(Twilight's POV)
Ugh I can't believe my parents keeping me at home all the time. I never been outside I only read about it even the windows are boarded up. I feel like their hiding something from me like the world!
"I hate being a Princess!" I yelled throwing my crown across the room. I crawled in a corner and start to cry when I felt a hoove tap my shoulder. I looked up to see Shinning Armor the Captain of the Royal Guard. Shinning was always there for me like a brother and since I have no one to play with he took me under his wing. Well he doesn't have wings thought but you get what I mean.
"Hey Twiley, I found this on the floor during my patrol I believe it's yours." Shinning levitated the crown onto my head and pulled me into a hug. I cried on his shoulder which I never did, Dad told me crying is a weakness so I never cried in front of him or mom. I finally stopped crying after an hour or so and wiped my tears away.
"Shinning can I ask you something?" Shinning Armor looked down at me and smiled.
"Anything." I was scared if he said no and told on my parents but this is my BBBFF.
"Can you take me to the outside world please it's all I ever wanted!" I felt tears running down my cheeks again as I looked into Shinning's blue eyes. I felt him tense up a little bit then calmed back down and smiled at me.
"Only if you don't tell your parents." He said yes! I jumped up and down so happy to see the world but Shinning shushed me. I tried to teleport us out of the castle but my magic wasn't that strong yet so Shinning teleported us. In a flash of white light we teleported out into the world and away from the castle. I felt something soft under me I jumped up to see grass, real grass! I rolled around in it for a few minutes then saw Shinning waiting for me. When I was running to him I felt my mom's sun on my face which felt so good and hot!
"Come on Twiley you haven't seen nothing yet." I ran right next to Shinning, he teleported us somewhere in Equestria. I looked around to see a sign that read: Welcome to PonyVille, hope you enjoy your stay! ah so we're in Ponyville I read that there's lots of entertainment here and other stuff like fashion. I trotted over to a Boutique without Shinning he said he would wait for me. I opened the door causing a bell to jingle and a filly to appear.
"Hello I'm Rarity and welcome to my sister's Boutique!" The filly unicorn looked about the same age as Twilight and she had a purple mane with a shiny white coat.
"Hello Rarity I'm Princess Twilight Sparkle, pleased to meet you." When she heard Princess she automatically started to freak out and bowed down to me. I kinda feel uncomfortable when ponies bow down in front of me but it would be rude if I didn't bow back. I bowed and rose back and up used my magic to fix my crown.
"What can we do for you today maybe something for your mother?" I totally forgot mother's day was this Friday which is only three days away! Rarity probably could see the distress on my face so she ran inside her shop. When she returned she had a pink slippers with mom in red stitching on them. I grabbed with me magic and gave her two bits than started to head back to Shinning.
"Darling you look way more beautiful than in the pictures!" Rarity trotted around me looking me over causing me to blush.
"Um I got to go but it was a pleasure meeting you Rarity." I flew back over to where Shinning Armor was waiting. I showed him the slippers I got for Mom he picked them up and put them on him.
"I think I might get a pair for myself because they make me look beautiful!" Shinning sang the last part making me giggle. I used my magic to take them off him and put them back in my saddle bag.
"I'm hungry! BBBFF do you know any place we can eat at?" I felt my tummy growl, right now at the castle it would be feeding time. The food there was great and all but it was the same thing everyday some hay shaped into a crown with olives for the crystals.
"Hmm the Hay Burger would be a good place or Sugar Cube Corner. Which one sounds better to you Twiley?" Shinning wrapped his hoove around my shoulder.
"What about Sugar Cube Corner!" I jumped up and Shinning teleported us in front of a Gingerbread house? We walked in to be greeted by a hyper filly with crazy pink hair and coat.
"HithereImPinkiePiebutmyfriendscallmyPinkiesoyoucancallmePinkietoifyouwant!" Pinkie started jumping up and down not standing still for one second.
"Hi there Pinkie, I'm Princess Twilight Sparkle pleased to meet you." I bowed and got up to see her jaw touching the floor literary!
"OMCyouraPrincessofcourseyouareImeannoteveryponyhaswingsandahornsowhatcanIgetyou?" Pinkie kept on bouncing up and down which was starting to make me sick. Shinning walked in front of me a to order for us.
"Hey Pinkie can we get two cupcakes to go?" Shinning got out one bit and handed it to Pinkie. She grabbed it in her mouth and hopped over and came back with two brown bags on her head. Shinning used his magic to grab the two bags and walked out.
"Bye Pinkie it was a pleasure meeting you!" I ran out before I got stuck listening to her life story or something. I looked around and couldn't find find Shinning anywhere. After looking for a while I was about to give up when something crashed into me.
"Hey there sorry about that, I was trying to do a Sonic Rainboom!" A cyan pegasus with a rainbow mane that was a little ruffled up stood in front of me.
"OMG your Princess Twilight Sparkle please don't execute me!" I just rolled my eyes at the pegasus in front of me begging for her head.
"I'm not going to execute or anything to you ok?" The pegasus stopped hugged my hoove and got up and dusted herself off.
"I'm Rainbow Dash a future Wonderbolt!" I didn't feel like listening about her dream so I started to walked away. Rainbow Dash followed me of course I must have not been looking where I was going because I jumped into something. Or somepony.
"Watch where yer going partner! Everypony ok?" A earth pony with a an orange coat and yellowish white mane helped me up.
"Why your an Alicorn so you must be Princess Twilight Sparkle! I'm Apple Jack pleased to meet ya." Apple Jack grabbed my hoove shakes it hard and let go. Rainbow Dash flew in front of me and glared at Apple Jack.
"Apple Jack..."
"Rainbow Crash, I bet yer crash into her am I right?" Apple Jack grinned as Rainbow turned away and turn a deep shade of red.
"She did in fact but she said she was sorry so all is forgiven." The ponies still glared at each other. I used my magic to teleport me away to a cottage? Animals were everywhere and bird houses and feeders sat on trees.
"Thank you Sir so much for getting Angel down for me." I barely heard what the pony said but all I cared was I found Shinning Armor. I ran over to him scaring the pony in a little ball.
"Shinning I found you! Why are you here?" I looked him in the eyes and then sat down next to the pony who was still in a ball.
"Fluttershy here had a bunny stuck in the tree so I used my magic to bring him down to her." That was sweet and all but isn't she a Pegasus so she could have flew up there.
"Doesn't she have wings?" Shinning looked over at the pony and back at me.
"Yes but she's afraid of heights." I jumped back at what I heard, a Pegasus afraid of heights it's a cruel joke.
"Your telling the truth?" I looked him in the eyes to see if he was trying to look everywhere except me but he wasn't.
"The honest truth, now let's left poor Fluttershy by herself. Goodbye Fluttershy!" Shinning called out and then used his magic to teleport us back into the castle.
"That was so fun thank you BBBFF!" I jumped around him smiling.
"I hope it was because you are not leaving this castle until your 21 missy!" My father's voice echoed off the walls making me jump. My father walked to me with a disappointed look on his face, Shinning jumped in front of me.
"Sir be angry at me I broke protocol Twilight told me it was wrong but I didn't listen." Dad walked up to Shinning making it face to face and used his magic to rip off Shinning's badge.
"Get out off my castle and Equestria while your at it! You put my daughter in danger what if Chrysalis was out with her hive. I don't what to see your face or hear your name ever again, guards take him out!" Two guards came in and grabbed Shinning and pushed him out and the castle and my life. It was all my fault I lost the pony that I could trust. I ran to my room ignoring my father's calls, I need to be alone. I pushed past my mom and ran in my room and locked the door. And for the second time that day I cried...
Nobody's POV
Queen Chrysalis sat on her throne thinking of ways to kill Sombra. Then she thought an idea a horrible one at that.
"Martinis get my hive ready!" She yelled at her captain. Chrysalis played with the broken horn in her hoove.
"We should probably return this to Sombra. Ha ha ha ha!"
