it stray to far from it's original course unless it is absolutely necessary it let Equestria fall into a bad future. I will do my best to aid it in staying as close to the original plan as possible this is definetly going to be a large challenge. I sure am lucky that I basically memorized the episodes memory training did help with that as it stretched my limits.

The time gapes in between them will not be as small as in the show it may be a few weeks before the next epslisode begins. I would have to get through the time periods by bonding my friendship with Mane 6 in the meantime. Still I have to keep my paranoia in check do not want to freak them out when they start to trust me.'

Elizabeth was successful in her second attempt to fall asleep it felt nice being able to relax on the guest bedroom bed getting her thoughts out of the way. However, she was unaware that the mysterious figure she saw was observing her from a distance changing their position to avoid the young alicorn's gaze. When she previously looked up at the night sky, the figure was quite thankful that she had passed it off due to her fatigue something that happened just in time.

The one who was observing the young alicorn was Princess Luna, she wanted to get a good look at her departed friend's great great granddaughter. It was to see how close they were in appearances aside from her being without a cutiemark on her flanks. It shocked Luna that the only difference in appearance was their eyes the unicorn she knew had dark blue eyes while this alicorn had blue eyes that contained shades of blur that ranged from aquamarine to midnight blue.

It was still hard to believe they were two different ponies since their appearances were nearly identical. Due to thay fact when Luna first spotted the alicorn it reminded her of when she had first met Elizabeth the Unicorn many years ago. Luna had dealt with many tedious taxes the whole night which caused her great stress so she had decided to go for a quick flight all those years ago.

Luna was still sore back then that no matter where she looked she couldn't find a single pony that would look up at the night. She had put time into creating it made her pretty angry each time there was no one to admire her hard work. Luna was definitely distraught when she finally spotted a lone unicorn looking up at the night sky from a small balcony with hopeful eyes.

She was so excited that she forgot the many times her older sister had scolded her for behaving very unrefined. It would happen often when Luna was just trying to get ponies to appreciate her. She them proceeded to fly quickly toward the red unicorn that was up quite late not noticing her rapid speed.

Luna almost crashed into the unicorn when she didn't notice how fast she was flying toward the young looking individual.
She did however try to stop once she saw the unicorn was rather alarmed at the presence that quickly approached her that fateful night. Eliza had actually used her magic to make Princess Luna stop in her aerial tracks which took a large amount of effort.

It was difficult to slow down something moving at such a high speed pace flying toward her with being left with only a few seconds to respond. After some rather awkward introductions between the two mares the mood settled down. Luna apologized explaining that Elizabeth was one of the only ponies that she had ever seen who had taken a moment to look at the night sky.

Instead of sleeping through her beautiful display of her talent it was nice to see some pony looking at the night sky. Luna was ecstatic that Elizabeth was paying attention through out the whole conversation. Most other ponies would feel a large pressure talking to one of the ruling princesses.

While the young alicorn ranted about how she was very jealous that most subjects always stated how much they loved the bright cheerful day her sister Celestia brought. The newly acquainted unicorn listened to her woes trying to remain calm in the rather unusual situation that she was now apart of. Luna realized that she had told one of her supposed subjects about all those years of her night being ignored.

Along with stating that she was quite jealous of her older sister, she worried how this unicorn would see her now. This is when Elizabeth stated 'That everypony feels jealousy no matter how great, and that she could imagine having to keep all these feelings locked up do to Luna's position so she would not judge her words. After all she enjoyed listening to others helping them to work through problems as long as they gave permission.'

Luna always thought back to their conversations which she suspected that kept her from turning into Nightmare Moon sooner than that night. It was those conversations that helped to keep her sane while she waited for a thousand years trapped on the moon. The only thought she regretted was not listening to her friend sooner along with not being able to apologize for putting her through the dilemma of watching their fight.

Now she could not make amends with her friend now, it pained her every time she had to come to terms with this dreadful fact. Which continued to torment her when she almost mistook the alicorn for her friend while spying on the individual. It took every ounce of her will power to not fly head first to the mare like during her first meeting with her old friend. Luna had to remind her self that a thousand years had passed from that awful night they still left fresh scars.

It hurt to recall these memories she would rather leave buried deep down instead of forcing herself to use it to distinguish the alicorn from her friend. She was happy to notice they both shared a definite appreciation for the night time sky she had brought along with raising the moon. This helped to ease the slight guilt she felt for necessarily spying on the confused fellow alicorn that had just fallen asleep. Luna was determined to help the young mare with controlling her powerful magic considering she was raised by earth ponies.

Theu could only teach her about precision in musical pursuits that her family, Lystor, was known for along with historical knowledge. The dark color theme alicorn doubted many knew about the Lystor Family legacy since they had ultimately disappeared from many lengths of Equestrian historical records. Since only Luna knew Elizabeth the first personally she had more accurate knowledge on answers for the possible questions.

Luna could be asked by the red alicorn, but something worried her about attending Elizabeth's party. From what she understood it was customary to bring a gift for the birthday mare. This was going to be rather challenging considering she barely knew any information about Elizabeth's interests.

She didn't know what kind of present she could give to Elizabeth due to not knowing what path the red alicorn had chosen to pursue of her own accord. Along with Twilight's friends must have already been well acquainted with Elizabeth so she had to be a specific.

Luna thought 'I am going to help her with learning magic along with being able to fly soon, yet that doesn't really sound like a suitable present. I should ask Tia with getting advice on this once I get back to Canterlot, ... I wonder if his violin would suffice after all it technically belongs to the Lystor family after all plus she is the only recently founded member of that family.'


Meanwhile at Sugarcube Corner on the farther side of Ponyville, in the upper levels of the bakery, you will see a very frustrated pink earth pony who was at her wits end trying to come up with the perfect party for her new friend. She hardly knew a thing about the alicorn aside from the fact her family had Musical talent, and Historical knowledge... A musical history party now Pinkie had definitely never thrown a party with a theme like that before.
