My Little Pony Generation 5 (Revised)
Missing Princess Part 2
Previous ChapterNext Chapter"Where could she have gone?" Cadance wondered, very confused as to how her daughter isn't in the palace. "Was she kidnapped?"
"I'm sure she's safe honey, she's a strong girl after all." Shining Armor comforted his wife.
"Yes, we just need to focus and think about where she could have gone to." Twilight added as the rest of the royal leaders were very concerned by this.
"I hope Flurry's okay." The Changeling leader, Thorax wondered out loud.
"Yak was eager to watch Princess getting crown, now Yak very annoyed!" Prince Rutherford snorted.
"Well than we just need to think about where they could have gone to." Queen Skystar spoke up.
"Well, they all went to the School of Friendship..." Dragon Lord Ember thinking.
Meanwhile...
Flurry's teleportation spell brought her and her six friends to a more quieter place than the Crystal Empire currently was, a place that had rolling green hills and fields all around, and in the middle of that, a small town, with a few large structures. It was the town of Ponyville, which was like a second home to Flurry, after all, this was where her Auntie Twily lived before taking her grand aunties Celestia and Luna's jobs in Canterlot.
"Ponyville, sweet Ponyville..." Flurry sighed, breathing in the fresh air.
"Yeah, feels kinda of good to be here honestly." Smoky added as he and the rest of the group walked up to see the town.
More towards the back of the town was Princess Twilight's castle, as well as the School of Friendship, both still in good condition and running. The school, especially, held special meaning for Flurry's friends, since they all attended it at the same time, that's how they became friends after all.
"How about we walk by the school?" Teresa suggested.
"Good idea, it'll be a nice trip down memory lane." Feather agreed.
And the group began going down towards the school, ponies going about their business as many of them noticed Flurry Heart, waving or bowing, which Flurry nervously smiled at as all the attention towards her felt uncomfortable.
"Now this is exactly what I'm not looking froward to during my coronation..." Flurry sighed.
"You're a princess Flurry, everyone loves them." Rose reminded her. "At least you have six friends who wouldn't treat you like that."
"Thanks Rose, that makes me feel a little better." Flurry replied back as they approached the school.
"So many wonderful memories..." Abby sighed happily as the group all sat by the edge of the small pond by the school's entrance.
"Khan agrees, feels like just yesterday we were here." Khan stated.
"I still remember when we all met each other, on Friends and Family Day, so many years ago..." Flurry smiled as she brought her memory back when she was around eight years of age...
About ten years ago...
It was a bright, sunny day and at the School of Friendship, the first day of a new school year began as the school, now being maintained by headmare Starlight Glimmer, opened its doors after the summer break. The new, as well as returning group of students filed in, excited to start another or first year at the school. As the students came in, along them were some non-ponies, rather other creatures from the surrounding lands...
"Why do I have to attend this school while the other dragons get to stay behind?" Smoky asked, rather annoyed at Dragon Lord Ember.
"Because as your dragon lord, I'm ordering you to be here." Ember said sternly. "And that's final!"
"Whatever..." Smoky huffed.
"Hey Ember!" Thorax called out as she spotted a familiar changeling.
"Hey Thorax!" Ember called back, the tall male changeling coming up with a shorter female changeling. "Teresa, aren't you going to say hello to Dragon Lord Ember?"
"Hey..." Teresa said, a little rudely.
"I'm very sorry about her, she can be quite rude towards others." Thorax stated, a little disappointed. "That's why I pushed to have her attend the school."
"Don't blame you, that's why Smoky is here too." Ember replied.
Meanwhile, just coming in now was Abby, with Grandpa Guff having brought her to her first day, the young female griffon very nervous to be away from her family and griffonstone.
"Grandpa Guff, are you sure this is a good idea?" Abby asked hhim
"Well if Gallus came out alright, you can too." Grandpa Guff told her.
A couple of seconds after Grandpa Guff finished speaking, something suddenly rammed into him from the back, nearly knocking him off his talons as Abby jumped up in fright at first, before hiding herself with her wings over her face.
"Yak sorry about that.." Prince Rutherford's voice came out. "Khan, what did we talk about?"
"Khan sorry about knocking over griffon, just excited for school." Khan apologized.
"Well I hope you learn to watch where you're going." Grandpa Guff said in annoyance.
Meanwhile, already inside, two hippogriffs were standing aside, one of them, the younger one, a bit nervous to reach out.
"Your majesty, are you sure I'm old enough for the school, I know I agreed to come here, it's just..." Feather Tang said nervously. "It's a lot more crowded and anxious than I thought it was going to be."
"Now Feather, we talked about this, you're ready and besides the school needs at least one hippogriff." Queen Skystar told her son. "I know you're a lot less energetic and out going than me, but I promise you that you will have fun and learn a lot, why don't you go out into the crowd and try to make a first friend?"
"Sure..." Feather sighed and did as his queen instructed.
Feather walked forward, keeping his head more down, looking towards the ground, only looking up once in awhile so he wouldn't bump into anyone or anything, but well fate would have it that he would collide with someone. And Feather did as he didn't expect it, falling down as the someone he bumped into turned around.
"Oh, I'm so sorry, are you alright?" A female's voice said to Feather as Feather looked up to see a red unicorn filly, with a yellow mane and tail, reaching out a hoof for him to take and help him back up on his claws.
"Oh, I'm alright, it's my fault, I wasn't looking where I was going..." Feather apologized as he took the hoof and was helped up. "I hope I didn't hurt you..." Feather continued as he found himself blushing.
"No, I'm alright, my name's Blooming Rose, by the way." The unicorn greeted Feather.
"My name's Feather Tang... " Feather said slowly, swallowing a lump in his throat. "Man, she's pretty..." Feather looked back to see his queen with a smile, looking at him.
"Well, I should get to my dad, he's currently speaking to one of the teachers right now." Rose informed Feather. "I'll see you later Feather Tang."
"You too..." Feather returned, feeling some sweat run down.
While that was happening and the six new students, as well as all the others were inside, another group of ponies entered, clearly having came from far to be here as the headmare came up to greet them...
"Twilight! It's so good to see you again!" Headmare Starlight greeted one of the visitors with a hug. "What are you all doing here?"
"It's good to see you too Starlight." Twilight smiled. "I'm just here to see how the school's doing and so far it looks like you're running things here perfectly."
"And we came for the same thing as well." Cadance joined in, being one of the visitors as well.
"Yeah, with how busy things are in the Crystal Empire, we decided we all should come to Ponyville for some rest and well turns out we met Twilight at the station." Shining Armor added. "And plus, Flurry loves seeing the school."
Yes, Cadance and Shining Armor brought along their growing young daughter, who was turning into quite the spitting image of her mother, starting to look more mature, but still very childish, after all, she was going to be the newest princess of the Crystal Empire when she becomes 18 years of age.
"Hey Auntie Starlight!" Flurry said happily as she gave her honorary auntie a hug.
"It's nice to see you too Flurry. "Starlight returned. "And man, you're growing up really fast, grow up too much and you'll end up being taller than me!"
"Awww, come on Auntie Starlight, you're making me blush." Flurry blushed slightly while breaking off the hug.
"Oh, I should get to officially starting the year." Starlight remembered.
"Well don't let me keep you waiting." Twilight urged Starlight as the headmare walked up in front of the crowd of new and returning students, as well as their parents/guardians and cleared her throat before speaking.
"Attention everyone." Starlight called, everyone stopping their current conversations to listen to the headmare. "I am very happy to welcome you all to a new year at the School of Friendship, to teach everything about the subject to all the students. Now once you get your class assignments, head on down to them and at the end of the day, we'll be having our annual Friends and Family Day for everyone to get more acquainted with each other, I hope to see everyone there!"
And with that announcement, everyone cheered before the students got their class assignments and started the day...
