Elizabeth had always dealt with a great struggle whenever she attempted to fall asleep at night. Regardless if she was stressed about her next large performance on stage. Just going to be the one in charge of cooking that night she had always struggled with insomnia. It made falling asleep rather difficult even in a really soft bed alongside her polar plush 'warriors'.

This led to her teleporting outside of the red barn the Apple family lived in so Elizabeth not wanting to disturb her hosts. She searched through the apple orchard for a clearing where she could watch the stars which would always help her. Whenever she was not able fall asleep in her comfy room it helped to sooth her stressed nerves. However, each time she looked up at the Equestrian night she always noticed one star.

That just stood out in the countless cluster of possibly thousands of them, this particular star was right below the the moon. It was the closest star to the moon except it shined the demist along all the others even close to the moon. This was a bit perplexing seeing as how it was still ways away from the moon for some odd reason that she could not understand. This lone star looked as though it was quite sad which sounded ludicrous since stars were not alive.

Elizabeth had to remind herself this was the land of Equestria where magic was a very common topic to discuss. The night was pretty silent not even grasshoppers were chirping something she heard happened pretty often at nightfall. Elizabeth then heard a slight flap of wings in the background about two hundred feet away from her.

The location that the sound originated from was outside of the clearing hidden by apple trees. She had a sneaking suspicion of who may have been in the area at in the dead of night. The very same mare who decided where to place the stars in the night sky, Princess Luna.

She decided to confront the alicorn non violently there had to be a valid reasob for her to do this. Elizabeth exclaimed "It sure is a lovely night, to look upon at this time always so clear it does aid with my insomnia. Although you must be aware of that fact ever since my first night here due to the lack of my dream appearing in the hallway of dream doors. Your placement has always shown the amount of detail you put into deciding where each star goes it truly is a spectacle.

In many attributes it is also astonishing how you are able to do this each night, don'tyou agree my dear Princess Luna. This is the second time you have been caught in some way observing me at night I humbly suggest that you take care. In either observing from a cloud so no one hears the flapping of your wings.

Along with using teleportation in a dark portion of the sky so you blend into the background while if you are up close. Then make sure the pony you are observing is not looking in the direction you are coming from. Also I recommend asking questions instead of using your unique talents to tell when I am conscious.

And then making the effort to locate my where abouts along with making the effort to fly to that location with the consideration. That you take in observing how I react when I change the area of the sky that I am looking at every few minutes." The dark blue coated alicorn mare flew from her hiding spot in the apple trees soon after Elizabeth finished her piece.

Thee Princess of the Night looked away quite embarrassed that Elizabeth had been able to detect her presence. Due to an over site in how loud her wing beats would sound to the younger alicorn mare who was star gazing. Princess Luna noticed that Elizabeth was wearing the same jacket the Element of Generosity had made for her two days ago.

On the mare's birthday it's purpose was to contain the other alicorn's wings to give her the appearance of a unicorn. This was rather confusing seeing as how the two were alone at the moment. She decided that it would be rather rude to not apologize right there so she drummed an explanation in as well.

Princess Luna said "We are quite sorry for inadvertently interrupting your star gazing during this wonderful night. Although there was a particular area we could not help to notice that you seem quite entranced with. We cannot figure out exactly which area you seem so interested in we believ that now we both are alone it would be best to talk about 'her'. We feel as though you must be informed first on how your great great grandmother had such an impact...

On our years before transforming into the form that many ponies still come to fear even after a few years since our thankful arrival. You see your ancestor would often listen to the many doubts we had against our sister. She would always listen to the many thoughts ...I had over many years, she was a true friend.

I put her through a great pain the night of my terrible banishment period. Just before confronting my sister she tried to warn me of what could happen if I had failed to beat my older sister. In refusing to listen to her warnings which may have very well changed the course of history. She warned of how the elements of harmony may have been used as a last resort by my sister in the fight.

She was the only other pony to witness Celestia banishing us to the moon over a thousand years ago. She and I had grown to become rather good friends over the ten years that I had know her... I must tell you that aside from your multi layered blue eyes along with wings and blank flank you two look remarkably alike also you speak and act nearly identical to each other."

Elizabeth patiently listened as Princess Luna recounted the many stories about how they would stay up exchanging stories about the stress she felt. Along with how guilty Luna felt about leaving her dear friend behind. It became worse once she returned knowing there was nothing she could do now. After witnessing such a terrible event that led to her thousand year absence.

She only has Elizabeth's the firsts journal left It was interesting for Elizabeth to hear about her great great grandmother. Although she was unsure to consider this world's version odd as her ancestor because she never knew the human one. Due to Luna describing how her ancestor was somehow able to disappear with out a trance in the blink of an eye. Luna was a bit reluctant to admit that Elizabeth did
that quite often to scare a younger version of the lunar princess.

This made an idea pop that her grandmother was able to possibly move from Equestria to the human world. That would explain her grandfather's stories about the person she was named after having sudden depression for many years. Apparently, Elizabeth the first had a carefree life so why would she get depressed, then came her death.

There was a fire that originally burned down the large family house with her having fallen asleep during the catastrophe body burned to ash. They had to move into the smaller house in a more crowded part of England, it her feel sad whenever that story was told. Elizabeth asked if her ancestor ever mentioned a large city scape called England, that would confirm the idea.

She also asked if Elizabeth the first had a unique accent that seemed strange when compared to the rest of her family. Luna was quite shocked because her friend described a place with the same name on multiple occasions along with her speak being quite unique in many aspects, along with words that had to be defined. That confirmed it as far as she knew there was no version of England in this world not even one with a equine themed name.

Elizabeth explained "Alright, I am going to tell you are our secret of where we were originally from I am trusting you not to tell any pony about this. That includes even Princess Celestia, and Twilight so please listen closely. The truth is my ancestor, and I were notborn as ponies at the start we used to be a species called humans who are apes. England is our home town in the human world called Earth, but there is something else I must tell you I believe there is something else to our species.

When I was growing up I always had this odd feeling to hide escpecially in large crowds it may just be nothing, just keep that in mind as well. My great great grandmother came here by choice so she was able to go back and forth between each world whenever she felt like it. I am in a different situation due to wishing I could permanently stay in Equestria. This is because of the unbearable amount of pressure they put on me each year I was forced to bear which became to much for myself.

Elizabeth the first must have left something behind for me to come here because by luck I was somehow able to enter this world. While my other attempts were unsuccessful I believe she also wanted me to tell you that she forgives for that night all those years ago. After all I can tell that star next to the moon is actually her, you name stars after those closest to you once they past correct. Along with that I suppose that we should try to learn more about her maybe in the near future I could take a look at her journal that you have."

Luna nodded confirming both of the red alicorn's suspicion, there were some details she was not completely sure on at this time. Although they felt like the correct ones to say to the alicorn before her in the clearing. The older alicorn had a right to know all of this her ancestor had been a close friend after all plus that guilt could lead to future problems.

She could tell that Luna was going through all the information she had just heard from her fellow mare. They spent around a hour discussing a few major details about England. It surprised the Princess of the Night when Elizabeth explained the city London which was her home town. Luna was excited to hear about the ancient clock Big Ben along with discussing the pound sterling currency instead using bits like Equestria.

Elizabeth enjoyed talking about London the capital city of England, something that she missed was the large buildings they were well built. Although she tended to stand out a bit in conversations due to her pretty weak accent something pretty unique in the heart of the country. Unlike most from London she did not have a strong accent when talking the reason being that her father was from the United States.

Her mom was from England which was very rare to find a relationship similar to her parents along with her dad staying for his true love. Princess Luna promised not to tell a soul any thing of what they discussed that night Elizabeth actually made a Pinkie Pie promise. Judging from Luna's reaction she had never been informed about this sacred pack from if you were to break it even just by accident you would destroy your friendship with who ever you made the promise with FOREVER! She could feel that Pinkie Pie might have woken up at that very momment from one of her promises being explained without her.

However, just before Luna was about to take flight back to Equestria's capital city Elizabeth noticed the lonely star that was closest to the Moon. It was actually shining very brightly which confused both alicorns because before they began to discuss a certain topic that special star seemed to be dim. That star was Elizabeth the First's star so maybe she had actually listened and watched the meeting between the two alicorns.

Elizabeth was helping to perform maintenance on Sweet Apple Acres this had to do with her being able to use magic to mend cracks. In the main building on the apple farm it aided her in practicing magic feats such as levitation which was one of the most basic forms of magic all unicorns knew how to do. She took lessons from Twilight Sparkle every afternoon for about two weeks once she was finished doing her chores for the Apple family.

Elizabeth refused to accept living their for free due to always having to work for most things in her family which this mindset was basically drilled into her psyche. This helped that she was doing multiple tasks that she wasn't used to carrying out this kept her occupied for the period of time. Twilight Sparkle was quite surprised when teaching Elizabeth magic seeing as she had an exceptional talent for performing different types.

Although this talent did not help with the many frustrations the red alicorn felt once she couldn't replicate her attempts in performing a spell correctly. So she still needed practice to cast a spell it was lucky that she was starting to learn control slowly as well. However, flying was a different story her wings were still not adjusted to being maneuvered to allow take off.

They were still a bit stiff so Rainbow Dash pushed Elizabeth to often exercise wing strengthening techniques that showed much improvement. Only in the alicorns wing flexibility in a short amount of time it would be a while before she could actually learn how to fly. Fluttershy described taking off slowly to get her wings balanced so they could allow her to get a few feet off the ground first.

Then Elizabeth would be more prepared to fly higher once she had gotten experience on doing these exercises. A certain draconequus decided by removing gravity to parnk her during one of the yellow pegasus's tea parties while Elizabeth was taking care of Angel Bunny. Although Fluttershy only remembered she was outside taking care of a very grumpy rabbit until she heard a certain voice shout that Angel was getting motion sickness.

Discord was not informed thata Elizabeth was an alicorn so she could not use her wings. This prompted the meeting between the two to which Discord wasn't all to pleased about once he learned Fluttershy had a new friend. Elizabeth had to quickly explain she actually enjoyed the experience aside from Angel almost crashing into her.

Discord took this quite well due to not many ponies liking when he used his chaotic magic to change things aside from those who were well acquainted to him like Fluttershy. Each day passed quickly, it was mainly do to the fact she attempted to get to know more of the residents of Ponyville who each had many different quirks. This made each new friendship absolutely wonderful she also learned many things from each pony. Although she could only handle the excitement of some ponies for a limited time before getting on the verge to get a headache.

Elizabeth did her best not to be rude however sometimes she just required to go outside to clear her head. She had never had a personal connection with such a diverse group let alone making friends with them. It had been a while since Princess Luna had paid an informal visit to the red alicorn mare.

This was understandable do to her having royal duties to attend to yet this did raise the question of how she was able to observe Elizabeth on those two nights. The time period was also filled with Elizabeth getting to know Arctic, Crush and Tundra who were extremely loyal to her. She tried experimenting creating more living plushies although this didn't give the same results as when she had made the Polar trio the other plushes she summoned weren't as ... sentient the warriors she summoned could follow orders well yet they took it to literally.

This made Elizabeth appoint the Polar Trio as basically generals of her miniature army who could also transform like the originals just not as tall. They each had their own personalities, Crush a male elephant seal preferred to rush in head first along with having a rather testy temperament when his soldiers couldn't imitate his rolling. Tundra who was a female emperor penguin had a cold personality thinking things through before taking action with being defensive whenever Elizabeth received disrespect.

Arctic was a median between the other two he did come up with strategies along with following his instincts in some cases he also informed his Lady Elizabeth when one of the soldiers was injured with stuffing leaking out.

It was an apparent ability that the non-sentient warriors cold be shrunken down then placed in a satchel Elizabeth began to carry after making thirty soldiers for each platoon of soldiers who fit quite snugly in the leather container which barely weighed a thing since the plushies were light weight when shrunken down in size. When Elizabeth received an invitation from Pinkie Pie for a random holiday day party it was apparent that she had entered the season four episode "Daring Don't" which she kept a careful eye when they headed to A.K Yearling's shack to follow after Rainbow Dash who didn't want to wait for the next Daring Do book after its second set back for publishing date.

It played out exactly according to the show Daring Do was fighting thugs making sure they didn't get their hooves on the mystical golden ring, then Rainbow Dash constantly following Daring Do to provide her help until the color theme look alike pegasus was captured by Ahuizolt. However, instead of the Mane 6 cheering Rainbow Dash up Elizabeth had to give a pep talk to here where Rainbow Dash saved Daring Do from the piranhas then confronting Ahuizolt to get the ring back to her friends defending the thugs from getting the golden ring.

Elizabeth had to keep watch over evading the thugs who tried to pull a trick to stop Rainbow Dash and Daring Do from lifting the golden rings to make the fortress collapse inward to stop Ahuizolt from getting the original ring, she used her magic to command some of her penguin plush warriors to get in their way. They had to make a mad dash to escape the fortress as it began to crumble as soon as the final ring was lifted off the central rod, it was definitely different from just watching the episode on television although Elizabeth was able to get a souvenir from the fortress five of the smaller golden rings which she shrunk down to put in her satchel, it seemed like a waste to just leave them there after all, and on top off that she two received the latest Daring Do book from A.K Yearling that featured Rainbow Dash as a character.

Elizabeth made sure to return the five rings back to normal size once she was able to get back to get back to her room at Sweet Apple Acres, she hid them under her bed in a box labeled music sheets to practice for concerts so if any pony found it they would think it was music for her violin hopefully that would keep them from prying any further. Elizabeth thought about one day having a house of her own by earning bits to pay for the land needed to build her house with not asking the Apple Family to be concerned with her financial issue soon, she thought about applying for a job soon maybe help with babysitting some of the foals in town.

Elizabeth found time the next day to talk to Twilight about building her own house soon instead of staying at the Apple Family barn for a while so she could have a place of her own to be able to make of her own design, Twilight agreed that it was common to want a place of her own although there was a limit to getting a job due to her technical age. Elizabeth suggested doing small jobs like helping to gather gems for Rarity in case she needed assistance, along with possibly pet sitting Tank the Tortoise for Rainbow Dash when she needed to do weather control with the other Pegasi she also found a few other jobs to earn bits which were rather easy.

She spent a week saving up bits at her odd jobs earning a reasonable amount of bits each day making a total of seven hundred fifty bits which she stored in a large jar Twilight had laying around in the storage closet in the back of the Golden Oak library, she was quite proud of her work this made her feel independent.

Author's Note

Princess Luna normally talks using the royal we. Only when she recalls that night or is started will she forget to do it. Like how Zecora forgot tp rhyme when she got swamp fever.
