Changeling Kingdom 9:30am

In the changeling Kingdom, the changeling King known as Thorax was sitting on his throne room after an exhausting day at work managing his Kingdom and assisting his subjects on many stuffs.

"Wow, today was a very busy day for me." Thorax said wiping a sweat off of his head. He then looked down on his left at the small letter he got from Twilight last night, and Thorax knew what the letter is, the letter is known as a birthday letter, and today is his friend Twilight Sparkle's birthday. He activated his horn and levitated the letter in front of his face, he unfolded it and began to read it.

Dear Thorax
How are you doing my good friend? Busy with all of the hard work in your Kingdom? I have an announcement that I would like to tell you, and that is tomorrow is going to be my birthday! And my friends are going to come with food, drinks, banners, toys, games etc. And I would like to invite you along as well so that you can have the chance of forgetting about your hard work and your current studies on medical and biology. My birthday will be held in my castle at 10:00am. See you there!
From Twilight Sparkle

Thorax smiled after he has finished reading the letter. He already knew that today was Twilight's birthday because if he did not, what kind of a friend would he be? He then teleported the letter back into his room, after that, he spread his wings and glided off of his throne.

"Alright, guess I'll be going to Twilight's castle for today." Thorax said with a contented smile "But first, I need to grab the present first." He finished, then he ran to his bedroom.

Once Thorax has arrived to his bedroom door, he gripped onto the door handle with his magic and pushed it open. He then walked towards his desk and looked down at the Twilight plush doll he made by himself.

He activated his horn and levitated in front of his face and began to corroborate that it is perfect. He scrutinized the purple knitted areas and saw that no strings are out of place. The dark purple knitted hair and purple knitted horn were in place perfectly, his eyes then traveled to the eyes made of buttons, and he saw that the purple button on the left is a little out of place.

"Oops, let me fix that." Thorax said as he moved the purple button down a little, then everything was fixed.

"There we go, good as new." Thorax said with a warm smile. After that, he placed the doll in a small red gift box, he then closed the box with a cover and wrapped it with purple ribbon.

Once Thorax has finished all of those, he exited his room and walked to the exit of the Kingdom.

Once Thorax made his way to the front gate of his kingdom, he is first greeted by two male changeling guards who saluted when they saw their King.

"King Thorax!" The two guards said in unison.

"Hello there you two, I will be making my way to Twilight Sparkle's castle in Ponyville, I will be back in a couple of hours, and by the meantime, I would like you guards to safely guard our Kingdom with your friends." Thorax told them "Can you two do that?" He asked.

"We sure can your majesty." The blue coloured changeling guard said.

"Great!" Thorax said with a proud smile, after that, he walked out of the gate and spread his wings and took off to Ponyville.

28 minutes later

After the twenty minutes flight from the Changeling Kingdom to Ponyville, Thorax has officially made it to the front doors of Twilight Sparkle's castle in the nick of time.

"Phew, made it just in time." Throax said as he wiped some sweat away from his forehead.

He then walked up and stood in front of the two doors. He raised his right hoof and gently knocked on the door three times. Five seconds later, he got a reply.

"Coming!" Said a high pitched female voice.

Ten seconds later, the doors of Twilight Sparkle's castle opened and Thorax saw Pinkie Pie.

"Thorax!"

"Hey there Pinkie." Thorax greeted with a wave of his right hoof. "Has the party started yet?" He asked.

"It will begin in just one more minute, so you have just arrived in time!" Pinkie exclaimed happily.

Thorax gave out a of relief when he heard that he has just arrived in the nick of time.

"That's good to hear." Thorax said with a relieved smile.

"Indeed." Pinkie said with a nod and a proud smile towards her friend "Anyways, please come in." She finished as she stepped aside giving Thorax passage through.

"Thank you Pinkie." Thorax said as he entered.

Once he was in, Pinkie saw him with a red coloured gift box wrapped around in purple ribbon levitated with his magic.

"Ooooooooooo, did you get Twilight a present?" Pinkie asked with sparkling eyes.

"Yes it is." Throrax replied simply with a nod.

Pinkie got exhilarated when she heard the reply. She moved her face close to Thorax with sparkling eyes and a huge smile which caught him off guard.

"What is it? What is it? Is it a toy? A book? Or food?" Pinkie asked eagerly.

Thorax looked at her sparkling eyes and huge smile, he must assume that she desperately wants to know what present that he made and is going to give to Twilight, but, he doesn't wants to spoil the surprise.

"Sorry Pinkie I can't tell you." Thorax said with a shake of his head.

Pinkie frowned when she heard the tedious reply.

"Why not?"

"Well, it wouldn't be a surprise if I spoil it right?" Thorax asked logically.

When Pinkie heard Thorax's inquiry, she promptly came to an understanding of his highly valid point. Spoiling a secret gift would be not be very amusing especially in a good friends birthday party.

"Okay Thorax I guess your sense is veracious." Pinkie said in a realization tone "Spoiling a secret is no fun at all." She finished.

"Exactly." Thorax said with a smile and a nod "Thank you for understanding Pinkie." He finished with a grateful smile.

"Eh no sweat." Pinkie said rubbing the back of her head with her right hoof "That's what friends are for." She told him as she patted his shoulder.

"Anyways, come on Twilight is just in the meeting room with Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Applejack, Spike and Fluttershy." Pinkie told him.

"Really?" Thorax asked, and Pinkie replied with a nod "Then lead the way my enthusiastic friend." He said, and Pinkie giggled from the reply. Then, she led Thorax to the meeting room while pushing a cart

In the meeting room of Twilight Sparkle's castle.

Twilight was receiving gifts from her friends on her birthday, Rainbow Dash gave her some comic books, Applejack gave her some farming method books, and Rarity gave her some books about fashioning strategies and techniques, Fluttershy gave her some books about animal studies. And Pinkie Pie have her five large present boxes which traumatized Twilight. But, she will open them later.

Although all of these presents seem very absurd and extraneous to what she likes but still, her friends gave her these lovely presents and she must respect them.

"Aww, none of you should have." Twilight said with a grateful smile.

Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Rarity and Fluttershy all looked at her grateful expression and saw that she is about to let out a happy cry. Then, Applejack is the first to talk.

"We are you friends Twilight-"

Applejack was soon cut off when Rainbow Dash flew in front of Twilight with a warm smile on her muzzle.

"Why would we not attend your birthday Twilight?" Rainbow Dash asked "You are our bff, we stick together and party together." She finished in a rational sentence.

"Thank you all." Twilight said in a tone filled with gratitude towards her friends.

Then, the door to the meeting room opened. Twilight and her friends avert their eyes to the door and saw Thorax and Pinkie Pie.

"Thorax!" Twilight said with an exhilarated smile "You came!" She finished an exuberant expression.

"Of course I came." Throax said with a nod "If I did not, what kind of friend would I be?" He asked friendly and logically.

When Twilight heard this, she walked up towards Thorax and embraced him in a friendly hug. Thorax blushed slightly when the hug happened but, he hugged back.

Twilight's friends were adoring the beautiful scene. Then, Twilight and Thorax released themselves from the hug and chuckled embarrassingly. Then, Pinkie Pie broke the silence.

"Alright everypony! Let's celebrate Twilight's birthday!" Pinkie yelled contentedly.

During Twilight's birthday party, the mane six and Thorax all played games, sang songs and many more for three hours long. Then, it was the time to cut Twilight's cake, her friends sang happy birthday to her and she blew the candles. And finally, Pinkie gave her a large cutting knife and Twilight cut the cake and everypony in the room cheered and clapped. Then, Twilight cut the large strawberry cake into slices and placed them on paper plates.

During the party feast, everypony in the room were talking to each other about their lives and many more but then, all of that were put to an unexpected conclusion when Twilight walked to the doors and attempted to leave.

"Where are you going off to Twilight?" Pinkie asked with a disoriented expression.

"We just celebrated your birthday for three hours." Rarity told her while raising her eyebrow in confusion.

"I just need some time alone." Twilight said in a low sad tone "All of you can carry on without me." She told them, then she left the meeting room.

The mane five and Thorax were truly transfixed when they saw Twilight leaving the meeting room in dejection. Why would she be disconsolate on her birthday?

"What's gotten her so blue?" Rainbow Dash asked perplexed.

"I don't know." Applejack said with a shrug.

"Nopony feels a melancholy like this before on their birthdays." Pinkie said in a logical sense, and her friends nodded in agreement.

Thorax's reaction was the same as the mane five, why was Twilight feeling a melancholy on her birthday? She never felt that depressed before. After thinking for five more seconds, Thorax has made his decision, he placed his strawberry cake bits plate on the table and walked to the doors of the meeting room.

"Where are ya goin' Thorax?" Applejack asked baffled.

"I'm going to find her and ask her what's wrong Applejack, and I'm gonna console her because, that's what friends are for." Throax told them.

"Thank you for doing this Throax." Fluttershy said with a warm smile.

"Your welcome Fluttershy."

After that, Thorax exited the meeting room and walked to Twilight, and he must assume that she is in her bedroom, so he began to make his way to there.

Once Throax got to Twilight's bedroom door, he raised his right hoof and attempted to knock on it but then, some noises stopped her. Thorax then pressed his ear on the door and heard the sounds of Twilight sobbing, and the noise has got her truly disoriented. Why is Twilight sobbing on her birthday? Did something happen?

He then shook all of that out of his head and slowly pushed the door open and entered.

When Twilight heard the door to her room slowly opening, she turned around and saw Thorax entering.

"Oh... h-hello Thorax." Twilight said wiping a tear away from her right eye.

"Hello Twilight." Thorax said with a smile towards his best friend. "How's it going?" He asked kindly.

When Twilight heard his inquiry, she decided not to tell him.

"Nothing Throax." Twilight said sadly turning her head away from him.

Thorax sighed when he heard the reply, he then sat on her bed next to her.

"Twilight, please tell me what's wrong." Thorax said "I want to help you get through whatever your dealing with." He told her with a desperate expression.

Twilight took a moment to think whether to tell him what is bothering her. ten seconds later, she sighed in defeat and looked at him.

"Well you see Thorax, one day before my birthday I wrote seven invitation letters, I delivered the six invitation cards to my friends including you and the last one was for somepony I eyed named Flash Sentry." She told him.

Thorax had a smile on his muzzle when he heard that, it was a great way to deliver something salient to a special somepony in person.

"That's great." Thorax said with a proud smile, but then his smile faded when he saw Twilight looking on the floor in sadness again. Thorax then decided to ask what happened next.

"Then what happened."

Twilight then began to sob and blurt everything out.

"He didn't cared!" Twilight cried. "He just abandoned me and tore my invitation card in front of my face!" She finished sadly.

Thorax was truly traumatized when he heard Twilight's statement, why would Flash Sentry abandon and say and do an action so impudent and resentful? He is suppose to be Twilight's special somepony not an arrogant and hypocritical guard, as far as Thorax knows, the Equestrian and changeling kingdom guards show signs of dignity, honor and respect to the community but, Flash Sentry was different. His attitude is quite brusque and deranged towards Twilight.

Thorax then shook the hypothetical thought out of his head and embraced Twilight in a friendly and consoling hug, and Twilight hugged back.

"Alright calm down Twilight, let everything out slowly."

Twilight did what Thorax instructed and took a deep breath and letting it out. Then, she was equanimous and she has stopped crying. They then released each other from the hug and chuckled. And Twilight wiped the tears away from her eyes.

"I guess your right." Twilight said calming down "Thank you so much for comforting me Thorax." She finished with a grateful smile.

"Your welcome Twilight." Thorax said with a warm smile. He then turned around and reached for the gift box he has on him, he then turned around and gave it to her.

Twilight looked at the red gift box with a perplexed expression, she looked up at Thorax and saw that he eagerly wants her to open it considering his exhilarated expression and large smile. She then smiled and unwrapped the purple ribbon, and finally she opened the box and she gasped when she saw what is inside the box. Inside is a purple plushie of her, Twilight then levitated the doll and began to scrutinize it, it was knitted in a purple colour, it is soft and has two buttons for the eyes.

Twilight then leaned forward and hugged Thorax in an expression of gratitude for the beautiful gift, and Thorax hugged back, but suddenly the merriment and cute moment has came to a conclusion when Twilight's room door got pushed open following up with a vexed scream.

"WHAT ARE YOU TWO DOING?!" yelled an intimate voice that the two royals recognized.

Thorax and Twilight both turned around and saw Flash Sentry standing at the door with an enraged and bewildered mixed expression. And Twilight was disoriented when she saw him.

"Flash? What are you doing here?" Twilight asked with a perplexed expression.

Flash disregarded Twilight and focused on Thorax.

Thorax was confused when he saw Flash Sentry giving him a menacing glare. He just came to Twilight's castle to celebrate her birthday along with her friends, and he has just done that three hours and four minutes ago. What did he even do to him?

Flash then began to advance his way towards the changeling king with an intimidating glare.

When Twilight noticed this, she stepped in front of Thorax and began to defend him from her now enraged special somepony.

"Flash, what are you-"

Twilight wasn't able to finish her sentence when Flash placed his hoof on her neck and pushed her onto the bed, and Twilight grunted when she fell on her own bed, and her plushie was dropped on the floor, and the left eye button fell out. Then, Flash Sentry grabbed Thorax by his chest, and Thorax was a little edgy.

"You stupid insect." Flash growled viciously "How dare you come into my special somepony's room and try to make a move on her? SHE IS MINE!" He exclaimed in vextation.

"M-mister Flash Sentry I didn't even do anything." Thorax told him in defense " I just came here to celebrate Twilight's birthday with her friends." He finished hoping that he will understand.

"In her room?"

Thorax was anxious when he heard his inquiry.

"I just-"

"That's it I'm tired of this conversation." Flash said arrogantly "It is time for me to show you what happens when somepony touches my special somepony." He finished menacingly.

"Please Flash, I do not want to fi-"

Thorax wasn't able to finish his sentence when Flash began pushing him backwards, Thorax tried to use his magic to break free but Flash punched him in the face with his right hoof. Twilight looked to where Flash was trying to push him, and her eyes widened when she saw him pushing Thorax to the window of her room.

"FLASH! STOP!"

But it was too late, Flash Sentry has jolted Thorax to the window, and the force of the push broke the window and Thorax began to fall down to the ground, he tried to spread his wings and fly but it was too late when Thorax fell on the ground roughly.

Thorax groaned and opened his eyes painfully, he was bleeding from his chest and he also spat blood out of his mouth in an excruciating way. He tried to heal himself with his magic but the soreness and pain has gotten the best of him, it eventually has proven to be too much for him and he lost his conciousness.

One day after the traumatizing and daunting accident, Princess Twilight Sparkle was seen pacing back and forth in Ponyville hospital with a worried expression. And the main reason for that is because she is waiting anxiously for the news of Thorax's condition. She has been pacing back and forth in the hallway for four hours now. Then on cue, the doors of Thorax's room opened and Twilight rushed to the doctor.

"Doctor! How is he?!" Twilight asked with a perturbed expression.

"Please calm down Princess Twilight, he is okay now, we taped up his wounds and is in good health and he is also awake but, he needs to stay in the hospital for a few weeks."

Twilight let out a sigh of relief when she heard the great news.

"Can I go in and see him?"

"Sure."

"Thank you doctor." Twilight said with a smile, after that Twilight entered Thorax's room and saw him lying down on a stretcher with white bandages wrapped around him.

Twilight began to sob when she witnessed Thorax's condition. She then approached his stretcher bed and placed her hoof on him. Thorax managed to tilt his head to the right.

"Twilight?" Thorax muffled weakly into the white bandaged wrapped around his muzzle.

"Thorax, I'm so sorry." She apologized "I should've stopped Flash when I saw him pushing you to my room's window, I'm sorry. I'm such a moron for getting you wounded." She cried.

Thorax then sighed through his bandaged muzzle and smiled warmly behind it, trying to let her know that everything is alright and he forgives her.
