"I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS"

"Twilight calm down plea-" I called out desperately, only to be interrupted by Twilight as she spun around to meet me.

"Calm down! CALM DOWN! MOONDANCERS GET-TOGETHER IS TODAY -AND I KNOW YOU KNOW HOW INPORTANT THIS IS TO HER- AND PRINCESS CELESTIA WANTS US TO GO TO A BACKWATER TOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE TO HELP PREPARE FOR A CELEBRATION THAT MANY MORE QUALIFIED PONIES HAVE DONE FOR LITERALLY A THOUSAND YEARS!" She yelled, scaring both Smoke and Spike.

If you are wondering what's going on, well congratulations! We have finally reached the pilot episodes of My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic. Things have already changed drastically from canon already. For one Twilight -due to having more friends and frequently hanging out with them- has not read or realized the legend of Nightmare Moon. It is this reason for why she was surprised by Celestia assigning us to Ponyville for the Summer Sun Celebration.

When Moondancer invited us to her get-together a few days ago we gladly accepted, and Twilight and the group have grown closer over the years. Are you starting to get the point? If you aren't she is upset because we got royal orders to oversee a celebration in a quote unquote "Backwater town" and this upset Twilight because neither of us will be able to go to Moondancers gathering.

"Twi I know you're upset, but we can make it up. Look we'll meet up with Moondancer and the others, drop off the gifts we got for everypony, and go prepare the celebration. Then when we're done we'll come back and make plans for the next day." I said, making Twilight think for a moment. Another thing that is different about her is that she is a lot more patient and calm than her canon counterpart.

Twilight calmed down and conceded and started walking over to pack up her things for the trip. While she did that Spike and Smoke followed me as I started to help them pack their things as well. Despite her being more friendly and close with everyone, Twilight and Spikes relationship is still that of a brother/assistant role. Twilight was five when Spike was born and obviously didn't have the same extra maturity and understanding that I got, so she wouldn't have been able to properly take care of him.

Another thing was Smoke. He was very similar to Spike in terms of personality, childish and very boyish. He also was slightly larger and taller, mostly because I would sneak to hunt for meat for him to eat. What? It's obvious that he is a carnivore. Look at the teeth that dragons have. A dragon can survive on gems, but they won't grow any larger on them alone. I would tell Twilight this, but I don't know how she will react to the idea of killing something, even if it was to feed Spike.

We all finished up packing our small bags and left the house to meet up with Moondancer and the other.


When we get there we see the Moondancer, Cadence, and Flash sitting around a table. When they see us the three wave at us and we wave back. When we get closer they see our bags, though they don't say anything. It took a while before Flash of all people decides to speak up.

"So uh... What are the bags foe." He asks, Twilight hesitated for a few moments before speaking.

"Princess Celestia gave us an order to go to Ponyville to organize the Summer Sun Celebration, so we won't be able to stay here. We decided to stop by before we go to give some gifts to all of you." She said as we passed our gifts around. Moondancer looked disappointed but nodded in understanding.

"Before I forget, Cadence I want you to wait until I get back to open your gift." I said, to which she nodded. We said our goodbyes as I charged up a teleportation spell, and in a flash we were gone.


When the flash was gone we were at the Ponyville station. Now if you're wondering why I can teleport here so easily, it's because I go to the Everfree forest to hunt for Smokes food. That and Whitetail woods.

As we walked through the streets of the town, Spike went through the list as I thought about the coming battle. Would I be able to win? I could defiantly be able to hold off Nightmare Moon until Twilight and the others get to the elements. But would they be able to even use them? This Twilight is so much different from her canon counterpart that she may not become friends with the other elements. Would that effect if they were able to use the elements?

"I just don't know."

"What was that Zeppy?" Twilight asked.

"Oh I was just saying that I should probably go to the library we're staying at to get some stuff ready for the celebration." I lied, I need some time to prepare.

"Ok, I'll take Spike and Smoke with me while you do that." She said happily.


It has been a few hours since I got to the library, I practiced my magic a little bit and read a few spell books. Suddenly I heard a knock at the door. I got up and opened it, only for a hoard of ponies to rush past me and knock me over. When I got up I felt my hoof and by extension myself pulled as the lights went off.

When they came on the ponies yelled out their welcome while Pinkie got in Twilights face about how surprised she was. While everyone was distracted by this I took the opportunity to slip away upstairs away from the party.


About two hours later I came down to see everyone leaving the party. Unlike canon Twilight seemed to actually enjoy the party. I walked over to her to see her smiling as she said goodbye to the other elements. They seemed to be more friendly than in canon so that's good.

After a short while we sat in the back of the crowd that waited for the celebration to begin. I tuned out both Mayor Mares little opening speech and everyone freaking out over Celestia's disappearance. I zoomed back into focus when Nightmare Moon started forming. Smirking a little I stealthily crawled over to the back. When she finally formed I listened intently to her speech.

"Ah. It's good to see your sun loving faces at last." She began(AN: Look I know that's probably not what she said, but I don't actually watch mlp, I just enjoy fans interpretations of the characters, so I don't know specifics, I swear I'll take time to watch it at some point) with a saucy smirk.

"Who are you?" Twilight asked, making Nightmares smirk grow wider.

"I am Nightmare Moon, and the night shall-"

"Be a pain in my ass." I interrupted calmly, before shooting her through the wall with a blast of magic.
