A foalhood story

A faul hood story

It was beautiful day at Tambelon Castle..

Spik n Span was happily dusting the stained Glass window, when suddenly was interrupted by a large crash.

In the royal armory the Cutie Mark Crusaders could be seen standing in the middle of pile of collapsed armor.

Sweetie Belle: Uh.. Why are we doing this again..(Dusts herself off)

Apple Bloom: I told ya'll before! This is a sure fire way to get our cutie Marks in Armor Polishing.

Scootaloo: Armor Polishing, I thought we were trying be Royal Guards

?: Eeeeeeeeaaaaaahhhh

The three fillies turn to see Spik n Span has entered the room, his face in a state of terror and quickly turning red.

Spik n Span: Now see here you three hooligans!

Apple Bloom: Spik n Span! Watch Out!

The girls watch as Spik n Span accidentally steps onto a Unicorn helmet and begins rolling into the center of the room, desperately trying to keep his balance atop it.

Spik n Span: YeaEeaEeaEeaEaaaaaa!

Crash! "tinkle"

The three fillies rush over to Spik n Span who has collapsed amongst a pile of armor. As they attempt to check his condition, Spik n Span lift a helmet from his head, an angry look across his face.

Scootaloo smiles nervously: Well on the bright side.. You make a good guard pony.

Spik n Span picks himself up: Now see here Apple Bloom! I specifically told you not to let your friends into the royal armory! How many times do I have to tell you not to play royal armory!

Sweetie Belle Looks Confused: You've never told us not to play in the Royal Armory?

Spik n Span: That's because I never thought I had to!

Spik n Span begins attempting to reassemble the armor. Apple Bloom approaches him as he does so..

Apple Bloom: Well, we were just trying to get our cutie marks..

Spik n Span: Uh you three and your Cutie Marks.. Can't you try to earn them outside the castle! Honestly Apple Bloom your just like your sister!

The three fillies look at each other confused. Suddenly all three fall to the floor and burst out laughing!

Crusaders: AhHaHaaHaHaaHaHaaHaHaa!

Spik n Span turns to them: What are you laughing about?

Apple Bloom wipes a tear from her eye: Me? like Apple Jack? Please..

Scootaloo chimes in: Yeah Apple Jack and Apple Bloom are nothing alike.

Sweetie Belle: It's true every we time we try to get out Cutie Marks Apple Boom says, "A cutie mark just has to wait!"

Spik n Span raises an eyebrow, a sly smile crossing his face: Oh really? Well, I'll have you three know, when Apple Jack, Rarity, and Rainbow Dash were just as concerned with getting there Cutie Marks as you three were!

The Cutie Mark Crusaders leap up in utter surprise: Whaaaaaaaat!

Spik n Span: Along with Pinkie Pie, Fluttery, and of course Princess Twilight.

The three fillies suddenly rush up to Spik n Span and jump around him excited.

Crusaders: Tell us! Tell us! Tell us! Tell us! Tell us! Tell us! Tell us!

Spik n Span composes himself: Oh, very well. If you three assist me in reassembling this place. I be more than happy to tell you the tale!

The three girls stand at attention, confident smiles on their faces.

Scootaloo: Sir yes, Sir!

As the Apple Jack, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo begin picking up armor, Spik n Span begins rubbing his chin in contemplation.

Spik n Span: Now, I believe it all began when you and your sister first moved into Tambelon castle..

It was a sunny spring day and the Apple Family were trudging down a dirt road a pony and cart.

Granny Smith attended to an infant Apple Bloom with a smile: Just a few more miles youngins, and then will all be starting out a new life in Tambelon Castle!

A young Apple Jack huffed to herself next to her brother Big Mac.

Apple Jack: I don't want to start a new life! I liked things just the way they were back on the farm!

Granny Smith takes a scolding tone with Apple Jack: Now Sugar Cube, be reasonable. We all know that times have been tough ever since.. the incident! (A sad look crosses Granny Smith's face)

Apple Jack loses her bluster, and turns back to Apple Farm, disappearing in the far distance.

Granny Smith: ..And let me tell you, it certainly wasn't easy to get this job!

The cart pony continued to pull the Apple Family and their belonging down the dirt road, passing by small towns and green forests. As the morning moved on Tambelon Castle began to appear in the distance. After passing through the village of Pony Ville and eventually the Tambelon Marketplace, the cart made it to the gates of Tambelon Castel.

Spik N Span and Shining Armor stood in front of the gates waiting to greet the family!

Shining Armor: Welcome to Tambelon Castle! I'm Shining Armor, the prince of the Castle!

Granny Smith: Ooh, a Prince! We'll we be meeting the King and Queen as well?(Elbows shining armor)

Shining Armor: Regrettably, my parents couldn't attend at the moment, but I came to greet you in their place.

Spik n Span coughs into his hoof..

Shining Armor: Oh right.. This is Spik n Span, he's in charge of the Castle Staff!

Spik n Span shakes hooves with Granny Smith: A pleasure to make your acquaintance!

Granny Smith places a Hoof around Spik n Span's shoulder with a smile: So your main pony in charge around here? Mind if I call you Spiffy?

Spik n Span attempts to push Granny Smith away: Yes Madame, I would.

Spik n Span turns to lead the Apple Family into the castle: Now, if you would just follow me, I will you and your Grandchildren to the castle farm.

As Shining armor watches the Apples being led away, he suddenly notices Apple Jack still standing nervously at the gate.

Shining Armor: Well hello there, what's your name?

Apple Jack mumbles: I'm.. Apple Jack..

Shining Armor: Well Apple Jack, do you mind if I ask why you're so sad?

Apple Jack takes a deep breath: I don't wanna live in a castle! I wanna go back to the farm!

Shining armor stares at the young filly for a minute and then chuckle to himself: Hmhmhm.. Let me let you in on a little secret, sometimes I don't want to live in a castle either.

Apple Jack: Really

Shining Armor smiles: Oh sure, there a plenty of times I would like to head down to the village and hang out with my friends! But, my parents are royalty, so they expect to act a royal it.

Shining Armor takes Apple Bloom by his side: Tell you what! How about I give you a personal tour of the castle.. You know I have a sister about your age, I think you might like her!

High up in the towers, a young Princess Twilight Sparkle looks down to see her brother with a young filly her age. The sad princess sighed to herself, feeling lonely, but not quite sure why!

?: Oh Princess!

A small voice chimed in much to Twilight's annoyance. She turned as a small white Unicorn pranced into the room!

Rarity: I've come to help you select your outfit for the day!

Twilight: Rarity, I thought I told you to call me Twilight..

Rarity: Whatever you say Princess!

Rarity to open large closet. Numerous beautiful dresses hung inside, far to many for one pony to wear. The next thing she knew, young Twilight Sparkle was in front of a mirror being forced to try on numerous dresses, a task which she despised. Rarity continued to chatter on as she dressed up Twilight.

Rarity: Oh you don't know how lucky you are to have so many dresses Princess!

Twilight: It's Twilight..

Rarity: I wish afford to just spend my whole day putting on gorgeous outfits just like you do!

Twilight: Hmph..

Rarity: But alas my parents are just simple common ponies, working as a castle guard and kitchen staff!

Twilight: Uh huh..

Rarity: Oh what I would give to be a princess just like you?

All of a sudden Twilight's expression changed. An idea began to form into Twilights as she turned to Rarity with a smile.

Twilight: Say Rarity.. How would you like to try on some of my dresses?

A giddy look crossed Rarity's face: Eeeeeeeee!

Down in the Castle Kitchen shining armor showed a young Apple Jack around. Numerous bakers and assorted kitchen staff were baking pastries and assembling meals.

Shining Armor: ..And this is the royal kitchen, where are staff prepares meals for the entire castle. Since we a quite a lot of mouths to feed, there's never a dull moment down here.

Apple Jack chuckled to herself: Hmhmhmm..

The Stallion turned to catch her smile, but Apple Jack hid it before he had the chance.

Shining Armor: Seems like you're beginning to like the castle more already.

?: Stop! Slow Down! Not the Ketchine!

Pinkie Pie: Weeeeeeeeeeeeee!

A small Pink Pony with curly hair sailed into the kitchen riding on a cooking sheet. Numerous kitchen staff panicked as they attempted to remove their dishes from the path on the oncoming pony. Apple Jack and Shining Armor watched as the filly bounced around the room until finally crashing into the kitchen cupboard. A white puff of flour filled the entire kitchen.

Spik n Span rushed into the kitchen in a panic: Sweet Celestia what happened!

The entire kitchen and staff was covered in flour with blobs of batter hanging everywhere. At the center of the mess sat the small pink pony powdered white.

Pinkie Pie: ..Achoo (The powder cleared away as Pinkie Pie sneezed)

Spik n Span furiously approached the filly, his face turning red: Pinkemena Diane Pie!

Pinkie Pie looked up at Spik n Span nervously: Hehe.. Sorry.

Spik n Span attempted to compose himself: Ooooooh.. You young filly, are an apprentice baker. You're job is to assist Mr. and Mrs. Cake with there.. Cakes!

Pinkie Pie suddenly approaches Apple Jack: I know that Spik n Span! ..But, I heard there were new ponies in the Castle! ..And I heard one of them was my age! ..And what's the best way to welcome new ponies into the castle?

Spik n Span, Shining Armor, and Apple Jack stare at her blankly..

Pinkie Pie: That's right, sliding down the banisters of the castle stairway using nothing more than a cooking sheet!

Spik n Span backed up in confusion, and then suddenly exploded: Noo! The best was to welcome new ponies into the castle is not make a mess of the entire kitchen staff!

Shining Armor approached Spik n Span attempting to calm him down: Spik n Span, how about I take it from here.

Shining Armor approached the young Pink Pony: Pinkie? Does Mrs. Cake know that your not attending to the dinner rolls?

Pinkie Pie: Nope!

Shining Armor: Well then we'd better go find her shouldn't we.

As Shining Armor turned to lead Pinkie Pie turned to lead Pinkie Pie out of the kitchen, he suddenly took note of Apple Jack.

Shining Armor: Um Apple Jack, why don't explore the rest of the castle yourself?

Apple Jack sighed glumly: "sigh" Okay..

The young pony turned to exit the kitchen. As she entered into the grand hallway, she suddenly bumped into a small white Unicorn.

Apple Jack smiled and extended a hoof: Howdy, I'm Apple Jack! What's your name?

The white Unicorn winced nervously and then quickly rushed away. As Apple Jack watched her go, an angry look crossed her face.

Apple Jack: Sure, I'll learn to like this place.. When pigs fly!

High above Tambelon Castle, a large white fluffy cloud floated. This particular cloud happened to be home of the pegasus ponies, more to the point pegasus in charge of guarding Tambelon! At one section of the cloud, their was a small flight camp for future pegasus in training, Junior Speedsters Flight School!

Numerous tiny pegasus sailed across a training course. All except for one filly who was a bit scrawnier than the others.

The tiny yellow pegasus hid beneath her pink hair, trying to hide herself.

?: Look out!

All of a sudden a small blue pony with a rainbow mane crashed into her.

Gilda: Are you alright Rainbow Dash?

A small griffin floated down to the two dazed ponies in a pile?

Rainbow Dash: Uhh.. I think so.. You alright Fluttershy?

Fluttershy: I'm.. fine..

?:BwaHaHaaHaHaaHaHaaHaHaa

The two pegasus and the griffon turned to see a trio of colts laughing at them!

Hoops: Good one Rainbow Crash!

An angry look crosses Rainbow Dash's face: Don't you three have some other pony you could go pick on!

Dumb-bell chimed in: Good idea! How about Fluttershy, who can barley fly!

Score: Or Gilda the Griffin who wishes she was a pony!

The three boys laughed cruelly. Rainbow Dash and turned to see Fluttershy and Gilda, both of whom looked like they were about to break into tears.

?: Or maybe we should pick on the three stooges, who having nothing better to do but to pick on other ponies.

The Colts turned upward to see a small black pegasus floating above them.

Dumb-bell: Who are you calling stooges?

Thunder Lane: Who do you think? You, Moe, and Curly!

Dumb-bell: Oh yeah, why don't you put your bits where your muzzle is?

Thunder Lane: Name the Time and the place?

Dumb-bell: How about right here? Right now?

Rainbow Dash: Hey!

The colts suddenly turned to see Rainbow Dash, an angry look across her face!

Rainbow Dash approached Thunder Lane: What in Equestria do you think your doing?

Thunder Lane looks at her confused: I'm trying to defend you?

Rainbow get's into Thunder Lane's face: What makes you think I need you to defend me?

Thunder Lane suddenly get's annoyed: Will you just let me help you?

Gilda and Fluttershy look at each other in confusion

Rainbow Dash: What makes you think that I need your help?

Thunder Lane: From I see you could use all the help you could get!

The three bullies are quickly becoming annoyed.

Rainbow Lane: If anyone's going to take on these jerk's it's going to be me!

Thunder Lane: No, it's gonna be me!

Dumb-Bell: Enough!

Thunder Land and Rainbow suddenly turn their attentions to the bullies.

Dumb-Bell: We'll take on the two of you any time, any place, any where, any when!

A confident smile crosses Rainbow Dash's face: Okay..

Rainbow confidently pulls Thunder Lane to her side: Me and Thunder Boy here challenge you three to a race all the way to the EverFree Forest and back!

A look of fear suddenly crosses the three bullies faces.

Dumb-Bell: The EverFree Forest.. Isn't that the forest full of all sorts of terrifying creatures.. "gulp ..Where ponies are never seen again!

Rainbow smiles cruelly: What's the matter boys? Scarred?

A look of fury crossed the bullies faces!

Dumb-Bell: You're On!

Thunder Lane suddenly chimes in: Uhh.. Do I get a say in this?

Rainbow Dash and Dumb-Bell shout together: Nooo!

Meanwhile, at Midnight Castle..

Sombra laughs wickedly in his throne room: MwaaHaHaHaaHaHaaHa!

Sombra rubs his hooves together in excitement as he plots with his second in command Catrina: Soon the key ruling all of Equestria will be in my hooves!

Catrina: Indeed Master!

Sombra: I have many magnificent and vicious creatures under my command.. But once my newest follower, I will truly be unstoppable.

The slowly begin to creak open reveal Sombra's newest minion..

Cujo: Heh.. Hey.. Boss

Catrina glance at her master suspiciously.

Sombra: ..Not him

Sombra approaches his new associate: Ahhhh.. So you must be Cujo, the leader of the Diamond Dog Gang..

Cujo: nervously scratches his head: Uh.. Yeah.. That's right..

Sombra continues: Yess.. I've heard of the vicious nature that you "dogs" have..

Cujo: Oh yeah.. We sure are vicious..

Sombra: But of course you'll need more than just a vicious nature to join my ranks.. Have you brought the item I asked you to aquire?

Cujo: Uhhhh.. Yeah.. About that..

A loud cry echoes from Midnight Castle, echoing across the entirety of EverFree forest!

Sombra: Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaatt!

Sombra drags Cujo directly in front of him: What to you mean it was already sold!?

Cujo sweats bullets: Well.. I tried to get it.. But some other creature placed a higher bid..

Sombra eyes blaze in fury: Do you have any idea how hard it is to find one of those things in Equestria?!

Cujo: Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..

Sombra: Cujo.. I don't care what you have to do.. I don't care what lows you have to sink to.. But you will get me what's mine!

Cujo smiles nervously: ..Or what?

A dark expression crosses Sombra's face: Let's just say I'll introduce you to a whole new meaning of the word pain..

Scootaloo: Wait a minute.. How could you possible know that was happening?

Spik n Span pulls at his collar: I may be using some artistic integrity here..

The Tambelon market place was as busy as ever. All around ponies of every shape and size were shopping, among other creatures. And in one particularly dark section of the marketplace, a dark deal was being done.

A tall Minotaur sits behind a desk: All right boys.. Listen up!

The Minotaur pushes a mysterious box out onto the desk: This item has been purchased by an extremely influential client.. And it's very important that it arrives to him unharmed.. Never mind what's in it just make sure get's to Manhattan on time.. You do this job and you two will be set for life.. You got that?

A teenage Trender Hoof and Trouble Shoes look at their employer with distain

Trender Hoof: You got it boss..

The two Stallions to be exited the Minotaur's office and stepped out into the busy street.

Trender Hoof: I know what you're going to say Trouble Shoes.. This is a bad idea

The large brown colt huffed his nostrils in agreement.

Trender Hood: But like the boss said.. Once this job is done we'll be set for life.. No more living on the streets! No more doing dirty jobs! From this point onward will be going straight!

?: Coming through!

Three young colts suddenly crossed Trender Hoof's path, causing him to spin around wildly!

Trender Hoof: Hey, watch it you brats!

?: Stop thieves!

Two guard ponies suddenly pass by Trender Hoof, causing him to spin in the opposite direction.

As Trender Hoof begins to notice his side saddle is surprisingly light.

Trender Hoof: The Package! Where's the Package!? I can't find the..!

All of a sudden Trouble Shoes holds out a wooden box in front of Trender Hoof.

Trender Hoof blushes: Oh right..

Trender Hoof and Trouble continued on their way, neither of them that the package had been slightly opened!

Back on the streets of the Market Place, the three colts were continuing to run from the guards.

light blue colt: This Way!

Orange colt: No, this Way!

Curly haired colt: No both ways!

The two colts yelled at their friend: Cheeeese!

All of sudden the orange colt noticed that the guards were approaching from behind. With a sight the young pegasus and his companion raised their wings and carried their earth pony pal upwards.

The royal guards looked around both ways completely at a loss.

Guard 1: Uh we lost them again!

Guard 2: Don't worry.. We'll catch those little thieves.. Eventually!

Up on the rooftops above, the three colts down on the guards below. All of sudden they look, smile, and fall back laughing.

Colts: AhHahaaHahaaHahaa!

All of a sudden the orange colt regains his composure: But seriously guys.. That was a close one!

The light blue colt chimes in: Oh come off it Flash.. That was almost to easy!

Flash: All I'm saying is Soarin.. One of these days were gonna get caught!

Cheese: Hey guys, I've been thinking are we bad guys, you know, stealing food and stuff?

Flash: Stealing? Please we're just borrowing some food for those who can't afford it!

Soarin puts an arm around Flash: And we can't afford it!

Cheese: Borrowing? Is that what we're doing? Boy are we debt!

Flash draws both of his friends close to him: Don't worry guy's! Someday things will turn around for us!

Soarin pulls out three loaves of bread: But for now.. We feast!

The the colts quickly dug into their meal. Meanwhile back down on the streets below, a young white Unicorn walked along the marketplace. She glanced at the many colorful stall, oohing and ahhing at the rare items at each one.

All of a sudden she bumped into two familiar ponies

Guard 1: Oh, I'm sorry young filly. Are you alright.

Upon seeing the two guard ponies, the young unicorn panicked and scattered away into a vacant alley. When she finally felt she had gotten far enough away, she leaned up a nearby barrel to catch her breath.

All of sudden the barrel tipped over spilling fresh cider all across the street!

?: You'd better be planning on paying for that..

The young Unicorn turned to the Minotaur from early with two goats as his side.

Unicorn: Umm.. paying?

Minotaur: Yes paying.. As in you break it you bought it.. Now hoof over some bits!

The Unicorn slowly backed away: But I don't have any..

All of the young Unicorn bumped into another barrel of cider. This time the whole barrel washed over on top of her. As the young Unicorn tried to pick herself up the Minotaur and his minions took notice of something..

The white of her coat was beginning to melt away reveal a light purple. Her mane was still purple, but a streak of violet was suddenly revealed within it. The young began to tear up..

Minotaur: Are you Princess Twilight Sparkle?

Back at the castle Spik n Span was rising up the stairs to the Twilight's room.

Spik n Span began to knock on the door: Princess, are you decent?

From within the room a voice cried out musically: I'll be right out!

The doors swung open revealing the Princess Twilight Sparkle, or so it appeared.. Twilight was wearing a frilly dress and her mane was done up in a fancy curl. An elegant smile was crossed which seemed to be covered in makeup.

Spik n Span was dumbfounded. He had raised Twilight Sparkle since she was in diapers, and he had never once known her to enjoy fancy clothing or care about her personal appearance.

Spik n Span: Princess Twilight.. Are you feeling alright?

"Twilight" pranced out of her room giddily: Of course Spik n Span! Why this is the best that I've felt in ages!

It was true, this was without a doubt the best day of Rarity's life. Only moments ago the Princess of Tambelon had asked her dressing pony to switch places with her for the day. All it took was a little magic, and a lot of makeup, and soon the two young Unicorns were indistinguishable from each. After hours picking out the perfect outfit, Rarity was finally ready to enjoy the perks of being a Princess.

Spik n Span eyed the "Princess": Well anyway your majesty, it's time for you to begin your royal lessons!

Rarity wave a fan in front of her face: But of course.. My public awaits!

Spik n Span led the young Unicorn through the of Tambelon Castle. Both staff and guard pony alike could not believe their eyes as they Twilight Sparkle prance about like a member of high society. When they finally reached the classroom, the Princess prepared to make a grand entrance in front of her new teacher.

Rarity: The finest Princess in all of Equestria has arrived!

The Unicorn proclaimed this as she burst through the door.

A soft voice called out to her: I'm glad you could make it..

As Rarity opened her eyes, her jaw nearly dropped to the floor. Standing right in front of her was Crown Princess of Canterlot, the alicorn Princess Celestia.

Rarity: P-P-P-Princess Celestia!? I'm sorry! I didn't mean..!

Celestia: Honestly Twilight there's no need to formal.. We see each other every day!

Rarity: We do..? Of course we do! I know that because I'm the princess!

Princess Celestia tilted her head slightly at the young Unicorn, eyeing her curiously. Then her smile returned to her face.

Celestia: Now then Twilight.. Shall we begin reviewing your essay?

Rarity grits her teeth: Essay..?

Celestia: Why of course Twilight.. Your five hundred page essay on the founding of Equestria?

Rarity's eyes grew as wide as dinner plates: Fi-f-fi-fi-fi-five hundred page essay?!

Celestia eyed the unicorn with a mischievous smile: You do have your essay with you.. don't you Twilitght?

Rarity began to stutter nervously, her jaw shaking and her eyes tearing up: I-I-I-I..

All of a sudden Rarity threw herself down to the floor: ..I can't take it anymore!

Rarity quickly wiped the makeup off of her face, revealing her true self..

Spik n Span was dumbfounder: Rarity?! What? How? Where is Princess Twilight!?

Rarity began bawling out in tears: Bwahahahaha! She made me do it! She's probably outside of the castle by noooow!

A grimace appeared upon Spik n Span's face: Oh no!

Down in the castle barn, a furious Apple Jack was packing a burlap sack in her "new" room.

Apple Jack: Pony feathers to Tambelon! I'm moving back to my home on the farm if it's the last thing I do!

The young filly quietly crept down and towards the front. When she looked outside, she saw her family chatting happily with the rest of the castle staff. She one last sad look at them, and the headed to the window at the far side of side of the house.

She slid the window open carefully and quietly, and then out the window.

Pinkie Pie: Whatcha doing?

Apple Jack was startled to see Pinkie Pie standing right in front of her: I'm uh, just gettin' some air.

Pinkie Pie: With a burlap sack and without saying goodbye to your family?

A stubborn look crossed Apple Jack's face: Oh for Ponies Sake! I'm goin' home!

Pinkie Pie: But, I thought this was your home?

Apple Jack turned to trot away: Well no offense Pinkie, but my home is back on the farm! With the fresh air and plenty of apples!

Pinkie Pie's face suddenly lit up: "Gaaaaaaaaasp!" You're from a farm? I'm from a farm! Of course it was a Rock Farm.. But it's the same exact thing!

Apple Jack rolls her eyes: Yeah.. That's nice, now if ya'll excuse me!

Pinkie Pie: Wait! Won't your Granny be mad that you ran away?

Apple Jack: Well it's her own fault, I didn't even want to come here anyway!

And the young Earth Pony stormed off in a huff..

Back at the Junior Speedsters Flight School, all the young Pegasus were gathered for the upcoming race. Rainbow Dash and ThunderLane were both at the mark, the three bullies right beside them.

Dumb-bell: Ready to race Rainbow Crash?

Rainbow Dash replied confidently: I was born ready!

Just as Rainbow Dash was about to take off, the leader of the three bullies stopped her!

Dumb-bell: Hold on a second Rainbow Crash! There are two of you and three of us. You and ThunderLame need a third partner or else you forfeit!

Rainbow Dash floated back in a huff: Fine, give us a minute to pick!

Hoops: Wait a minute! Since you two made the bet we should get to choose your third partner!

Score: Yeah!

Rainbow Dash crossed her arms at the three pegasus: Fine! Who did you have in mind?

The leader of the bullies rubbed his chin, acting as if it was a tough decision: Hmmmmmmmm.. We choose.. Fluttershy!

The entire class of pegasus looked over to small yellow pony standing beside her griffon friend. Gilda attempted to comfort Fluttershy as she whimpered, trying to hide herself beneath her long pink hair.

Rainbow Dash's jaw dropped wide open: That's not fair!

ThunderLane stepped in: Yeah, you know that Fluttershy is afraid of flying!

The leader of the bullies strutted confidently: Tough cookies! Either you fly with her or you forfeit!

Rainbow Dash slumped downward, as she gloomily approached Fluttershy: Come on Fluttershy, your in..

Fluttershy panicked: Oh.. Um.. That is.. I really have to!

Rainbow Dash: Come on Fluttershy! We need you!

Fluttershy sighed: Okay..

The three young pegasus lined up at edge of the cloud next to their bully rivals. A googly eyed foal floated in front of them, preparing to wave a checkered flag..

Rainbow Dash: On your marks.. Get set.. Go!

Back in Tambelon, the three colts sat atop the market place, quite satisfied with their meal.

Soarin rubbed his belly: Aww yeah, that was good.

Cheese Sandwich chimed in: Yep, what's for desert?

All of a sudden the three colts heard a loud cry..

Twilight: Aaahhh! Help!

The three boys looked down into a nearby alleyway, to see a large minotaur carrying a purple filly in a cage!

Minotaur: Aww, Don't worry little Princess. I'll let ya go just as soon as your parents pay your Randsom!

The Minotaur held up the filly in cage mocking her!

Minotaur: Until then, just make yourself comfy.

Flash Sentry down at the scene below in disbelief.

Soarin: Poor kid.. Got herself caught by old Longhorn over there..

Cheese: Shouldn't we do something?

Soarin: And get ourselves caught?! Not a chance..

A determined look suddenly crossed the young Flash Sentry's face.

As the Minotaur mocked his young captive, a large rock suddenly smacked him in the back of the head.

Flash: Hey Fathead! Let her go now!

Soarin quickly ducked out of sight: Dude, what are you doing?

The Minotaur glared up at the young pest above, clearly annoyed: Why don't you come down here and say that you little punk!

A confident smile crossed Flash Sentry's face: Okey Dokey!

The young pegasus confidently flew down, drop kicking the Minotaur in his fat face!

Soarin Smacked himself on the head: Why does he always do this?

The Minotaur was so stunned that he dropped the cage releasing his young prisoner.

Flash Sentry called out to the tiny purple unicorn form atop the Minotaur's head: Run!

Twilight: Right, Running!

The Minotaur, clearly infuriated, threw a fist at the tiny pegasus above him: Why you little!

Flash Sentry quickly flew out of the way before the fist could reach him. Up above his companions watched in awe.

Cheese: Her Soarin, over here!

The orange earth pony pointed his friend to something on a nearby rooftop.

Back on the ground the Minotaur quickly called for his goons: Get her!

The two Goats quickly began to chase after the Princess: Okay Boaaasss!

All of a sudden a large barrel drop down onto one of the goats, followed by a second for his partner.

Goats: Heaaaaaaaaayy!

Flash Sentry looked up to see his partners in crime snickering at the chaos they had caused down below.

Soarin: Look out below you Jerks!

Cheese: Ha Ha Ha!

The Minotaur glared at young foals above him: You boys are makin' a big mistake!

All of a sudden, Flash Sentry noticed a large stack of crates, each one filled with consumer goods!

Minotaur: When I catch you I'm gonna..

A sudden clattering caught the Minotaur's attention. He turned around to see his own stockpile of goods and produce collapsing directly on top of him!

Minotaur: Oh Moooo..

As the dust cleared from the massive pile of jellies and wood, Flash Sentry confidently floated down atop his buried bovine enemy.

Flash: That's what I call a bull in a China Shop.

The young Unicorn peaked around the corner amazed at what she saw. From atop his battlefield the young pegasus almost looked as brave as her big brother!

Twilight: That was incredible! Thank you!

Flash Sentry blushed as the filly approached him: Oh you know. That's just how I do..

Soarin: Smoochy, Smoochy!

Flash abruptly turned to see his two best friends snickering high above him.

Soarin: Someponies in love!

Cheese: Ha Ha Ha!

Flash Sentry grew red as his two friends continued to mock him.

Flash: I am not! I hardly know her!

A look of realization crossed Flash's face as he realized what he had said. He turned back to see the small unicorn looking rather hurt.

Flash stuttered nervously: I mean.. That is.. I gotta go! See ya!

The young colt flew away quickly to join his friends. All three quickly rushed away leaving the young filly behind.

Twilight: Bye..

The colts rushed atop the rooftops until the market place was far behind. When they finally stopped to catch their breath, Flash Sentry regained his bluster.

Flash: I can't believe you two embarrassed me like that! And right in front of a girl too!

Soarin snickered: Hey your the one who tried to impress her, acting all herioc!

Flash crossed his arms in a huff: No I wasn't! I was just trying to do the right thing!

Soarin: Nuh-uh..

Flash: Yuh-huh..

Soarin: Nuh-uh!

Flash: Yuh-huh!

Cheese: Guys, guys!

Cheese sandwich interrupted his two friends, placing a hoof around both of them.

Cheese: We're best buds! We don't need a filly to come between us!

Soarin rolled his eyes: I don't think she's my type..

Cheese: You're missing the point. As long as the three of us have each other we don't need no Mares, no Hearts, no Hooves!

Flash Sentry smiled as his goofy young friend: Bronies before Ponies!

The three put there hooves together and raised them upward: Bronies before Ponies!

Back on the streets of the market place, Twilight Sparkle wandered sadly. She had thought the young cold who had saved her was young and heroic, but she wasn't so sure. For a moment she thought of returning back to the castle..

That's when she noticed the two guard ponies from earlier passing by.

Realizing that her disguise was gone, Twilight Sparkle quickly fled down a corner of the market place. As she failed to watch where she was going and tripped on a twig.

As she regained her senses, she suddenly noticed a shiny purple object lying on the ground directly in front of her.

Twilight: An egg?

It was indeed an egg, a large purple speckled egg that seemed to shimmer in the light. Twilight had many books about the various eggs laid by creatures, but she had never seen an illustration of an egg like this.

The young Unicorn picked herself up and levitated the orphaned egg towards her.

Twilight: Well I know for a fact that you don't belong here.

Twilight Sparkle thought to herself for a moment thinking of many books she had read over the years. She knew that certain creatures laid, but where could the creature who laid this egg possibly be?

Suddenly a realization dawned upon her.

Twilight: The Everfree Forest!

In the Throne Room of Tambelon, Spik n Span paced paced back in front of Shining Armor and Celestia. There was no doubt that he was a nervous wreck.

Spik n Span: Oh this is terrible, just terrible! I was supposed to watch her while her parents were gone! I could lose my job for this! What in Equestria will we do!?

Celestia: Spik n Span!

The butler turned to place the noble Alicorn with a gentle smile.

Celestia: Relax, Twilight Sparkle is an intelligent young pony. If she found her way out, she can find her way back.

Spik n Span: But-But she hasn't even been outside of the palace before! What if she gets lost? What if she never comes back!?

Shining Armor spoke up nonchalantly: Relax Spik n Span, I'll send the royal out to find her. With any luck we'll find her before the day is over.

As Spik n Span watched the two royal ponies walk away, he suddenly turned his ire toward the small young unicorn quivering in the corner..

Spik n Span: Rarity the Unicorn! I am holding you personally responsible. If anything happen to the Princess Twilight, I will make sure it is on your head!

As the stuffy unicorn continued to yell at her, tears began to well up in Rarities eyes. All of a sudden she burst into tears.

Rarity: Bwaaaaaaaahaahaha!

Spik n Span was taken aback by this: Well now, there's no need to cry about it..

Rarity continued to wail, and rushed out of the throne room a stream of tears following her.

She continued to wail as she rushed through the halls and all the way to the front gate. She was busy wailing, she didn't even notice the small orange pony with a knapsack directly in front of her.

The two fillies smacked right into each other both of them falling to the ground. As Apple Jack began to pick herself up, she suddenly recognized the unicorn in front of her.

Apple Jack: You again!

Rarity began to stifle her tears: "sniff" Me.. I haven't you before!

Apple Jack: Don't you play dumb with me. This is the second time ya'll have run into me today!

Rarity began to grow angry: I most certainly have not!

Apple Jack: Darn tootin ya did!

Rarity: No! I was busy all day with..

A realization dawned upon Rarity.

Rarity: Wait.. You've run into me before?

Apple Jack rolled her eyes: Uh, yeah!

Rarity exclaimed: That wasn't me that! That was the Princess Twilight Sparkle disguised as me!

A furious look crossed Apple Jack's face: That is the biggest load of applesauce I have ever heard!

Rarity fumed: It is not a load of.. whatever it is you said.. It's the truth!

Apple Jack: No it Ain't!

Rarity: Yes it Is!

Apple Jack: No it Ain't!

Rarity: Yes it Is!

Pinkie Pie: Stoooooooooooooooooooooop!

The two fillies turned to see Pinkie Pony that had just appeared between them.

Pinkie Pie smiled: It's the truth! You see Twilight Sparkle is the Princess of Tambelon! And every morning it's Rarity's job to help her get dressed! But this morning Twilight decided she wanted to switch places with Rarity! So they both covered themselves up in makeup! And then Twilight Sparkle snuck out of the castle, while Rarity attended her lessons with Celestia! But Celestia figured it out quickly, and then Spik n Span yelled, and Rarity cried and cried and cried. And then she bumped into you, and I bumped into her, And Now Were All Best Friends Forever! ..Oh, and I think Twilight got kidnapped.

Apple Jack and Rarity stared at Pinkie Pie in disbelief.

Rarity: Pinkie.. How did you know all that?

Pinkie Pie shrugged: I don't know!

Deciding not to question it, Rarity turned back to Apple Jack dramatically: Anyway.. I cannot possibly return until I have corrected my mistake!

Pinkie Pie drew the two ponies close: Ooh! Are you running away? Apple Jack's running away too! Maybe, all three of us can run away together, and then we can have one big Running Away Party!

Apple Jack turned to Rarity: Is she always like this?

Rarity: Pretty much..

Rarity pushed the two ponies away: Anyway, I must I find Princess Twilight and have returned her too the castle! Only then will I be able to look myself in the mirror again! And I need to, I look fabulous!

Apple Jack rolled her eyes: Well good luck to ya.. If ya'll need me I'll be back on the farm!

Rarity: Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaait!

The young unicorn grabbed tightly onto Apple Jack's hoof.

Rarity: You have to help me find Princess Twilight, or else I'll never be to come home again! Please, please, please, please, Please!

Apple Jack desperately attempted to get the pony of her leg: Alright, alright already!

Finally shaking Rarity off, Apple Jack gave her a stern look.

Apple Jack: But after that, I'm gone!

Pinkie Pie chimed in: Can I come too!

The ponies stared at her knowing all to well that she wouldn't take no for an answer..

Rarity and Apple Jack: Fine..

Far outside of Tambelon, two teenage colts walked down a dirt road, their destination still a long way ahead of them.

TrenderHoof frowned as he looked at his map: Ugh.. I can't believe Manehatten is so far away. I'm telling you TroubleShoes, the first thing I'm buying when were set for life is a chariot!

TroubleShoes looked at TrenderHoof, expressing his feelings without even speaking.

TrenderHoof: Huh, you're right TroubleShoes.. Even if we did have a chariot, one of us would still have to pull it, which kind defeats the purpose!

As the two continued the one way conversation, they failed two a shadowy figure lurking form the shadows.

TrenderHoof: I guess we had an automatic chariot it would be okay, but where are we supposed to find a..

?: Ha-ha!

A mysterious voice called. All of a sudden a group of bandits of every type and creature surrounded the two friends. At the head of the group stood a tall handsome griffon wielding a saber.

Don Grif'aun: Shipmates, it appears we have caught our prize!

The bandits snickered as they surround the ponies.

TrenderHoof: Who the heck are you guys?

Don Grif'aun: What is this? You mean to tell me you have never heard of the famous sky pirate, Captain Don Grif'aun?

One of his shipmates chimed in: "He's the famous Captain Don Grif'aun.."

Don Grif'aun quickly whacked the thug on the head, knocking him unconscious: No time for a musical number!

The cunning griffon captain drew his saber close to the throat of TrenderHoof.

Don Grif'aun: Now listen well young pony, we know are delivering a package to Charlatan! And we know that he is offering quite a hefty sum for it. Therefore, it is only natural that professional thieves like us should receive it rather than amateurs such as yourselves!

TrenderHoof smiled sheepishly: Well.. since we are such amateurs.. Maybe you professionals could show us how it's done.. That way you could take us to Charlatan and we could split the reward fifty-fifty!

Don Grif'aun taps his beak in contemplation: Interesting, interesting.. But, counteroffer! You and your friend give us the package, and we will not throw you off a cliff!

TrenderHoof's teeth chattered as the fiends closed in on him. He darted his eyes back and forth trying to find a way to escape. All of a sudden, TroubleShoes puts gentle hoof on his shoulder, an understanding look in his eye.

TroubleShoes reached his satchel and took out the package: Here.. Take it.. Just leave us alone..

Don Grif'aun took the package with a smile: Excellent choice!

As the pirates began to walk away from the two boys, Don Grif'aun turned with a smirk.

Don Grif'aun: Better luck next time boys.. Consider this a lesson in professional thievery.. It's every pirate, bandit, and ne'er-do-well for themselves!

TrenderHoof and TroubleShoes watched as the pirates walked off with their prized. Their mission a failure, they turned around trotting glumly back to Tambelon..

High up in the sky, six little pegasi flew up above the Everfree Forest, attempted to keep pace with each other.

Rainbow Dash: Come on Fluttershy! Keep Up!

The scrawny little pegasus panted as attempted to keep up..

Fluttershy: I'm.. "gasp".. trying.. "gasp"..

ThunderLane looked back at Fluttershy with concern. He was so busy watching that he didn't notice one of the bullies give a wicked smile.

All of a sudden two of the bullies turned around mid flight, and aimed themselves directly at young Fluttershy. Rainbow Dash gasped in horror as she realized what two ponies were attempting to do.

Rainbow Dash: Fluttershy!

The little yellow pegasus panicked as she attempted to scurry away midair. Just when the brutes were about to make contact, a bright flash of Rainbow intercepted the attack.

ThunderLane: Girls!

ThunderLane watched in terror as the two fillies tumbled downwards towards the Everfree Forest! The three bullies laughed cruley.

Dumb-bell: Later Cluttershy! Later Rainbow Crash!

In blind fury, ThunderLane charged the bullies leader: What in Equestria did you just do!

The leader of the bullies suddenly became terrified.

Dumb-bell: T-take it easy bro! It was just a prank!

ThunderLane sneered at the bully, and then looked down towards the forest where Rainbow and Fluttershy had crashed. After regaining his composure he quickly flew down to forest below.

He searched and searched the limbs below but to no avail. Finally realizing that his friends were lost, he headed back up to skies.

ThunderLane: I can't find them! I'm heading back to the castle for help!

One of the bullies pointed a hoof down accusingly.

Dumb-bell: Hey wait a minute! Were still in the middle of a race! If you leave now, you totally forfeit!

ThunderLane rolled his eyes. Without a second thought, he quickly flew back into the direction of the castle. The three bullies watched as he vanished in the distance..

Score: Dude.. That guy needs to chill out!

Down in the shadows of the Everfree forest a stunned Rainbow dash attempted to pick herself up.

Fluttershy: Rainbow Dash! Be careful!

The tiny blue pegasus suddenly winced in pain. One look down at her wing, and she instantly realized why.

Rainbow: Aww, pony feathers! My wing's busted!

The fillies looked up at the forest surrounding them. Crooked trees surrounded them from every direction. The leaves up above almost seemed to form a roof over their heads. The only light that shone through the dark forest was from the small hole they had created up above.

Rainbow: Well.. It looks like flying out of her is out of the question..

Fluttershy: W-w-what are we going to do Rainbow Dash?

Rainbow Dash cautiously rose to her hoofs: Well, I guess were gonna have to walk back..

The two young fillies slowly trudged through the forest. But as far as they were concerned, every tree and vine looked exactly the same.

Fluttershy: "Gasp!"

All of a sudden Fluttershy noticed something in shadows. Rainbow Dash turned at instantly realized what she saw. From deep within the woods, a pair of eyes peered out at them from the darkness.

The two fillies quivered as a the mysterious figure approached them. As it came into the light the young ponies saw both a lions mane and a scorpions tail.

Rainbow Dash: A Manticore! Run Fluttershy!

The ponies dashed through the woods as the lumbering beast chased after after them. Fluttershy flapped through the air with Rainbow Dash following close on the ground. Despite their best efforts the Manticore continued to stay on their tale. All of a sudden, Rainbow Dash tripped on a crooked root.

Rainbow Dash: Umph!

Rainbow Dash landed face first in the dirt. As she curled up wincing in pain, the Manticore finally caught up to her.

Fluttershy: Rainbow Dash!

The little yellow pegasus quickly turned back and dived to the aid of her friend, just as the Manticore lumbered over her. As the beast raised it claws to the two ponies, Fluttershy suddenly noticed something.

Fluttershy: Wait!

Fluttershy raised her hoof to the manticore, causing it to pause in mid swipe. The beast suddenly winced in pain and lowered it's paw downwards. Fluttershy took the paw in her hooves and looked at it carefully.

Fluttershy: Oh, you poor thing..

A thick black thorn was stuck in the middle of the Manticore's paw. The savage beast whimpered, as the small pony approached his injury. With the greatest of care, Fluttershy slowly but surely removed the massive thorn from the creature.

Fluttershy: There you go.

A wide smile suddenly crossed the Manticore's face. Out of nowhere it picked up both Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy and licked them thoroughly with gratitude. Rainbow Dash groaned in annoyance.

Rainbow Dash: Grrrrrrrrrr..

Fluttershy: Awwww.. Your just a big old pussycat, aren't you!

Rainbow Dash: Yeah, yeah, yeah.. This is great and all, but how are we supposed to get home?

Fluttershy smiled at the fluffy friend above her: Excuse me sir, but could you help us get home?

Rainbow Dash: Fluttershy! It can't understand you! And even if it could..

All of a sudden the massive beast leaned forward and tossed the two ponies onto it's back. Without hesitation, the Manticore quickly leaped into the forest, and began to race the two fillies home!

Rainbow Dash: Ehh.. Never mind..

Back on the outskirts of Tambelon Kingdom, a small pony cart trudged forward whistling as he went. Little did he realize that he had a small stowaway hidden in his hay.

Twilight: Don't worry little fella.. We'll find your mother.

The young unicorn princess whispered to the purple egg in her hoofs, cradling it lovingly. As she looked at the city vanishing in the distance, she realized this was the farthest she had ever been from home.

Twilight: I hope that I'm making the right decision.. I know that everyone back at the castle is probably worried right now. But if there's even a chance I can bring this egg home I have to take it.

Twilight Sparkle continued to contemplate her situation as the horse and cart moved forward. As it continued down the path, another cart suddenly approached from behind it.

Mr. Greenhooves: Well hey there Matilda!

Matilda: Why hello there Mr. Greenhooves. How are you on this fine day.

Mr. Greenhooves: Oh I'm just my usual happy self.

The old pony and the donkey continued to converse as they journeyed down the path. Twilight Sparkle began to yawn as the conversation went on.

As she started to drift off to sleep she started to hear a voice calling out to her..

?: Twilight..

Twilight Sparkle began to stir.

?: Twilight!

The unicorns eyes began to open.

Pinkie Pie: Hey Twilight!

The young princess woke abruptly as she recognized the smiling pink pony hovering directly above her.

Twilight: Yeeeiiiiiaaaa!

Twilight Sparkle leapt to her hooves start, completely dumbfounded as to Pinkie arrived here. As she regained her senses, she suddenly noticed that Rarity was standing right beside Pinkie, along with familiar orange earth pony she had seen earlier.

Twilight: What are you guys doing here!

Pinkie Pie: Weeeeeell.. After Rarity, Apple Jack, and I got to know each other.. We snuck out of the castle to come and find you! So we looked in the market! We looked at the gates! We looked at the store where they sell Quills and Sofas, but nothing else, which is kind of weird when you think about it! We couldn't find you! Finally we saw you sneaking onto a haycart! So we asked Matilda for a ride! Then once we caught up to you we switched carts, and now here we are!

Twilight was dumbfounded: Well great, but why are you here?!

Rarity gave Twilight a serious look: Princess, this has gone far enough! I got in trouble because of you! And the only way I can show my face back at the castle is I return you this instant!

Applejack: Uh.. I'm just here for the ride!

Twilight Sparkle looked at the three ponies for a moment and then placed her hoof down.

Twilight: No!

Rarity: No! What do you mean no?!

Twilight gave Rarity a serious look: I can't go back to the castle. Not I have returned this egg two it's mother!

Pinkie Pie looked at the purple egg in awe: Ooooooooh! What kind of egg is it? Is it a griffin egg? A roc egg? An Easter egg? An eggplant?

The young unicorn placed a hoof over Pinkie's mouth before she could continue.

Twilight: Whatever kind of egg it it, I need to return it to it's family right away!

Rarity was dumbfounded: B-b-bu-but.. We don't even know where that egg could possibly belong!?

Twilight Sparkle posed confidently: I know exactly where it belongs! It belongs in the Everfree Forest!

Applejack's eyes lit wide open: Did ya'll say the Everfree Forest..?

Rarity, Twilight, and Pinkie Pie turned to Applejack with curiosity.

Twilight: You know about the EverFree Forest?

Applejack: Know it? My old farm was right outside of it! Back in the day, me and the whole Apple Family would head out into the Everfree Forest just to make Zap Apple Jam! Why I know it like the back of my hoof!

Twilight Sparkle eyed her curiously: Could you take me there?

A nervous look suddenly crossed Applejack's face: Uh.. Beg pardon, did I say the back of my hoof? Heh, heh..

The three fillies eyed Applejack suspiciously. Finally the small earth pony gave a deep sigh.

Apple Jack: To be perfectly honest.. The Everfree forest is the one part of my old farm that I didn't miss.. It just ain't natural! The plants grow, the clouds move, and the animals take care of themselves all of there own.

A chill ran down Rarity's back as she began to shiver, clinging onto Pinkie Pie tightly. Twilight though about what Applejack said and then approached her.

Twilight: Please, I need to bring back to the forest! I'm sure that it's parents miss it.

A sudden tear appeared in Applejack's eye, as something Twilight said pulled at her heartstrings.

Applejack: I'll take ya'll back to my old homestead.. But after that I'm done.

A happy smile crossed Twilight's face as she teared up. All of a sudden hugged the young Earth Pony tightly, much to her surprise.

Twilight: Thank you so much!

Applejack shrugged the young unicorn off with a blush: Well.. Let's get goin'..

The two fillies leapt off the edge of the cart off into a new direction. Rarity watched in a panic as they began to trot away.

Rarity: Oh Whatever shall we do?!

The white unicorn began to shake her pink pony friend thoroughly. All of a sudden a wide smile crossed Pinkie Pie's face as she hopped away to join her friends.

Rarity grimaced: Sure.. Let's go into the dangerous forest instead of the nice comfy castle! What could possibly go wrong?

Back in the forest, a small group of Diamond Dogs, led by one in a fedora trudged through the forest..

Fido: Ehh.. Where are we going again?

Cujo growled: I told you before! We're going to go find that package for Sombra! If we don't find it, it'll be the end of you, it'll be the end of me, but worst of all, it'll be the end of me!

Rover: Um.. How are we supposed to find it anyway!

Cujo rolled his eyes: According to that cat, this compass should lead us directly to what Sombra wants! Whatever that is!

Rover: You don't know?

Cujo snapped: Well I never actually saw the thing!

The four grumbled onward through the forest, completely unaware that something was following not far behind them.

Rainbow Dash: How much longer till we're out of this forest?

Fluttershy: Now Rainbow Dash, be patient.. Fluffy is going as fast as he can..

Rainbow Dash: You're calling him Fluffy, Really?

The two young pegasi continued onward the back of there Manticore friend. Little did they know that they were about to make a few more.

Applejack: Well, here it is!

The young earth pony pointed her friends to a large farmhouse, dozens and dozens of rows of apple trees dotted the landscape spanning off into the distance. A large farmhouse stood at the center of it. Though it had once looked, grand it had clearly been down over recent events.

Rarity attempted to force a smile: Oh.. My.. It looks.. Lovely..

Applejack frowned: Well.. It used to be lovely! Before.. the incident..

Twilight Sparkle scowled at Rarity: I'm sure it was lovely Applejack! Could you show us where the Everfree Forest is?

Applejack gave a concerned look: It's.. right over there..

The young pony pointed to far end of the farm. There a series of mangled trees clumped together, seemingly out of place. It was almost as it they did not belong in this landscape, or even this world!

Rarity shivered, once again clinging onto Pinkie Pie tightly

Pinkie Pie: Ooooh.. Spooky!

Twilight Sparkle stared at the mysterious woods, and then finally took a deep breath: Let's get going..

The young unicorn gripped her purple egg tightly, as the four fillies headed down to the woods. Little did they know that four pairs of eyes were staring out at them from the trees.

Cujo: That's her! That's the package!

The hideous Diamond Dog held out his compass directly at Twilight Sparkle, the arrow pointing directly at her.

Fido: The Pony..? Why would Sombra want a Pony?

Cujo slapped his minion on the back of his head: You idiot! That's the Princess of Tambelon! Of course Sombra wants us to bring her to him!

Another Diamond Dog pointed to the object in Twilight's hooves.

Spot: But Boss.. What if Sombra Wants us to bring him the egg?

Cujo slapped himself in the face in frustration: Alright, alright! We'll grab the Princess, and the egg, and the other three ponies as well, and then we'll ask Sombra witch one he wants!

The four ponies continued to approach the forest unaware of the conversation going on in front of them. All of a sudden Applejack paused..

Applejack: Ya know everypony.. I'm not sure if this is such a great idea.. Who knows what kind of critters are waiting in there?

Pinkie Pie put an arm around Applejack: Relax Applejack! What could possibly go wrong?

Cujo: I'll tell you what could go wrong!

The four Diamond Dogs suddenly leapt out of the forest.

Cujo: You being surrounded!

The four fillies screamed as the Diamond Dogs approached them. They quickly scurried in different directions!

Cujo: Oh no you don't!

The leader of the pack lifted poor Rarity by the tail. The young unicorn screamed, kicking her captor the entire time.

Cujo: Don't.. "Oof".. Just stand there.. "Ughh".. Get "Oomph".. the others!

The largest of the Diamond Dogs chased after both Pinkie Pie and Applejack.

Fido: Gotcha!

The bulky Diamond dog held each of the two earth ponies beneath his arms.

Meanwhile another of the dogs chased after Twilight.

Rover: Come here you!

The young unicorn was in such a rush that she tripped on her own hooves. The egg that she held flew the air much to her horror.

Twilight: Noooooooooo!

Just as the egg was about to fall, it fell into the paws of the smallest Diamond Dog!

Spot: Hehehehehehehee!

His partner in crime quickly placed Twilight over his shoulder.

Rover: We got em' boss!

Cujo looked over the captured ponies: Good! "Oof" Now let's get all of these annoying ponies to Sombra!

All of a sudden the Diamond Dogs and their pony captors heard a large roar. Cujo turned and to his horror saw a large Manticore leaping out of the forest towards him.

Cujo: Yeeaaaaaahhh! Run for it boys!

Cujo quickly Rarity to the ground as did the other Diamond Dogs to their captors. As Twilight Sparkle watched the egg drop to the ground, she flung herself forward and caught it just as it hit.

As the Diamond Dogs fled back into the forest Applejack, Rarity, and Pinkie Pie quivered at the Manticore before them. All of a sudden a voice called out.

Fluttershy: Are you okay?

The three ponies turned their heads in confusion. All of a sudden, two familiar pegasi appeared from atop of Manticore.

Rainbow Dash: BwaHaHaHaHa! You should have seen your faces!

Rarities face quickly turned red: Rainbow Dash, you little..!

Applejack looked at the two ponies atop of the Manticore: How did ya'll tame this thing!?

Rainbow Dash placed a hoof around Fluttershy: Thank Fluttershy over here! She's the one who has a way with animals!

Pinkie Pie: Ooh this is so exciting! Now everyone knows each other! Applejack this is Rainbow Dash! Rainbow Dash this is Apple Jack! Apple Jack this is Fluttershy! Fluttershy this is Rarity! Rarity this is Pinkie Pie..!

Rainbow Dash: All right Pinkie Pie, we get it!

The five fillies laughed as they got to know each other! All of sudden Rarity noticed Twilight Sparkle down on the ground.

Rarity: Princess.. Is everything alright?

As Rarity approached the young Unicorn she noticed tears forming in her eyes!

Twilight: The egg.. It's broken..

Twilight Sparkle showed the ponies a large crack that had formed in the egg. Applejack approached to comfort her.

Applejack: It's alright Sugar Cube, it's not as bad as it..

All of a sudden, Apple Jack noticed something.

Applejack: Hold on.. It ain't broken.. It-it's hatching!

The six fillies surrounded the egg as something began to break out of the shell..

Catrina: Remind me again why the package is so important master?

Sombra growled at his second in command: I told you before Catrina.. Within the confines a monster! Or at least, it will become a monster when it hatches! All we need to do is supply it with a little greed.. and a whole lot of evil.. And within a week it will grow to a size large enough to conquer all of Equestria. Not even my father will be able such a beast.. And Canterlot shall be mine!

Sombra laughed sinisterly, his cackling echoing far beyond his castle and across the forest. Thunder clapped as he continued to laugh!

Rarity: Aww.. He's adorable!

The six ponies stared down at the tiny purple creature in Twilight's hooves, sucking on his tail.

Fluttershy: It's a baby dragon! I've never seen a baby dragon before!

Twilight: I didn't even know there were any Dragons in Equestria!

Applejack: Well there certainly ain't any in the Everfree forest! Trust me, I would know..

Pinkie Pie: Baby Dragon Birthday Party!

Pinkie Pie began tossing streamers into the air and blowing into a noisemaker. All of a sudden Rainbow Dash leapt to her hooves.

Rainbow Dash: Hello everypony! That thing is a dragon! And one day it's gonna eat us! And.. and..

All of sudden Rainbow Dash noticed the adorable purple creature eyeing her happily.

Rainbow Dash: ..and, it's so Cuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuute!

Rainbow Dash picked up the baby dragon and hugged it tightly. The other fillies gilled as they watched her do so.

Rainbow Dash blushed: Well.. it is!

Spik n Span: Princess Twilight!

The six girls turned to the familiar voice behind them. High above pegasus soldiers led a chariot carrying Spik n Span, Shining Armor, and ThunderLane in tow. The fillies fidgeted nervously as the chariot landed, and Spik n Span rushed towards them!

Spik n Span pick up Twilight in his hooves: Princess Twilight! Thank goodness your safe! Which means I'm safe! Because your safe! Which means.. You're in big trouble young lady! Your all in trouble! Is that a baby Dragon!?

The fillies smiled sheepishly as Spik n Span's attitude quickly changed.

Rainbow Dash: Heh.. how did you find us..?

Shining Armor approached the ponies, a stern look on his face: ThunderLane informed us that two of his friends had gotten lost in the Everfree Forest, so of course we rushed to rescue them.. Weren't we surprised to find the rest of you here..

With Shining Armor at his side Spik n Span quickly regained his bluster: This is unacceptable! While of course we are relieved that you are all okay, the fact of the matter is none of you should be going outside all willy nilly! Races to the Everfree Forest! Impersonating Royalty! Ooh, when the King and Queen get home..!

Celestia: That's enough Spik n Span..

The entire partly looked upward to see a familiar Alicorn floating down from above.

Twilight: Princess Celestia! I can explain.. The whole thing was my fault! I'm the one who snuck off to the Everfree Forest.. Everypony else just got caught up in it!

Celestia gave a stern look: While I'm sure that's partially true, it seems everypony here played a part in what happened here. Therefore you all must share the blame, and share your punishment together.

The six fillies looked down at the ground ashamed.

Princess Celestia eyed the ponies with a mischievous smile: Your punishment is..

Celestia suddenly picked up the baby dragon in her wing and handed it to Twilight.

Celestia: Caring for this baby Dragon..

Spik n Span's muzzle dropped wide: Are you joking!? That's not a pet, that's a ferocious beast! What kind of punishment is this!?

Celestia gave Spik n Span look which quickly cooled his temper.

Spik n Span: But, what do I know, I'm just a member of the staff.

Celestia placed a wing around the six fillies and their dragon friend: A baby Dragon in Equestria is a rare sight indeed. Almost as rare as a friendship between six ponies such as yourself. I am feeling that there will be many more responsibilities such as this in your future!

Back at Midnight Castle, the four nervous Diamond Dogs slowly approached King Sombra's throne. One look at Sombra's face and you could tell he was not happy.

Cujo chuckled nervously as he approached: H-hey boss.. I have good news.. And I have bad news..

Sombra glared at the quivering canine unmoved.

Cujo: Well, the bad news is.. We lost the package.. but the good news is.. Well I haven't quite thought of it yet.. but when I do..

Sombra: Cujo..

The Diamond Dog was cut off by Sombra's interruption. Sweat poured down his brow as the menacing stallion approached him. Suddenly Sombra placed a hoof onto Cujo.

Sombra: I'm not mad..

Cujo was dumbfounded: R-really!?

King Sombra trotted past the Diamond Dogs nonchalantly, as if he truly didn't care.

Sombra: Of course you failed.. but you tried your best.. and in the end that's all that really matters..

Cujo turned to his Diamond Dog comrades in disbelief. Soon all four were beginning to chuckle to themselves.

Suddenly Sombra turned back to face them: And you know what.. I have good news.. I've decided to hire you..

A happy look suddenly crossed Cujo's face: Really?

Sombra: Yes..

A smile crossed Sombra's face as turned towards the entryway. All of sudden, the doorway swung open revealing Catrina leading three unicorn fillies behind her. All three had wicked looks in their eyes as their horns glowed menacingly.

Sombra: You can all start.. By being target practice.. For my three daughters!

The screams from Midnight Castle echoed across the entire Everfree forest and beyond..

Cujo: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHGH! AT LEAST IT"S A LIVING!

Deep within the city of Manehatten at an unknown location, a cunning group of pirates met with one of the fiercest mob bosses in Equestria!

Don Grif'aun: Sir Charlatan!

The cunning griffin bowed the oversized penguin sitting in a comfortable chair eating fish. The minions at his side could instantly tell you just how powerful he was.

Don Grif'aun: I just want you to know, that I went through a lot of trouble in getting you this package!

The Grif'aun handed the box to Charlatan. The Penguin opened the box with a smile on his face.

Don Grif'aun: I suppose I shall be getting a huge promotion.

The expression on the penguins face suddenly changed.

Charlatan: There's nothing in here..

Grif'aun chuckled to himself: Don't be ridiculous! Why of course there's something in..!

The griffon suddenly grabbed the box from Charlatan's flippers. His eyes desperately darted around the insides of package, searching for the contents. Sweat dripped down his brow as he sheepishly hand the box back to Charlatan.

Don Grif'aun: Well.. No! Technically there isn't anything inside! But you have a very nice box, wouldn't you agree!

Charlatan glanced at the Box and then back at Grif'aun.

Charlatan: Indeed.. Would you like to take a closer look at it?

The large Penguin suddenly slammed the box atop Grif'aun's head.

As the pirates left the city of Manehatten behind them, Don Grif'aun mumbled under his breath stilll rubbing his head.

Don Grif'aun: Those boys tricked me.. I do not care how long it takes.. I will my revenge, if it's the last thing I do!

The fearsome captain raised his sword to the sun swearing his vengance.

A pirate chimed in: He's the famous Captain Don Grif..!

Grif'aun smacked him atop of his head: You ruined my big Dramatic moment!

Back in Tambelon, TroubleShoes and TrenderHoof trudged through the streets in disappointed.

TrenderHoof: I cannot believe this! After all our hard work.. Our one chance at putting our past behind us.. "poof".. Gone life the wind!

TroubleShoes looked at his longtime friend as he grumbled onward. Finally he placed a large hoof on his shoulder.

TroubleShoes: At least we still have each other..

TrenderHoof looked up at his large friend, and a smile slowly crept across his face..

TrenderHoof: Eh.. Your right buddy.. Still, I wonder what was in that package that was so important?

The two teenage colts were so busy talking that they failed to notice the group of fillies led by the royal guard passing them by..

Fluttershy: What should we name him?

Rainbow Dash: It's got to be a cool name like "Dragon Thunder" or something!

Applejack rolled her eyes: There's no way in tarnation were call'n him that..

Rarity pointed an accusing hoof: What do you care? I thought you were running away!

Applejack shuffled nervously: Well.. I can't exactly run away now! I got responsibilities to take care of!

Twilight Sparkle spoke up: Speaking of Responsibilities.. I'm sorry I dragged all of you into this mess..

Rainbow Dash chimed in: What are you talking about? Me and Fluttershy were in trouble long before you guys showed up!

Pinkie Pie grabbed ahold of Applejack: Yeah! And Applejack and me were already running away from home!

Rarity tapped her chin in thought: I suppose I do share a bit of responsibility.. Running away like that and all..

Twilight smiled: Thanks girls, I really appreciate everything you've done. And at least we get to take care of this little "spike" in our life!

The six girls continued to chatter as Shining Armor and Spik n Span smiled at each other. As the two stallions lead the group back into the castle, they realized that this was the start of a beautiful friendship!

Scootaloo: Wait a minute! I thought this was the story of how Twilight, and Rainbow Dash, and everybody else got there Cutie Marks!

Spik n Span tugged at his collar as the Crusaders eyed him suspiciously.

Spik n Span: Well.. It was the beginning of the story.. How they exactly got their Cutie Marks is another story entirely.. Getting a Cutie Mark requires a lot of work and a lot of patience.. But with good friends behind you, following you every step of the way, in due time..

Apple Bloom: Well this is borin'.. Let's get our Cutie Marks in moat swimmin'!

Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo chimed in!

Crusaders: Yeah!

Spik n Span watched in a panic as the three fillies raced out of the armory..

Spik n Span: No, Wait! There are crocodiles in there! Oh nooooo..!

Alicorn party

Alicorn Party

It was night at Canterlot Castle. King Sleipmir was slumbering soundly in a bed of velvet, along with his Queen Faust, dreaming of the day they first met. All of a sudden his dreams were interrupted by a familiar Alicorn..

Luna Said "Um.. Father.."

Sleipmir turned from his future bride to his daughter and said "Luna? What have I told you about visiting my dreams..

Luna glanced backwards nervously.

Then Luna said "My apologies father.. But there's something you should know."

Sleipmir turned back to the mare of his life.

Sleipmir and said "Whatever it is.. I'm sure it can wait till tomorrow.. Now if you'll excuse me.."

All of a sudden Sleipmir was awoken from his slumber by a loud noise. The king of the Alicorns attempted to get himself to his hooves as his wife continued to sleep soundly.

As the noise continued he soon began to realize that the noise was music.. Very loud music!

As his daughters Luna and Celestia suddenly entered the room, a look of realization suddenly crossed Sleipmir's face.

Sleipmir said "Is that what I think it is?"

Celestia nodded as Luna spoke up. "That's what I was trying to tell you about father."

Sleipmir groaned as he rushed over to the balcony. Out in the courtyard, bright colors lit up the night sky as millions of earth ponies, pegasi, and unicorns alike danced in the gardens below. At the center of it all on a large stage stood a Alicorn Sleipmir knew all to well.

Liamire the party alicorn sang "I like to move it, Move it! She likes to move it, Move it! He likes to move it, Move it! Ya like ta?

Ponies shouted. "Move it!"

Sleipmir put his hoof to his head as he watched his nephew dive into the crowd.

Liamire sang "All mares all over the world! Original Prince Liamire in castle ya'll! DJPon3! Make them move their bodies! I like to see them move their bodies! Crank up the beat!"

All of sudden the music stopped, as the headlights shone to the balcony above.

Sleipmir shouted " Liamire!"

Liamire said " Ah, Uncle! Welcome to the Party!"

Sleipmir groaned " Liamire! This is the eighteenth party you've throw this month!"

Liamire said " Actually, it is the nineteenth Uncle.. We are about to go for twenty!"

Sleipmir glared down in disbelief " What are you even celebrating?"

Liamire said " Uncle.. You do not need a reason to Party! This is Canterlot! We can party any time we want!

The ponies cheered as the music picked up again " WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

Sleipmir slammed down his hoof and shouted "Silence!"

The music instantly stopped as the ponies froze in place.

Liamire shook his head with a smile " Uncle, I am just doing my job! After all, I am Alicorn Pony of Parties!"

Sleipmir said " That may be true, but even Alicorns have their limits! And you need to learn!"

Liamire tapped his muzzle in thought "Very well! And I shall learn them.. Right after this party is done!"

The music quickly cranked upward as the ponies in the courtyard continued to dance. Sleipmir's face was quickly turning bright red.

A bright flash of thunder sounded over Canterlot Mountain, as a single figure seemed to fly out of the castle high above and down to the ground below.

Liamire aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGHH!

Prince Liamire fell to the ground face first. He quickly picked himself up and looked back towards Canterlot.

Liamire then said "Okay.. I'll just be heading to Tambelon now.. See you soon!

The Party Alicorn trudged down a dirt road, making his was to Tambelon just as the sun began to rise..

Birds tweeted happily over the Kingdom of Tambelon. Everypony in the city seemed to be hustling and bustling, hanging streamers and balloons from light posts. Up at Tambelon castle, guards attempted to hold off reporters trying to enter the palace gate. Up in one of the highest towers, Twilight Sparkle was listening into her faithful butler as read off a long to do list..

Spik n Span said "Alright Twilight.. First we will be having the royal parade in your honor..

Twilight then said "Spik n Span.."

Spik n Span then said "Then you will be meeting with guest from Absymia to Saddle Arabia.."

Twilight then said "Spik n Span."

Spik n Span "Then we will begin the semi formal, pre dinner dinner party.."

Twilight "Spik n Span!"

The stallion looked over towards the call. Princess Twilight Sparkle was standing in front of mirror in a frilly purple dress. Her good friend Rarity was attempting to sow on the final details to her ensemble.

Spik n Span "Yes Princess.."

Twilight gave a large sigh "Couldn't we just have a simple party with just my friends and not everypony in Equestria!"

Spik n Span shook his head "Princess Twilight.. Everypony went to a lot of trouble to put together this celebration for you.. Think of how selfish it would be to set aside all of there hard work."

Twilight sighed "I suppose your right.."

Rarity looked at the sad expression on Twilight's face as Spik n Span continued to read from the list. As she exited the room she met with a familiar group of ponies.

Applejack "Well?" said the earth pony.

Rarity "You were right.. She's miserable."

Rainbow Dash "Told ya."

Fluttershy "What are we going to do?"

Applejack sighed "As usual, there's only one pony for this kind of situation.. Pinkie!"

The familiar Pink Pony appeared from nowhere in between her friends. "You Rang!"

Applejack "Pinkie Pie, we all know that today is Twilights Birthday. And we know, as usual, her parents and everyone else in the kingdom has gone overboard!"

Pinkie Pie nodded thoroughly "Mmhm, Mmhm, Mmhm, Mmhm!"

Pinkie Pie placed a hoof around Applejack's shoulder "Applejack, Applejack, Applejack, Applejack! You just sit yourself there and leave everything to your Auntie Pinkie Pie!"

Applejack rolled her eyes "I'm a year older than ya'll.."

The whole hallway suddenly went dark. A bright light suddenly shone down as Pinkie Pie presented an elaborate chalkboard to her friends.

Pinkie "All right girl's here's the plan.. Spike will keep Spik n Span busy while Rarity sneaks Twilight out of the castle.."

Spike appeared beside Pinkie Pie "Roger!"

Pinkie continued "Meanwhile.. Apple Jack and I will prepare a party of our own at an undistinguished location.."

Apple Jack: Already got on planned out!

Pinkie "Rainbow! Fluttershy! You two ponies will get the party supplies we need! Here's the List!"

Rainbow saluted "On it!"

Pinkie "If all goes according to plan, we should have a small party with only Twilight's closest friend and nopony will be the wiser."

The six friends put there hooves and claw into the center..

Pinkie "Ready.. Break!"

Meanwhile, out in the streets of Tambelon, Flash Sentry was conversing with his friends about a problem all his own.

Flash "I'm telling you guys.. I just don't know what to get her! I mean what do you get for somepony who has everything!"

TrenderHoof smiled to himself "Well.. If it was me.. I would get her something valuable and expensive!"

ThunderLane scowled at him "And how is he.. Or any of us for that matter.. Supposed to afford that?"

The unicorn smiled pulling out a map and TrenderHoof "Well.. It just so happens I know a mare in Manehatten who just happens too..."

His bulky friend interrupted him.

TroubleShoes "No! No scams!"

TrenderHoof smiled sheepishly and stuffed the map back into his shirt.

TrenderHoof "Sorry.. Old habits.."

Flash rolled his eyes "Well at least you guys are more help than Soarin and Cheese.. Where are they anyway?"

Cheese "Flashy Boy!"

A familiar orange pony appeared out of nowhere and landed atop of his pegasus friend.

Cheese "Have we got news for you!"

Flash eyed his friend suspiciously "New? What kind of news?"

Soarin confidently floated down beside Cheese.

Soarin "It just so happens that your two best buds in the whole world did you a huge solid. We invited the Princess of Tambelon to celebrate her birthday at our place!"

Flash leapt to his hooves in horror.

Flash "You did what!?"

Cheese put a hoof to Flash's muzzle..

Cheese "Shhh.. It's a secret.. Don't tell anypony.. not even me.."

The pegasus flung his friends hoof from his mouth and hissed under his breath..

Flash "Are you guys kidding me.. We live in a hovel on top of a roof.. And you invited somepony who lives in a castle to celebrate there..?!"

Cheese smiled "Yessss!"

Flash face hoofed himself "Look.. "Princess" Twilight is royalty.. What do you think she will think of our little dump of a home..?!"

Cheese thought "Well, she'll probably say something like, Oh what a lovely little hole in the wall!"

A vein began to throb in Flash Sentry's forehead. Taking note of this, ThunderLane decided to step in.

ThunderLane "Putting Flash's feelings aside, isn't the Princess supposed to be attending a celebration in front of all of Tambelon?"

The confident pegasus brushed this off.

Soarin "Don't worry buddy.. Applejack says that Pinkie Pie has a whole plan to get her out of the palace!"

A cold look crossed ThunderLane's face.

ThunderLane "And your telling this to a member of the castle guard why?"

Soaring placed a hoof around ThunderLane's shoulder "Why? Why because if you did anything to try to stop it, you'd be disappointing Princess Twilight! Or worse, Fluttershy!"

ThunderLane groaned "Alright, but make sure it's a small party.."

Cheese "Don't worry! I only invited you, Flash, Soarin, TrenderHoof, TroubleShoes, Applejack, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Spike, Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo, Granny Smith, Big Mac, and a couple other ponies that you didn't even know you were friends with!"

ThunderLane "In what world is that a small party?!"

Cheese "I was just following this guys advice!"

The stallions turned to something that made there eyes pop. Down the streets trotted an all to familiar pony. Music seemed to play as he did so, and buildings seemed to dance as he did so..

Liamire "Hello regular ponies! It is I, Liamire! Equestria's Number One Party Alicorn!"

Flash then said "Hold that thought your parntyness."

He then turn to Cheese and said with and annoyed voice. "Where did you find this guy!?"

Then Cheese said "Oh Sleipmir kicked him out of Canterlot to tech him self control and "party less" Can you believe it how would want to party less?!"

Then Liamire said "When I came to this lovely Kingdome I heard that there was a party and you can't have one with the alicorn of parties."

Soarin then said "But we had parties with you all the time."

Then Liamire replied "Oh well I had another parties to attend to."

Then Flash said "Excuse me your majesty I need to talk to my friends."

The stallions huddle up and Flash looked an Cheese angrily. "Why the heck did you bring this guy here!?"

Then Cheese said "Well duh...Party alicorn. Pulse this could be your big chance to impress Twilight."

Flash saddlery blushes and said "Oh well when you put it that way."

Then Thunderlane said "Are sure about this I've hear his parties can be quit loud and troublesome."

Then TrenderHoof said "Oh let him help less work for us to do."

Thunder then sigh and said "Oh very well Cheese, TroubleShoes you help his majesty with the party along with AJ and Pinkie. While me TrendHoof Soarin and I help Flash find a gift for Twilight."

Then Soarin said "I'm just wondering how the how would the girls say."

Meanwhile back at Flash Soarin and Cheese's home.

AJ and Pinkie Pie then enter then place and then the apple pony said "Whoee! I can believe the boys live in a place like this."

Then the pinkie pony said "Why what's wrong?"

Then CMC enter while pulling a wagon of party supplies and their leader Applebloom said "Oh Applejack! We got those things you wanted us to get!"

Then Applejack said "Good job sugar cub."

Then Sweetie Belle said "EW! This is where Flash Soarin and Cheese live in?"

Then Cheese popped in the room from nowhere and said "Why what's wrong with it?" With Troubleshoes entering as well.

Then Applejack clovers Sweetie's mouth before she can say any thing else and then said "Nothing wrong it's just that well...We're not sure that is gonna big enough for the party were gonna throw."

Then the party alicorn said "Not big enough!? Ha! It's plenty big! Sure it's a little cramped and wall are little close but it just it better to bring down the roof."

Then AJ asked TroubleShoes. "Who is this pony?"

The Troubleshoes said "That Liamire the party alicorn."

Then Pinkie gasp and said "The Liamire! Ah this a dream came true! Oh when I was a little filly!"

Then Applejack plugged Pinkie mouth and said "No time for a song Pinkie."

Then Liamire said "Nonsenses! There's always time for a song!"

Then Liamire's horn light up and then saddlery the CMC are playing instrument that they never knew how to play.

Then after the song the ponies (minus Pinkie and Cheese who were applauding) where standing there dumbfounded.

TroubleShoes said "Why do I get the felling at this going to end badly."

Then AJ said "That because it is."

Meanwhile back at the market place we see Flash Soarin, TrenderHoof and Thunderlane where looking for a gift for Twilight.

Flash grown in frustration and said "This so hard how do you buy something for a mare who has everything!"

Then a mysterious peddler pony approaches them and said "Ah so the young stallion is looking for a gift for his pretty princess no?"

Then Flash said "Ummm how did you?"

Then the peddler said "husss...Come to my shop."

Then suddenly the stallions see him at his stand and then he said "Welcome to stand young stallion a place mystery and enchantment, and the faintest sales in all the land come on down!" After said that lights snig, and a velvet carpet appear.

Then Flash notice there something faller about the old pony and then he said "Discord is that you?"

The peddler said "Oh Discord! I've heard of him his quit handsome and brilliant!" Then a halo appeared over his head, But then he swipes it's away.

Then TrenderHoof said "Well then "not Discord" What exactly do you have to sale?"

The not Discord said "Well I'm glade you asked." He then pulled out a serious unknow item. "Behold it slice it dices and it's makes farcie fires in under ten minutes. But best of all it'll never break, It'll never..." But then the item broke and then he said "It broke." But then he showed the boys something else a small white box and then he said "Behold the ancient winds of saddlearabia!" He then open it a little and said "It's still good."

Then stallions just look at him unused.

Then the peddler just said "Oh you're no fun." Then peddler just transformed in to Discord himself.

Flash said "What are you up to this time Discord?"

The Discord said "Well if you must know one of my good friends is having problems finding a gift for his special some pony!"

Then Flash said "Not that's any of your business but what makes you think I had thing Twilight?"

Then discord pulls out an Equestria girls DVD and said "I watch the entire Equestria girls series."

Flash then gave him a confused look.

But the Discord said "But not important, the point is I've got the perfect gift for you win Princess Twilight Sparkle." He then snaps his claws and a box appears in Flash's hooves.

Then the young stallion said while trying to open it. "What is it?"

Then Discord said "Don't open it!"

Then Thunderlane said "Why is this another one of you tricks Discord?"

Then Discord said "Oh not it just not the right time."

Trenderhoof said "And what is the right time."

Then Discord said "Trust me you'll know, when the right time is."

Meanwhile back the castle in Twilight's room.

Spic n Span greets the King and Queen as they enter, "Behold princess Twilight Sparkle."

He gestures towards Twilight at the center of the room. She wears a beautiful purple ballgown which she clearly is not pleased with.

Tears begin to form in King Nightlight's eyes, "Oh Twilight, you look absolutely beautiful."

Queen Velvet gives a simple smile and places a hoof on her daughter's shoulder, "I know this isn't exactly what you wanted for your birthday today, but your father and I appreciate what you're doing for us today."

Twilight gives off a small sad smile.

"So how's the birthday pony doing today?" A sudden voice cries out.

Twilight watches as her give brother enters to room with his classic BBBFF banter, "Considering the fact that I'm about to throw a party for the entire Kingdom, I've done better."

"Oh really," said Shining Armor approaching his sister. The stallion turns and watches as the King and Queen leave the room, discussing the schedule with Spik n Span. "Well, what if I could tell you it's about to get a whole lot better."

Then Twilight heard a tapping sound of from the window and then she turn and see that Spike and Rarity were out there. Then she open the window and said "Spike, Rarity what are you two doing?"

Then Rarity said "Well Twilight remember when we were fillies we made that swatch-a-roo?"

Then Twilight said "Yes."

Later Rarity magical levitated a dummy look a like of Twilight.

Then Spike said "Are you sure this will fool them?"

Then Shining Armor said "They will with me around."

Then Twilight hugs him and said "Thanks Shining." She then join Rarity and Spike down a window washing scaffold.

Then Spike begins lowing them down with the pulley while Rarity explains the plan. "Okay here's the plan darling we are going to celebrate your birthday at Flash's place."

Then Twilight said "Well that's Rarity but how are we going get pass the guards"

Then Rarity said "Leave that us to us darling." Then the white coated unicorn zapped up a flare.

Not to fare in a cupule of clouds we see Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy and then they saw the flare and then RD said "That it single let's go Fluttershy!"

Then the two pegasus flies to gets some clouds and used them to make a fog and it was so thick that it descanted the guards.

Then one of the guards said "Yeah what's going on? There was fog schedule for today?!"

The the other said "How should know I'm a unicorn!"

While the guards were distracted Twilight Rarity and spike snuck out of the castle with Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy.

Meanwhile at Flash's place.

Then Applejack said "Umm...Liamire I know you're trying to help but does this really count as a small party?"

Then we see a ball pit a stag for DJ Pon-3 and a disco ball.

Then Prince Liamire said "Well of course it is. This smallest magic karaoke machine I could find." Then he shouted to DJ Pon-3 "DJ Pon-3 knack up the beats!"

Then as she plays the music and then it was getting loud but then one of the near by ponies said "What is nose!?"

Meanwhile where on Twilight and the other were way to Flash's place then suddenly they see a brilliant light filled the night sky.

Then Twilight said "What in Equestria was that?!"

Back at Flash's place the music was getting louder. Limier Pinkie, and Cheese were dancing.

But while that Applejack Troubleshoes, and CMC were covering they're ears.

Then Applejack shouted "Umm...Lemire do you think you can turn the music down!?"

Then the party alicorn "Can't hear you!"

Then Applebloom shouted "She said Can you keep it down!"

Then alicorn shouted "Still can't you!"

Then Troubleshoes shouted "She said Can you keep it down!"

Then Someponies came in to the and one of them said "Yeah we're for the open house party!"

Then Applejack said to them "What you are you ponies and there's!?"

Then one of the frat ponies say "Dude we say the flayer!"

Then Applejack said "Flyers?! we don't put any!" Then a look of realized is on her face and then shouted. "Liamire!"

Then the party alicorn said "What you can't have party with with a few more ponies!"

Then Pinkie said "But Twilight wanted a small party."

Then he said "Small party, big party what's the different."

Then Cheese said "But this party is for Twilight."

Then Liamire said "Oh Cheese, Pinkie don't tell me my two favor party ponies have lost the edge."

Then they both said "Well no but.."

"Then Dance!" Liamire proclaimed, "Dance like there's no tomorrow!"

All of a sudden both Pinkie Pie and Cheese Sandwich began to dance uncontrollably.

"Pinkie Pie," Applejack cried, "this is no time for dancin'!"

"It-t-t-t-t's not me-e-e-e-e!" Pinkie proclaimed, "I Ca-a-a-an't Sto-o-o-o-o-op!"

"I can't believe I'm saying this," Cheese cried, "But I think we're partying to much!"

Meanwhile with Flash Trenderhoof Soarin and Thunderlane were walking down the street to the party with discord's gift in hoof.

Then Soarin said "I don't guys what if this is another one of his tricks."

Thunderlane said "Well if it is I'm sure Sleipmir will probably give him a proper punishment."

TrenderHoof said "Well on bright Twilight will get a gift after all."

Flash said "Personally I just hoping that Twilight is enjoying her small party."

Then a loud boom felled the air and then Flash's jaw dropped as he turn a corner when he saw that his little hovel. A top of his roof top home dance over hundred wild and crazy ponies. Coloaded lights and music felled the air, then crowed was so large it felled the area.

Then Flash said "What in Equestria!?"

Flash and the boys attempted and struggled though swim the crowed.

Flash said "Excuse me, pardon me, excuse me!"

They then made to top as they fight to work up the stairs the pass by Applejack

Flash said to her "Who are all this ponies!?"

Applejack then said "Why don't ya'll asked him!" She pointed up the stairs.

"Applejack help!" Ponies watch as Applebloom drowning in a sea of ponies.

"I'm coming sis!" AJ shouted and then swam after her in crowed.

Then stallions finally made to the top and see that Cheese and Pinkie doing a tango.

Then Soarin said "Seriously I thought this was going to be a small party!?"

Then Flash said "Yeah what think when she sees this!?"

"What in the world!?" Then they turn to Twilight with Spike Rarity Rainbow and Fluttershy next to her.

Then Flash said "Of course."

Then Rainbow Dash when to Soarin with an angry look. "We thought told you this was going to be a small!"

Then Soarin said "Don't blame me blame them!" He pointed to Cheese and Pinkie who were still dancing.

Then the two party pony planners said "It wasn't us it was him!"

Then on a big stage where DJ Pon-3 work the turn table stood Limier who shouted to the crowed. "That right everypony shake what your moma gave you!"

Then Twilight said "Limier! What is he doing here!"

Then Pinkie said "Kicked out of Canterlot for throwing too many party!"

Then Cheese said "So we invited him here to help with are party!"

Then Pinkie said "In retrospect that was probably was a bad idea!"

Flash turn to Twilight desperately pleated to her "Oh Twilight so sorry! I didn't want any of this to happened I just wanted to give you the perfect party with perfect gift!"

Then Twilight said "Well actually I'm a little more concern about the loud music! how many ponies can hear this thing?!"

Meanwhile at Tambelon castle the king queen, Shining Armor and "Princess Twilight". Stood in front of a crowed of regal ponies in the ball room.

Then Spik n span stood to preset the royals. "Ladies and gentlecolts it is my great privilege's to introduced to you!"

All of a sudden loud interrupt him and then he was suddenly furious and ran to the balcony and cried out to the streets below. "Would you keep it down! there is a ceremony going on in..." He then creams "AAAAAAAGGGHHHHH!"

A sudden tidal wave of ponies crash down on the balcony and fell the ball room. The gust panic as the wild party ponies swam around them.

Then king queen, Shining and "Twilight" try to desperately to navigate though the sea of ponies. Meanwhile Spik n span noctes a drowning "Twilight" as he reach her, her head suddenly pooped off her shoulders and fell in to the crowed.

"Twilight Sparkle!" Spik N Span screamed. "NNNNNOOOOOO!"

Then he took another look and said "Wait a minute...how?" He then turn to Shining Armor and said "Shining Armor!"

Then king and queen looked at there son with annoyance. shining Armor simple blushed and said "Um...you mean that's not Twilight?"

Twilight Velvet said "Shining Armor where is your sister?"

Back at the hovel the party spared across half of Tambelon, up on the roof Rarity and Sweetie Belle try to stay a float a top of a table.

Rainbow Fluttershy and Scootaloo were trapped in a conga lead by Pinkie and Cheese.

TrenderHoof and Troubleshoes try to stay a float on a life boat. They threw a life preserver out to spike and lore him to their direction.

"That it!" Pinkie cried "Liamire this party must stop at once!"

Then Liamire then said "Stop? Sorry but I can't!"

Then the ponies and spike shouted. "What?!"

Then the party alicorn said "I'm the party alicorn I only know how to start parties not stop them!"

Then Cheese shouted "Why did you started a party this big and don't know how to stop it!?"

Then Liamire said "Well you wanted party for an alicorn princess this is they way to do it!"

Then Pinkie shouted "But Twilight wanted a small party with her closet friends not a crowed of crazy dancing ponies!"

Then Lemire said "But I'm the alicorn parties I can't do any small!"

Then both of the shouted "This party ain't about you!"

Then Limier eyes popped out of his head and said "What, it's not?"

Then Cheese said "Of course not! It was never about you it was always about Twilight!"

Then Limier said "But everypony is having such a good time."

Then they both shouted "Does she look like she having a good time!" they pointed up to the disco ball where Twilight and Flash where desperately clinging for dear life.

Then Limier saw the she wasn't having fun and then said "Oh she looks sad."

Then Cheese and Pinkie shouted "You Think!?"

Then Flash said to Twilight "Twi I'm sorry I should have never let cheese invite that guy!"

Then Twilight said "Well at least It's can't get any worst."

"Twilight Sparkle!" Then two looked down and saw Spik n span with king and queen with him while shining Armor looked down at the ground sheepishly.

"What In Equestria is the meaning of this!?"

Then Flash turn to Twilight again. "Well Twilight I guess this is a good as time as any to give you this."

Then Flash held out the mysterious package and gave it to Twilight and then he said "Happy birthday Twilight."

Then Twilight smiled and said "Flash that's so sweet of you." She use magic to untie the ribbon and open the box the a voice shouted.

"Okay kids what's a box? Is it Sleipmir? Is Celestia? Is it that little cutie from the Equestria girls series? No It's me!"

Cried Discord as he magically appeared and then he pulled and giant vacuumed cleaner and said "And the party is over!"

He then slowly began to vacuum up the crowed of dancing ponies much to the amazement of mane six spike, stallions six, CMC, and the royals. He then contained to vacuum up and down the streets of the Kingdome and his vacuum growing larger and larger as he did so. When it finally looked as if the bag couldn't grow any bigger, Discord took note of a small red tag at the back of the vacuum.

"Should I pull it?" Discord asked coyly. "Yes I should!"

All of a sudden the vacuum exploded releasing dazed and confused ponies across the streets of Tambelon.

"Dude," one the frat ponies cried out picking himself up, "What just happened?"

"Who cares," the other frat pony proclaimed, "Let's go home.."

One by one the ponies on the streets began to scatter heading back to their houses. Back at the hovel Twilight Sparkle with her friends and family looked upon the destruction that Lemire's party had caused to Tambelon.

The party alicorn said "Well it could've been a lot worst."

Then all of sudden the stallions hovel collapses behind them fallowed by numerous another surrounding buildings. Spik n span hold his face in horror as half of Tambelon began to collapse around them.

As the dust saddled the king and queen turn to Twilight with serous glare.

Then Twilight said to her parents. "Mom, Dad I'm sorry..."

But then she was interrupted by Flash who said "Don't blame her your majesties we were the ones who cost the all trouble." He pointed at himself and the others.

Then RD said "Actually it was Limier." She pointed at the alicorn.

Then Applejack gave her a serous frown and then Rainbow said "Well we also might have snuck Twilight out of the castle."

Twilight said to the king and queen "The point is I'm sorry the party didn't when the way you wanted to."

Then Spik n Span said "Well should be your parents myself and many other ponies worked really hard on making party for all of Tambelon and you..."

"All of Tambelon." Limier interrupted. "But this was supposed to be her party."

Then Twilight said "His right this birthday party and all past ones was about the Kingdome not for me. Well this party may not gone exactly as I hoped my friends still put a lot of work in to making me happy in trying to give me of what I wanted for my birthday rather of what everyone else wants it to be."

The king and queen looked at each other and then queen Velvet said "Your right darling we are sorry."

Then Spik n Span said "Well that great but what about all this mess."

Then Discord appears behind him and said "Don't worry chef we can rebuild!" He then snaps his claws and then and hard wear hats were now on the stallions and spike's head. He then whispers to Spik n span. "I'm going to need background checks on these guys and don't one with the scales around the power tools."

Then Flash said "Well where are we going to leave now?"

Then Twilight said "Don't worry about it guy scene this was my party that destroyed your home your more then welcome to stay in mine."

Then Flash said "Yes...I mean thanks." He blush.

Spik n span said "Now hold on a second here!"

Then Shining Armor said "Relax Spik I'll keep and eye on them."

Then Lemire said "Um every one I'm sorry. I guess my party when a little over the top."

Then RD said "A little!?"

Then the party alicorn said "Okay okay, but the point is I've learn a lesson of value and I owe it all to my two favorite party ponies right here!" He was squeeze hug Cheese and Pinkie who smiles at this."

Then after he let them go he said "Well now that's over I guess I should leave seeing how that I'm not welcome here or at Canterlot."

Then Discord appeared in front of him and said "Actually I just got a message for you." He then pulled out a scroll and read it out loud. "Your uncle Sleipmir heard you're learn your lesson and now he welcomes you back to Canterlot." The party alicorn then clapped his hooves in joy.

But then Discord reads the next part. "But the next time you throw a party the hardy you'll be the one spanning a thousand years in a lamp."

The party alicorn then filched at that.

The next were carrying suite casts to Tambelon castle.

Then Soarin said "Well Flash you got your wish we are living in a castle."

Then Flash said "Yeah last night had it's bros and cons."

Then Cheese said "My friends new are leaving the good life now."

Then Thunderlane shows up and said "Good you can start by patrolling the west side of the castle."

The Shining Armor appeared behind them with armors and said "You guys didn't think you were staying here for free did you?"

Soarin then said after he got a helmet on his head "I should have know there was catch."

Then Thunderlane puts a wing on Flash with a smile said "Welcome to the royal guards."

Something with strips this way comes

Something wicked this way comes

Tambelon is having a carnival with roller-coaster fairest wheels, and the plenty of games and food.

Then we see Sweetie Belle Applebloom, and Scootaloo races through the stands fallowed closely by the mane six and Spike.

Then Applebloom said "I can't believe we here in the carnival!"

Then Sweetie Belle said "Look at all the fun stuff here!"

Then Scootaloo said "This gonna be so awesome!"

Then Applejack said "Hold on there youngins'!"

The three fillies paused as they hear the apple pony.

Then AJ said "We got plenty of for fun and games but we got to be responsible about it. Twilight has to judged the talent show, Pinkie has to mann the cotton candy stand, Rarity has the fashion show to enter, Rainbow and Flutter has to keep the sky clear and the apples have a gallon of cider to sale."

Then Applebloom said "Oh come sis can we just go off by our selves for a while?"

Then AJ said "Sorry sis no can do but promise we'll have as much fun as we can. Not unless someone goes with ya."

Then Twilight said "Spike can go with them."

Then spike who at the back of the group suddenly panic and then said "No! not again! Not this no way your not making do it!"

But then CMC when to the little drake with there eyes wide and adorable "Please Spike."

Then spike snig while rolling his eyes "Fine I'll do it."

The trio of fillies said "Yeah!" Then they race while pushing spike in front of them.

Then AJ rolled her eyes and smiled "Kids will be kids."

It was a long day of Spike as the crusaders was taking him on roller costar after roller costar and making him carry their numerus just they were taking a break from the fun and the games. A familiar and annoying voice called out to them.

"Well look who it is." then the crusaders turn and looked and see that it was the spoiled little brats Diamond Tiara and Silver spoon.

DT then said "The Blank Flank crusaders let me guess trying in eating candy?"

Then Applebloom said "Diamond Tiara don't have anything better to do then to bug us?"

Then Scootaloo said "Yeah like jumping off a cliff."

DT smirked and said "Nope you three are the only blank flanks at this entire carnival."

Then Sliver Spoon said "I bet there the only blank flanks in all of Tambelon."

Then Spike said "Oh come on you two you know that's not true."

Diamond then said "No one was talking you baby dragon."

Then Spike grumbled under his breath "I'm year older then you."

Then Sweetie Belle said "Hey you can tease us but don't tease Spike his Princess Twilight's assent!"

Then DT said "What ever it's more fun to pick on you three anyway."

But then they hear a voice that said "Diamond Tiara! Silver Spoon! Come on your mother wants a photo with the king and queen!"

So then DT said "Coming daddy." But before she and silver Spoon took off she said to the CMC. "Catch ya later blank flanks!"

Then after they left the crusaders grumble to them selves.

Then Spike said "Don't lessen to them you three dragons don't have cutie mark we get along just find."

Applebloom then said "That's because your not supposed to have cutie marks."

Then spike frowns at her and Applebloom said "I'm sorry Spike it's just those two where do they get off of being so high and mighty just because they got their cutie marks so early."

Then Sweetie Belle said "If only there was some way we can get our cutie mark."

Then Scootaloo said "Well forget it you herd what every pony else said."

Then all three of them spoke together in annoyance. "A cutie mark come to those who wait."

"Oh does it now?" A mysterious voice chimed in.

The three fillies and spike turned to see a mysterious figure behind them. He had a tall top hat and a bow tie. He was covered in stripes from head to hoof, and had a small bone in his muzzle. He gave the Crusaders a wide smile with with a golden tooth.

Spike eyed the figure suspiciously, "Who are you?"

The figure smiled, "Who me? Why I'm Dr. Z! Zebediah for short, but you can call me Zeb.."

Sweetie Belle spoke up, "I've never seen a pony like you before."

"Why me, why I'm just Equus grevyi, otherwise known as the common Zebra."

"And what brings you to Tambelon?" Spike asked, "I thought Zebra's were supposed to live in a faraway place."

The Zebra smiled, "Why I go where I'm needed my fine Dragon Friend. And Right now I believe I am needed right here with these poor little fillies."

Zeb gathered the Crusaders close to him, "I saw that despicable display performed by those wretched little monsters, and believe me I feel for you. My fellow zebras They never understood my particular talents, not even my own sister."

Applebloom sighed, "I know how that feels."

The Zebra continued, "That's why I go from town to town helping little ponies in need. And right now I'd like the three of you with your particular problem."

The zebra waved out a cane labeled with a Z and an E, "With my mystical powers, I can personally see to it that no one ever call's you three fillies Blank Flank's again."

Scootaloo looked at him puzzled, "I thought you couldn't get a cutie mark with magic?"

"Oh believe me my dear," the Zebra smirked, "There are ways to get around that."

"Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa!" Spike cried out to the three fillies as he grabbed them and pushed them away from Zeb. "Didn't anyone teach you three not to talk to strange ponies! And believe me no one is stranger than this guy! Seriously he is.."

"Don't you disrespect me little Dragon!"

"Yipe!" Spike cried as Zeb appeared behind him.

"Don't you derogate or deride"

The zebra began leading the CMCs to a mysterious and spooky caravan.

"You're in my world now, not your world"

Without the CMCs noticing, Zeb kicked Spike with his hind leg, bucking him into a dumpster, "Whooooooaaa!"

"And I've got pals on the other side"

He opened the door to his caravan and mysterious voices called out.

"He's go pals on the other side"

"Just an echo little ones," Zeb reassured the girls as he led them inside.

"Just a little parlor trick where I come from, don't worry"

"Sit down at my table," He sat the three of them at a table, "put your mind at ease"

"If you relax it will enable me to do anything I please," The fillies failed to see him slap his hoof with a mysterious shadow.

"I can see your future," He pulled out a mirror in front of them, "I can change 'round some too"

"I'll look deep into your heart and soul"

He took Applebloom's hoof with a smile, "You do have a soul, don't you, darlin'?"

"Make your wildest dreams come true"

Zeb waved his cane into the air shooting magic back and forth.

"I've got hoodoo, I've got voodoo"

"I've got things, I ain't even tried"

He approached the crusaders, "And I've got pals on the other side"

"He's got pals on the other side"

Applebloom, Scootaloo, and Sweetie Belle looked at the mirror curiously. They could that they had just heard voices coming out of it.

"The mirror, the mirror, the mirror will tell," Zeb gestured the fillies towards the mirror.

"The past, the present, and the future as well," Zeb pushed the crusaders up close to it.

"The mirror, the mirror, look and see"

"Take a little look into your future with me"

Zeb approached Applebloom.

"Now you Applebloom, are from a farm far away"

"You spent your whole life round' apple trees and hay"

"Your hopes are high, but your marks are low"

"You need a special mark to tell you where to go!"

He then approached Sweetie Belle.

"For you Sweetie Belle, you're tales untold"

"You want to show the world that you're brave and bold"

"Your heart says yes, but your flank says no"

"You got get out on stage and give em' a show."

Finally he passed by Scootaloo.

"As for you Scootaloo, I don't want to waste much time"

"You've been nothin' all your life"

"You've been shadowed by your mother, and your father, and your brothers"

"And as for your aunties, well you're shadowed by them too"

He then stood proudly before the tree fillies.

"But in your futures, the three I see"

"Are exactly the ponies you've always wanted to be"

Zeb reached out his hoof to the three crusaders.

"Take my hoof," the three ponies looked at each other suspiciously.

"Come on fillies, won't you take a poor zebra's hoof"

Applebloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo each took a deep breath and then together shook Zeb's filthy hoof.

"Yes," Zeb smiled as mysterious shadows seemed to swirl around the room seeming to come from the mirror.

"Are you ready?"

"Are you ready?" the shadows cried.

"Are you ready?" Zeb cried.

"Time to make some changes"

"Time to make some changes"

"Time to make some changes"

"Time to make some changes"

"Time to make some great big changes," Zeb smiled wickedly as the shadows exited the Caravan and flooded throughout the streets of Tambelon, "Can you feel it?"

The Crusaders held each other in terror as Zeb continued to sing, "Things are changing, they're changing, they're changing alright!"

"I hope you're satisfied, but if you ain't don't blame me"

"You can blame my pals on the other side!"

The shadows reappeared in behind Zeb as they danced in front of the girls.

"You got what you wanted"

"What you want's what you get"

All of a sudden the shadows, the caravan, Zeb himself all seemed to suck themselves up into the mysterious mirror vanishing as they did so.

"Hush"

The Crusaders opened their eyes to find themselves back in the middle of Tambelon's carnival. All three looked down at their flanks, and saw that to no surprise they were sill cutie markless.

Scootaloo frowned, "Well that was a ripoff."

The CMC then looked around the caravel to look for Spike and the mane six.

Then Sweetie Belle said "Hope their not to angry with us we are not supposed to slit up with spike."

Then Applebloom said "I'm more worried about where spike is anyway? You don't think that creepy zebra did something to him do ya?"

Then Scootaloo rolled her eyes and said "Please that guy guy was a total phony. He said he got magic powers and look nothing happend."

Then they hear two screams crying out as DT and Silver Spoon race down the streets in terror.

Then Applebloom looked at them in confusion. "What the matter with you two."

Then DT shouted "What's wrong with us look!" the two of them wave out their flanks and in front of the crusaders that they are all to filmier with and they this time how ever something was different.

Then Silver shouted "Our cutie marks are gone we blank flanks!"

Then DT said "But that's not the worst part look what happen to my parents!"

Then Crusaders turn and looked and saw a filly and a foal standing in the street.

"But sweetie come down there no reason to be up set!" The foal said.

Then the filly said "Not to be upset!? I can't even in my full-length gown anymore! What did you do!?"

Then DT and Silver Spoon ran off again in a different detraction. Then the crusaders looked at each other confused for a minute.

Then Sweetie Belle then chimed in "Well at least they can't call us blank flanks anymore."

But the suddenly a realization dawn upon Applebloom's face. "Wait a minute guy you don't think that Zeb guy..."

All of a sudden Spike appeared and said "Guys it an energy!"

He then led the fillies down the streets of the carnival as they race about they saw that there was were no adults around only fillies and foals.

As they approach the talent show area they see six fillies that look strangely familiar. The white unicorn with a pulper mane scream bloody murder. An orange pony with a blond mane try to clam her down.

"Rarity get a hold of your self! This an't the end of the world!"

Meanwhile a pink fillies was bouncing around much to the annoyance to the blue pegasus. "Pinkie Pie how can you be so happy right now!?"

Then Pinkie said "Isn't this great we can have are cute-cean era all over again!"

Meanwhile with a pulper unicorn filly try to convert a crying yellow pegasus.

"Don't worry Fluttershy I'm sure we'll figure this out."

Then CMC approach them in utter confusion and Sweetie Belle said "Who are this ponies?"

Then Spike looked dumbfounded "You don't recognized them their!? There Twilight and the others!"

Then Applebloom approach AJ "Applejack is that you?"

Then AJ said "unfortunately it is sugar cub! I don't how this happened but we all got turn in to fillies again!"

Then Sweetie Belle goes and comforts Rarity and said "Um...Well it we might know what happened."

Then RD stop chasing Pinkie and turns and looks at the CMC and said "What do you mean by that."

Then Scootaloo grid nervously and said "We my have met some pony or some zebra that told us that he can help us with our cutie mark problem and made sure no one called us blank flanks again."

Then Applebloom join in nervously "And my possibly done that by taking away every ponies cutie marks and turn the adults in to foals."

then the mane six cried out "What?!"

Then Twilight looked at Spike and said "Spike how could you let this a happened."

Then Spike said "What your blaming me for this?!"

AJ said "You supposed to be watching them!"

Then Spike shouted "I was watching them but then there was this zebra with magic cane and his creepy song!"

Twilight said "Enough! We'll just go to Tambelon castle and ask my parents of how to fix this."

The mane six crusaders, and spike looked upon the thorn room dumbfounded.

King king knight light now a colt was casing a little queen Velvet with a spider on a string. A foul version of Spik N Span was setting in the middle of the room in despair, tear steaming out of his eyes.

Then a young shining Armor appeared before them. "Twilight sparkle what did you do!?"

then Twilight said "Your blaming me for this?!"

Then spike fake cough in his claw "Irony."

Then Twilight said "Look apparently everypony in the Kingdome had been turn to to a filly again without their cutie marks!"

Then Spik approach them and said "Well who's is responsible for this?"

Then the mane six eyed the CMC who smiled sheeplsiy and then AJ said "That's not imported right now we to find some way to turn us back."

Then an idea popped in Twilight's head "Wait a minute if a zebra coast all of this maybe it was voodoo magic."

Rainbow Dash said "Voodoo magic what in Equestria is that?"

Then Twilight said "Not in Equestria. Farasi."

Then Pinkie said "Farasi?"

The Twilight the levitate a book to her. "Farasi is a fare away lands that home to Zebras and they specialized in voodoo magic."

Then Fluttershy said "Who-Doo?"

then Twilight said "No voodoo. According to my book voodoo can be befoamed with out unicorn magic but it can be only ever be used to help other ponies never ones selves."

Then Scootaloo said "Well that zebra sure did this for himself."

Then Spik eyed her curiously and then she said "not that I would know."

Then Twilight continued "Well according to this book there are ways to twist ponies wishes around but only at a terrible price."

Sweetie Belle said "Well this terrible enough."

Then Applebloom whispers to AJ and said "We sorry sis we just wanted our cutie mark."

Then AJ said "Well you should be I told ya not to take a word from strangers. But hopefully you've learn something from all this." Then the two sister hugged out. As did Rarity and Sweetie Belle and lastly Rainbow and Scootaloo.

Then Twilight said "I've read that only way to undo a voodoo curse is with another zebra's voodoo's magic."

Then Pinkie said "Like Zecora?"

All the other ponies looked at her in confusion and then she said "You know Zecora the zebra who leaves in the EverFree frost who help out all ponies with their problems with her voodoo magic."

Then Twilight said "Remember hearing about Zecora but I thought she was a myth."

Then Rarity said "Well Zeb if this Zeb fellow is real maybe she is too."

Then AB said "Great let's go out and find her!"

Then AJ said "Hold on you three I know you want to right the wrong you done. But you too young to gone on this kind of mission."

Then Spike said "Well actually I think they might be older then you are now."

AJ said "Well yes but mean to say was..."

"Enough!" Spik N span said "Right now your all to young to go into the EverFree Frost but senses we don't having any options at the moment you all have to do it together!"

Then fillies and Spike said "Okay."

What none of the foals don't realize that someone was watching them through magic mirror it Zeb and he said "going to see my goodie four hooves sister are we? We'll just see about that." All of a sudden the mirror just changed and numerous shadowy figures appeared before him.

"Pals nice it is to see you again." Then shadows seem to growl at him without saying a word. Zeb smiled at them sheeplsiy pulling at his caller. "Now I know you all must be upset with me. My debt to you and all."

Then he pulled out his cane and said "But now you see now I have all the cutie marks in Tambelon just waiting to be delivered to you."

The shadow seam to smile as they say the worm glow from his cane.

Then Zeb said "But if those ponies get to my beloved sister the cutie marks will be return to everypony and you'll would be still imprison."

Then shadows growled and shrilled around his cane and Zeb smile and said "Now the real fun startes."

Meanwhile out side Eeverfree frost we see the young mane six the CMC and Spike going into the frost.

Then Fluttershy said "Why do I get the strange felling of deja vu."

Then Applebloom said "Because you been here before when you were fillies."

Then AJ said "How did you know about that?"

Then AB said "Spik n Span told us."

Then AJ said "Of course that high horse wouldn't keep his mouth shout."

Then Twilight said "That not imported right now what is imported is we find this Zecora."

Then RD said "Well can't be too hard the last time we were here we took on a manticore what can be more dangerous then that?"

Then all of a sudden a loud roar felled the air and the y turn to came face to face with a four headed hydra.

Then RD said "You suddenly I miss the manticore." Then they all scream in a panic and began to scatter for their lives.

The hydra heads start to give case them form diffident angles.

Then Spike said "Twilight I really hope you got a plan!"

Then Twilight said "As a matter of fact I do! Everypony follow my lead!"

Then Twilight led one of the hydra's heads thought the tree and having it rapped around a tree. Seeing this the other ponies quickly fallow suite.

Then one head was casing AB but it couldn't reach her. then they laugh at the creature as they saw it's neck tied up in knots for amigos the trees.

Then RD said "Well look like we got this rapped up!"

Then Scootaloo asked her "Do you always go on adventures like this when you were our age?"

Then RD said "No."

Then the crusaders eyes her suspiciously.

Then Rainbow said "Okay yes but they were extremely dangerous. So don't go doing the things we did."

Then Twilight said "Okay back to finding Zecora."

The foals and Spike continued to make there way through the Everfree forest, completely unaware of the menacing shadows watching them from the trees above.

All of a sudden one of the shadows swooped down and grabbed Applejack!

"Whoa!" Applejack cried out.

"Sis!" Applebloom screamed in a panic.

Upon seeing this, Twilight Sparkle blasted a beam of light up to the shadow, giving her time to escape.

As the ponies and gather around Applejack, trying to assess if she was okay, Fluttershy took notice of something.

"Look," Fluttershy cried out.

The ponies and Spike panicked as they noticed numerous other monstrous shadows approaching them through the trees. The foals quickly scurried away trying to avoid the shadows but to no avail.

One shadow squirted out numerous tentacles which grabbed ahold of Spike, Sweetie Belle, and Rarity.

A larger shadow crunched down massive jaws upon Applejack and Applebloom.

Another smoozed itself all over Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, and Scootaloo.

Yet another buzzed through the air like a bee, and grabbed ahold of Pinkie Pie.

Twilight Sparkle turned to help her friends, but suddenly a massive shadow with what appeared to be horns came behind her and grabbed her.

As the fillies and spike struggled to escape, another shadow appeared and formed a ring of shadowy flames around them

Applebloom looked upward and to her amazement saw what appeared to be Zeb riding atop of what appeared to be a twister made of Shadows.

The wicked zebra grinned, "End of the road for you lot fillies!"

All of a sudden a brilliant flash of light filled the air driving the shadows and Zeb away.

And the fillies eyes adjusted, they looked upon a hooded figure approaching them, "Oh ponies of such little size, was that Zebediah before my eyes?"

Then the male zebra picked himself up and said "Ah if it isn't my dear sister Zecora."

Then Twilight Sparkle spoke up "You're Zecora the legendary zebra the lives in EveerFree frost!?"

Then The female zebra said "Indeed I am my little foals." Then she turn to Zeb. "Tell me brother what is your goal?"

Then Zeb gave a toothy grin "Oh you now me I'm just doing a little job for my pals on the other side." The shadows seem to grin behind Zeb.

Then Zecroa said "fool can not trust your friends they will all betray you in the end."

Then Zeb smirks "Sister must you speak in rhyme I really haven't got the time."

Then Zecroa said "Be gone you have no power here. EeverFree woods will keep you clear."

Then Zeb said "Suite yourself there's nothing you ponies can do to stop me anyway."

With that the shadows swirled around Zeb making him vanish.

With the villain gone Zecroa turn to the fillies and spike and said "Come young ones there is much to be done."

Later Zercoa lead the them deeper in to the woods until they finally came to old halo tree decorated with mask and totems.

As they enter tree Twilight spoke up "Excuses me Zecroa."

But then Zercoa said "That is some cruse my brother place, we must undo it and make haste."

Then AJ said "How did you know that we were..?"

Then Zecroa interrupted "I recognize my brother's work he really is quite the jerk. Tell fillies I must ask, how did all this come to past."

So mane six and Spike glance over to the crusaders looking guilty and finally Scootaloo shouted in annoyance "Alright we get it was us stop glancing at us okay!"

The Applebloom approached Zecroa and said "All we wanted was our cutie marks, but Zeb took everyone else cutie mark instead."

Then the voodoo zebra turn to her caldron and began to stir it, "Zeb's shadowy friends are felled with greed and cuties are they feed. Unleased the marks are returned to you Equestria will soon be through." Flames appeared from the caldron.

Then ponies and Spike shivered at the sight and then Fluttershy said "C-c-couldn't you un do the curse?"

Then Zercoa said "A zebra's can magic can be broken, but the power Zeb holds is unspoken. Only the ones who made the deal, can make the Cutie Marks revealed.

Applebloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo were taken aback!

"You want us to break the curse," Applebloom cried.

Zecora smiled, "Zeb's dark powers have a source..

The Crusaders smiled, "The Mirror of Course!"

Then Scootaloo said "All we have to the brake the mirror and the cutie marks will be freed!"

Then Sweetie Belle said "Well that's easier said then done. His not just going to give it us so we can brake it."

Then RD said "Leave that us."

Meanwhile back at Tambelon castle. we see Zeb set on the throne while the king and queen cried.

Then the wicked zebra said "Ah this is what I'm made for boys a throne, a castle that's the life for me."

Then the shadows smile wickedly behind him and the he said "And now that we have all the cutie in Kingdome we can move to the rest of Equestria!"

Then a voice shouted "That's what you think bub."

Then a big fat red tomato slams on to Zeb's face. "What!?"

Then he saw RD and Fluttershy with a bucket of tomatoes and the two fillies giggled. "Aww well what's a matter Zeb you look a little red in the face!"

Then Zeb said "Bring those tomatoes down you punk brats!"

Then Rainbow Dash smiled and said "Okay but only because you asked!"

Then RD and Fluttershy toss the bucket of tomatoes on to Zeb's head panting him red Zeb was now anger then ever. "AAAAAGGGGHHHHH!"

He then chase after them rushing thought castle all the way to the court yard "When I get ahold of you two fillies!"

All of a sudden he screech to a hold. At the center of the count yard stood an army of fillies armed wit tomatoes.

And Twilight leading the charge said "Get him."

Zeb screams could be heard all the way back up to the throne room.

Three smiling fillies look down at the scene.

Then Scootaloo said "I wish we can be in on that."

Applebloom said "No time we got to find that mirror."

Then the three fillies look around the entire throne room but could not find the mirror anywhere.

Then Sweetie Belle said "I don't get it's got to be here some where?"

Then AB spoke "Look!" Lying the center of the throne room it was Zeb's cane he been in such a rush the he comply forgot about it.

Then three fillies approach the cane curiously "I don't get it." AB said picking the cane up.

"What so powerful about this.." All of sudden a blast of light came from the cane.

Then the crusader eyes eyes a jested and they saw the mirror right in front of them.

Then AB said "Come on girls! Let's broke this thing!"

Then the CMC try everything in there power top brake the thing. They try tossing it down the stairs hitting with rocks and even smacking it with the cane but nothing worked.

Ab try to catch her berth "There's got to be a way to break this thing."

Then a voice said "Not in this life time!"

The Crusaders turn to see Zeb re enter the throne room the mane six and Spike here in the clutches of his shadows.

"Your three are becoming quite the nuisance for me and after everything I done for you."

Scootaloo said "You know darn well you didn't do anything for us! You only did this for yourself!"

Then Zeb whapped a tomato off his nose. "Tomato toemato. What are you going do about? You fillies got nothing!"

Applebloom thought for a moment and then she said "Well we have you're cane!"

Then a look of fear then cross Zeb's face. "Now hold on there be carful with that thing!"

A look of curiosity was Sweetie Belle's face and said "Why is this thing so imported to you?"

Then Zeb eyes darted back and forth nervously "Oh no reason it's just a family heirloom."

Applebloom smiled as she realized the truth. "The mirrors not your score of power this!"

Zeb said "No No! Be carful with that! If it brakes I'm gonna be!"

AB then slams in to the ground braking it.

Zeb then shouted "NO! what have you done!?" He then ran to pick up the peaces. "How am I going to pay back my..."

He then glace back at his "Pals". The shadows began to loosen their grips on the Mane six and Spike and began to swirl around him.

"Bum bum, bum bum, bum bum, bum bum"

"Bum bum, bum bum, bum bum, bum bum, Bum!"

The shadows smiled wickedly, "Are you ready?!"

"No! I'm not ready at all!" Zeb pleaded, "In fact, I have lots more plans!"

"Are you ready!?" The shadows repeated taunting Zeb.

This is just a minor setback! As soon as I have this can fixed we'll be back in business.

The shadows grabbed on tightly to Zeb, tying him up in a sticky web of Darkness.

"No please!" Zeb pleaded, "I promise I'll set you all free! I promise!"

The shadows began to drag Zeb to the Mirror pulling him ever closer to it.

"Bum bum, bum bum, bum bum, bum bum"

"Bum bum, bum bum, bum bum, bum bum"

"Bum bum, bum bum, bum bum, bum bum"

"Oooohh.."

The shadows pulled Zeb into the mirror, as if my magic.

A bright flash of light blinded the ponies. When their eyes adjusted, they saw the mirror was shattered into pieces..

"Husssssh.."

The mane six spike and the crusaders looked at each other confused.

Then Rainbow dash spoke up "Well that was wired."

All of sudden brilliant a swirl of light surrounds the mane six lifting the fillies of the ground.

One by on their cutie marks return to them suddenly the brilliant light when over all of Tambelon.

When the crusaders and Spike looked at the mane six again they see them back to their now fully grown again.

Then Twilight leaped and hug the CMC tightly. "You did it!" Then three fillies then hugged her back.

Suddenly The king queen , and Spik enter the room confused "What in the world just happened!?" Spik N Span said.

Then Twilight said "It's a long story."

Later on that day Zercora enter the throne room.

"You wish to see me your majesties."

The king queen and Twilight smiled at the zebra.

"Yes." King nightlight said "The Kingdome is in desperate need of someone who's an expert on strange magic and well we the feeling you just the zebra for the job as mythical adviser. What do you say?"

Then the Zebra said "I honored."

Then Twilight approached the new mythical adviser. "Perhaps you can start with this." She then showed her the two pieces of Zeb's cane. "Why was this cane of Zeb's so powerful anyway?"

Then Zecroa took the hilt of the cane and turn it and then she said "Look carful and you will see that it's E and N not Z and E."

Meanwhile for off in the distance King Sombra looks at the Crooked cane thought Catrina's crystal ball "The hunt is on." He growled."

Back of the entrance of Tambelon Flash and the boys notice the CMC cleaning up the carnival as he walked by he asked them. "So what did we miss?"

Lets get mysterious

Lets get mysterious

Night fall in the city of Trotham city then suddenly an exclusion lights up the skies as the Mane-iac burst out from the natural history museum.

"Mahahahahaha! With the griffin gantlet soon those who mocked me and my work will quick in terror!"

Suddenly a voice cried out in to the night "I am the terror that trots in the night I am the barber to the bed head of evil! I am Mare-do-well!"

"Blast you Mare-do-well!" Mane-iac shouted. "Hey there's an idea blast you. Yes blast you mare do well!" She then pulled out her bazzoka and attempts to fire on mare do-well.

But the daring mare of mystery dodges each blast by leaping from roof top to roof top.

But then suddenly green tufts of mane gripped mare do-well from behind.

"They just begun." A voice cried out. She then turn and saw "The Mane-iac!? But how?"

Mare do-well was now looking at the Mane-iac who was under her hoofs.

Then she saw it's head popped open reliving a machinal arm holding out a bomb.
"Looks like it's the end of you mare-do well! Mwahahahaha!"

"Nooooo!" Screamed Spike and Rainbow Dash.

"To Be continued!?" Rainbow Dash cried as the end credits began to roll. "But it was getting to the best part!"

"Don't worry." A voice spoke up from behind the comic book counter. "They'll be a new episode next week."

They were in a big comic book store know as the comic Stabls and its run by an brown earth pony with a black mane named Quibble Pants.

"Next Week!?" Spike cries. "I can't wait that long!"

Rainbow Dash spoke out "Will Mare-do-well be able to stop the Mane-aic? Whole she stop the Phony Pharaoh and what's going to happen to Hundrum!?"

Then the counter pony then said "You do know it's just a tv show right?"

"Just a TV show?!" Rainbow Dash said "Just A TV Show!? Mare Do-Well is a way of life!"

Then Quibble pants the counter pony chucks. "I'm thinking you guys been watch to much of Mare Do-Well lately."

Spike then cross his arms "Your one to talk Quibble Pants." He pointed behind the counter. "You got every issue of the mysterious mare do-well ever made."

Then Quibble pants frown "That different the TV show isn't cannon."

Rainbow Dash and Spike rolled their eyes.

"Aren't you you two done." A voice asked entering the comic book shop. It was Twilight with Flash standing besides her.

"No we are not done." Rainbow Dash frowned. "We still got to talk to Quibble Pant about the convention next week."

"Really?" Twilight asked "You're going to that convention again?"

"Hey!" Quibble pants chimed in "Mare do con is a place for all fans Mare Do-well power ponies, and Daring Do!"

"Well." Flash Chimed in "Your not dragging the rest of us with you."

Later at the con Flash said "I can't believe they dragged the rest of us with them." Flash Sentry Stood beside his friends Cheese Sandwich (who was dress as filly second) and Soarin.

Then Soarin said "AW come on everypony is a fan of Mare do-well."

Then Flash rolled his eyes and said "Right and this had nothing to do with impressing Rainbow Dash?"

"Your the talk." Soarin spotted. "Aren't you here to help a crenate princess to find a rare copy of Daring Do?"

And Flash then shot "You know I've been fan of Daring do since I was a colt."

The Soarin said "No you we grew up on the streets together with us remember we didn't have time to read."

"I remember reading Daring Do." Flash said proudly and then a confused look came across his face. "Though I don't know how."

Then Cheese said "Yeah well I'm just here for the costume contest!" He then suddenly appeared dress up as Filly second.

Then suddenly Pinkie Pie was appeared dress up as the Mane-iac. "Ha filly second we meet again!"

Then Cheese playing along "We do in deed Mane-iac! I will stop you're evil seam!" The two laugh as they pranced away.

"Glade to see their having fun." Flash and Soarin turn to see Twilight Spike, and Rainbow Dash approaching them. "So Flash are you ready to get rare signed copy of Daring Do? I heard they have rare cover on it never release in stores!"

Flash smiles and said "Looking forward to it."

Rainbow Dash Soarin and Spike watches as the two ponies disappeared into the crowed.

"So." Rainbow Dash said while placing her hoof on Soarin. "Are you ready to meet Quibble Pants?"

Soarin smiles "If he is as exciting as you say he is."

"His awesome!" Spike cried waving his claws in the air. "He knows everything there is to know about Mare do-Well! He even promise to introduce us to Gallup Gadot!"

"Who?" Soarin asked confused.

"Umm, Gallup Gadot" Rainbow sarcastically "The actress who played the mare-do well on TV?"

Then Soarin said "Oh right."

Rainbow Dash continued as the ponies and Spike headed down convection. "Quibble Pants owns a pretty popular comic shop so he know a lot of famous celebrities."

"Oh your fatter me." A voice spoke up. They turn to see Quibble Pants approaching them.

"Quibble Pants!" Spike cried out and then he saw a little purple pegasus filly next to him. "Who's she?"

Then Quibble said "Everypony I like to introduce you to my step daughter Wind Sprint."

"Hmph." The tiny pony frowned.

Then Soarin said "Hey Rd you didn't tell me the guy was married."

Then Rainbow Dash said "He wasn't the last time I check."

Then Quibble said "Well I was seeing a incredible mare named Clare skies and a while after that we got married and now I'm a daddy!" He hugs on the Wind Sprint tightly.

"What ever." The filly frown again.

"She...umm... Adjusting." Quibble said.

Rainbow Dash Soarin and Spike glance at each other.

Then Clare skies a unicorn mare appears and said "There you guys are." She then nuzzle up to Quibble "Who are your friends?"

Then Quibble said "This is Rainbow and Spike my two best customers."

"And Soarin!" Soarin chimed in "That's me I'm Soarin."

Then Quibble said "Well Rainbow I got myself a wife and now you got yourself a boyfriend."

"What!?" Both Rainbow and Soarin screamed their faces turning red.

"No we're not." Soarin chimed.

"His not my." Rainbow shouted.

"We barely now each other." Soarin said.

"WE are not dating!" The both of them shouted.

"Uhhmhm." Spike muttered under his breath.

Quibble pants Clare skies and Wind Sprint looked at the two in confusion.

"So anyway." Quibble said "Shall we get going?"

"Yes we are going to meet Gallup Gadot." Rainbow said.

Pinkie and Cheese got into a long line of costume ponies holding their exactment.

Then Pinkie said "Eeeeeee, it's so existing! I can't wait for us to win!"

"I know me either!" Said Cheese.

"Ha ha ha." Laugh a pony behind them wearing a mow hawk and shades. "Can you believe these guys Rock Roller?"

Then the other stallion wearing a tank top and cargo pants said "Yeah Hip hop. Can you believe these power pony punks can beat us in the costume contest."

"Hey that's not very nice." Pinkie said to the two behind them.

Hip hop said "Just stating the fact little filly."

"Hey!" Said Rock Roller "We've been winning this costume contest last five years in a row."

"Well no a offense." Said Cheese "But your costumes ant's all that great."

"HA!" Hip Hop said "Can you believe this foal? Thinks these are our costumes."

"What!?" Said Pinkie.

Rock Roller "Girl we never put on costumes till the last minute keep the compaction on there hooves."

"Haller!" Said Hip hop the two chuckles while they walk pass Pinkie and Cheese in the line.

Pinkie Pie's mouth dropped wide open. "Cheese!" She grabbed a hold of the her friend "WE got to go find better costumes!"

"Way?" Cheese asked.

Then Pinkie said "Sop we can beat those two pony jerks from beating us in the contest!"

"But I thought we we're doing this contest for fun." Cheese said.

"WE are!" Pinkie proclaimed "And what's more fun then beating a couple of meanies! Mwa hahahaha!" She laugh evilly.

then Cheese said "Umm you're laughing evilly."

"No I wasn't." Said Pinkie Pie glancing back and fourth.

At the other end of then convection were over at the Daring Do section.

Twilight and Flash were walking to where the daring do books are being soled.

Then Twilight said "Oh I can't wait to see the new cover! I read the book but then cover is supposed to add a hole new level of detail to the story!"

Then Flash said "Well let's hope we get to see it. I do love a good daring do book."

Twilight then said "I didn't know you were a fan of Daring do Flash."

Then Flash said "Well back when I was a colt living on the streets. I always to used to pretend I was on adventures with Daring do and her companions." Then he rubbed his head "And some times I even dream that I was on her adventures."

"Aw that's so sweet." Said Twilight. "You never told me much of your foul hood before."

"Well." Said Flash "There's not much to talk about. I grew up on the streets along side Cheese and Soarin we usual just sleep of roof tops, stealing food to survive."

"What about your parents?" Twilight asked.

"Well honesty" said Flash sheepishly rubbing his head "I don't remember them, I know I must have had parents once. I just can't seem to remember them."

"That's wired." Said Twilight "Nothing at all?"

"Nothing." Said Flash uncomfortably. "All I just remember was that I was me with Cheese and Soarin and that's it."

"All right everypony." Said a mysterious auctioneer. "It is time to begin our betting for the limited edition of the Daring do items!"

"That's one heck of a Caballeron costume." Said Flash.

That made Twilight giggled. "Yeah but at least his not wearing an Ahuizotl costume."

Meanwhile Quibble Pants lead Rainbow Soarin, Spike Clare Skies, and Wind Sprint. Thought a crowed fan ponies.

"Ha ho ho." Quibble said "Can you believe who many ponies are fans of the Mare Do-Well TV show?" He said to Wind Sprint.

"Hump." She growled and march a head of her step father.

Quibble sigh then Clare skies place a hoof on his shoulder. "Better luck next time sweet heart."

As Clare skies when to join her daughter Rainbow when to Quibble "Okay what's going on?"

"I have to be honest with you guys." Quibble Pants said. "I've been trying to bond with my step daughter for a while now. But she wants nothing to do with me."

Then Soarin said "So why did you bring her here?"

"While I thought introducing her to a big time celebrity would impresses her. But she don't seem to be interested."

"Is she a fan of Daring Do?" Spike asked

"Well no but I know she watch the Mare-Do-Well show. So I figured introducing her to Gallup Gadot would win me major points with her."

"Defiantly would win points for us." Said Rainbow.

"Welcome!" An announcer shouted "To the Q and A staring Gallup Gadot!"

"Wow!" Then ponies cheered as the see the actress enter the stag.

"I'm the terror that gallops in the night I'm the shining light to fans every where I am Gallup Gadot!"

"So when do we get to meet her?" Said Rainbow Dash elbowing Quibble Pants.

"Right after then Q and A I got the whole thing set up."

"I don't know about this." Said Cheese Sandwich

"It's simple!" Said Pinkie wearing a pharaoh crown "I'm the Phony Pharaoh and your my arch enemy the Saddle Ranger."

"Yeah I get that," said Cheese, "What I don't get how these costumes are any better than the last one's we had?"

Pinkie Pie smiled, "Because these costumes I got from the Tambelon Natural History Museum!"

"Wait what?" panicked Cheese. "Don't you think the owners will be a little angry with you?"

"Relax," said Pinkie brushing off the subject, "My sister works there. Besides, with these costumes there's no way we can lose."

All of sudden numerous sirens blared. Cheese and Pinkie turned to see DJPon3 blaring at a turntable as numerous bright colored lights and smoke appeared. Out of the fog pranced a six foot animatronic of Ahuizotl. Pinkie Pie's jaw dropped as she watched the Ahuizotl animatronic dance before the cheering crowd of ponies.

Ahuizotl's mouth opened revealing Hip Hop, "Aww yeah baby! Who's bad?"

Ahuizotl's chest opened revealing Rock Roller, "We bad! Woowoowoowoowoo!"

As the two stallions danced in their giant costume, Pinkie Pie's face turned red, "Okay, now it's personal!"

"Sold!" said the figure in the Caballeron costume. A grey googly-eyed pony in a cardboard Caballeron costume walked away with an exact replica of the Sapphire Stone.

"Next on the docket," the Caballeron look alike proclaimed, "This rare signed copy of Daring Do and Titan's Talisman!"

Twilight and Flash watched as the auctioneer lifted a sheet revealing the book they both knew all to well.

"Eeeeeeeeeeee!" Twilight smiled giddily clopping her hooves together.

"Our starting bid," the auctioneer declared, "Is at 200 bits!"

"2000 bits," a voice cried out.

The ponies in the crowd gasped as they turned to see had made the opening bid.

"Is that A.K. Yearling?" Flash proclaimed, pointing at the center of the room.

It was indeed A.K. Yearling wearing her signature glasses and shawl. The auctioneer smiled wickedly at the opening bid.

"2000 bits! 2000 bits from the author of the Daring Do series! Do we have any other takers?" the auctioneer proclaimed.

A fierce look crossed Twilight Sparkle's face, "3000 bits!"

"3000 bits from the Princess of Tambelon!" the auctioneer proclaimed, "Any other takers!"

"5000 bits!" A.K. Yearling proclaimed, suddenly getting angry.

"7000 bits!" proclaimed Twilight.

"Uh-oh.." Flash Sentry mumbled.

Back at the Q and A.

"No I neve did not consoled Apple west for my role in the show." Gallup said "Next question."

"Oh oh oh." spike raises his claw in the air.

"Yes you the little purple thing in the back row." Gallup said.

"Have every actually met Daring Do?" spike asked.

"No I have not." said Gallup looking annoyed "I don't know how many times I have to answer that question."

Then the Announcer "Well that's it for the questions on to the autograph singing!"

Then Quibble Pants smiles down at his daughter and at then others. "Come on guys this pony gonna get you in front of the line." He then led the ponies and Spike around the line of autograph goers just as they were about to reach Gallup and security pony stop them.

"Hold it right there buddy no unauthorized ponies beyond this point."

"You don't under stand." Quibble Pants said nervously "I promise with a personal meet and greet with Gallup Gadot." Then pulled out an all access pass with a convened smile.

"Oh really." Said the guard rather sarcastically "Then why don't you get in line with the other ponies that were promise with a personal meet and greet with Gallup Gadot." He pointed to yet another long line of ponies.

"But you don't under stand I'm a personal friend of hers!"

"Security!" Then two more security ponies came in and pushed the group in the back of the line.

Then when they got there Wind Sprit "Surprise, Surprise."

"I don't under stand!" Quibble Pants panic "She promise I can meet with her today!"

"What ever." Said Wind Sprit as she began to trot away.

Then Clear Skies put her hoof on his shoulder "Better luck next time sweetie." Then she went off to chase after her daughter.

Seeing how Quibble was sad Rainbow "What was that security pony problem!" Shouted. "I say we go back there and demined that he let us in there and meet Gallup Gadot!"

Soarin then said "I got a better idea. Let me show you all something I learn growing up on the streets."

Meanwhile back at costume contest we see the robot Ahuizotl still break dancing.

Cheese Sandwich watches nervously waiting for Pinkie Pie to return. "Where is she?"

"Here I am!" Pinkie Pie returning in yet another costume.

"Wait a minute I thought I was suppose to be saddle rager." Cheese said

"This costume is a 100 better!" Said Pinkie.

"Uh Pinkie I'm starting to worry about you." Said Cheese.

"Don't worry Cheese." She then pulled a string on her costume. "This pony is taking care of everything!"

Her costume began to infelt growing larger and larger until it was about the same size as the Ahuizotl robot.

"It time to win this contest!" She decarded as she leap on top of the Ahuizotl robot and the two began to wrestle with each other. The costume ponies watch began panic and ran away.

"This is going to get worst before it gets better is isn't it?" Said Cheese.

Back at the auctioning hall.

"200,000 bits!" Cried A. .

"500,000 bits!" Said Twilight.

"500,000 bits going one twice." The auctioneer shouted.

"Twilight why is this book so imparted to you?" Flash asked.

"It's..It's just a very good book that all!" Twilight said.

Then Flash said "But it's not worth 500,00 bits!"

"750,000 bit!" Shouted AK Yearling.

"Sold to AK.."

All of the sudden Pinkie Pie and the Ahuizotl robot crash into the room. Then auctioneer leap for the stage as the two giant crashed into it and then rare snig Twilight Sparkle leap in to the air as the book fly in to it. Unfortunately AK Yearling also leap for the book to two mares began to fight over it over the crowed of panicked ponies.

"Are you Sure this is a good idea?" Said Spike

He Quibble, and Rainbow were crawling in a air vent with Soarin leading them.

"Trust me." Soarin said "Back on the streets me Flash, and Cheese used to do this all the time."

Rainbow chimed in "Quibble Pants you can't possible think that this is a good idea?"

Then Quibble Pants "I'll do anything to impress Wind Spirt Anything!"

Then all of the sudden the air vent began to shake violently Spike Quibble, Soarin and Rainbow began to fall to the floor below. Where the autograph session was put in a grinding hold by two fighting monsters.

"What the heck is going on!?" Rainbow Dash shouted looking at the scene before her.

Then Cheese Sandwich appeared behind them. "Pinkie Pie is rampage!"

"Not again!" Said Spike.

"Out of the way!" A voice shouted Gallup Gadot crash right in to Quibble Pants. "Then she said "Quibble Pants I was wonder when you showed up. I've been waiting for you."

"It's a long story." Said Quibble Pants "But right now i need you to meet some pony."

"It's me!" Said Spike hugging tightly to Gallup.

"No not you." Said Soarin

Pinkie Pie contused to wrestle with the Ahuizotl costume.

"Oh you want to play rough do ya?" Said Hip Hop appearing from out of the mouth.

Then they both heard a loud whistle got there attention.

"Fowl!" Cheese shouted while wearing a referee costume. "Fowl on you! Fowl on you! Fowl on both of you!"

Then Pinkie's costume began to deflated "Cheese why re you stopping me!"

Then Cheese said "I had to stop the madness! I mean look around you!" Pinkie looked as the crash displeases and panicked ponies.

And the pink ponies blushed "Did I do that?"

Cheese then shooed his head "Pinkie why was this contest son imparted to you?"

"I was just trying to beat those meanies for being so rude to us." Pinkie pointed at Hop Hop and Rock Roller who was crawling out from the Ahuizotl robot.

"Pinkie." Cheese said "Those two aren't worth it."

"Oh oh oh!" Said Hip hop "WE my boy are totally worth it hit it DJ!"

DJ pon-3 began to play as Hip hop and rock Roller here brake dancing to the beat.

Pinkie took on look at them. "Your right there not worth."

Then the two of them walked away.

Back in the auction room Twilight and AK Yearling were still fighting over the book.

"You don't know what your getting into!" Said AK Yearling.

"Oh yes I do!" Twilight said.

"Twilight!" Flash said "Why do you want this book so much?'

"I'm trying to get it for you!" Twilight shouted.

AK Yearling and Flash came to a hold.

"What?" Said Flash

"Soarin told me." She said "That you were a big fan of Daring. but you couldn't afford it because you were leaving on the streets so I wanted to get you this."

Then a sad look came cross AK Yearing's face as he saw the two of them. "Here keep it." She said "I don't need it that bad."

Then Twilight said "Thank you and sorry about the fight."

Then the book Arthur said "Yeah me too."

Then watch as AK Yearling was walking off in the distance then the two ponies smile at each other.

"Hum!" Said the auctioneer in the Caballeron costume. "That will be 750,000 bits."

Then Twilight said "I only bit 50!"

At the other end of the conversion we see Clare Skies and Wind Sprit who setting down at the food court.

Wind Sprit sipped on a soda while her mother try to cheer her up.

"You know." Clare said "I hear spitfire my be here in this convention."

"Wind Sprit!" They heard a voice and turn to see Quibble Pants racing with Rainbow Soarin, Spike, and Galloping Galot to them. "Look who I have interduce to you!"

"Hello." Said Galloping Galot as she said. "Hello I'm Galloping Galot."

The filly looks waded eyed at the celebrate staying before her and said "Oh my gosh! Your Galloping Galot! you played Mare do-Well!"

"Told you I knew her." said Quibble Pants.

Then Wind Sprit said "Yeah yeah, what ever." She then turn to the actress and said "I'm your biggest fan!"

Clare skies said "Wind would you're like to thank your father?'

She then turn to Quibble and said "Yeah thanks."

Then Rainbow Dash said "Are you kidding me?" She then came up to Wind decarded "After everything we been though to interduce you to this pony your still not impress!"

Then "Impress with what?"

Rainbow Dash "With your dad we when thought all trouble to get you to meet your hero!"

Then after hearing "I'm sorry I just...miss my old dad too much." she then starts to tear up.

But then Galloping said "It's find to miss a parent that you love and lost. But this find young citizen try his very best to make you happy and isn't that what makes a true hero or better yet a parent?"

Then wind sprit thought about this for a moment and then she finally gave in and gave Quibble Pants a big hug. "I still think your kid of a nerd." She said with a smile.

Everypony lough at this.

Back a the entrance to the convection center Flash and Twilight chatted with each other about what happened today.

"Thanks again for the book Twi." Flash said "But you didn't have to go over board."

Then Twilight said "That's okay this is what you do for friends when you have them."

Then Flash said "I'm just glade that whole thing is over." Flash then looked down and a thought acceded to him on the cover of the book were two new characters along side Daring Do. It was a handsome earth pony stallion and a daring pegasus mare. "Mom Dad?" Flash said in his mind.

Oh BBBFF where are thou?

Oh BBBFF where are thou?

It bright sunny day in Tambelon and in the throne room we see the king and queen talking to shining Armor.

"As you know my son." Said the king Nightlight "The allice between the Equestria and Yakyakistan is very imported. Shining rolled his eyes as his father continued the conversion. "There for it very imported we renew our treaty with them primary sech Yakyaskistan lays dearly with the between the storm Kingdome and Equestria. There for it is essentials with a small party of our most loyal of ponies."

"Yes father." Said Shining "And I know exactly the loyal brave and true pony I'm going to take with me."

"Achoo!" Shouted Thunderlane in a large hanker chuff "Sorry sir but I don't think I'm up for it."

"I don't believe this how did you get your feather flue?" Said Shining Armor.

Fluttershy then said while putting an ice bag on Thunderlane's head. "It was that mission to Cloudsdale. He had to fly thought a entire snow storm to get there."

"Who am I going to take with me on this mission now?" Said Shining.

"Well." Said Twilight Sparkle as she entered the room. "I know some pony who is more then willing to volunteer."

"Ready when you are captain!" Said Flash Sentry as he entered the bed room.

"You've got to be kidding me." Shining Armor said rolling his eyes.

"Look BBBFF." Said Twilight "I know you and Flash have a history but He was the only one who willing to volunteer for this mission."

"Find." Said Shining. "But I don't have to like."

Thunderlane whispers to Flash when shining exits the room. "I was surprise you were willing to voltmeter for this. Constering that the captain basally hates your guts."

"That the point." Said Flash. "This could be a way for me to finally get good with him. I mean we are on the same side am I right?"

"Technically yes." Said Thunderlane nervously but considering your history."

"Relax." Flash said "I got whole thing covered."

Then Thunderlane with a sly smile and said "And this has nothing to do wit impressing the princess?"

"NO." Said Flash Sentry blushing. "It's just wanna prove myself to the castle guard and what not."

Then Shining shouted "Let's get going rookie we got a long journey ahead of us!"

The two ponies exit Tambelon.

"Alright let's get going!" Said flash flying up in the air.

"Ahem." Said Shining Armor coughing to the young stallion. "What do you think your doing?"

"Flying to Yakyaskistan." Flash said.

Shining armor frowned "Do you see any wings on this pony?"

"Well no." Stuttered Flash. "But how are we supposed to get there if we can't fly?"

Then a train whistle sounded "All adored!" Shouted a connecter pony. "Next stop Yakyaskistan!" The two stallion road on the train side by side the slice in the air was so thick you cant cut it with a knife.

Finally Flash decided to break the ice. "So is this your first time going to Yakyaskistan?"

"No." Muttered Shining Armor.

"Well it's is mine I don't really get out of Tambelon mush." Said Flash.

"I'm well aware." Growled Shining.

"Yeah never really got out of the city since I meet Twilight!" Flash said "Remember how I helped her save all of Equestria?"

"Hump." Shining Armor said.

All of the sudden Flash sees some one familiar passing him by. "Wait a minute was that?...Get down!" Flash shouted pulling Shining Armor down with him.

Shining Armor growled at him "What do you think your doing?"

"Look over there." Flash pointed where the pony that pass them sat down.

Then Shining said "Who is that?"

"That's Starlight Glimmer she works for Sombra I remember seeing her and it looks like she got a new mane style." Said Flash.

"And how is this imperative to are mission?" Shining asked.

"Maybe you didn't hear me?" Flash said "She works for Sombra!"

Shining Armor shook his head "This mission has absolutely nothing to do with King Sombra."

"Oh yeah." Said Flash "Then why is she here?"

Shining then pulled out a pace of paper. "Our only coinsure is taking this treaty to prince Rutherford. So we can protect our boarders from the Storm King's army so can you please stay focus."

Flash knew that he was right but just in cased he would be keeping an eye on her.

Hours have passed and then the conducer pony shouted "Last stop to Yakyaskistan!"

"Wake up Sentry!" Shining said to a sleeping Flash.

"What?" Flash said

"This is our stop." Said Shining

A drossy Flash fallowed Shining Armor off the train and into the station and when he open his eyes he found that they were in a snowy nowhere.

"Um.. Where are all the yaks?" Flash ask.

"You didn't expected the train to take us directly to Yakyaskistan?" Shining said while rolling his eyes.

So two ponies began to trot thought the frozen north to Yakyaskistan. As they continued they began to pass through a large pass of moutains.

"We must be getting close." Said Shining.

"I hope so 'I'm freezing to death here!" Flash said

Shining then rolled his eyes and said "Well you shouldn't volunteer to come."

Then Flash was quickly getting annoyed and said "Look I'm getting tired of you putting me down. Treating me like I was before."

"If I was treating you like before you would be in prison." Shining replied.

"Then why are you acting like this to me?" Flash asked.

Just as Shining was about to respond he notices something.

"Get down!" Him tackling Flash throwing him behind a boulder.

"What the heck are you doing?" Flash said.

"Huss look." Shining said while pointing over the boulder.

Flash took a peek over it and to his amazement he saw.

Numerous yatis dress in storm king armor talking to a pony. But not just any pony it was...

"Sunset Shimmer!" Flash problemed out loud.

"Hush!" Shining Armor said pushing Flash back behind the boulder. "Those are storm king solders."

Then Flash "Well that's Sunset Shimmer she also works for Sombra. Still think that shadowy king not involved?"

"That's impossible." Shining Armor proclaimed matter of factly. "King Sombra and The Storm King hate each other no way they forces would work together."

Flash then asked "Then what is she doing here?"

Shining Armor then said abruptly "Our concerned is to get pass those yatis with this treaty in tack."

"Find." Flash said in angry voice. "What's your plan captain."

Shining Armor thought for a minute. "Here you take this."

He gave Flash the satchel that has the treaty in it.

Flash said "Umm way are you giving me this?"

"Because you have wings." Said Shining Armor

Flash then said "What?"

All of a sudden Shining Armor leap out from the rock and then shouted "Het frosty over here!"

The Yetis then turn to see Shining and then charged at him. Then snow beast then chases Shining Armor while Flash made a speedy get away by flying over the mountains.

"I really hope the captain knows what is he doing." Flash said.

Flash continued forward flying thought the snow eventually he saw a small village with great wooden walls down below.

Then Flash said "I think that's Yakyaskistan."

Then pegasus quickly soared down worded landing at the center of the village.

"Gentle... Yaks I have a treaty to deliver!" Flash said.

Suddenly an army of angry yaks surrounded him bearing their horns at him.

"Who are you pony?" Then largest of them said

"Umm I'm from Tambelon the Kingdome of Equestria and I'm here to give you guys this." He then pulled out the treaty and then the yak eyed him suspiciously are at least that's what Flash thought his eyes were covered in fur.

Then the yak. "Who we know you not work for Storm King?"

Then Flash said "Well if I was why would I come to you guy alone?"

Then the yak said "Ummm good point you enter hut with other treaty."

"Other treaty?" Flash asked credulity.

Flash entered the hut and much to his surprise two large yati guarded a much smaller yati. This yati was much scrawnier then the other two with curl toothy grin.

"Well, well, well!" Said the yeti with a voice like hooves on a chalkboard. "Lookie here! Looks like Equestria is trying to renew their treaty! Too bad the yaks alrighty agreed to our treaty!"

"What!?" Said Flash doumbfounded.

Then the Yak said "Hold on we no agree to treaty yet!"

"Right, right." Said the yeti. "I'm getting a head of my self. The point is we the storm Kingdome are clearly superior chose to have a treaty with we are big we are strong, and more impartially we know how to show up on a meeting on time!"

Then Flash just at the guy and said "Now wait a minute the only reason I was late is because me and the captain were almost attacked by some of your guards!"

"Oh really!" Said the yeit with a mischievous smile. "And where is your captain bray tell?"

Then Flash looked down in worried and then said "We was distracting the storm king's guards so I can get here with the treaty."

Then yeit said "Ha likely story how do we even know that this pony is from Equestria!? Why he could be a spy for Sombra wanting to take over your kingdome with his evil magic."

Then they heard a voice out side of the hut that said "We can vouge for him!"

They turn to see and much to Flash's surprise Sunset shimmer Starlight Glimmer, and Trixie Lulamoon entering the room.

"Prince Rutherford." Sunset proclaimed "We got something to show you."

They then used their magic to show that Shining being held captive by a group of Yetis.

The largest Yak looked and said "That Shining Armor He good friend to Yaks!" He then turn to the yetis and shouted. "You Yetis lied to yakes."

The smallest of the yetis then back away in fear and said "Yeah now let's not turn this into a federal case. I'm just hoping we can settle this civilly." As the Yeti came close to the entrances to the hut he turn to his comrades and shouted "Run!" The yeits quickly ran out of the hut to the edge of the village.

"Yaks!" Shouted the yak prince. "Charge!" A army of yaks chance after the yati out of the wall and into the mountains.

Flash then turn to the three unicorns and said with a suspicious look. "Why did you help was it because Soma hates the Strom King?"

Then Sunset said "We don't don't work for the Storm King anymore we have our own reasons for helping you."

Then Flash said "Really what are they?"

"That my dear colt!" Trixie said with a mischievous smile. "Is classified information."

With a flash of her horn all three unicorns disappeared.

Then Flash said "Well that was something." Then something dawn abound him. "Shining Armor!" He quickly ran out of the hut to join the yaks.

Back at the Storm King's camp Shining Armor was in a magic proof cage and the yatis were playing cards as they watch and looked over to Shining Armor.

"Got any threes?" One of the yetis asked him.

Then the white unicorn rolled his eyes and said "Gold fish."

Then the smaller yeti leader ran into the camp. "Run for your life's head for the hills! Which why to grand mas house!?"

Then the yetis saw that an army of yaks was stampeding towards them.

"Game over! You win!" Proclaimed tossing his cards in the air. He ran away to join his comrades.

Shining Armor then smirked as he watch the yetis run. "I more ways then one."

"Shining Armor You friend of Yaks we set you free!" Prince Rutherford said as he and his yaks back away from the cage.

"Wait!" Shining Armor said knowing what they are about to do. "Guys lets talk about this!"

"Charge!" Prince Rutherford shouted.

But before they got to the cage Flash stop in their tracks by shouting "Stop!"

The yaks came to a screening hold as Flash leap down in front.

"Why don't we try this instead." Flash said while holding the key to the cage.

Shining Armor was whited eyed and said "Where did you get that?!"

"Oh I swiped it from old fur ball there when he wasn't looking." Flash said while unlocking cage.

"Of course you did." Said shining Armor while rolling his eyes yet again.

A look of fury suddenly crosses Flash face. "That's it! I have done everything you asked this entered trip! dealt with all complains and comments." He then ponited to the Yaks. "I even delivered the treaty to the yaks. Why won't you trust me!?"

Shining gave Flash a skeptical look. "What are you taking about of course I trust you."

Flash jaw dropped "What?"

"Flash Sentry you help my sister and her friends to save all of Equestria. If I didn't trust you I would have never given you that treaty in the first place." Shining Armor said.

Flash Sentry smiled after hearing that felling proud of himself.

"I just don't like you." Said shining Armor matter of factify.

Than Flash shouted "What? But wait if you don't like me then why don't you trust me!? That's doesn't make any sense!"

Shining Armor then said "Flash let's be honest do even like me?"

Flash frown "Not really."

Shining Armor then said "But you do trust me don't you?"

Flash then said "Yes. What are you trying to get at?"

Then Shining said "You're not gonna like every pony you meet Flash Sentry but what's imported that you trust them to do the right thing."

Flash then thought back when Sunset Starlight, and Trixie came in to save him. "You know what your right bro."

Shining Armor frowned at that "Don't call me bro."

"Enough talk!" Cried Prince Rutherford as he gripped both stallion in his massive hoof. "We dance ponies!" The yaks all began dance wildly shaking the entire mountain side.

"Couldn't we sight the treaty first?" said Shining Armor whining.

Atop of the mountain side Sunset Starlight, and Trixie watch the sense below.

All of a sudden Starlight's horn began to glow. "The mission was a success." Starlight speaking in to her horn.

"Excellent." The voice of Tempest shadow said. "Return to base. We have another mission for you."

Meanwhile at the Storm King's places.

Then smallest yeti cowered before the Storm King massive throne.

"So let me get this straight you failed to get me my treaty to Yakyaskistan there by not getting me a decked root to Equestria!?"

"Oh please!" Then smallest Yeti whimpered. "I sware it will never happened again!"

Then the Storm King Said "Your right it won't."

Then The smaller yeti said "Wait ya promise mom you wouldn't!"

The Strom King grown and said "Find. But next time you won't be so lucky."

Bad dogs bad dogs, what's ya gonna do?

Bad Dogs bad Dogs what's ya gonna do?

We enter midnight castle as King Sombra braces about talking with Catrena.

"I don't like it." Said the evil king "I don't like it one bit."

What choice do we have." Said Catrina. "Your loyalist followers had betrayed you."

"They'll come back." Said Sombra "They always come back."

"They're not coming back." said the cat witch. "Look the point is we now need some one to go and get it and they're the only ones available."

Then Sombra growled and then shouted "Cujo get in here!"

The quavering diamond dog entered the throne room and said "Yes your mercilessness."

Then Sombra face hoof himself and said "Quit your sniffling I have a mission for you and only you and your dogs can do it!"

"You really mean it boss!?" Said Cujo with a smile.

"Of course I mean!" Said Sombra "It with my other minions occupied and Starlight and Sunset gone who else am I suppose to turn to?"

"Don't forget Trixie." Cujo stated.

"Right her too." Said Sombra rolling his eyes. "Anyway I need you and your thugs to retrieve a rare and valuable artifact. Catrina if you would?"

Then the magical cat rise her staff and a map of Equestria appeared in the throne room.

"The item in question is located at the snowy mountains near the base of the the Stom Kings place." said the cat witch.

A sudden look of fear came across Cujo's face and said "Uh...Boss don't the Storm King hates you and the guys working for you?"

Then the shadow king said "Your point being?"

"Well..."Said Cujo "Isn't it dangerous for me and my boys to go to his Kingdome unannounced?"

Then King Sombra gave him an evil glare. "The real question is what will happen to you if you don't go there!"

"But...I thought you said you needed me." Said Cujo.

"No necessarily in one piece." Growled Sombra.

"You make a compelling argument." Said Cujo he then turn to doors of the thorn room "If you need me I'll be at the storm kingdome getting that thing!"

He then called out for his minions "Rover Fido, Spot!" He search the castle and eventually he found them playing poker a game they had no idea playing.

"What on earth are you idiots doing!?" Cujo shouted

"Huu..." Fido spotted. "Gold fish..."

Cujo then face pawed himself and said "how are we the same species? Look you morons games Sombra got a job for us!"

"He does?" Spot stated "That unusual."

"Yes well." Cujo stated. "Scenes his "daughters" are no longer available it's up to us to the heavy lifting around here. A chance to prove ourselves."

Then Rover said "Can we do it after our games?"

Then in a act of fury Cujo smashed the table in two.

Deep beneath the mountains of Equestria four diamond dogs dogged their way to the storm king's castle.

"Cujo!" Rover spotted "Why couldn't we just fly to the storm kingdom?"

Then Cujo smacked him over the head. "You moron! Do you want everyone in the storm Kingdome to find us!?"

Then Rover said "Can we at least get a nap break?"

Then Cujo said "Are you joking me? The storm Kingdome is massive twice the size of Equestria and the storm castle is right in the smack of it! So we are digging until we get there. So dig!"

Many, many hours have pass finally the diamond dogs reach the surface.

"At last!" Cujo sprigged from the ground over joyed. "We made it to the storm Kingdome!"

"The Storm Kingdome!?" A voice cried out curiously. They looked up to see that they are surrounded by griffin.

"This is griffinstone you nitwits!" A cracky old griffin with a fizz shouted. "The storm Kingdome is thousands of miles that a way!"

Cujo smacked himself in the face again then he turn to the others. "Which one of you were in charge of directions!?"

Then Rover said "Humm I think I was you sir."

Cujo looked furious at himself and then clampy breath.

"That's it we are taking a blimp!"

The Dimond dogs are now riding a charter blimp with a number of ponies.

"That you for flying air Equestria." A stewardess pony came up to the diamond dogs. "We will have you in Yakyakistan in a few hours."

"Yakyakistan!" Cujo shouted "I thought this flight was going to the storm Kingdome!"

Then the stewardess smiled and said "Oh sorry sir. The storm Kingdome is out of our jurisdiction the closest we can get you is Yakyakistan."

"Grrrrrr." Growled Cujo sinking back into his set.

"Relax boss." Stated Rover putting him arm around Cujo's shoulder. "Just set back have some peanuts and enjoy the in flight movie."

"Now presenting." An announcer said "The happy singing flower pals!"

"WE are shush lovely flower! We will now sing for hours."

Cujo then shouted "Noooo!"

Hours later Cujo was still listening to the singing flower. When Spot notices something out the window.

"Huh boss there a gremlin outside of the blimp."

"Don't be ridiculous!" Growled Cujo "What would a gremlin be doing outside of a blimp?"

"Yo-Ho-Yo! Yo-Ho-Yo! Yo-Ho-Yo!"

"Oh no," whimpered Cujo recognizing the all to familiar tune.

"Ah ha!" Cried Don Grif'aun burst on to the blimp fallowed by his pirates. "Attentions passengers! We have come to take over this blimp!"

Then Cujo smacked himself on the face again. "Why didn't we think of that?"

Then The pirate Griffin spots Cujo and said "Dog what are you doing here are you on a mission for king Sombra?"

Then Cujo dratted his eyes back and forth across the blimp. "No, no we are not!"

"Yes we are don't you remember Sombra..." Fido stated while Cujo turn making silencing motion across his neck.

"Oh I love charades. Humm head...off with your head...Oh I got if we don't get that artifact from the storm Kingdome Sombra will cut off our heads!" Spot said

Cujo slaps himself in the face.

"Wait." Don Grif'aun stated "There's legendary artifact in the storm Kingdome and Sombra wants it?"

"Uhhhh...No." Said Spot sheepishly.

Later the diamond dogs are now riding an air life boat while Don Grif'aun and hos crew cheered aboard the shanghaied ship.

Then Cujo turn to Spot and said sarcastically. "Spot why did you tell the griffin about the thing we were looking for?"

Then Spot said nervously. "Ummm Maybe he didn't notices."

Then Cujo who was still being sarcastic. "Oh that's right he wouldn't notices that's smart thinking there spot."

The diamond dog leader then clunk him on the head and shouted "You blithering idiot!"

Then Fido said "Well at least thing can't get any worst right?"

All of a sudden it began to rain.

Then Cujo turn to the dig dog and said "You had to say it didn't you?"

Eventually the small blimp flouted down to a small cutch town in the middle of the desert.

Then Cujo said "Well this is just great were still miles away from the storm Kingdome and now we're stuck in the middle of nowhere!"

Then Rover said "Well maybe we still could get another ship to the storm Kingdome."

Then Cujo shouted "What do you think there's a giant blimp in the middle of town straight to the storm king's castle!?"

"Tickets!" A giant naked mole rat cried out. "Tickets to the storm king's castle for a missive blimp at then center of town get them while their hot!"

Cujo then glared at his minions behind him. "Not a world."

Then Cujo approach the mole rat with a suit and tie. "Excuse me my find sir we would very much like to purchase those ticket to the storm king's castle."

"Excellent!" Vergo stated "That will be 200 bits."

"What!?" Cujo shouted "I'll pay 50 bits for these tickets and nothing more!"

"300 bits!" Replied Vergo.

Then Cujo picked him up by his suit and said "How about this give me those tickets and I won't rip out you're eyes!"

"I have no eyes." Said Vergo rising his glasses. "500 bits!"

"Look buddy I work for King Sombra so you better hand over those ticket!"

"Well I work for the storm king. 1000 bits!"

"GRRrrr!" Cujo snarled his face truing red with anger.

"Umm...Boss." Rover chimed in. "Maybe we should find anther way to the storm Kingdome."

Rover Fido and spot dragged their leader away from the mole rat.

"Are you three nuts!? We need to get storm Kingdome before those pirates do!"

"It's a good thing that old rat was blind." Said Spot holding out the tickets.

Then Cujo dumbfounded. "You soled the tickets."

"We're bad guys." Fido said "It's what we do."

Then Cujo took the tickets and said "I'm actually impressed. Okay boys this time we're taking over that ship!"

Cujo and his goons found themselves in the brig. Rover Fido and Spot glared at their leader.

"Well how was a suppose to know that the ship was full of storm king soldiers!" Cujo clamed.

They then heard a loud bang from out side the blimp. Through the window the dogs see the sky pirates were attaking the storm king's castle.

"Those idiot pirates!" Cujo stated "Do they actually think that they could take on the storm king's army!?"

But then a light build appeared above Cujo's head "That's it those pirate will be our distraction while we got and get that artifact."

"Um boss." Said Rover. "We still need to get out of this cell."

All of a sudden a large cannon ball blast from there cell.

"While that was convenient." Said Cujo and then the dogs climb out and get to the life boats and sailed down to the castle.

The four diamond dogs craped with in the chambers of the castle while expositions were sounded out side.

"It's got to be around here some where."

"Um boss." Spot said while pointing into a large chamber.

At then center of the chamber stood a large statue of a gargoyle with a lions mane. He held on tightly to a massive key with the letters W and R on it.

"I think that's it." Said Spot.

"Excellent!" said Cujo approaching the statue. "Nothing can go wrong now!"

"Well, Well, Well!" A screeching voice shouted.

They turn to a tiny yeti with two massive yeti's behind him. "If it isn't some of Sombra's goons stealing our treasure!"

"Ummm..."Cujo stuttered. "you're mistaken we are not thieves we're..."

"Interior decorators!" Fido said

"Yes!" Smiled Cujo nervously "Interior decorator! We were just taking a look of this statue here! Tell me would it look better outside of the castle?"

Then frosted bitten yeti eyed them suspiciously. "Do you think I was born yeastier day!? That's the sacred statue of king Scorpan sultan of storm!"

"Try saying that five times fast." Said Cujo.

But then frost bit threw a spear at Cujo's rear.

That's when the diamond dog snapped his eyes turn bright red and he jumped off the statue "Grrrrrrrr RAAAAAA! That's is I've when way to city of bird cats, Force to suffer thought an in flight movie, had to get off the blimp annoying griffin pirate, bickered with old blind rat, locked in a cell and now you japed me in my rump! Now I'm mad!"

He then tackled frost bit phoning at the mouth.

"Oh ho." Said Rover "Here we go again."

Cujo then proceeded to attack the other two yetis ripping them to shreds.

"Hmm boss." Fido said while grapping the key from the statue. "We got the key you can stop now."

"Grrrrrr" Cujo growled variously at his minions.

"Or!" Rover stated covering Fido's mouth "You can continued."

Cujo proceed to attack the yetis while Rover Fido and spot watch in horror.

"That why he's our leader." Said Rover.

Later at midnight castle Sombra was enjoying a luxury meal.

"I may be banished here but I've made the most of it."

All of a sudden Catrina entered the room. "Umm King Sombra the diamond dogs had return from their mission."

"Return from their mission!" Said Sombra "That's unusual. Send them in."

Cujo with confident smile then entered the dining room his minions close behind them.

"Well boss we did it!" Cujo said

"Did what?" Sombra asked

"We got the artifact!" Rover started.

Sombra eyed them curiously "You actually mange to get the artifact?"

"Right here!" Said Fido pulling out the key.

Sombra's eyes open wide and then he levitate the key to him and said "You actually got the key!?"

Then Cujo said "Yes we did!"

Sombra stared at the diamond dogs and then finally stated. "Cujo you have done a good job."

"I couldn't have done it with out these guys." Cujo stated while pulling his minions close to him.

"Yes yes, now leave me." Sombra said shooing the diamond dogs away.

As the dogs left the room laughing Catrina approach the evil king from behind.

"One down." Sombra said smiling sinisterly. "Six to go."

Ponyville school play

Ponyville school play

We open at the Ponyville elementary school in side the Kingdome of Templon. We see the school teacher miss Cheerilee addressing her class "Settle down every pony I got an very important announcement to make! Now it's time for our annual school play this year we'll be performing the pony of OZ!"

The students cheered.

"As you know." Said Cheerile "This play will be taking a lot of work. We going set designers, costumes and of course a Steller star cast to play the roles! Oh and you'll be trilled to know that the royal family will be attending!"

Then kids cheered even louder.

"Big deal." Scootaloo whispers to Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle. "We see the royal family almost every day."

Then Sweetie said "Hey but not our class mates."

Later during recuse Scootaloo Apple Bloom, and Sweetie Belle discuss plans to audition for the play.

"So it's agreed!" Said Apple bloom. "I'll play the scarecrow pony, Scootaloo plays lion and Sweetie Belle will play the tin pony!"

"Yes!" Said Scootaloo. "We'll totally get our cutie marks in acting once we star in this play!"

"Cutie mark crusaders super stars!" All three shouted at the same time.

"Ha ha ha ha!" They hear an annoying lough that they are all to familiar with.

"Do you hear that Silver Spoon the blank flanks think they can bet us for the main roles." Said Diamond Tiara.

"Oooh it's hilarious." Said silver spoon

"Hey!" Said Apple bloom "We got as much chance as you do!"

"Ha!" Said DT "Don't make me lough even louder. There's no way miss Cheerile would make a bunch of blank flank babies like you in the led role. That's why the three of us will be aiming for the led roles."

"Humm..There are only two of you." Said Sweetie Belle.

DT then pointed at a far location to a small pink pegasus filly with blue curly mane reading a book.

"That's Cozy glow!" Said Diamond Tiara. "My mother introduce me to her yester day she come from one of the riches families in all of Equestria."

"Of course." Said Silver spoon "She'll be joining us in the led roles in the school play!"

The two fillies lough hysterically but it was short lived when two water balloons dropped on them.

"Ahhh!" DT screamed. "My mane!"

"Ah nice one!" Shouted a voice.

Then fillies turn to see three young colts Rumbles Button Mash, and Tender Tapes.

"Nice one!" Said a unicorn in a repeller hat.

"No pro." Said the grey pegasus as he floated back to the ground.

"Aw did Dimond trewp and silver spittoon got all wet?" Said an orange earth pony.

"Grrrrr!" Growled DT "You three are unbelievable! I'm telling miss Cheerile!"

Then the two rotten fillies ran off screaming.

Then the CMC turn to the three colts.

AB then said "Nice one there Rumble."

Then Rumble said "Aw it was nothing, it's the least i can do for my favorite fans."

"We're not your fans!" Shouted Scootaloo abruptly.

"I didn't mean me." Rumble said "I mean fans of my big brother Thunderlane."

"I told you a million times already we are fans of Rainbow Dash!" Shouted Scootaloo.

Then Sweetie "Since when are we fans of Rainbow Dash?"

"Since always!" Scootaloo stated

"Thunderlane is way better then Rainbow Dash!" Rumble problemed.

"Nuh-uh! Rainbow Dash rules Thunderlane Drools!" Scootaloo replied.

"Nuh-uh!" Said Rumble "Thunderlane is the best!"

"No it's Rainbow Dash!"

"Thunderlane!"

Rainbow Dash!"

The Applebloom said "There at it again."

"How many times has it been now?" Proclaimed Button mash.

"136." Said Tender Tapes.

Then Sweetie Belle broke up the fight "Okay that's enough. Anyway Rumble thanks for saving us again."

"No problem." Said Rumble "What's the worst that could happened."

"Yeah." Said Button "What are they going to do make us work on that stupid play?"

"Boys." Said Cheerile lecturing the three colts. "As punishment for throwing water balloons you three are going to help work on the school play as stage hoof."

"Nice one." Said Rumble elbowing Button.

"That's not far." Said Tender. "Those Dimond Tiara and silver Spoon were the ones who stared it!"

"That may be true." Said Miss Cheerile stated "But that doesn't excuse your actions."

Then three colts rolled their eyes and then Rumble said "Find what do we got to do?"

"You three are going to help construct the set for the up coming play." Said the school teacher "I'll be sure to tell your parents that you'll be helping the play."

Then Button Mash turn to his friends and said "Well it can't that hard all we got to do is set up the stuff for the play."

Back on the playground Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon approach their new "Friend" Cozy Glow who was still reading her book.

"So." Said DT placing her arm around Cozy. "How's are newest member of our group doing today?"

"Oh I'm sorry." Said Cozy "Do I know you two?"

"It's Dimond tiara!" Said the pink earth pony dumbfounded. "We just met yesterday!"

"Oh right umm." Said Cozy glow nervously. "What did you talking about?"

"Well ..." Said DT "Since we are the most popular fillies at this school. We thought we give you the grand honor of joining us at the led roles of the school play."

"But I don't want to be..." DT interrupted her.

"No need to thank us." Said DT "Considerate a favor from your new BFF!"

"But..."Cozy tried to speak.

"Bum Bum sauger lump rum!" Diamond Tiara and Silver spoon cried forcing Cozy into their dance.

From across the playground Cutie mark crusaders watch the scene.

"Great!" Said Scootaloo "Now theirs three of them."

Then Sweetie Belle said "What are we going to do now?"

"What are we going do?" Said Apple Bloom. "We gonna try out and be the stars of that play!"

"But what about those three." Asked Sweetie.

"What about them?" Said Scootaloo "They can't tell us what we can or can't do! what we need is some professional help and I know just where to get it from!"

Later in princess Twilight's tower

"Sorry guys I don't know much about being in plays." Said Rainbow Dash.

"What!?" Said Scootaloo "But your Rainbow Dash you the best at everything!"

"Really?" Twilight said as she rolled her eyes. "Has she even read the pony of Oz books? Cuz I have all 206 volumes."

"Um Twilight." Applejack sated "The play is base of the movie which is a heck of a lot different from the book."

"OOOhhh!" Said Rarity. "I love the pony of Oz play! When I was your age I got the best role in the entire cast! Costume designer!"

"Ummm... Sis that's not really a role." Said Sweetie Belle.

"But of course it is Sweetie Belle." said Rarity. "You think customs assemble themselves?"

"Look ya'll." Said Apple Bloom "We need help performing in the play. Do any of ya'll know anything about acting?"

"Mmmm..." Said Pinkie "Fluttershy might."

"Eeeppp!" Said the yellow pegasi hiding behind Twilight's bed.

"Wait Fluttershy?" said Sweetie belle. "Your kidding right?"

"Oh no joke at all my dear." Said Rarity "Fluttershy has always been the best actor out of all of us."

"I'll say!" Said Applejack "Remember the hearth waring Eve pageant back when we were youngins?"

"But I thought we were never going to speak of that again!" said Fluttershy

"Fluttershy!" Said Applebloom leaping on the bed. "You got to help us addition for the pony school play!"

"Come on Fluttershy." Said Twilight "It'll be fun I'll help them with their lines, Rarity can make costumes."

"And I'll be the queen of Saddle Arabia!" Said Pinkie Pie

"Beg your pardon Pinkie Pie?" Said Applejack. "What does that have to do with the pony school play?"

"I don't know." Pinkie Pie said.

"But...But...but." Fluttershy said.

"Please..." Said the CMC wide eyes and adorable.

Fluttershy signed "All right."

Back at school

Rumble Button Mash, and Tender Tapes were being to construct the set.

"Excellent work boys." Said Cheerilee looking in on them "I'll just leave you to it."

"Well this stinks." Rumble said trying to paint the scenery.

"I'll say." Said Tender Tapes "I was hoping to addition for the play."

Button then turn to the two of them and said "Come on guys it's not that bad." He levitated a set up word. "Just think how grateful every pony will be when this set is finish."

"Especially Sweetie Belle." Rumble said.

"Hey!" Said Button "What do you mean by that?"

"Oh come one." Said Tender Tapes "We all know you have a crush on her."

"What no we are just friends!" Said Button Mash blushing. "Besides what about Rumble and Scootaloo?"

"Please." Said rumble "I can't stand that fillies. Well not as bad Dimond Tiara but still."

Little do they know the pony in question a long with Silver Spoon and Cozy Glow were hiding in the sets below.

"Umm what are we doing here exactly?" Cozy asked

"Getting back at those colt." seared Diamond Tiara. "If they think they could get away with stoking me they got another thing coming."

Then Cozy asked "But aren't they already pushed for that?"

"Not quit pushed enough." Dimond smile sinisterly.

Back at the castle

Twilight was going over the line with the crusader. "Okay girl let's take it from the top."

Scootaloo then spoke in a monotone voice. "Oh look at the circles under my eyes I haven't split in weeks."

"Why don't you try counting sheep?" Said Sweetie Belle

"That doesn't work I'm afraid of them." Said Scootaloo

"No no no." Said Fluttershy "Scootaloo you can't just read the lines you need to believe them."

"OH everypony!" said Rarity as she entered the court yard "Look what I made!"

Apple Bloom walked out side in a fluffy pink scarecrow costume she looked very annoyed.

"Umm Rarity." Said Applejack "AS some pony who's lifted on a farm I don't think that costume is very authentic."

"Nonsense." Said Rarity "Just because Apple bloom playing a scarecrow doesn't mean she can't look fabulous!"

"I don't even want to know what costumes she made for us." whispers to Rainbow Dash.

"Umm maybe Applejack and I should help you with the costumes." Said Rainbow to Rarity.

"Well if you really think you should very well." Said Rarity.

The three ponies walked into the castle while apple bloom joined her friends.

"Can some pony help me get out of this thing?" Applebloom said

"In a minute dear." Said Fluttershy "But right now let's take it from the top."

Scootaloo looked back on her script "Ahhh!" Scootaloo droned "Something grabbed my tail, something grabbed my tail!"

"We got a long way to go." Sing Fluttershy.

Back at the school the colts finally finish their work for the day.

Then rumble said "Well that was terrible let's got guys. My brother is waiting out side."

"At least the set looks good." Said Button Mash.

"Yeah." Said Tender Tapes "I bet Miss Cheerilee will be happy to see this."

As the three boys shut the door behind them.

Diamond Tiara Silver spoon, and Cozy Glow popped their heads out from the sets.

"Okay girls now it's time to get to work." Said Diamond tiara.

The next day the mane six and the CMC headed to the auditorium.

"Well." Said Fluttershy "You all made great improvement girl especially you Scootaloo."

"Anything would be an improvement compared to yester day." Apple bloom whispers to Sweetie Belle.

"Any how." Said Applejack "I'm sure with all the hard work you girls made I'm sure ya'll get work in this here play."

"You think We'll get the leads?" Said Sweetie Belle

"Let's not get a head of ourselves." said Twilight.

"Stop!" Cried Button Mash just as the girls were about to enter the auditorium.

"Button what's going on?" Asked Sweetie.

"Nothing going on!" Button said nervously "You just can't go into the auditorium right now it's not ready!"

"Well I realize the set not finish yet but I'm sure it's more then ready for auditions." Said Rarity

"No!" Said Button Mash darting his eyes back and froth "It's the paint it's not dry yet!"

Suddenly Thunderlane and Cheeilee appeared from behind.

"Button Mash what is going on here? Why aren't you letting any pony in for the audition?" Asked the school teacher.

"Um" Said button "No reason...It's just we have a little more work to do before we let any pony in!"

Then Thunderlane said "Speaking of which have you seen Rumble I've been looking for him all day."

"Well..."Said Rumble.

All of a sudden a large crash can be heard from with the auditorium. The ponies then rushed into the auditorium, too their horror the Ponyville play set has been completely demolish.

At the center of the stage Rumble and Tender Tapes could be seen desperately trying to pick up the mess.

"Ummm.."Said Rumble whimpering. "We can explain."

Miss Cheerilee was dumbfounded and then said "I don't under stand this boys why on earth would you do something like this?"

"But we didn't Miss Cheerilee!" Rumble try to explain. "Like we said before when we got here this morning we saw the place looking this!"

"Well I like to believe you." Said Cheerilee "But the fact is you boys were the last ponies in this auditorium and I don't see how any pony else could have possible gotten in here?"

Then Thunderlane said "Miss Cheerilee with all due respect, if my brother said he and his friends didn't do it then I believe him."

Then Cheerilee turn to Thunderlane "Well your not exactly an unbiased. So unless a witness comes forth I'm afraid I'm going to have to..."

"Oh my goodness!" a voice called out. The ponies turned to see Diamond Tiara, Silver Spoon, and Cozy Glow entering the auditorium.

"What in Equestria happened in here," said Diamond Tiara innocently.

"Well, were not quite sure," Cheerilee explained, "We found the set for the Pony School Play like this, and can't quite figure out who was responsible for it!"

"Gee that's unbelievable," said Diamond Tiara in disbelief, "Say Cozy Glow, weren't you here at the Ponyville Auditorium last night?"

"What?" said Cozy Glow confused.

"That's right," said Silver Spoon coyly, "You were preparing your audition for the play. You wouldn't happen to have seen anypony who might have destroyed the set, would you?"

"I-I-I.." Cozy Glow stuttered. She looked at Diamond Tiara, Silver Spoon, and then the three colts.

Finally Cozy Glow sighed, "The only ponies I saw were Rumble, Button Mash, and Tender Taps.."

The three colts were horrified at what Cozy Glow said.

"That doesn't prove anything," Thunderlane cried. "I know my brother, he'd never do anything like this."

Cheerilee gave the colts a sad look, "I'm sorry boys, but until I have solid proof of you're innocence, I'm afraid I'm going to have to ban all three of you from the school play."

The three colts looked heartbroken. Thunderlane sadly led his brother and his friends out of the auditorium.

Outside the door, the Mane 6 and the CMCs watched as the sad colts left the building.

"I can't believe that they'd do this," said Fluttershy.

"I don't believe that they did this," said Applebloom. "Those three may be mischievous but they're not destructive."

"That's enough now Sugar Cube," said Applejack putting a hoof on her shoulder. "You three have worked hard on this, now it's time to audition."

Up on what remained of the stage Diamond Tiara read lines with Silver Spoon and Cozy Glow.

"Alright I'll go I there wicked witch or no wicked witch, guards or no guards, I'll tire them apart. I may not come out alive, but I'm going in there only one thing i want you fillies to do!"

"What that?" Said silver spoon

"Talk me out of it!" Wine Diamond Tiara.

"Very Good Diamond tiara." Cheerilee said while sitting in the sets. "Now next up for the audition are Sweetie Belle Applebloom, and Scootaloo."

Diamond tiara and silver spoon trotted off stage with Cozy Glow following behind them. As the two fillies pass by the CMC they gave them cruel smirks.

"Oh wow!" Said Rainbow Dash applauding with other ponies down on the sits. "Wait a go girls you can do it!"

Apple Bloom Scootaloo, and Sweetie Belle carefully took their places.

"Humm what's that's?" Said Scootaloo trying her best to act tariffed.

"That there's the castle of the wicked witch, Doris is in that awful place" Apple bloom said

"Aw I can't bear to think of him in there!" Said Sweetie Belle

"Boo hiss!" A voice cried from back stage

"Diamond tiara that is not appropriate!" Cheerilee stated

"Sorry miss Cheerilee." Diamond tiara said "Apologetically" she then gave the crusaders a cruel smirk.

"Don't cry now we an't got the oil can with and you've been squeaking enough as it is!" Said Apple Bloom

Two voice giggled off stage rather cruelly trying to distract the girl. Cozy glow seeing this was getting annoyed.

"What's that!?" Said Scootaloo trying once again to act scared.

"I got a plan to get in there!" Said Apple bloom "And your going to lead us!"

"She got a plan!" Said Scootaloo "And I'm going to led us...What!?"

All of a sudden Scootaloo tripped.

Diamond tiara and silver spoon burst out laughing.

Cozy Glow then burst out on to the stage "Miss Cheerilee! Those boys did not destroyed the set of the play! We did!"

"What!" Said Diamond Tiara gasp dumbfounded.

"But I don't understand." Said the school teacher "Why would you do such a thing?"

"I didn't want to." Cozy Glow said ashamed "But Diamond tiara convinced me that we needed to get back at those boys for throwing water balloons at her."

"Cozy Glow What are you doing?" Shouted Diamond Tiara.

Cheerile then turn to Diamond Tiara suspiciously.

Then the spoiled notice her and then try to look innocent "I have no idea what's she's talking about."

Chererile then turn to Silver Spoon "Silver Spoon can you explain this?"

Sweat dripped down the fillie's brow as she shivers and shake. "I I I I..."

"Silver Spoon." Cheerile raised an eye brow.

"I adamant it!" Cried Silver spoon. "We did! WE ruin the set! It was all Diamond Tiara's idea! Please have mercy on us!"

"Wait to keep cool pressure Silver Spoon." Diamond Tiara rolled her eyes.

Then the school teacher then said "Well Cozy Glow thank you for coming out and telling the truth. Since you did so I'll let you off easy but none of you girls will be participating in this play."

Then Diamond Tiara and said "Why did you you tell on us?"

"Because." Cozy stated confidently. "You two just being mean for no reason. Also I'd never wait to be in this play nor be friends with you guys."

"Well your in luck!" Said Diamond Tiara "consider yourself out of the group!"

But then as they turn they bumped into Thunderlane who over heard the whole thing gave them a stern glare. "You two are in so much trouble. Not only you framed my brothers and his friends but you destroyed public property doing so. Consider yourselves a punishment well deserve."

The very next day Scootaloo Sweetie Belle, and Applebloom were talking with Rumble Tender Tapes and Button Mash.

"And Well." Said Applebloom "That's how we got the led roles."

Then Rumble asked "What happened to Diamond twerp and Silver Spit tune?"

"Oh Thunderlane." Applebloom said "Said that they have to clean and rebuild the set."

Button then said "Ah krama."

"Um excuse me?" A small voice spoke up behind the fouls. It was Cozy glow with a sad guilty face she was about to apologize but then Applebloom interrupted her.

"Not need to apologize Cozy. "Applebloom said

"Yeah." Button Mash chimed in. "If it wasn't for you we would have be in real trouble."

"And I wouldn't get to try out for the play!" Said Tender Tapes triumphantly

"Your too kind." Said Cozy glow "But I really don't deserve your forgiveness."

Sweetie then said "Sure you do you came out and spoke up agents what what Diamond tiara and Silver spoon were doing."

"Yes." Said Cozy Glow. "But now I don't have any friends at this school."

Then Scootaloo said. "Well you do now! You have us!"

"You still want to be my friends?" Cozy asked "After what I did?"

"Of curse!" said Apple Bloom "That wasn't yer foul. You can came and hang out in the palace any time you want."

Cozy smiled as she knew she finally have friends.

Later as the other fouls have gone to class Cozy Glow hide behind a near by tree. She then took out the book she had been reading thought out the entire day.

Then as a shadowy silhouette appeared from it's pages.

"Unlace Sombra." Said cozy as she smiles wickedly "I'm in."

Then the shadow began to lough. "Mwa hahahahahaha!"

Sweetie Sing

Sweetie Sing

"If all the little blue birds fly oh why, oh why can't I?" Tender Taps sung triumphantly.

"Very Good Tender Taps." Said Cheerilee in the sits below the stage. "Not let's move on to the next since."

Tender Tapes then brace off the stage looking cheerful.

"I can believe that Tender Taps got the led role." Whispers Applebloom who was wearing a straw hat and a patch work shirt.

Then Sweetie Bell who tin plating said "Well he deserves his one of one of the best performers in the entire school."

"Well." Scootaloo wear a lion costume. "Wait tell the get load of when we sing."

"Wait!" Said Sweetie Belle "We have sing nopony said we have to sing!"

"Sweetie Belle." Applebloom said "You've been reading your lines for week. How can not know that we had to sing."

Sweetie began to sweat "I-I-I didn't knew I just thought it was a speaking role."

"No," Said Scootaloo, "We all have big singing numbers in this play of course none are as big as mine."

"Get over yourself queen of the froest." Said Applebloom rolling her eyes.

"Okay girls your up next!" Said Cheerile "It's time to sing if I only had a heart."

"That's your q Sweetie Belle." Applebloom said pushing the small unicorn on the stage.

As Sweetie entered the spot light a look of terror came across her face. She didn't sing, she didn't dance she just stood there sweating."

"Sweetie Belle." Said Cheerile "Are you okay?"

Of a moment Sweetie Belle didn't respond she just stood there. Finally a small scream came out of the filly's mouth.

"AAAAAHHHHH!"

She then ran off the stage and out of auditorium.

Then Scootaloo said "Well that could have gone better."

Back at the palace.

Sweetie Belle sat in her room crying.

Then Rarity open the door and said "Sweetie Belle darling is everything alright?"

"No!" Said Sweetie. "I ran out of the stage back at school because I couldn't sing!"

"But Sweetie." Rarity said confused "You have a lovely singing voice."

"But I don't like to used in front crowed." Said the little unicorn.

"Why on earth not." Said Rarity. "Who now maybe you'll get your cutie mark..."

"No!" Said Sweetie Belle hiding behind her bed.

Rarity looked down on her confused.

"Anything but that!" Said Sweetie "I'll get my cutie mark in anything but not that!"

"But I thought you wanted your cutie mark more then any thing." Said Rarity

"But not singing!" Said Sweetie Belle "If I get my cutie mark in singing then I'll have to sing in front of everypony and don't want to sing in front of anypony!"

Rarity then used her magic to dragged Sweetie Belle out from under the bed.

"Oh Sweetie." Rarity said holding her sister tightly. "Why when I first made costumes for everypony for the play for the pony of Oz. I was terrified that everypony would hate them."

The Sweetie said "Well you never perform on a stage have you?"

"Oh of course I have." Said Rarity. "I have been in plenty of plays before. But I never worry about ponies judging my performance." Rarity said while tossing her mane. "After all you come from a long line of talented unicorns."

"Oh Rarity!" I voice called out "I'm afraid that I washed your new dress of yours on high!"

"While." Said Rarity realizing what her mother had done. "It skips a generation." She then rush out of the room to see that if her dress was still salvageable.

Later Rarity meet with her friends at the Tambelon café.

"Honestly." Said Rarity sipping her milk shake. "She such a talented pony I don't know why she can't sing in front of other."

"Rarity." Said Twilight scolding her. "It's not always easy for somepony to stand out in front of others."

"Yeah." Said Rainbow Dash as she gestures to Fluttershy. "Like Fluttershy here."

Then Fluttershy said "Um can't argue with that."

"Of what Applebloom told me." Said Applejack "Sweetie Belle does find when she acting. It's just the singing part that's got her stuck."

Then Pinkie said "Maybe what she needs it a confidence boot!" Then the pink pony turn "I seem to remember you said you knew stage fright when you see it?"

Then Rarity said "did I say that?"

Pinkie then said "You did but I'm not sure when."

But then Rarity gets an idea. "I've got how about we have her sing in a small crowed."

"Um how small of a crowed are we talking about?" AJ asked.

"Oh just us and Sweetie's friends." Rarity said nonchalantly "And She can't know anything about this."

Later that day Sweetie Belle walked in the palace garden with Applebloom and Scootaloo.

"Where exactly are we going?" Asked Sweetie Belle confused.

Then Scootaloo said "Like I said before there's a new trick Rainbow Dash wants us to see."

Then Applebloom said "And we here."

Then they all see a small gazebo standing in the middle of the garden.

"So... Where's Rainbow Dash?" Sweetie Belle asked curiously.

"Oh she'll be here long shortly." Said Applebloom "Mean time how about we practice our lines for the play."

Applebloom leapt up onto the gazebo, and begin singing triumphantly.

I could while away the hours

Conversatin' with the flowers,

Consutin' with the rain;

Applebloom smiled down at Sweetie Belle, who eyed her suspiciously.

And my head I'd be scratchin'

While my thoughts are busy hatchin'

If I only had a brain..

Scootaloo giggled as Applebloom continued.

I'd unravel ev'ry riddle for my

Individiddle

In trouble or in pain

With my thought every mornin'

I could be an Alicornin'

If I only had a brain.

Sweetie Belle rolled her eyes.

Oh, I, could tell you why

The oceans near the shore

I could think of things I'd never

Thunk before,

And then I'd sit down and think some more.

Applebloom leapt down from the gazebo and danced around Sweetie Belle.

I would not be just a muffin',

My head all full of stuffin',

My heart all full of pain;

She then put a hoof around her Unicorn friend.

And perhaps I'd deserve you and be

Even worthy of you

If I only had a brain.

"Sing it Sweetie Belle," Applebloom pushed her friend towards the Gazebo.

Sweetie Belle sighed and finally gave in.

When a mare's an empty kettle

She should be on her mettle

And yet I'm torn apart

Sweetie Belle danced a bit.

Just because I'm a phony

I could be a proper pony

If I only had a heart.

Scootaloo and Applebloom smiled at each other as their friend continued to sing.

I'd be tender, I'd be gentle

And awful sentimental

Regarding love and art

Sweetie Belle began to smile..

I'd be friends with the sparrows

And the colt that shoots the arrows

If I only had a heart.

Sweetie Belle suddenly leapt atop of the railing, and began swinging about the post.

Picture me a balcony

Above a sings low

Where art thou, Romeoooooo?

"AhhahaaAhahaaAaaah!" Sweetie Belle belted out an Aria triumphantly.

She then leapt down from the post and began to dance atop the banister, now singing louder than ever.

Just to Register Emotion! Jealousy! Devotion!

And really feel the Paaaaaaaaart!

I could stay Young and Chipper!

And I'd lock it with a Zipper!

If I only had a heaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaart!

"Yeah! Woohoo! Way to go Sweetie Belle!" A number voices sounded from behind her.

Sweetie Belle in to her horror she saw the mane six Twilight Rarity, Applejack, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie and spike stand along side Applebloom and Scootaloo.

The you filly was so impressed she lost her place and fell into the mud.

"Oooh." Said Rainbow Dash "Not the way we wanted to go."

"Puff." Said Sweetie spatting out mud from her mouth. "What are you all doing here?"

"Well...Um." Applebloom said "You see the thing is...It's Rarity's idea!"

"Applebloom!" Said Applejack.

"Well it is." Applebloom said.

"Rarity." Sweetie approach her sister. "How could you?"

"I just wanted to show you that you can preform in front of others." Rarity said

"That's just it!" Sweetie said "I can't preform in front of others! I just sang in front of you and look what happened!" She shook the mud off her mane. "I can't sing in front and I can't sing in the play!" Sweetie Belle cried and ran away.

"If she only had the nerve." Scootaloo said sadly.

Down at the Templon café Sweetie Belle was setting on a table drinking a milk shake by herself.

Then she said "Why is sing in front of others is so hard for me? I know I love to sing so why can't I sing in front of crowed or even my friends?"

Then suddenly a voice said "Well look how it is?"

She then turn to see TrenderHoof holding his owe milkshake.

"Rarity's little sister." He said

"Um the names Sweetie Belle." The little unicorn filly said "We've meet severely times."

Then Trender said "Right right, right, so what are you doing here by yourself?"

"Well..." Sweetie Belle nervously twilling her straw. "Everypony I know even my big sister expects me to sing in front the entire school for the Ponyville school play that's coming up. But I don't want to sing in front of everypony, I can beardly sing in front of my friends!"

"Yeah I get it." Said TrenderHoof. "It's tuff performing under pressure. I can't tell how many times Troubleshoes and I flop on a mission because the heat was just to much for us."

"That's what I've been saying!" Said Sweetie "Why can't anypony get that?"

"Yeah it's rough out there." TrenderHoof said nonchalantly. "Ponies always expects you to more then your capable of."

"Exactly." Said the little unicorn filly.

"It's not your fault your a terrible singer." Trender said slyly

"Yes I...HEY." Sweetie said "I'm not a terrible singer!"

"Oh don't be so modest." Trender said waving his hoof. "You probably the worst singing in all of Equestria."

That made Sweet mad and then said "No I'm not I have a great singing voice."

"Oh come on." Said TrenderHoof mockingly "If you had a great voice you wouldn't bee so afraid of performing."

"My voice has nothing to do with that!" Sweetie replied

"Oh so you can't dance either then?" Trender said

"I can so dance!" Said Sweetie branching around

"Then you can't act." Trender keep mocking her.

"I've been acting for weeks!" Sweetie proclaimed.

"So you dance you can sing and you can perform what's the problem then?" Trender asked

"The problem is!" Sweetie Belle said but then a sudden realization dawn upon her. "Ohh I get it."

Sweetie Belle then dashed away and rush towers the school house.

"Works every time." Said Trender Hoof drinking from his milk shake.

Back at the Ponyville school the young fillies were getting prepared for the performants.

Rarity was there helping Applebloom and Scootaloo with their outfits.

"Can't believe Sweetie Belle didn't came to rehearse." Said Applebloom.

Then Rarity snig. "I'm afraid it's my fault. I put to much pressure on her."

"Still." Said Scootaloo "I can't believe she's not going to show up for opening night."

But then voice shouted "Who said I wasn't going to show up?"

They turn to see Sweetie Belle standing there with a confident smile.

"Sweetie Belle!" Rarity said rushing to her sister and hold her tightly. "Oh I'm so happy You've decided to show and perform with your friends!"

Then as she let's go of her Rarity then said "Sweetie I'm sorry I put so much pressure on you. "I just wanted you to shine like the star you truly are."

Then Sweetie said "I know that and it was very clever of you sending TrenderHoof to talk."

"TrenderHoof?" Said Rarity confuse.

"Yeah save it." Sweetie said "I know it was you who send TrenderHoof to trick me into singing tonight."

"But I didn't..." Rarity said

"Come Applebloom and Scootaloo we got a play to do!" The three fillies rushed on to the stage.

The curtains opened on the stage of the Pony School Auditorium. Tender Taps stoop at the center of the stage under the backdrop of a black and white farmhouse.

Somewhere over the rainboom, way up high

There's a land that I heard of once in a lullaby

A small sonic rainboom lowered from the curtains above with Sweetie Belle Atop of it. She began to sing..

Somewhere over the rainboom, skies are blue

And the dreams that you dare to dream, really do come true.

The stage started to light up with beautiful colors and decorative sets. Apple Bloom and Scootaloo appeared behind Sweetie Belle as Tender Taps continued to sing.

Someday I'll wish upon a star

And wake up where the clouds are far behind me

More foals entered the stage in colorful costumes, as Sweetie Belle continued the song.

Where troubles melt like lemon drops away above the chimney tops

That's where you'll find me

Sweetie Belle and Tender Taps began singing together.

Somewhere over the rainbow, bluebirds fly

Birds fly over the rainbow, why then oh why can't I?

All the foals began singing together.

Somewhere over the rainbow, bluebirds fly

Birds fly over the rainbow, why then oh why can't I?

As the chorus stopped, Sweetie Belle sang the final lines of the song.

If happy little bluebirds fly beyond the rainbow

Why, oh why can't IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII?

The ponies in the audience applauded loudly.

After the play, The families of the foals congratulate them on their performants.

"That was great Sweetie Belle." AppleBloom said

Then Sweetie said "Ah I guess."

"Your guess!?" Scootaloo said "You were the star of the show! I can't believe you didn't get your cutie mark!"

Then Sweetie said "Huh I'm glad I didn't."

"What!?" Both Applebloom and Sweetie Belle shouted in amazement.

"I thought the whole point was to get our cutie marks in acting!" Said Apple Bloom.

"Well don't get me wrong this was fun." Said Sweetie Belle. "But this whole experience had made me realize don't want to spin the rest of my life singing and dancing."

"Well what do you want to do?" Asked AppleBloom

"For now." Said Sweetie Belle "I just want to look for my cutie mark with you guys."

"Cutie Mark Crusaders GO!" A three shouted as the high hoof each other.

At the fare corner Rarity was watching her sister and her friends laughing.

"Well that was a wonderful performance." Said TrenderHoof approaching Rarity.

"Huh yes I suppose it was." Said the white unicorn

"So why don't you look happy?" Asked Trender

"It's just I was certain that Sweetie will get her mark tonight." Said Rarity "She just a wonderful singer I don't under stand it."

"Well." Said Trender. "There's a lot more to cutie mark the just destiny. Maybe Sweetie Belle wants something then just singing and dancing."

Then Rarity said "Well I'm just wonder that thing could possible be."

Rarity was so busy talking to Trenderhoof she didn't notice that her sister and her friends were practically glowing.

Clash of the Sibling

Clash of the Sibling

It was morning in Canterlot castle and King Sleipnir and Queen Faust were beautiful breakfast.

The the queen said "This is nice my dear husband no noise, no treat just a relaxing morning here in our Kingdome."

Then King said "Agreed I know our son is still out there plotting but it's nice to relax for a change."

But then a large exploding shouted.

"Krack-Koom!"

"Not again." Said Sleipnir.

They when over to the balcony and right outside the places gates stood two armies of pony soldiers clashing with one another. Cannons fired between the two groups as spears and swords flew through the air

On one side of the battle stood the Alicorn Xanthus waving a deep blue flag. On the side of stood Balius, with a soldier waving a blood red flag behind him.

The war Alicorn shouted "Get ready to see some armor fly!"

His sister replied "Ha! Your aim stinks worst then your hot breath!"

Balius stood proudly and made his declaration against his sister.

I'm Mister War Pony

I'm Bal-i-us

I'm Mister Axe Blister

I'll turn you all into Puss

They call me Bal-i-us

Wherever I go

War and violence will Flow!

It's my show!

Xanthus annoyed with her brothers arrogance, replied with a declaration of her own.

I'm Misses Peace Treaty

I'm Xan-a-Thus

I'm Misses Hope and Bliss

I'll end the struggle and fuss

They call me Xan-a-Thus

Wherever I go

Peace and Harmony Flow!

It's my Show!

Xanthus declared to her brother proudly. Soon the mare soldiers in her group, draped in blue armor, joined in.

She's Misses Peace Treaty

She's Xan-a-Thus

She's Misses Hope and Bliss

She'll end the struggle and fuss

Xanthus Spoke

They call me Xan-a-Thus

Wherever I go

Peace and Harmony Flow!

It's my Show!

Balius, now furious replied with cannon fire.

I never want to see a day

That's filled with quiet and peace!

Xanthus fired back.

I'd rather see folks sing and dance

And let Equestria Be!

Slepinir took a long sip of his coffee. "Every morning they do this."

Then Queen Faust said "You'd think after a thousand years they would have learned to get along."

"Father!" Celestia and Luna flew down from above.

The sun princess spoke "Are they fighting again?"

Luna responded "And I thought Celestia and I had issues. What are fighting about this time?"

"Oh the usual." Slepinir said "Xanthus is the smart one, Balius is the stronger one.. Brains thump brawn, Brawn over brains.. Same as every morning."

"This is worst when nightmare night happened." Celestia said

"I thought we agreed never to speak of that again!" Luna shouted

"Enough!" Said their father "I already to fighting siblings I don't need any more."

Back on the battlefield, Balius strongest stallions, draped in red armor, began taunting Xanthus.

He's Mister War Pony

He's Bal-i-us

He's Mister Axe Blister

He'll turn you all into Puss

Balius joined in.

They call me Bal-i-us

Wherever I go

War and violence will Flow!

It's my show!

"You Thick-Headed, Flat-Nosed Ignoramus!" Said Xanthus

"I takes one to know one!" Said Balius

"That doesn't even make sense!" Xanthus said lecturing her brother.

I never want to see a day

That's full of violence and war!

Balius Smiled

I'd rather see folks fight and squabble

and let the fire's soar!

"Enough!" Shouted Sleipnir lightning and thunder filling the sky.

The brother and sister turn to see their uncle knowing that they were in trouble.

"Two for a nearly a millennia and I have enough of it!" Shouted the alicorn king.

"She/He started!" Both of the shouted

"I don't care who started it!" Said Sleipnir "I'm going to finish it! Now both of you shake hoofs and make up!"

Xanthus and Balius looked at each other with disgust. Finally they Xanthus extended her hoof to her brother just when it looks like he was about the except it he slapped her hoof away.

"Ha too slow!" Said the war pony.

"That tears it!" Xanthus shouted as she tackled her brother to the ground wrestling him.

As Slepinir watch the two siblings squabble his twitch. "Why didn't I stop at four Alicorns? Day, Night, Love, magic what more does a Kingdome need?"

Meanwhile at Tambelon castle the 12 ponies and Spike were enjoying their own breakfast.

"Come and get everypony!" Shouted Applejack "More flat jack hot of the grittle.

The earth pony toss the flap jacks into the air and one by one the landed one every ponies plate except for Pinkie Pie and Cheese who bit into theirs in the air.

"Thanks for inviting us over for breakfast." Said Spike

"Nothing to it." Said AJ "You know ya'll are welcome at the Apple farm."

"I thought it was the castle farm." Said Trenderhoof

Then TroubleShoes smack him on the head.

Then AJ said "Well that may be true but the king and queen decaled that this here farm will always be Apple family property."

"Mom and Dad are generous that way." Twilight whispers to Flash.

"Um excuse me sugar cube." Voice called out, it was Granny Smith with big Mac by her side. "There's some guard ponies here who want to see you'll and the princess."

Then Twilight and the others came out to see what all the fuss was about.

"Princess Twilight." One of the guards proclaimed. "Your needed at the castle."

"I'll take it from here." A voice said it was Celestia who flouted down to the ponies.

"Princess Celestia" Twilight said "What are you doing here?"

"I'm afraid I have another mission for you." Celestia said

"We don't have to save Equestria again do we?" Rainbow asked

"No, no." Said Celestia "I have another mission for you. You now of my cousins Balius and Xanthus."

"Of course." Said Twilight. "Everypony in Equestria knows about Xanthus and Balius. Xanthus is the alicorn of peace and wisdom and protects Equestria from innovators and Balius is the alicorn of war and watch over Equestria's army."

"Yes." Said Celestia "Both of them are very imported to Equestria. But sometimes they fail to remember how imported they both are."

Then Twilight said "Were they fighting again I've they fight a lot."

"Oh Twilight." Said The sun princess sadly "Their always fighting. Every day and every night those two have been fighting with each other for centuries and that's why we need your help."

Then Twilight asked "Why us?"

Celestia snig "Father had have enough of their costed squabbling. So he thought maybe you can doing something about it. After all you are the guardians of harmony."

Then Flash said "Well it might be easy for Xanthus, but Balius on the other hoof could be really hard."

Celestia then said "Well yes but father still believes you can stop these two from their pointless bickering."

Then Twilight said "Then we'll do our best."

On the outskirts of Canterlot.

The ponies and Spike headed up the mountain throw's the place.

"So how are we going to handle this exactly." Soarin asked

Then Twilight said "I think you boys should talk to Balius while we girls have a heart to heart with Xanthus."

Then Spike said "That's kind of obvious. Wait what am I'm going to do?"

Then Twilight said "Maybe you can go across Canterlot and ask ponies how this whole rivalry began."

Thunderlane frowned.

"What's a matter Thunderlane?" Fluttershy asked

"It's just these two alicorns have been fighting with each other since time in memorial." Said Thunderlane. "I'm not sure a couple of ponies like us can end an eternal conflict."

Then Rainbow Dash said "Relax Thunder head we've face bigger challenges then this. Compared to saving all of Equestria this should be a pace of cake."

All of a sudden a loud expulsion could be heard across the mountain above. the ponies looked up word to see cannons and swords flying thought the air as Xanthus and Balius forces contained to fight with each other.

"HA ha!" Said Xanthus "Nice try brother but as usual your strategy comes up short!"

"Is that some kind of short joke!" Said Balius with a red face.

"No but you are rather small minded." Said Xanthus

"Um...Excuse me." Twilight Sparkle flying up to the two alicorns still fighting each other.

"Not now!" Said Xanthus shooing away the young pony.

"But if I could just have a moment." Said Twilight

"Scram!" Shouted Balius

"But if you just listen to me." Twilight said

"That is enough!" cried a voice thunder and lightning came from the skies once again Sleipnir came from the place above got between his nice and nephew. "This is Twilight Sparkle." He gestures to the purple alicorn "She and her friends are here to finally put an end to this ridiculous conflict and if you got a problem with that I'll have to take up with me!"

"Um hello." Said Flash Sentry made it up the mountain the other ponies and Spike fallowed behind them.

"You expect us to listen to these puny pathetic ponies!?" Shouted Balius

"As usual brother your ignorance has no end." Said Xanthus "This is princess Twilight Sparkle and these are her comrades who help save all of Equestria from Sombra's evil."

"I don't care who they are!" Cried war pony "I'm an alicorn I don't have to listen to this!"

"Princess Twilight sparkle is also an alicorn." Said Xanthus showing off Twilight's wings.

"You call this runt and alicorn?" Said Balius "I've seen bigger ponies in my sleep."

"Quite!" said Sleipnir "These are here to help you and you will listen or so help me I will banishes you both from the Kingdome!"

Balius gave a large grunt as the alicorn king flew away.

For a moment the ponies were silent then finally Twilight Sparkle spoke up.

"Well um...Xanthus if you come with us, we'll be more then happy to talk to you about your issues with your brother."

"Where do I start?" Xanthus said rolling her eyes.

As the mares walked away Balius turn to the stallions and shouted. "Well are going to start this thing or not?"

As both the armies and Spike watch the alicorns walked away one the solder spoke up.

"Well that's a rap ponies!"

Then all of sudden all the soldiers began dropping their weapons and shaking hoofs.

Then Spike said "Wait your not mad at each other any more?"

"Of course not." Said one of the stallions in red. "We were never angry to began with."

"This happens every single day." Said one of the mares in blue. "We just put up with it because it's good battle training."

Spike just stood there dumbfounded and then said "So does Balius and Xanthus know about this?"

Deep with in the confines of Canterlot castle we see the Xanthus and the mares at the royal library. While servant ponies were tenting to the alicorn's needs.

"Aw." She grown. "You have not idea what's it's like to deal with such an arrogant pig headed sibling. Every day for a thousand years straight my brother had made pointless war after war and I'm always have to be the one to clean up his messes. I know his the alicorn of war but that's still no excuse."

Then Applejack said "Look you're majesty I understand I got plenty of relative myself and some times they work on last nerves. But I love none the less and I know deep down that they love me too."

"Not Balius." Said Xanthus "That selfless pony handed care about my feelings for a thousand years."

"But he must care about your feels once." Said Fluttershy "Surly there must have been some reason you two are always fighting."

"Of course there's a reason." Said Xanthus "His a pig headed buffoon with out the slightest bit of intelligence."

"Well." Twilight spoke up. "Your also the alicorn of peace isn't there some way you can find some command ground with him?"

"Of course not!" Said Xanthus "We have nothing in command never and had never will."

Then Rainbow Dash said "But your both warrior alicorns."

"That's a coincidence." Xanthus said "I don't even remember how that pony became an alicorn."

"Honestly how did that pony become an alicorn!?" Cried Balius kicking a punching bag. "All she ever does is sit in that library and read!"

"Well." Said Flash Sentry as he was trying to hole the bag as hard as he could. "She is the alicorn of wisdom."

"Ugh. Don't remind me." Balius said while giving the bag another hard kick. "All that pony ever does is remind me how much smarter she is then me. Well it's more then smarts to run an army it also takes brute strength!" He gave one last hard kick to the punching bag then it flew thought the air with Flash still on it.

Thunderlane just mange to catch him in the nice of time then said "Well I agree with straight is import isn't strategy also what wins a battle?"

"No!" Shouted Balius "You don't need a plan to fight you just charge in and beat the enemy with your bear hooves!"

Then Soarin said "Uhh...I all for a good fight but I don't think that would be a very smart strategy."

"Oh!" The war pony then flew to his face and shouted "So your saying I'm dumb is that it!?"

"No what no! I didn't say that!" Soarin said

"So I'm not as smart as my sister and that made be a bad alicorn is that what your saying?!" Balius said with his eyes glowing red.

"No!" Said Soarin hiding behind Troubleshoes "No pony is saying that!"

"You all think I'm an idiot don't you?!" The war pony said

"I think that." Said Cheese

Balius mane got on fire, a large expulsion could be heard from within the castle.

Back with Xanthus and the mane six heard the expulsion.

"What was that?" Rainbow Dash said

"Oh Balius throwing one of his hissy fit again." Xanthus said after eating a grip. "Honestly you have no idea how to have a brother as annoys you every step of the way."

"What bet." Said Fluttershy frowning.

Then Rarity said "Well Xanthus darling we all know what's it's like having siblings that can work on your nerves from time to time. Why with my little sister Sweetie Belle is always making messes going through my things and reading my dairy." Rarity was getting irritated.

"The point is." Twilight interrupted her "We all have problems with family. But we always know they have our backs no matter what."

"Not Balius." Said the wisdom alicorn "He haven't had my back for centuries."

"But what about the time you and him set aside your differences to fight Sombra and his forces." Twilight replied

"Oh we always set aside our differences to fight Sombra." Xanthus said "It's the only time we're not arguing."

Then Pinkie said "Then way can you get along when your not fighting Sombra?"

"I told you before." said Xanthus in annoyance "We have nothing in commend."

hours later the mare exit the library disappointed.

"Well that was a waste of time." Said Rainbow Dash.

"I just don't under stand how brother and sister can dislike each other as much as those two do." Said Applejack.

"More to the point Why wouldn't they tell us why they dislike each other."

"Well." Said Twilight "Maybe the boys have better luck then we did."

"Don't count on it." A voice said the mares turn to see the stallions approving them all smoldering.

Flash then said "Balius is not the type of pony that whom listen to reason."

"His the type of pony that's easy offended and goes into a blind rage." Said Cheese.

"I told you this won't be easy." Said Thunderlane. "You can't just forces ponies like those two to get along."

Then Spike came in and shouted "Guy your not going to believe this listen to what I've found out!"

The ponies and Spike were setting in the Canterlot gardens sipping on some milk shakes.

"Okay Spike." Twilight said "Start explaining."

"Okay here's how the guard ponies told me." Spike said

"Apparently." Spike narrated "Balius and Xanthus weren't always enemies in fact the use to be best friends."

We a young pegasus mare reading a book atop of a tree she bears a toga and long light blue mane.

"Heads up!" A voice cried out.

The young mare look up a stone discus heading right for her. The discus hit her and knocked her out of the tree.

"Balius!" cried the young mare annoyed.

"Sorry sis." A young red colt in a toga ran up to her a sheepish grin on his face.

"Honestly little brother you should be more carful where you throw this thing." said the young pegasus mare.

"I'm sorry Xanthus." The young colt whimpered ready to cry.

Xanthus suddenly lost her luster and said "Oh it's alright littler brother I love you." The young pegasus gave him a big hug.

"HEAR-YE HEAR-YE!" A booming voice cried out the two ponies turn to see a large minotaur standing in the towns square besides a large carriage. "All rise for the mighty king Gregor!" Then carriage then open and a large muscular goat stepped out of it.

"Yes yes, it good to see me isn't it?" He turn to the ponies in changes force to pull the carriage. "Citizens of Cloudsdale it's that time of the mouth again it's time to pay your takes!"

The numerous pegasi sighed and began to line up the bags of gold to give to the goat.

"Yeah!" Said Balius racing to the carriage. "You can't do that!"

"Well of course I can!" Said Gorger. "I am lord Tirek's second in command so unless you want him to turn your home in to a baron waste land you do as I say."

He then gave the colt a kick forces Xanthus to catch her younger brother.

"I was on that day Spike continued. "That Xanthus and Balius decided to form an army just to take out Gorger, It took them many years to form an army of pegasus large enough to challenge the old goat. But eventually they were able to challenge him with Xanthus's strategy and Balius's straight the two of them where unbeatable and the two of them were able to beat Gorger's forces. As a award for their bravery King Sleipnir decide to make them both Alicorns.

"But on the day on their coronation."

It was a beautiful day in Canterlot. The castle thrown room was filled with guard ponies Balius and Xanthus walked tows throne both looking rather proud. Atop of the throne stood King Sleipnir and his queen and three children as Xanthus and Balius reach the throne and Sleipnir spoke.

"Xanthus and Balius both of you have proven yourself to be brave and noble ponies and for you heroic efforts you shell both be rewarded."

Sleipnir's horn began to glow and the two pegasus siblings began to rise in to the air. There was a brilliant flash of light then suddenly both Xanthus and Balius were alicorns.

"I hear by name Balius alicorn of war and you Xanthus alicorn of wisdom!" The alicorn king proclaimed.

"Wait a minute." Said Balius expression quickly change "What do you mean the alicorn of wisdom?"

"Um excuse me?" Sleipnir asked.

"I just saying how came she gets the smart title you saying I'm dumb?" said the now war pony.

"Come down Balius." Said Xanthus "It's just a silly title."

"Oh so now I'm silly?" Said Balius angrily.

"Well I didn't want to say anything but your acting pretty ridiculous right now." Said Xanthus

"Ridiculous!?" Shouted Balius as he leaped into the air.

The ponies watching the ceremony were quakily becoming uncomfortable.

"Claim down Balius your empiercing me!" She shouted

"Oh so it's all about you!?" Balius screamed "How do you think i fell being the dumb Alicorn!"

"Um I never said that." Sleipnir try to interrupted.

Then they both shouted "Stay out of this!"

Spike then narrated again "And so the two ponies continued to fight throughout the ceremony and their still fighting to this day."

"Wait a minute." Said Rainbow Dash "You're telling me this whole feud got started because Xanthus got a better title then Balius?"

"That pretty much somas it up." Said Spike

Soarin then said "Well that's just ridiculous! Why would they fight over something as silly as a title?"

"Well their are alicorns." Said ThunderLane "And they had those titles of a thousand years."

"I guess that would make since that they would have trouble letting go." Said Twilight

"So why doesn't Sleipnir just change their titles." TrenderHoof asked

"I'm not sure if it's that simple." Said Applejack

"Sounds to me like Balius wasn't so much upset about his title as he was about Sleipnir thinking Xanthus was smarter then him." Said Flash

"I'm sure Sleipnir didn't mean any harm." Said Fluttershy

"Maybe not." Said Spike. "But Balius sure does."

"There's got to be some way we can get them to work out their issues." Said Rarity

"Ummm." Said Twilight Sparkle "Xanthus said the only time that they get along is when they work together to fight an enemy."

"But where are we going to get an enemy to get them to fight?" asked Pinkie

A wicked grind suddenly came across Rainbow Dash's face. "I have an idea."

The next day

In Xanthus her hoof ponies till attending to her when all of a sudden a large roar shook the entire library.

"What in Equestria was that?" The wisdom alicorn asked as she then race to the top most part of the castle.

From up in the tower she look down and saw a missive goat like creature with one hideous eye slimming it's fist on the castle gates.

"Sister!" A voice cried out Xanthus then looked up and to se Balius flying tows her. "It's an Arimaspi!"

"I thought the Arimaspi were extinct!" Said Xanthus.

"Well apparently one survive!" said the war pony.

"Summoned the troops!" Shouted Xanthus "Don't let it enter the city!"

One of the soldier blew a horn and then an entire armada flew up into the air.

Then Balius then asked "What's the plan sister?"

Xanthus then thought' "Arimaspi are large but they are incredibly dense."

Then Balius said "Yeah...Um what's dense?"

Xanthus just rolled her eyes. "Just fallow my lead."

The two ponies flew down tows the creature below.

"You to the right I'll go the the lift." Said the wisdom alicorn

"Oh I get it." Said Balius "The old two heads are better then one maneuver. We haven't use that tactic since the great changeling invention!"

The two alicorn circles around the beast thought it try it's best to strike at them. but it's single eyes couldn't keep up with both them at once."

"Now troops!"

The solders began circling the beast with massive ropes.

Then as the beast's hooves got tangled it slowly but settle fell to the ground.

"Keep it up solders!" Balius cried

The troops began to hog tie the beast hooves to it hands. Soon it was stuck on it's back in a inescapable position.

The Balius then shouted "Woooww He did high hoof sis!" He hold out his hoof and Xanthus then holed out her hoof and now they high hoove.

Then as soon as they realized what they had done they broke apart.

"Well well, well," A voice cried out it was Twilight and mane 6 approaching them. "Seems like you two can get along."

Then Xanthus said "Well...yes but only tows battle."

"So why can you get along the rest of the time." Said flash with the rest of the stallion six fallowing behind

Then Balius said "Well that should be obvious. It because she thinks she so much smarter then me."

"Wait!" Xanthus said "That's why you've been upset with me all the sentries."

Then Balius turn to her and said "Of course! Why else would I be upset. Everyone talks about how smart you are and me I'm just a big dumb brute."

Xanthus thought for a minute. "I don't think your a big dumb brute."

"Wait you don't?" Balius asked

""I was just angry with you because I thought you didn't like me anymore." Xanthus said in a sad voice "We used to be so close when we were fouls but ever since we became alicorns. It's seems like you wanted nothing to do with me."

Then Balius then seeing his sister tearing up. "Oh Xanthus I just thought with you being a smart and talent pony like you wouldn't want anything to do with a big dumb brute like." He then place his hoof on his sister chine. "Now I've said to any pony before and I probably will never say it again. But I'm sorry."

Xanthus then let his worlds stink in and then embarrass him and he return the hug.

"Aww." Said Pinkie "That's the most sweetest thing I've ever seen!"

"Mission accomplish." Said Rainbow Dash

"Wait." Said Xanthus as she and her brother turn to them suspiciously. "What do you mean mission accomplish? You ponies didn't have anything to do with this."

"Oh didn't we?" Said spike appearing from behind the Arimaspi.

"Okay discord you can drop the act now!" Flash said

"Well it's about time!" The Arimaspi spoke then it transforms into a filler Draconequus. "It was hot in that disguise."

Xanthus and Balius jaws dropped suddenly a look of anger appended on their faces.

"You mean this whole invention was just a trick!?" Shouted Balius

The ponies suddenly got nervous.

"Yes...technically this was a trick but it was the only way we can get you guys to get along." Said Rainbow Dash

"My brother and I don't like being deceived." Growled Xanthus. "Regardless of the situation."

"Now hold on just a minute!" A voice cried out. They all soon see Slepinir flying to them as he said "True they did trick but think of it this way if they haven't you two would still be at each other's throats. And be honest here you two bickering with each other had got on a lot of ponies nerves."

"Wait!?" both sibling shouted "You were in on it!?"

Then the alicorn king walking smugly. "Yes what what about?"

"IcannotBelivethis!" both Balius and Xanthus shouted, "HowCouldyoudothistoUs!YouAlwaysdothistoUs!YouhaveNorespectforUs!WhenareyouGoingto..?" The two Alicorns continued to chase after their uncle screaming at him in unison.

"I think they have more in common with each other than they thought," whispered Applejack to the others.

The mares and stallions laughed as they watched the two siblings continue to shout at their uncle.

Ponies of the night

Ponies of the night

Long ago in days of Old,

A story that is often Told!

Two Sisters, one of Day, one of Night

Both got into an awful fight

Which was better? Night or Day?

Neither Alicorn could Say!

And so a curse was started soon,

A Nightmare brought on by the Moon!

Eternal night did drape the land,

Brought on by an Alicorns Demand!

A war was waged for Night and Day,

And Darkness finally blown Away!

The King arrived, his anger wild,

But did not wish to lose another Child!

And so instead declared a day,

For Luna to lament her ways!

And that is why, once a year,

We celebrate this Night of Fears!

Nightmare Night, What a fright!

Creatures hunting for a bite..

"Wait a minute Zecora?" Applebloom spoke up. She wore a pink dress with a black stripe and her large red bow. "We already know all about how Princess Luna tried to curse Equestria with Eternal Night, and that's how Nightmare Night came to be, but what creatures?

The Zebra in a voodoo priestess costume looked down at the group of frightened fillies sitting before her and replied.

An excellent question Applebloom!

For on that night so full of gloom,

An entire army Luna raised,

Of nightmare ponies wild and crazed!

And though dear Luna soon was shamed,

Her nightmare army still remained!

Dark ponies bat wings and fangs,

And never ending hunger pangs!

Wicked ponies of the Night!

Looking for something sweet to bite!

The fillies shacked after hearing that. Scootaloo wearing a green dress with a black stipe spoke up, "Y-y-y-you mean z-z-z-z-zombie p-p-ponies?"

"Worse," a voice said from behind the group of fillies, "Vampire Ponies!"

A large pony with sharp fangs hopped out from behind the foals.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!" The foals in colorful costumes screamed.

The pony behind them suddenly removed her fangs. "Got ya," Rainbow Dash proclaimed.

The fillies gave off a sigh of relief and the laughing about the prank that they have just experience.

Then Scootaloo said "You got a us."

"A wonderful jest." Zercroa said "You Rainbow Dash are truly the best."

"Thank you it was nothing." Said RD

"Aright fillies!' said Applejack entering the barn dress as a tin mare. "That's enough of the scary stories it's time to go trick of treating."

The fillies race out of the barn excitably.

Then AJ turn to Rainbow Dash who was wearing a bat costume. "Don't ya'll know that there's not such thing as vampire ponies? Vampire fruit bats maybe?"

"Aw come on Applejack." said Rainbow Dash. "It's nightmare night don't spoil the fun."

"Dash dear Applejack." Said the zebra "Best not to question this night of black."

Thought out the streets of the Tambelon were ponies young and old walking from door to door get tasty treats.

"Um um umm." Said Applejack walking besides her friend "I don't care how old you are there's ways room for trick of treating on nightmare night."

"I'll say." Pinkie in a clown costume with candy in her mouth.

"It too bad Fluttershy couldn't join us." Rarity said in a gown.

Then Twilight who wear a knight costume. "Well you know she fells about nightmare night. Just too darn scary for her."

"What's there to be scared off?" Ask Rainbow Dash. "Kids in costumes and all the free candy you can get!"

"Careful Rainbow Dash." Said Twilight "You should mock the holiday."

"Oh or what?" Said Rainbow Dash "Well get attacked by the creatures of the night?"

"Creatures of the night?" Spike said nervously and he was wear a dragon costume

"Relax Spike." Applejack said "It's just an old ponies tale."

"Actually that's not entirely true." Said Twilight "The modern historians believe that the reason wear costumes on nightmare night was to hide from the remains of Nightmoon's forces. Apparently even thought Luna eternal night was stopped many of the ponies who she bestowed powers on still wish to rule Equestria and so many of them keep their powers the only problem was their powers only works once a year on nightmare night and so they have to sleep the rest of the year avoiding daylight."

"Aw pony feathers that just a lot of superstition." Applejack said

"Maybe." Said Twilight. "But you got to adamant there's a lot of creepy stuff that can happen of nightmare night."

"Well if we stated seeing any vampire ponies." lough Rainbow Dash "I'll be sure to tell you."

Meanwhile deep within the Eeverfree frost an old donkey head tows an abandon castle at the edge of a cliff.

He slowly walked up a stone stair case tows the highest room in the tallest tower. Within the confines of the room a large coffin on a torch shrine.

"Master." The Dovekey cried out. "It is nightmare night once again."

The coffin then burst open reviling a bale white pony with a black cape appeared, he smiled with a fang grin and said "Finally a night I can stink my teeth into."

He then spared his leather bat wings and flew out the window and as he was flying he remembers one glaring problem in this very night.

"All the ponies will be wearing costumes." He said to himself. "I won't be able to tell which is a pony or which be my brethren." The vampire pony sigh. "I suppose I must settle of Wapples again."

Within the castle gardens stood a small simple cottage was there and Fluttershy looked out the window.

"Oh I wish I could participate in nightmare night with my friends." Fluttershy said "But it's so terrifying out there."

A small white bunny then hopped on her head and gave her a stun look.

"I know angle bunny." Said Fluttershy "But I can't help being afraid."

She then gave sigh "Come on let's check on the place pets."

Fluttershy and Angle walked out side of the door and into the garden were many magnificent animals belong to the king and queen's strolled high above in the sky a mysterious figure looked down on Fluttershy tenting to a giraffe.

"There you mister Speckles." Fluttershy said "Now to ten to Mr. and Mrs. Otteren." She then turn to the two ottoers.

"Well hello." Voice said from behind her.

Fluttershy said nearly leap up in the sky she turn to see a bale white stallion in a black cape standing directly at her.

"Oh I'm sorry." The bale pony said "I didn't mean to frighten you."

Fluttershy gave a small snig of relief. "Oh that's alright you just startled me is all."

Fluttershy surveyed the tall stallion curiously. "I never seen somepony like you here before."

Then white stallion gave a bow. "Count Bloodfang at your services ma'am."

"Oh well that's a very lovely costume." Said Fluttershy.

"Costume?" said the count "Oh no, no. This are my finest gowns I'm afraid I don't believe in participating in nightmare night."

"Really?" Said Fluttershy happy to hear this. "Me too."

"I can tell." Said The count with a toothy smile. "Tell me my dear why are you not participating with the other ponies?"

"Oh." Said Fluttershy "It the scary costumes I couldn't possible go out there."

"I know what you mean." Said the count "Those ridiculous costume make it impossible to tell who's a pony and whos not. Huh some times I wish all just give up that ridiculous tradition."

"I can't believe it." Said Fluttershy. "Me too."

"Imagine that." The count smiled "Tell me my dear what was your name again?"

"Fluttershy." Said the small pony blushing

"Well my dear Fluttershy I know this maybe formal. But would you be interested for joining me tonight for a bite?" Said the count said.

"Oh I don't know." Said Fluttershy "I suppose if I was with you I can give it a try."

The count gave a wide toothy grin. "Wonderful."

Meanwhile back on the streets of Canterlot the rest of the mane six and spike were still trick or treating.

"Um Um." Spike biting in a candy apple. "This has got to be the best hole we had yet."

"Don't forget." Said Rarity "That Trenderhoof and TroubleShoes their costume ball at their blimp."

"How could I forget." said Rainbow Dash "Soarin been bragging about it for weeks."

Back on the blimp TrenderHoof and Cheese were hanging up streamers.

"Well this sure to be a spirited event." Said TrenderHoof wearing a tabor tux.

"Not to mention." Said Cheese wearing a hunk of cheese. "Wild and crazy!"

Then Troubleshoes wear ghost said "Just make sure you don't crash the blimp this time."

"Wait a minute!" Said Soarin wearing a Wonderbolt costume "You crash the blimp before?"

Then TrenderHoof said "Only once."

Then Flash and Thunderlane guard pony uniforms. "Well guys we got the food!"

Then Cheese said "Alright when do we get to eat!?"

"We don't eat until the rest of the gust arrived." Thunderlane said

Then Rumble Tender, and Button Mash entered behind them all wearing red green and blue capes and shirts.

"Hey bro!" Said Rumble "Did you asked Fluttershy to the ball yet?"

Thunderlane then rolled his eyes and said "I told you before Fluttershy don't celebrate nightmare night."

"That's weird." Said Button Mash. "Cues we just saw her at sugar cube corner."

"What?" Said Thunderlane. "But that's not.."

"Yeah." Said Tender Tapes. "She was with some other stallion."

"What?!" Thunderlane screamed and quickly flew off the blimp.

Then Rumble asked "What was that all about?"

Then Tender said "I don't know but do you think that Sweetie Belle would dance with Button Mash?"

"Guys!" Shouted the young colt.

Down at sauger cub canner.

Fluttershy and the count wear setting at a table across from each other. Fluttershy spit a milk shake while Bloodfang was drinking a tall glass of tomato juice.

"My goodness ." Fluttershy said while looking around the place. "I didn't expect so many ponies in costumes here."

"Do not worry my dear." Said the count "All of these costumes are clearly fake. You can tell by the shawty craftsman."

"Oh Blood count." Said Fluttershy "Your so brave and intelligent."

"Ah you flatter me." said the count.

The two continued catting no notices Thunderlane looking out from the window.

"Count." Fluttershy said "I wasn't gonna tell you this but. Actually invited to a nightmare night party."

"You don't say." said the count smiling. "I wasn't thinking of but if you come with as friend 'll feeling a lot better."

"Oh Fluttershy." Said the count "I love to come with you on one condition."

"What is it?" Ask Fluttershy.

Then count's eyes suddenly glow bright red. "Look into my eyes."

Back at the blimp the party was in full swing.

Spike was dancing with Rainbow Dash Pinkie Pie, and Cheese. Rarity was having an amusing conversation with TrednerHoof, Applejack was starting a conga line.

"Well button." Said Ruble nudging his friend." Ars you gonna asked her?" He pointed to Sweetie Belle with a light blue dress wit a black strip she was dancing with Apple Bloom and Scootaloo.

"No!" Button shouted

Flash Sentry was dancing with Twilight until he notice Thunderlane entering the room rather gloom.

"Hey buddy." Flash going to him "What's with the long face?"

"Nothing." Said Thunderlane. "Nothing."

"Well doesn't seem like nothing." Said Soarin listing in on the conversation.

Back at the door Trouble shoes was still letting gust inside. "Oh Fluttershy." Noticing the frillier yellow pegasus. "I didn't expect to see you here tonight nice costume."

Fluttershy said nothing and just walked pass him and enter the blimp.

Then Troubleshoes said "Well that was awfully strange?"

Back on the blimp DJ Pon-3 was jamming on the turn table all of a sudden Pinkie Pie interrupted her. "Come one everypony it's time to kick this nightmare night up a noge!"

The music blared as ponies dance happily, except for Thunderlane. All of a sudden he notices a familiar looking pony in the crow.

"Fluttershy?" Said Thunderlane looking confused. He walked into the crowed looking for her.

"Hey Flash!" He said looking to his friend. "Have you see..."

Suddenly the entire blimp turn dark the ponies chattered confused as what to what happened.

"Hold on everypony!" Shouted Twilight Sparkle. "I got a light!" Her horn emanated a bright beam of light which she began to shine along the room. All of a sudden her light focus on a large object on the ceiling. Everypony looked upon what appeared to be a giant pare of yellow bat wings."

All of a sudden the wing spared open revealing a hideous fang pony and the creature was Fluttershy "Hissss."

The ponies thought out the blimp screamed in horror as Flutterbat flew down upon the crowed of panic ponies.

"What in Equestria is going on?!" Shouted Flash

"I think." Said Twilight "That's Fluttershy!"

"AAAAHHHHH!" Screamed the Cutie Mark Crusaders as they ran away from the fanged beast.

All three of them hide under the punch table.

"Find your own hiding spot!" Said Spike who was already under there.

"Slow down everypony!" Shouted Applejack to the screaming ponies trying to escape. "There's nothin' to be panic about!"

"Aaahhh!" Said Pinkie jumping on Applejack. "Bat in the blimp bat in the blimp help!"

"Fluttershy!" Said Rarity "Cease this outrageous behaver at once!"

The flutterbat looked down at her former friend with a growl. Suddenly she swoop down drily tows Rarity fangs beared.

"Look out!" Shouted TrenderHoof as he pushed Rarity out of the way.

Thunderlane the shouted "Soldiers!"

"Is he talking to us?" Asked cheese to Soarin.

"The time has come for an evasive maneuvers! Go Go, Go!"

Soarin and Flash both flew up in the air and attempted to talk Fluttershy. Unfortunately the viscous Flutterbat was very hard to take down.

"Okay!" Said Troubleshoes "Everypony out!" He bucked a big hole in the side of the blimp.

"Hey your going to have to pay for that!" TrenderHoof said

The ponies then ran out of the hole and out to the streets of Templon.

"Is that everypony?" Asked Applejack

"AAAAHHHH!" Screamed a voice.

They turn to see Rumble Tender Tapes and Button Mash in the bath of the crashing Flutterbat.

Soarin and Flash tangled up with her.

"Look out!" Both Thunderlane and Rainbow Dash screamed at the same time.

Thunderlane flew to the ad of his little brother and his friends and pushed them out of harms way.

Meanwhile Rainbow Dash join Soarin and Flash and mange to drop Flutterbat to the ground.

"Fluttershy!" Shouted Rainbow Dash "What is wrong with you?!"

But all the bat pony said "Hiisssss!"

The rest of the mane six and Stallions gathered around her.

"What in tarnation is going on with her?" Shouted Applejack.

Twilight in cased Fluttershy in a bubble of magic. "I never seen something like this before, she almost look like a Vampire pony."

"But Vampire Ponies aren't real." Said Trender "Are they?"

"Hummmm." Said Zecora "She's a vampire pony for sure, she has been vampireifed that can not be denied."

The Mane six Stallions and spike were at Zecroa's hut. Flutterbat was still in the bubble floating above Zecrora

"So wait a pony picking minute." Said Applejack "How can she be a vampire pony I thought they were a myth?"

Zercora "Once a year on nightmare night, Luna's old forces of terror a fright awaken once again to feed. Once again to feed the restore the power that they need."

"So the legends are true." Said Twilight "Count's princess Luna do something about this?"

Zecroa sigh. "Luna did once lead this crew but now her rain surely thought. She can not cure poor Fluttershy a truth you can not deny."

The Flash said "Well then how do we fix her?"

"There's but one way to beat this curse, defeat the one who cures her first."

"Um what now?" Asked Rainbow.

"It quite simple." Said Spike "A pony can only be became a vampire pony by being cruse by another vampire pony. Once a pony stares at the hypnotic eyes there curse forever to be a vampire pony. Sucking the light out of anything that they can, the only way to undo the cruse is to find the vampire pony who cruse them frist and seal them away in a box."

The ponies in the room looked at spike dumbfounded.

"What I read a lot of comic books." Said Spike

"So." Said Twilight thinking. "We have to find the pony who cursed Fluttershy? How are we supposed to do that?"

Zecroa smiled. "Luna had a second in command a leader of her fearsome band. A castle beneath the Eeverfree bangs the dreaded terrible blood fang."

"Blood fang is real?" Said Twilight

"Wait." Said Flash "You know about this guy?"

"Oh yes." Said Twilight "And from what I've read he was not a nice pony."

"Um..."Said Cheese Sandwich "How not nice are we talking about here?"

"After Nightmare Moon was defeated." Said Twilight "Count Blood Fang took over her army, and try to conquer all of Equestria lucky Celestia and her froces were able to cruse them to eternal sleep. Other ways they might have taken over."

"Um..."Said Pinkie Pie her teeth chattering. "Is there any chance they can be another vampire pony?"

Zerora spoke "Blood fang is last of his kind. A fact that makes him out of his mind."

"Uhhhh." Said Soarin nervously. "What do you say we go back to Canterlot and have Celestia handle this."

"There is no time." Zecroa said "Once the sun rises on Nightmare night Fluttershy will be crused for life."

"You mean." Said Twilight in a panic "Fluttershy will be like this forever?"

The ponies looked up to their fanged friend still snarling and growling at them.

"Eternal sleep I fear." Said Zecora "You'll only see her once a year."

Pinkie Pie then began to tear up. "Will only see her once a year? That will take forever!"

A furious look comes across Tunderlane's face. "I can't not let this happen!" He quickly stormed out of Zecora's hut.

"Thunder!" Said flash flying after him "Where are you going!?"

"To find this Count and put an end to him permanently!"

"You can't do that alone!" Said Soarin fallowing behind.

"I don't have a choice!" Said Thunderlane

"Oh yeas you do!" Said Twilight Sparkle fallowed by the others. "We're all Futtershy's friends and that's why we're going to take down this Count Blood fang together!"

"Let go kick some vampire flank!" Shouted Rainbow Dash

The ponies and Spike trotted thought the darkness parts of the Everfree frost. Twilight was carrying a snarling Flutterbat in her bubble.

"Uhhh," Spike said his teeth chattering, "Are we sure this is the right direction?"

"According to my research," Twilight Sparkle spoke up, "This is direction of the Castle of the Two Sisters, where Count Blood Fang was last known to reside."

"I'm not saying I believe in Vampire Ponies," Applejack piped in nervously, "but assumin' this feller is real, shouldn't we have some sort of plan to take him on."

Rainbow Dash smiled, "I already have a plan.. Take him down!"

"Oh yeah," said Soarin rolling his eyes, "because that pan worked so well for you in the past.."

"Besides," said Spike, "How are we supposed to avoid his hypnotic vampire eyes!"

"Wait," said Rainbow her tune changing, "he has hypnotic vampire eyes?"

"Not to mention he has razor sharp fangs," Spike continued.

"He does?" Rainbow asked nervously.

"And he can fly up to a hundred miles per hour," Spike stated.

"He can?" said Rainbow her teeth chattering.

"Look!" cried Pinkie Pie.

"Yeeeaaaggghhh!" screamed both Rainbow Dash and Spike, holding each other in pure terror.

The ponies turned to see a tall crooked castle hanging over the edge of a cliff. Only a single light could be seen from it, in the highest room of the tallest tower.

"Count Blood Fang is in that ghastly thing?" cried Rarity. "How are we supposed to find him them in there?"

"Esp-p-p-pecially without looking at his eyes," whimpered Rainbow Dash.

"Hmmm," thought Thunderlane, "I have an idea!"

Inside the castle off the two sister the ponies crape around the the crumbling halls of the place that's had once been elegant it clearly seen better days.

Rainbow Dash and Spike were still shivering.

"G-g-g-guys." Said Rainbow Dash "W-w-w-what if something pooped out at us?"

"Rainbow Dash!" Shouted Pinkie Pie.

"Yahhh!" Rainbow Dash scream holding Soarin tightly.

"Oh Dashes." Said Pinkie smiling. "No pony is going to jump out at of you. We're the only ponies here."

"Welcome ponies." Said a voice behind Pinkie Pie.

"EEk!" Shouted Pinkie leaping into Spike's arms

The ponies turn to see and elderly donkey in a hooded clock stand before them.

"I am Bray." Said Donkey said Slyly. "My master has been expecting you. Come I take you to your fate."

Rainbow took a look at Soarin who was giving a sly smile. She immediately broke from the hug and charge at Bray "No!" She said while pointing a accusing hoof. "We are not going any where with you! We gonna find your "master" and then we're going to kick his flank for what he did to Fluttershy!"

"Oh really?" Said Bray "And how are you going to do that with out the secret passage?"

"What secret passage?" said Twilight.

With a wicked smile Bray pulled a near by leaver and the floor dropped beneath the ponies. The mare stallions, and Spike screamed as the fell down words all of a sudden change directions and began falling up words. The ponies when higher and higher as the reach to the high room of the tallest tower a door open and they all crash onto the floors on the anti chambers.

"I have now idea how that happened." Said Twilight

"Uh Is everypony okay?" Asked Applejack.

"Ug think so." Said Spike.

"Wait!" Said Thunderlane "We're Fluttershy!?"

The ponies looked in horror to find Fluttershy was nowhere to be seen.

"Looking for somepony?" A voice cried out.

The ponies looked up wards and saw Fluttershy hang from the ceiling along side this sinister Count Blood fang. The two bat ponies flew down from above and stood before the group.

"Oh nice." Said the count "More servants to join me and my queen. I get so lonely in this castle all by my self."

"Wait." Said Pinkie said "What about that Bray guy?"

The count winced "His alright but his not some pony to sit down and have a meal with."

Then Thunderlane rages voice said "How about I give you a hoof sandwich!"

Then the count said "Oh a such brave words coming from such a puny pony. Fluttershy my dear will you take care of this cretin for me?"

Flutterbat flew up and charge at Thunderlane her fangs bear. Thunderlane wrestled the mare to the ground trying to claim her down and he said "Easy Fluttershy we're you're friends remember!"

"She don't not need her friends any more." Said the count "She has her beloved count to protect her!"

"Protect her!?" Cried Thunderlane "Your called turning her into a vampire pony protecting her?"

"Ha!" Said the Count "Before she meet me she was afraid of everything! Now that she is a pony of the night she'll never be afraid again!"

"There's one problem being a night pony." said ThunderLane "You don't get enough daylight. Twilight now!"

Twilight Sparkle let out a bright beam of thought out the chamber.

"The light!" Shouted the count "I'm blind!"

"Now everypony!" Thunderlane shouted

Rainbow Dash and Soarin got up behind the count and tie a blind fold over his eyes.

"Wait what are you doing?" Shouted the count.

"Charge!" Applejack cried, she and Troubleshoes headed for the count and began pushing him to his coffin.

"My love!" Shouted the count "Protect me!"

Flutterbat's eyes open wide and she leaped towards Rainbow and Soarin.

"Look into my eyes!" Said Flutterbat

Soarin and Rainbow Dash became daze and confused the they quickly released the count who pushed Applejack and Troubleshoes with the sliest of ease. His eyes now free he proceeded to hypnotize the rest of the ponies only Thunderlane remands.

"Hahahaha!" lough the count "You though you could defeated me? the prince of darkness! My reign is eternal."

Thunderlane's eyes darted out of about the room finally they focus on Flutterbat.

"Fluttershy you can resist him! I know you can! you the strongest willed pony I know!" Thunderlane shouted "That's why I...Care about you!"

All of a sudden Fluttershy's expression changed she turn to the count growled at him and said "Look here mister who in Equestria you think you are!?"

"What!?" Said the count.

Fluttershy flew down before him. "Going around Equestria and turning ponies into vampires. I have a mind to go find you're mother and tell her what you've been up to!"

"My mother has been dead for centuries!" said the count trying to back away.

"That still doesn't excuse your action!" Fluttershy pushing him backwards. "I don't care if you are the last of you're kind! Turning ponies into vampires is not very nice! And frankly I'm not going to stand for it!"

The Count continued to back away quickly becoming frightened, "But Fluttershy, I thought we had something special?!"

"Yes it's true that I don't like Nightmare Night," continued Fluttershy backing the count against his coffin, "and I'm guessing neither do you! But does not mean that you can turn anypony you want into a vampire, even if you are only allowed out one night a year."

The Count was dumbfounded, "I.. I am the Prince of the Night! You cannot talk to me this way!"

Fluttershy glared, "Well the night is over!"

"Huh?" The Count looked behind him and saw the sun beginning to rise through the window, "Aaaaggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

The count quickly leapt into his coffin and shut it tightly behind him before the suns rays could hit him.

As sunlight filled the room, the ponies and Spike suddenly broke out of there trance.

"Huh, what?" said Twilight.

At the center of the room Fluttershy became encased in bright flash of light. When it vanished she was back to normal.

"Fluttershy!" Rainbow Dash cried.

Everypony in the room gathered around Fluttershy and began hugging and squeezing her. All except for Thunderlane who simply stood back and smiled.

"Don't you ever do that to us again Sugar Cube," Applejack teared up.

"Yeah," said Soarin, "we thought that you'd be a vampire pony forever."

"And, that we'd only get to see you once a year!" cried Pinkie Pie streams of tears pouring out of her eyes.

"Alright, alright," said Fluttershy backing away from the group. I'm sorry everypony, I didn't mean to ruin you're nightmare night.."

"Are you kidding," shouted Rainbow Dash, "This was the best Nightmare Night Ever!"

"It certainly was exciting," chimed in Rarity.

"Except for the part with the giant hole in my blimp," Trenderhoof growled.

"Don't worry," said Twilight, "the castle will pay you back for it."

"Aw man that was awesome!" said Spike. "Vampire ponies! Curses! I can't wait till next year! Hey where's ThunderLane..?"

Everypony in the room turned to see that Thunderlane had disappeared.

Outside of the Castle of the Two Sisters, Thunderlane slowly trotted away.

"Um, excuse me," a soft voice spoke up from behind.

Thunderlane turned to see Fluttershy flying down towards him.

"I just wanted to thank you for the nice words you said to me..," Fluttery said, "Did you really mean that?

"Of course," said Thunderlane, "You've always been one of the courageous ponies I've ever met."

Fluttershy blushed, "That's a very nice costume you're wearing Thunderlane.."

"Oh this isn't a costume," Thunderlane stated, "this is my Uniform. I don't really believe in Nightmare Night."

Family quest part 1

Family quest part 1

In deep of a jungle a young pegasus with a broken wing was running for his life. He didn't know what he was running from be he knew he had to escape from behind him a loud roar can be herd as he ran faster and faster he suddenly came to a cliff at the edge of the jungle down below is the open sea. He froze up terrified be on belief then turn back to back to hear the roaring sound behind him. Realizing he had no choice the young foal took a deep breath and leap towers the water below.

"Yeahhhhaaaa!"

"Would you keep it down!" Shouted Soarin throwing a pillow at Flash.

Flash awoke to find he was in the castle barracks with Cheese and Soarin.

"Honestly." Said Soarin "We got petrol duty tomorrow."

"Ugh Sorry Soarin." Said Flash sinking back in his cot. "I was just having that dream again."

"Oh!" Said said Cheese looking down from the bunch above him. "Isn't that dream when you forgot all the answers for your math test?"

"No." Said Flash annoyed "It the dream that I can't remember."

The next day Flash and Soarin were guarding the west castle entice Flash was still pretty tired from last night gave off a large yawn.

"Senty on there solider!" A voice cried out it was Thunderlane walking to them. "We don't anypony falling asleep on duty."

"Um I'm sorry Thunderlane." Said Flash "Just had a hard time sleeping last night."

"You had a hard time sleeping!" Said Soarin black circles around his eyes. "What about me?! I'm the one you keep awake at night!"

"Yeah sorry." Said Flash

"Well if problems you can always speak to Luna about it." Said Thunderlane

"Yeah." Said Flash "Rubbing his eyes I don't think it's that kind of problem."

"Watch out!" A young voice cried out.

A ball came flying thought the air and hit Flash in the face. "Ow!"

Three young fillies came running up to catch the ball.

"Oops." Said AppleBloom "Sorry about that Flash."

"Applebloom Sweetie Belle Scootaloo." Said Thunderlane "I thought I told you not to ply ball around the castle gates."

"We know." Said Scootaloo "But we were just trying out this new ball my aunts gave me."

"Well." Said Thunderlane "I'll be sure to tell both about the trouble you cased."

"Aw come on Thunderlane." Flash said to him "Cut them some slake their just kids."

"Alright." Said Thunderlane "But you three better fallow orders next time."

"Yes Thunderlane." The Crusaders said in unison.

Scootaloo then turn to Flash and said "Thanks for covering for us."

"No problem." Said Flash

"Scootaloo." Said Sweetie Belle "I got your back pack right here."

"Thanks Sweetie Belle." Said Scootaloo putting the ball in back inside of it.

As she open the back pack flash notices a familiar symbol on it. It was small compass sitting along side of a map.

Suddenly his head began to hurt.

"You alright Flash?" Applebloom said looking at him confused.

"Yeah." Said flash "Just a small headache."

Later that night Flash was once again tossing and turning in his bunk once again. In his dream he was a small colt again sailing on a woodened raff. A terrible storm was brewing rock his boat back and forth as he struggle to stay a float a massive figure began to rise from the waves. There was a brilliant flash of light and then suddenly a pony floated down before him.

"Princess Luna!" The young colt cried.

"Flash Sentry!" Luna proclaim using a royal vice. "I have watch over you nightmares and have fell the pain."

"Pain?" Said Flash "What pain?"

"I see you truly have forgotten the past." Said Luna

"What past?"

"If you wish to regain what has be lost you must no longer deny what your dreams been have been telling you." Said Luna "Fallow your path and you will not be the only one who will regain what was lost."

"Wait!" Said Flash "What do you mean lost!? What are you talking about!?"

Flash Sentry awake in a cold sweat more confused then ever.

The next morning Flash Sentry was in the kitchen sleeping in his cereal.

"Um...Flash." A voice spoke up.

"Ah what? what is it!?" Shouted Flash he then turn to see Twilight Sparkle standing behind him confused.

"Is there an easer way to eat you breakfast?" Aske Twilight

"Ho...huh." Said Flash embarrassed. "The thing is I was just recovering from scary nightmare."

"A nightmare?" Said Twilight "Have you try talking to Luna?"

"She alright showed up." Flash said

"Wait a minute!" Said Twilight "You mean Luna visit you in your dreams?"

"Yeah." Said Flash "You can say that."

"Well this is incredible!" said Twilight "From what I heard when Luna visit you in a dream it suppose to be major even it about to change in your life."

"Well that's great." Said Flash "But what kind of change are we talking about here?"

"Oh it can be some big, something small usually solve a problem that your having." Said Twilight

"The only problem I have." said Flash Is that I can't sleep at night with this stupid nightmare."

"Your having a nightmare?" Said Twilight excited "That's incredible it might be the reason Luna is visiting you."

"That's great." Said Flash sarcastically "but how do I get it to stop?"

"Ummm..." Said Twilight "Maybe we need to consult an expert."

Deep with in the Eeverfree frost Flash Sentry and Twilight were visiting Zecroa's hut.

"Ummm.." Said Zecroa looking at flash at the center of the room. "Describe this dream that hounds your nights and I will find why it bring you fright."

"Well." Said Flash leaning in his chair. "Every night it's the same thing. I'm running thought a jungle or the ocean or some hidden temple and there's something coming after me the only problem is that I don't know what it is."

Zecroa starch her chine in curiosity. "Describe what started this affair did something made this dream appear?"

"Well..."Flash thought to himself "I think it all when it started when we got back from that convention."

"Really?" Said Twilight "What happen?"

"It had something to do with that book you gave me?" Said Flash "There was something about thought ponies on the cover I could have soared I've seen them somewhere before."

"How is that possible?" Said Twilight "I thought you sept you whole foal-hood in templon.

"Actually." Said Flash looking embarrassed "Iv never told you this before but I don't remember much about my foal-hood."

"What!?" shouted Twilight jumping out of her sit.

"I remember meeting Cheese and Soarin and then nothing." Said Flash

"Why didn't you ever tell me this before?" Asked Twilight

"Well it just never came up." Said Flash

"Umm..." Said Zecora in deep contemplation. "Memories lost can often be found. Did anything else bring these dreams around?"

"No." Said Flash "Well except there was one thing."

"What?" Said Twilight

"Oh it was nothing." Said Flash "It was just this old back pack that Scootaloo hade. I could swear that I've seen it somewhere before but that's ridiculous right."

Twilight and Zecroa looked at Flash cursedly.

"It's is ridiculous right?" Asked Flash

"This is ridiculous!" Said Flash as he and Twilight were trotting down in the Templon.

"I barely know Scootaloo's family and now I'm going to bug them about something that's none of theirs business."

"This is the only clue we have." Said Twilight "Who knows something about those ponies and that symbol."

Flash and Twilight came up a small cottage squashed between two buildings.

"We should really go." Said Flash "There no need to bother them with this."

Then Twilight "Oh no you don't." She used her magic pull his tail. "You're going to talk to these ponies weather you like it or not."

Twilight gave a large knock on the door.

Then much to Flash spires Tender Tapes open the door.

"Hi Tender Tapes is your sister home?" Twilight asked

"Oh she's." Said Tender

"Gang way!" A voice interrupt with in the house.

"Scootaloo Get back here." Shouted and orange earth pony.

"Not again." Said Tender Tapes

Twilight and Flash entered the house and seeing the living room in shambles.

"Ooooohhh!" Shouted Scootaloo riding down the banister on her scooter.

"Scootaloo you know your not suppose to ride your scooter in the house!" Shouted a young orange colt chasing her down.

Scootaloo looked back at the young colt and said "Come on Frist base don't be such a Stink in a Muuuuud!" Scootaloo flew off the edge and up in to the air.

Twilight sparkle horn began to glow and she just barely got the filly.

"Oh hi Twilight, hi Flash." Said Scootaloo.

"Scootaloo." Said Twilight "Do your aunts know that you behaving like this?"

Then the little pegasus blushed and said "Oh um...We'll they might not be in right now."

"Umm..."Said Twilight giving her a look.

"Go easy on her Twilight." Flash spoke up putting a hoof on her shoulder. He then turn to Scootaloo and said "We are just here to ask you some questions."

Twilight sparkle then levitated the filly down.

"What is it you need to know?" Asked Scootaloo.

"Well the thing is." Flash said "We kinda wanted to know about that back pack of yours."

"Oh you mean the old back Scootaloo needed because she broke her last one and needed to use our parents." Said Tender Tapes.

"Wait you took our parents back pack!?" Said Frist Base who turn to Scootaloo.

"What aunt Holiday and aunt Loofty said it was okay." said Scoot

"That's not the point!" said Frist Base "That back pack is the only thing we have to remember our parents by."

"I told you before." Scootaloo yelled back "Their coming back!"

"No there not!" Said Frist Base "When are you going to except that!?"

"Ummm guys." Said Tender Tapes nervously. "We have guess."

"Stay out of this Tender!" Both of them shouted.

Tender Tapes snig and looked to both Flash and Twilight. "This happens every week."

Then Flash jumped between the two and said "Alright that's enough! There is no need to argue about this!"

The two foals look at each other and then trotted of in opposite directions.

Tender Tapes looked to Twilight. "I'm really sorry about that, they been like that for as long as I can remember."

"I didn't realized that you and Scootaloo were brother and sister." Said Flash

"Well we both what purple manes and orange coats we though that was obvious." Said Tender Tapes

"Actually." Said Twilight "That doesn't necessarily prove anything. Applejack her siblings have different coats and manes and their related."

"So." Said Flash "That back pack belong to you folks?"

"Yeah." Said Tender Tapes as he starting to clean up the living room. "We don't really remember them. But aunt Holiday said that they were going on a long trip and she don't know when they'll be back."

Then Twilight said "Do you think that Holiday and Lofty could tell us more about them?"

"They should." Said Tender Tapes thinking. "They should be home any minute now."

There was a large crash at the door way Twilight and Flash turn see two mares one earth and the other a pegasus standing at the door way. They brought home a bunch of groceries but of some reason they had let them all drop the floor. Both of them looked completely dumbfounded at the sight of Flash.

Finally Aunt Holiday spoke "Flash Sentry."

Flash Sentry and Twilight Sparkle were sitting in the cottage kitchen confused.

"Do you have nay idea way the send us in here?" asked Flash.

"No." Said Twilight "This is pretty unusual for them their normally not this strict."

The door swung open and the two mares entered closing it tightly behind them.

"Where Tender Tapes and the others." Asked Flash

"I send the out for a while." Lofty said "It better that they don't hear this yet."

Then Holiday spoke up and said "Flash Sentry where have you been all this time!?"

Then Flash said. "Um sorry what?"

"You do remember us don't you?" Said Lofty.

"No." said Flash "I can't say I remember ether of you."

Lofty and Holiday looked at each other confused and concerned.

Finally and a thought occurred to Lofty. She reach up in to a covered and pulled out a large photo album.

Lofty open up the book showing Flash and Twilight. "Do you remember this?"

Then Flash look at photo in shocked

"That me!" Said Flash

The photo showed a picture of himself as a colt with the two ponies from the cover of the Daring Do Book. Then three young ponies at different ages besides him.

Then Holiday said "These are Scootaloo Frist Base and Tender Tapes parents they are also your parents."

Both Twilight and Flash were struck.

"Wait!" Said Twilight "Your telling me Flash is those three older brother!?"

"Yes." Said Aunt Lofty "I'm afraid it's true."

"I don't' remember any of this!" Flash said looking at the photo. "How did this happened?"

"We were hoping you could tell us," said Holiday, "We haven't seen you or you parents in years."

"Wait wait, wait," Twilight said taking out a notepad and quill, "Let's start from the begging."

Then Lofty said "Alright to put for starters you mother and father were famous explores they use to go over all of Equestria and off to distant lands just to find rear treasures. You even when on severely of their adventures with them of course Scootaloo and the boys were much to young to go on any of them. So you aunt and I would often take care of them."

"Wait," Said Flash, "I used to go on adventures?"

"Yes," Said Holiday, "Thought I honesty didn't know what your parents were thinking. They wanted you to join in on seeing the world, eventually they would have taken the others if it wasn't for the incident."

"Incident?" Said Flash confused.

Lofty singed and turn the page of the scrap book and she now was showing Flash and his parents were going on a blimp. Lofty Holiday and the foals were waving them goodbye. "The last time we saw you, your parents were going on some short of imported mission of saddle Ariba but they never came back none of you did."

Flash looked at the image confused, "I don't remember any of this."

"We were afraid of that." Holiday said

"Flash Twilight," Said Lofty, "It's probably better off that you don't tell Scootaloo and the boys this we don't want to get their hopes up on their parents coming back."

Flash the glared at the two and said, "What? I'm not aloud to tell them that I'm their long lost older brother?! It think I have right to see my family!"

"Flash," Twilight said trying to claim him down, "We under stand what your trying to say Lofty and until we more information it's probably best if they don't know."

Flash looked at his aunts and then to Twilight finally he singed. "Alright."

But what none of the ponies realized that Scootaloo was listing from the side with tears in her eyes.

Back at the castle kitchen Flash Sentry was chugging down a mike shake furiously.

"Uh, Flash," Said Soarin looking across the table at him, "Maybe you should slow it down a bit."

Flash just said, "I can't believe this! All this time I thought I was completely alone in this world and now that I finally found a family and they want nothing to do with me!"

Then Cheese said, "Join the club I can't even remember the last time I saw my family."

"Cheese you don't have a family," Said Soarin.

"That's what I'm saying," Said Cheese.

"The worst part of all is," Said Flash, "Is that Twilight just wants me to sit back and be patient! Like the answers I've been looking for are just going to appear in tin air."

"Oh really." Said a voice calling out behind him. Flash turn to see Twilight and the rest of the mane six standing behind him.

"Twilight I didn't mean..." Flash said

"It's okay Flash." Said Twilight "I under stand that your frustrated, that way everypony and I have been discussing a plan."

"We think," Said Applejack, "That last place you saw you parents we in saddle Ariba, we all should take a trip over there and try to figure out what happened to them."

"We already spoke with TrenderHoof and Troubleshoes and they are more then happy to take us on their ship," Said Rarity

"And because we are all best friends we should be going together!" Said Pinkie Pie

Flash face suddenly lit up and then the said "I forgot how great you guys are!" He then hugged all his friends at once.

At the air felid.

"All ponies adored!" Shouted Spike "Next stop saddle Ariba!"

The mane six slowing loaded on to the ship where TrenderHoof and Troubleshoes were all ready waiting for them.

"All aboard ladies!" Said TrenderHoof with smile "Welcome to the SS TrenderHoof."

"Ahem!" TroubleShoes coughed.

"Oh all right and Troubleshoes," Said TrenderHoof.

"Thanks for joining me guys," Flash said boarding the ship.

"No problem pal," Said Soarin, "After all we're pals."

"Friends till the end even after then!" Cheese said

"Personally," Said Thunderlane coming up behind them, "I'm just here to keep you all out of trouble."

"Aw come on," Said Soarin "What kind of trouble could we possible get in to."

None of them seem to notice three small ponies sinking up on to the ship.

Frist Base said, "This is a bad idea guys, we are going to get in a lot of trouble if Aunt Holiday and Lofty find out."

"I told you," Said Scootaloo "this our chance to finally find out about our parents."

"Are you sure you hear Aunt Holiday and Lofty right?" said Tender Taps

"Yeah," Said Frist "Sounds like one of your crazy stories to me."

"I'm telling you," Scootaloo, "It's the truth"

The blimp sails off thought the skies of Equestria Flash lean over the side of the ship looking at the book cover with his parents on it.

"Um Flash," Said Twilight coming up behind him," Are you alright?"

Then Flash said, "It just I want to know why my parents disappeared. Are they okay did they abandon me? Did they abandon the others too?"

"Well," Said Twilight trying to claim him down, "We know that this is them on the cover of the Daring do book maybe if we under stand the plot of this story we can figure out what they were doing here."

Scootaloo listen in on from behind a near by barrel neither Flash nor Twilight notices her.

"Let see," Twilight said opening the book, "If I recall correctly Daring Do was in saddle Ariba looking for the gates to Tartarus."

"That's right," Said Flash, "But Doctor Caballeron was looking for it too."

"And when they got there," Said Twilight, "They found that Ahuizotl was trying to open the gate but he couldn't because he didn't have the key?"

"Right," Said Flash, "But did they ever find the key?"

"No," Said Twilight, "The book ended on a cliff hanger. The temple where the gates to Tartarus where collapse with Ahuizotl inside of it."

"And wasn't he trying to turn Daring do to stone?" Said Flash

"Our parents were turn to stone!?" Shouted a voice

Twilight and Flash looked over to the barrel, Twilight levitated the barrel with her horn reveling Scootaloo behind.

"Uh...Hey guys," Scootaloo smiled sheeplsiy, "How's it going?"

"Scootaloo!" Said Twilight said, "Did you sneak up on this ship without us knowing!?"

"Uuuhhh," Said Scootaloo, "Maybe."

"Scootaloo," Said Twilight, "Just think about how worried your brother must be right now?"

"Achoo!" Sneezed a small mouth behind the another barrel.

Then Flash rolled his eyes and said, "Okay boys come on out we know your there."

Then Tender Tapes and Frist Base came out from behind the barrels.

"Hum hey guys," Said Tender Tapes, "How's it going?"

The two boys join their sister as Twilight re gain her bluster.

"Just what do you three think your doing here?" Said Twilight.

"Same thing you are," Said Scootaloo, "Looking for our parents

"Wait how did you know about that?" asked Flash.

"Aunt Lofty's kitchen isn't sound proof," Said Scootaloo.

"So you over heard everything," Said Flash.

"Yep," Smiled Scootaloo, "And we here to help you find our parents."

"Personally," Said First Base, "I'm just here to keep these two out of trouble."

Twilight then groaned and said, "Now we have to turn this ship around."

"Aw come on Twilight," said Flash, "They just want to find out the same thing we do and we can always have spike watch over them."

"NoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNo!" Spike ran up to Flash and Twilight.

"WhyWhyWhyWhyWhyWhyWhyWhyWhyWhyWhyWhyWhyWhyWhy!?" He gestures toward Twilight.

"YouYouYouYouYouYouYouYouYouYouYouYouYouYouYou!" He pointed at Scootaloo with distain.

Spike then stormed off fuming at the ears. "Well at least he took it well," said Flash.

Later on deck, Tender Taps was bugging TrenderHoof and Troubleshoes about the controls on the ship, while Frist was trying to keep his younger brother under control.

"So what does this do?" Said Tender

"Don't touch that!" said Frist Base. "You don't know how any thing on this ship works!"

"I'm just asking a question," Said Tender Taps.

"Question leads to touching," Said Frist, "And touching leads to danger!"

Spike groan as the two boys continued to argue.

Meanwhile Scootaloo looked over to Flash still looking over the edge of the ship.

"So..." said Scootaloo, "You're my older brother?"

"What?" Said Flash turning, "On...well...no...um...yes...um...possible."

"Well this is great," Said Scootaloo snuggling up to Flash, "I all ways wanted a big sister." She pointed at Rainbow Dash snoozing in the sails, "And now i have a big brother too!"

Then Flash said, "Don't you have two big brothers?"

"Huh." Said Scootaloo looking annoyed "Their alright."

Flash then said "What's wrong with them."

"Nothing," Said Scootaloo, "Except Frist Base is always bossing me around and Tender Tapes just stands there and try stay in the middle."

Then Flash said "Well they probably have your best interest at heart."

"Yeah." Said Scootaloo "But everything will be different when we find our parents again."

A look came across Flash face. "Look Scootaloo I'm not really sure we are going to find our parents let's not get or hopes up."

"But your our brother." Said Scootaloo "And you came back."

"Yes." Said Flash "But even sure how I got lost in the first place."

"Well what ever it is we'll find out together." said Scootaloo

"Yes." said Flash with a small smile "I suppose we will."

"Attention Ponies!" Shouted TrenderHoof "We are now approaching Saddle Ariba!"

Flash and Scootaloo looked down and saw a large city of mud and clay standing besides a large river and palm trees. The blimp slowly settle down by the river and the mane six and stallion paepae to disembark.

"Um Spike." Said Twilight "Way don't you stay and look after those three."

"Way do I always get the tuff jobs." Said Spike

"Don't Worry Spike." Said Flash "You'll have Frist helping you out."

The mane six and Stallions entered the streets Saddle Ariba the ponies there were much taller and prouder looking.

"Be careful you guys." Said Twilight "Saddle Ariba is out side of Equestria's borders so there's no telling what's waiting for us out here."

Then Flash said "Got it Twi. But what exactly?"

"Well..." Said Twilight looking at the Daring Do book. "According to this we are supposed to be looking a tavern and somepony named Fazah Fazim."

"Uh...Twilight." Said Rainbow Dash "I don't think you need to take the book literally."

"Did you say Fazah Fazim?" A passing pony spoke up. "You can find him at the Anubis Oasis."

"Well what do you know." Said Pinkie Pie

The ponies approach a large tavern draped in palm trees inside was stood many sat many rough looking ponies many of whom appeared to be from Equestria. At the back of the tavern stood a large waterfall with a bare in front of it. A stout tin pony in a fizz stood behind it cleaning a glass.

"Welcome Ponies!" He said in a friendly voice as the mares and stallions approach the bare. "How can I help you today?"

"Um..." Flash looked at the bartender nervously finally Twilight nudged him. "Have you ever heard of two ponies called Snap Shutter and Mane Allgood?"

All the ponies in the bare suddenly gasp.

"Um..." Said Fazah Fazim pulling his caller "Never hear of them, let me get you ponies a drink on the house."

Ponies watch as Fazah Fazim snuck off to the back.

"Huh." Said Rainbow Dash "Did anyone else find that guy suspicious?"

"I don't like this." Said Thunderlane looking around. "Most of the ponies in here look like some unsavory characters."

"Tell me about." Said TrenderHoof "I pretty sure I own money to that guy to the corner over there."

"Um..." Said Fluttershy "Maybe we should come back when this place is friendlier."

"Relax." Said Soarin "I can handle any one of these punks mono a mono."

The Rainbow said "Me two."

"Getcha!" Said a minotaur grabbing both Rainbow Dash and Soarin.

"We're in trouble." Said Soarin'

"So..." Said a scruffy looking pony approaching them "Looking for Snap Shutter and Mane Allgood huh? throw these ponies back out on the streets."

"Escaped for that guy!" Said another pony "He owes me money!"

"I knew it!" TrenderHoof

Then a diamond dog leapt atop of Applejack.

"Hold on there little doggy!" Said Applejack "You think you can take this bull by the horn you better get ready for a ride! Come everypony knock them down and knock them low." Applejack knock diamond dog off into a piano. All of a sudden the pony behind it began to play it.

As the music played Pinkie Pie and Cheese Sandwich got out there party bazookas and start firing at the crowed. Meanwhile Soarin and Rainbow Dash took the Minotaur by the arms and toss him into a table. Thunderlane and Flash when back to back pouching ponies away as they came.

Twilight and Rarity started blasting some other with their horns while Fluttershy was hiding behind them.

"Give me the money you owe me!" Shouted a pony chasing TrenderHoof.

TroubleShoes slammed a large barrel on his head.

"Stop!" A voice cried all the ponies in the room turn to the entice standing in the door way was a greasy mane stallion in a cargo shirt and bandana and a wicked smirk spared across his five clock shadow. "So you ponies are looking for my old friends, well it just so happens i have a few friends of yours."

Two bulky looking ponies came in carrying Spike Scootaloo, Frist Base, and Tender Taps. The mares and Stallions were terrified by what they saw.

"Who do you think you are?" Flash shouted.

"My apologies," said the Stallion, "Allow me to introduce myself. I am Dr. Cabelleron!"

To Be Continued

The Wonderbolts

The Wonderbolts

High above Tambelon a pegasus tosses down flyers which gently float down to the citizen below, and many ponies are trilled when they read them. One such pony, a blue pegasus with a rainbow mane snoozes soundly on the branch of a tree when suddenly a flyer falls directly on her face.

"Huh! What? Who? How?!" Rainbow Dash removed the peace of paper from her eyes and began to read it. As she reads a look of excitement slowly grows larger and larger across her face. "Soarin!" She cried leaping up into the air.

Rainbow Dash quickly soared through Tambelon in search for her friend.

Meanwhile Soarin stood on guard at the western point of the castle when he suddenly heard a familiar cry in the distance. "Soarin!" The voice grew louder, until suddenly Rainbow tackled Soarin to the ground. Pieces of armor fly everywhere as the pegasus pins her friend to the ground. "Soarin take a look at this!" RD held out the flyer in Soarin's face. It read..

Open audition for the Wonderbolts

one weekend only!"

"Can you believe it!?" cried Rainbow Dash as she picked up Soarin and hugged him tightly.

Soarin's eyes grew wide as while and then he shouted "Alright! Next stop Cloudsdale!"

The very next day Twilight, Spike, Fluttershy, Rarity, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Flash, Cheese, Thunderlane, TrenderHoof, and Troubleshoes along with the CMCs, Soarin and Rainbow Dash were riding a dirigible to Cloudsdale.

Then Scootaloo cried "I can't believe Rainbow Dash is about to become a Wonderbolt!"

"I know kid!" Said Rainbow hugging Scootaloo tightly, "It's a dream come true!"

"Know then let's not get a head of our selves," Said Rarity, Spike tending to her bags. "Technically she and Soarin are only auditing for the Wonderbolts Reserves."

"That right Sugar Cube," Applejack chimed in, brushing Applebloom's hair. "First they got to compete with all them other ponies trying to become Wonderbolts."

Rainbow sighed, "Thanks for bringing down the mood guys."

Then Twilight spoke up "Now Rainbow we all have faith in you we just don't want you and Soarin to get your hopes up to soon."

"That's right," Said Flash. "After all, almost every pegasus in Equestria is going to be trying out today."

"Yeah!" Said Soarin. "But none of those pegasi stand a chance agents this unstoppable team." Soarin and Rainbow then hoof bumped each other.

Scootaloo proclaimed, "That's one of the reasons I started the Rainbow Dash fan club!"

Soarin turned to the little filly. "Hey what about the Soarin fan club?"

Applebloom rubbed her chin for a moment and then said "I think ya'll are thinking of the Thunderlane fan club."

"What!" said Soarin as he turned and looked at a smirking Thunderlane.

"ThunderLane's little brother Rumble started that one." Sweetie Belle chimed in.

"Enough talk!" Said TroubleShoes at the wheel of the blimp. "We're almost there!"

The ponies turned to see Cloudsdale floating next to Mount Everhoof, Millions of pegasus flew to the cloudy summit no doubt trying out to become Wonderbolts.

Soarin and Rainbow Dash's eyes grew wide, until finally Soarin said "Wow that's a lot of pegasi!"

"Well you guys better get in line." TrenderHoof said to RD and Soarin. "Troubleshoes and I will park the dirigible."

"Oh TrenderHoof," said Rarity cozying up to the stallion, "That's so considerate of you!" Spike groaned at the sight of this.

"Wait a minute!" Said Flash. "How come you guys get to park the blimp!?"

"It our ship." Said TrenderHoof matter of franticly.

"I thought this was Don Grif'aun's ship." Said Cheese.

"Yes but we confiscated fairly and squarely." TrenderHoof then said.

Then Flash thought it over for a minute and then said "Well I guess you have a point. But didn't we all steal together."

"Uh!" Said TrenderHoof. "You guys live in a castle what more could you possible want?"

Flash rolled his eyes and said "Come on every pony lets go."

With a Flash of Twilight's horn the ponies were instantly transported to the Cloudsdale Coliseum.

Then RD said "Wait a minute! How are you guys walking on clouds!?" She looked over to the non-pegasus members of the group.

Applejack smiled "Twilight put a cloud walking spell on all of us."

Then Spike smiled confinity "Yeah, you'd be amazed what kind of spells Twilight can cooked up."

Flash Sentry looked at the princess amazed, "That awesome! your awesome!" Twilight Sparkle blushed at the compliment.

But then Soarin coughed in to his hoof. "Tone it down (cough) Bro!"

Flash just gave him a glare.

"Well anyway!" Said Rainbow. "Let's get in line for the...(Gasp)!" Rainbow turn to see a seemly endless maze of pegasi lined up to enter the coliseum.

"Who are all these ponies!?" She cried out in desperation.

"Isn't this great!" Said Pinkie Pie pulling all her friends close to her. "This line could go on forever and ever and ever and ever! We can have a great big campout right here in the middle of Cloudsdale! Singing songs, roasting marshmallows.."

Meanwhile back on the blimp TrenderHoof and TroubleShoes were looking for a parking place.

"Huh." Said Troubleshoes looking at the large number of ships parked on the clouds. "You know for city full of ponies that can literally fly, you would have think they wouldn't have a need for air ships up here."

Then Troubleshoes said, "Right now I'm wishing we could have joined Flash and the others."

"Oh relax." Said Trenderhoof. "I'm sure we'll find a park spot any minute now."

Back at the line Pinkie Pie and Cheese Sandwich had set up a series of tent. The Crusaders, Applejack, and Rarity were roasting marshmallows at a roaring bonfire. As for Rainbow Dash and Soarin, they sat waiting impatiently for the line to get going.

"Well this this just great!" Said Rainbow. "How long have we been waiting in line anyway!?"

"5 hours 36 minutes" Twilight replied, Spike snoozing on her back as she read a book.

"Relax." Said Soarin putting a hoof across Rainbow Dash. "We waited our whole lives to become Wonderbolts we can wait a couple more hours."

Rainbow rolled her eyes as the line moved onwards at a exceedingly slow pace.

"There's our Rainbow!" a voice shouted out to the ponies.

Rainbow's eyes grew wide as saucers. "Oh no!"

They all turn to see a large stallion with a rainbow mane and light blue mare.

"Rainbow we here hoping you'd be here!" The large stallion proclaimed proudly.

Soarin looked puzzled and said "Uh, Rainbow who are these ponies?"

"My parents.." Rainbow groaned.

"What!?" Said Scootaloo in amazement. She zoomed right up to the two pegasi, "Mr. and Mrs. Rainbow Dash I'm your daughter's biggest fan!"

Bow Hothoof stared at the little filly, "Well that's impossible kid because we're Rainbow Dash's biggest fan!" He then open his jacket reveling a picture of Rainbow Dash on it.

A coy smile suddenly crossed Soarin's face "This is the happiest day in my entire life."

Rainbow Dash groaned.

"What brings you here?" Fluttershy asked Rd's parents.

"Well." Said Windy Whistle. "All of Cloudsdale are having open try outs today so of course we knew that our super star Rainbow Dash would be the first in line!"

"Mom not in front of my friends," groaned Rainbow.

"Oh by the way Fluttershy, we invited your family too." Said Windy.

A nervous look suddenly cross Fluttershy's face. "Oh you didn't invited my entire family did you?"

Then Windy said "Thankfully no."

Then Flash whispers over to Thunderlane "What does that mean?"

Then Thunderlane said "Let's just say Fluttershy's brother can be difficult."

Mr. and Mrs. Shy approached the group.

"Oh hello every pony." Mt. Shy replied quietly. "We brought cucumber sandwiches."

"Yeah! Now it's a cucumber party!" Pinkie Pie shouted.

As Cheese Sandwich music began to play Rainbow Dash slumped down to the ground, "Can this line get any slower?"

Back at the blimp, Trenderhoof was quickly becoming irritated. "We circled around this entire cloud formation seven times! How is possible we haven found a parking space!"

"Wait." Said Troubleshoes in a claiming voice. "There's an open space over there."

All of a sudden a whooshing sound filled the air, as a magical blue police box appeared in the spot. A brown stallion with a tie and a hour glass cutie mark exited the box.

"You see I told you I could get us to Cloudsdale on time," The Doctor said.

"With only a small detour to medieval Equestria," Giggled a grey derpy eyes pony following behind.

TroubleShoes and TrenderHoof looked dumbfounded .

"Forty-nine barrels of Oats on the wall! Forty-nine barrels of Oats!"

Pinkie pie strummed away on a guitar, while cheese played a tambourine. The Crusaders, Apple Jack, Rarity, and Spike moved to the beat, while Fluttershy's parents passed out sandwiches.

Rainbow Dash groaned, caught between her parents and a snoozing Soarin.

"So Rainbow," said Bow Hothoof placing a hoof around his daughter, "Are you going to introduce us to your boyfriend?"

"WHAAAAAAAAT!" Rainbow shouted leaping up into the air.

"Rainbow." Twilight nudged RD from behind.

"Huh! What Are we there yet!?" Rainbow said

"Actually Yes!" Twilight proclaimed as she showed her the entice to the stadium.

A huge smile crept across Rainbow's face. She then shouted Soarin's ear. "Soarin we here!"

Soarin woke up and shouted. "WA! I'm awake I'm awake, I'm awake!"

The two pegasus rushed inside of the stadium where they saw numerous pegasus soaring through hoops racing down tracks and bumping weights.

"So," an orange pegasus with a flaming mane wearing sun glasses and a uniform appeared behind them, "You two think you got what it takes to be Wonderbolts?"

Rainbow Dash's eyes lit up. "Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh! Oh my Gosh!"

Then Soarin said "Your Spitfire! Yes we absolutely think we have what it takes to become Wonderbolts!"

"Wrong!" Spitfire shouted at the both of them. "If you had what it takes to become a Wonderbolt you two would already be ones!"

"Yeeee.." Soarin chattered hiding behind Rainbow Dash.

Then Rainbow Dash said "Just give us a chance ma'am we possible can to prove our selves."

"Oh you will," Said Spitfire darkly, "You will."

Up in the stands Twilight and the others watched nervously as Rainbow Dash and Soarin struggled to keep up with their training.

"Move those hooves soldiers keep it in line! Keep it in line! Keep it in line!" Shouted Spitfire.

Soarin struggled desperately to keep up with Spitfire instructions.

"They really seem to be struggling," whimpered Fluttershy as she watched Soarin trip.

"Don't worry," Scootaloo chimed in, "Rainbow Dash has got this, and Soarin too!"

"Where is Rainbow Dash anyhow?" asked Applejack.

"Take a look," said Flash pointing upwards.

High up above the stadium, Rainbow Dash flew thought a series of cloud rings confidently.

"Alright Rainbow Dash, Woohoo!" shouted Spike waving a flag.

"Impressive moves cadet" Spitfire looked up at Rainbow Dash with a smile. "Let's see how you do when we kick things up a notch!"

Spitfire clopped her hoof on the ground. All of a sudden the rings of clouds began to grow darker. Soon sparks of electricity could be seen flying in between them.

Rainbow suddenly became quite nervous. Biting her lip she began to soar in between the rings, being exceptionally careful not to touch the edges of them.

A cocky smile crossed Spitfire's face, "Very impressive.. Let's try kicking it up another notch."

Spitfire clopped her hooves on the ground again, causing the rings to begin rotating back and forth.

Rainbow Dash had to be exceptionally careful to make it into each ring. She swooped back and forth through the air, barely making it into each one. Just when it looked like she was about to make it into the final one..

"Zzzaaaaaapp! crackle crackle"

A bolt of lighting struck Rainbow Dash right in the wings. She floated in place for a moment, stunned, and then began to spiral down towards stadium below.

Twilight and the other ponies watched in suspense as their friend crashed down directly in front of Spitfire.

"Uhhhhhhhgh.." Rainbow Dash groaned lying in a pile on the clouds

"Nice one honey!" Windy Whistle proclaimed Happily!

"Nopony makes a crash landing like you do sweetheart!" Bow Hothoof proclaimed!

"Where is Trenderhoof," Rarity huffed to the others, "He should be here supporting Rainbow Dash and Soarin."

Back at the air ship TrenderHoof eye was beginning to twitch.

"Uh buddy." Troubleshoes asked "Maybe you should take a break for a while."

"No!" Said TrenderHoof at his wits end. "That space is out there! It's crafty, it's cleaver but it's out there I can sense it!"

"Huh yeah." TroubleShoes said "You should definitely take a break snice this place had clearly broken you."

"There it is!" Said TrenderHoof.

It was the perfect little cloud formation floating in the middle of the sky the sun almost seem to be shining upon it.

"At long last!" said TrenderHoof with a turn a wheel he set a course for the cloud formation. Just when he was about to reach it, another blimp then slams down upon it directly from above.

TrenderHoof jaw dropped "They took it.. They knew we were heading for it! And they took it!"

"Oh ho ho! What have we here!?" An arrogant and cocky voice cried out.

TrenderHoof looked forward and saw an all to familiar face.

"If it isn't my old friends!" Don Grif'aun said "TrenderHoof and TroubleShoes What do you think of my new ship? I got this when my last one was wrongfully stolen!" Don Grif'aun looked down at the two ponies below him. "Oh was this your spot?" He proclaimed as he glossed his claws across the edge of the ship. "Oh, I am so sorry. I guess you can say I stole something of value from you. Why don't you come back in a few hours and maybe we'll give it back to you..

Or we just might stay here forever!" Don Grif'aun cackled.

TrenderHoof's eye was definitely twitching now. "Troubleshoes loud the cannons."

"Huh." Trouble shoes replied "I don't think that's a good I..."

TrenderHoof then glared at him "Load the cannon!"

Troubleshoes stuttered, "But we don't even know why he's here?"

Then the pirate captain said "Oh I can tell you why I'm here.. I just like to mess with you two! Bwahahahahaha!"

Troubleshoes watched the griffin captain laugh for a few minutes and then said "Yeah let's load the cannons."

Back at the stadium both Rainbow Dash and Soarin were looking rather exhausted. They stood along side other pegasus ponies who were equally tried out.

Spitfire viewed the entire line of pegasi, with here sun glasses on it was hard to tell if she was pleased or disappointed.

Twilight and the other watch nervously from the stands. Pinkie Pie's teeth where chattering. Scootaloo looked like she was about to cry.

"Well everypony!" Spitfire finally spoke up. "You've all work hard today. But I'm afraid my decision if final. The ones joining the Wonderbolts Reserves will be..."

All of a sudden a loud explosion filled the air above them. Everypony looked up to see a massive pirate ship fleeing from another one.

"Why didn't you idiots load the cannons!?" The Don Grif'aun shouted.

"But we don't have any cannons captain!" One of the pirates said.

"What do you mean we don't have any cannons!" the Captain shouted.

"Well you told us to buy a new ship, not cannons." One of the pirates said.

"Morons!" Don Grif'aun shouted "I am surrounded by morons!"

Close behind Don Grif'aun's ship was a ship that looks all to familiar.

"Keep firing the cannon TroubleShoes!" TrenderHoof shouted "Keep firing!"

Recognizing his friends, Flash quickly flew up to them "What in Equestria are you guys doing!"

"Trust me!" TroubleShoes said "It's a long story!"

Down below the ponies in the stadium were beginning to panic.

"Wonderbolts!" Said Spitfire. "Get these ponies to safety!"

All of the sudden numerous pegasus ponies began to enter the stadium all of them wearing Wonderbolt uniforms.

They quickly picked up the Crusaders and Spike while leading the rest of the ponies up to the exits.

"Okay rookies!" Said Spitfire to the trainees. "This here is the ultimate test! Think you can handle it!"

Then they all said "Yes ma'am!"

"You lot!" Spitfire shouted "Make sure go up there and block off falling debris! You others do your best to lead of the rest of the ponies from the stands to safety! As for you two!" She points to Rainbow Dash and Soarin. "You're with me!"

They followed Spitfire up onto Don Grif'aun's ship.

"Pull over!" Spitfire shouted at the pirate griffin.

"Are you crazy!?" The griffin pirate shouted. "Those ponies are the ones who are firing at us you should make them Pull Over!"

"They're not the ones flying a ship in a no flying zone!" Spitfire said.

The pirate griffin was getting annoyed, "You want me to pull over? Find I'll pull over!"

With swing of the wheel Don Grif'aun began a nose dive down towards the stadium below.

Spitfire was taken aback. "Recruits! do either of you know how to stop this guy?"

"Oh I might have an idea." Said Soarin.

He floated down to Don Grif'aun and whispered into his ear, "So I was talking to TrenderHoof the other day and I wanted to ask a question...Is it true your part Hippogriff?"

"What?!" Shouted Don Grif'aun, "He said I was part Hippogriff!? This is an outrage!" He quickly turn his ship back up word and am directly towards TrenderHoof and TroubleShoes. "No one calls Don Grif'aun a hippogriff!"

Then one of his crew started singing "He's the famous Captain Don Grif..." Whack! The Captain punched his crew mate in the face.

"You really need to know when to keep quiet!" Grif'aun shouted.

Back on TrenderHoof's ship, Flash was still trying to bring his friend to his sense.

"Have you completely lost your mind!" Flash said.

Trenderhoof stated "I don't know I just spent seven hours trying to find a parking space and now I'm shooting cannon balls at a pirate.. You tell me!"

"Uh fellas, is just me or is that ship headed straight for us now." said Troubleshoes.

"Stay out of it Troubleshoes!" Trenderhoof shouted.

All of a sudden Flash had an idea.

He quickly flew back down to stadium below. He soon returned with Rarity in tow, and brought her to the now crazy stallion.

"TrenderHoof what in Equestria are you doing!" Rarity shouted.

Suddenly TrenderHoof came to his senses, a look of embarrassment crossing his face.

"Um...Well.. the thing is.. I.." Trenderhoof said.

"You were supposed to be getting a parking space," Rarity stated, "Not getting into air raids like a pack of wild hooligans. This is no way for a gentle stallion behave!"

"But you don't understand Rarity," Trenderhoof spouted. "I spent seven hours trying to find the perfect parking space and then that Griffin went and took the last one right in front of me and gloated about it!"

"Yes I can understand how frustrating that can be" Rarity continued, "But he is ruffian, you are supposed to a gentle stallion. The proper thing to do in in this kind of situation is to simply turn the other cheek and trot away."

TrenderHoof thought for a moment and finally sighed, "You're right.. I don't know what I was thinking I'm sorry." He then gave Rarity a confident smile and then turned the ship in the other direction.

But Grif'aun was still charging at them. "You think you can get away from me after you insult my blood line!?"

Soarin looked over to the crazy griffin and said "Well we got him to turn the ship around so how do we get him to stop this crazy thing!?"

Then Spitfire said "That hard way!" She then charged at the mad griffin.

But just when she was about to reach him a minotaur pirate knocked Spitfire over then head knocking her out. "Mare over board!" he shouted tossing her off of the ship.

"Spitfire!" Rainbow Dash shouted she then flew after her hero as she fell down to the sky below. Spitfire fell directly pass Cloudsdale and continued onwards down towards Equestria below.

Rainbow Dash tried her best to keep up with Spitfire, but gravity was just too fast for her. Despite this Rainbow Dash when faster and faster, faster than she had ever gone before. Just as Spitfire was about to hit the ground, Rainbow Dash made one final leap past the speed of sound.

BOOM!

A Sonic Rainboom filled up the skies sailing all the way back up to Cloudsdale.

"What in the name of pink!" Don Grif'aun shouted as his ship was blown off cores by then Rainboom.

Soarin then said "That's my que to leave!" He then flew off the ship to join Flash and the others.

Don Grif'aun screamed as his ship headed for the ground.

Back at Cloudsdale Twilight, Fluttershy, Thunderlane, Cheese, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, the Crusaders and Spike along with Rainbow's and Flutter's parents looked to the skies trying to find Rainbow Dash.

"Look!" Said Applebloom pointing to RD holding and knocked out spitfire. "It's Rainbow Dash and she got Spitfire!"

"Aw yeah! Way to go Rainbow Dash!" Scootaloo cheered.

"Yeah!" Bow Hothoof shouted opening up his shirt!

"A Sonic Rainboom!" Fluttershy shouted. "She did it! She did it! WOOOOOOHHHHHHOOOOOO!"

Cheese sandwich turned to Thunderlane. "What's a Sonic Rainboom?"

"Long story," Thunderlane stated, "I'll explain it later."

Later at the stadium, Twilight sat in the remains of the stands along with the others.

"I still can't believe Trenderhoof got so upset over a parking space," she whispered to Flash.

"We're just lucking that the Wonderbolts didn't press charges," Flash responded.

"Oh go easy on him," stated Rarity cozying up to Trenderhoof, "He's just a very emotional gentlecolt."

Troubleshoes rolled his eyes.

"Quiet Down," Scootaloo chime in between RD's parents, "It's starting!"

Spitfire, having regained consciousness, marched alongside the remaining pegasus. "Recruits you've all showed a lot of promise today and many of you may have future with the Wonderbolts! However," she then turn to Rainbow Dash and Soarin, "Only two of you showed a level of promises higher then the rest. Rainbow Dash and Soarin your officially in the Wonderbolts Reveres!"

Up in the stands Rainbow and Soaring could hear their friends and family cheer

"Alright Rainbow Dash," Bow Hothoof proclaimed, "WoowooWoowooWoo!'

"So." Soarin asked Spitfire "When do we start flying?"

"You're in the reveres solider," Spitfire stated, "Don't get ahead of yourself."

Family Quest part 2

Family Quest part 2

Doctor Caballeron, "Well isn't this an interesting situation? One does not get in to things like this everyday."

The mane six and stallions glared at the villain as his goons holed tightly Spike Scootaloo, Tinder Tapes and First Base.

"After so many years of waiting for somepony to come looking for Snap Shutter and Mane Allgood," Said Caballeron, "You lot arrive just in the nick of time."

Rainbow Dash then shouted "You better let those four go!"

"Ubupbup.." Said the doctor, "I'll be giving the orders around here."

Flash Sentry spoke up, "How do you know about Snap Shutter and Mane Allgood?"

The the doctor spoke, "All in good time my friends which is something you don't have. Now then would kindly tell me why you are looking for them."

Then a sly look came across Trenderhoof's face, "Well that' a very interesting question one that has numerous possible answers to it."

Troubleshoes heard what is friend said and instantly knew what he was up to.

"The real question is." Said TrenderHoof approaching Caballeron, "Why do you want to know what we know about Snap Shutter and Mane Allgood?"

"What?" Said Caballeron confused.

"Yeah," said Troubleshoes, "Why do you want to know do you want to know what we know about Snap Shutter and Mane Allgood?

Caballeron stuttered, "Wha.. Y-you know why I want to know what you know about Snap Shutter and Mane Allgood!

TrenderHoof smiled, "I don't know if we know why you want to know what we know about Snap Shutter and Mane Allgood."

"You know why I want to know what you know that I know that you know.. Dup.. Aggrrh!" Caballeron shouted know furious. "That's it! You will tell me what I want to know this minute, or the foals get it!"

Trenderhoof smiled, "What foals?"

Caballeron turn to see that his goons have been beaten up by Flash Thunderlane, and Soarin. Spike, Scootaloo, Tender Tapes, and Frist Base, are in the capable hooves of Twilight and Fluttershy.

"Oh pony feathers." Said Caballeron.

"Get him!" Said Applejack swinging her lasso over the doctor.

Pinkie Pie and Cheese then proceed to rapped Caballeron up in the rope tying him to a chair.

Trenderhoof said "Now your going to tell us what we want to know or else."

"Hahaha!" Laughed the doctor "You ponies think you can get me to talk? Never I have will of steel."

Rainbow Dash glared at the doctor and said "Oh yeah?" She glanced back at the other. "Time to bring out the big guns!"

The ponies stepped aside and let Pinkie Pie approach the doctor.

"This is your your big gun?" Caballeron Laughed "This puny pink pony?"

Then Pinkie Pie smiled and asked "Have you ever had a cherrychanga?"

"What?" Asked the doctor confused

"Well now wonder!" said Pinkie Pie "Because I made it up myself! A cherrychanga is mashed up cherries in a tortilla that's deep fried. Cherrychanga. Great name, huh? Oh, but maybe I should call it a chimicherry. Ooh, that's good too. Which do you think sounds better? Cherrychanga or chimicherry? Or what if I combine them? Chimicherrychanga! What sounds the funniest?"

Caballeron was quickly becoming annoyed as Pinkie Pie continued.

"I like funny words! One of my favorite funny words is 'kumquat'! I didn't make that one up. I would work in a kumquat orchard just so I could say 'kumquat' all day! Kumquat, kumquat, kumquat! And 'pickle barrel'! Isn't that just the funnest thing to say? Pickle barrel, pickle barrel, pickle barrel! Say it with me! Pickle barrel, kumquat, pickle barrel, kumquat, pickle barrel, kumquat, chimicherrychanga!"

Caballeron then scream. "AAAAHHHHH! Make it stop make it stop!"

"There's only one way to make it stop." Said Rainbow Dash covering Pinkie's mouth "Is for you to spill the beans!"

"Never! You'll never get me to talk!" Shouted the doctor

Rainbow Dash then uncovered Pinkie Pie's mouth. "Speaking of beans, did you ever realize how many words rhyme with 'beans'? Lean, mean, spleen, unclean, bean..."

"Alright, Alright, I'll talk just please make her stop!" Shouted Caballeron.

"Alright," Gasped The doctor "It's like this ten years ago, I was out to find a rear artifact for a potential payer. But when I had a run in with my old arch enemy Daring Do."

Daring DO is real!" Shouted Rainbow Dash excited.

"Yes yes," Said the Doctor "Daring Do is real, I'm real Ahuizotl is real blah, blah, blah. I had this conversation a millions times, but anyway Daring Do was not alone she long companions Snap Shutter and Mane Allgood."

"I did read anything about that in the book." Said Twilight taking out the titan's talisman.

"Oh you be amaze what they leave out the books." Said Caballeron "Honestly it's a wonder they even sale."

"Wait!" Said Flash "That was you at the auction back the con!?"

"Of course!" Said Twilight "You were trying to sale the Daring do book to pass along secret information about your arch enemy!"

"No." Said Caballeron "I like visiting my fans, you be amazed what they pay for an autograph."

Flash just rolled his eyes. "So what this have to do with Parents?" Said Flash angry

"You were that little brat!?" Said the Doctor "I thought you looked familiar, you kicked me in the face!"

Flash got up close to Caballeron with an angry look. "I'm about to do it again it you don't tell me where my parents are!"

Caballeron began to sweat. "I don't know the last time I saw them. They were in the temple of Anubis I was fighting them for the titans talisman... When Ahuizotl showed up I may be one of the greasiest treasure hunters in the world even I'm not cray enough to go up agents that monster!"

Flash sighed "Well everypony I think we know here we're going next."

The ponies turn and proceeded to leave the tavern.

"Wait!" Shouted Caballeron "Are you going to untie me first!?"

Then Thunderlane said "No!"

The ponies walked in the streets of Saddle Ariba more confused then ever.

"So mom and dad knew Daring do?" Said Scootaloo "Awesome!"

"Not awesome." Said Frist "Because Daring Do is not real that guy was obviously out of his mind."

"Still," Said Twilight" "It's worth investigating."

"So," The next spot we should go to is this Temple of Anubis?"

"And how exactly are we suppose to find the Temple of Anubis?" Asked Rainbow Dash

"Ohh the temple of Anubis?" Said the same passing pony of earlier "Why it's right on the other side of the river just go thought the jungle then your there!"

"Seriously!?" Shouted Rainbow Dash "How do you know this?"

"Everypony knows this." The stallion snugged

"Wait minute." Said Flash "Discord is that you?"

"Aw lookad the time." Said the Pony, his eyes darting nervously. "Must be going now bye, bye!" And the pony disappeared in a puff of smoke.

"how does he keep doing that?" Asked Soarin

"I don't know." Said Twilight "But at least we know were the temple is."

The ponies and Spike trudged thought the jungle the hot sun beating down on them from the tree above.

"How..(Gasp) Longer to this temple." Asked.

"I don't know." Said Rarity "But if we stay in this heat much longer my mane gonna frizz out."

"According to the Titans Talisman" Said Twilight looking at the Daring do book. "We only have another mile until we reach Anubis temple.

"I don't even know why we're still listing to that book." Said Frist Base "It's just a loud on nonsense."

"No it isn't!" Said Scootaloo "Mom and Dad knew Daring Do!"

"No they didn't!" Said First Base.

"Yes They did!" Said Scootaloo.

"No they didn't!" Said First Base

"Yes they did!" Scootaloo Proclaimed

"No they didn't!" Shouted Frist Base "Daring Do is not real and Mom and Dad never coming back so stop being such a big baby!"

The whole jungle suddenly when quit every pony glared at Frist Base as Scootaloo began to tear up.

Rainbow Dash and Tender Tapes began to comfort her.

"Nice going kid." Said Rainbow Dash to the young colt.

Frist Base suddenly feeling guilty then trotted away from the group Flash Sentry then looked at the others and sigh. "I'll talk to him."

We walked after the gloomy foul sitting beneath at tree.

"Look Frist." Said Flash "I know how tuff it can be not having parents, I had to grown up with out them. But that doesn't mean you have to take it out on Scootaloo."

"That's not why am angry." Said First, Flash looked at the foal confused.

"They weren't there for us." Hump Frist Base. "For ten years they weren't there for us, now I'm supposed to believe that their were just missing? Don't you what means? What if they didn't want to come back? What if they just abandon us?"

Flash thought for a moment. "Well I'm not gonna lie kid that seems like a possibility."

"Wait What!?" Said First looking at Flash confused.

"I grew up on the streets not knowing my parents or even if I had any. But I still had a family I had Cheese, I had Soarin and now I have Twilight Thunderlane, Discord, and more. I have always have a family to stand by me." He then place his wing on Frist Base's shoulder. "And you know what so do you."

First Base smiled for a minute.

"But family a two way street." Said Flash "You need to stand by them as well. Even if you don't agree with them."

Frist Base sigh. "I guess I how Scoots and apologies."

"I guess so." Said Flash

"AAAAAAHHHHH!" Shouted a voice over the jungle.

"That was Pinkie Pie!" Said Flash

The two ponies ran back to where the others were only to find that they were surrounded by jungle cats.

"Everypony chimed down!" shouted Applejack trying to reangle a panther. "There's no need to panic!"

"I'd say there is!" Said Soarin trying to fly away from a Cheetah.

"Nice kitty, good kitty." Said Fluttershy trying to calm down a tiger. "don't be mad at me."

"Help!" Shouted Scootaloo

Flash and First Base turn to see Scootaloo and Tender Tapes were about to be attacked a bobcat.

"Scootaloo! Tender Tapes!" The foal ran tows his sibling and push them into a of pile near by bushes.

"Where' everypony else." Said Flash joining Applejack

"This darn gone' varmints dragged them away!" said AJ

"Dragged them where!?" Said Flash

"I have not ideyaahaahaaaaaah!" Applejack said as the Panther pounced down on her.

Flash watched in horror as the animal dragged her away, "Let her go you big..!"

"Hey buddy a little help over her," Soarin cried out.

Flash turned to see the Cheetah was dragging Soarin Away to.

"Oh my Goodness! Oh my Goodness!" cried Fluttershy as the tiger pulled her away!

"Everypony!" shouted Flash. Suddenly the Bobcat leapt at Flash it's fangs drawn.

"Flash." A voice said "Flash." Flash's eyes open to see his three possibly siblings looking down upon him.

"Aw we were so worried about." Said Scootaloo.

"Wh...what happened to the others? "Asked Flash

"They were all taken away by those big cats." Said Tender Tapes.

"But we were rescued." Said Frist Base in disbelief "By her!"

Flash turn to see a pony sitting in front of a burning camp fire she safari hat and a cargo shirt her light brown wings glistened in the fire light.

"What are you foals doing in my jungle?" Daring do proclaimed

"Your...Your Daring Do!" Flash shuddered in disbelief

"And you haven't answered my question." Said Daring Do "What are you doing in my jungle?"

"Well," Said Flash "We were looking for the temple of Anubis but then those giant cats showed up and took away our friends."
Daring Do groan. "Great now Ahuizotl got them."

"Ahuizotl!" Cried Scootaloo "The monster from the books!?"

"Yep." Said Daring Do tiling her hat. "If I didn't have enough things to worry about now I have a hostage situation."

"What are we going to do?" Said Frist Base

"You're not going to do anything." Said Daring Do "I'm going to go to the temple of Anubis and rescue your friends. you all are going to stay right here."

"Now wait a minute!" Shouted Flash "We came a long way to get to this stinking temple and we're not about to leave now!"

"That's not my problem kid." Daring do growled.

"But what about our parents!?" Said Scootaloo

Daring do paused "What about your parents?"

"Um..."Flash paused for a minute and then responded "you might find this hard to believe. But we're pretty our parents were Snap Shutter and Mane Allgood."

Daring Do then turn to children a look of disbelieve on her face. "You're all Mane Allgood's kids!"

"We think so." said Flash "You know her?"

A sad look cross Daring Do's face "Mane Allgood his my big sister."

"Wait a minute." Said Scootaloo "That's means your our aunt!"

The three foal raced to Daring do hugged her tightly.

"Um guys." Said Flash "I don't think we have time for this."

"We never had a famous aunt before!" Said Frist "Let us have this!"

"So Flash Sentry." Said Daring Do approaching the stallion. "It's been to long I hardly recognize you."

"You know me?" Said Flash

"Know you?" Said Daring Do "Snap and Allgood used to take you on adventures all the time."

"Lucky." Mumbled Scootaloo

Daring do counited "You looked up to them so much and of course to your famous aunt."

"But what happened to them?" Flash asked "Were they been all this time?"

"You don't remember?" Said Daring Do

"No." Said Flash "I don't."

A sad look cross Daring Do's face again. "It's a long story, but right now we need to get to that temple before Ahuizotl does."

The five ponies approach the temple of Anubis guarded by viscous jungle cats.

"There it is." Said Daring Do. "Ahuizotl has been lying low in this temple for the last ten years."

"But why?" Said Tender Tapes

"I imagine he still can't get to that key." said Daring

"Key?" said flash, "What key?"

"Another long," Said Daring "But now what's imported is that we get in there."

"And how do we do that?" Asked Frist

Daring do whistled, "Here kitties! Kitties! Kitties! Over here!"

The jungle cats growled seeing their familiar foe.

"I'll distract the sour pusses, you kids break in to the temple!" said Daring Do flying off.

Seeing the cats casing the heroic pony Flash turn to his brothers and sister. "Let's go guys."

The four ponies snuck their way into the temple's entrance and trotted in side.

The inside of the temple was like a maze nearly impossible to navigate.

"Shh...Guys," Said Scootaloo, "I think I hear something."

The four ponies turn a corner and saw the mane six Spike and the remaining Stallions hanging from a cage.

"Twilight look!" Said Spike

"Flash! Kids! Your alright!" Said Twilight

"We sure our," Said Flash, "Let get you out of there."

"Twilight," Said Scootaloo, "Why didn't you just teleport out of there?'

"This cage is immune to alicorn magic I couldn't teleport if I wanted to," Said Twilight

"And believe me," Said Soarin, "We want her too."

"Hurry up!" Said Rainbow Dash "Before he comes back!"

"Before who comes back?" Flash asked

"Well, well, well, what have we here?" A voice said

The ponies turn to see a tall blue creature approaching them it was part cat, part money, all hideous. "If it isn't the young flash Sentry return from the dead and grown up."

"Ahuizotl," Flash said his eyes opening wide. "Now I remember you were the one I was running away from!"

"Ah very good," Said Ahuizotl, "And I nearly would have gotten you too If it wasn't for you're meddling aunt of yours."

"What did you do with our parents!?" Flash said in an angry glare.

"Me?" Ahuizotl gestures to himself with his tail hand in disbelieve. "Why Don't you remember? I didn't do anything to them."

Ahuizotl reach out his tail and the hand on the end pulled out at a leaver. A lager stone wall rose reveling two figures of stone.

"Mom, Dad?" Said Flash

It was indeed Snap Shutter and Mane Allgood both of them transformed in to statue.

"That's our Mom and Dad!?" Said Scootaloo tears forming in her eyes.

"They can't be!" Said said First

That's right!" Said Tender tapes "It's can't be!"

"No," Said Flash, "I remember everything now. Both of those statues are our parents both turn into stone by that!" Flash pointed.

Behind their parents stood a large stone corridor and at the end of it stood and missive statue of Anubis holding a large stone key.

"Mom and Dad trying to get that key before Ahuizotl did. But before they could reach it that thing turn them to stone." Flash said

"Tell me about it." Said Ahuizotl rolling his eyes. "I've spin the last ten years trying to get past that beast. But there' no why to get out of it sight."

"But Why?" Said Twilight from the cage. "what do you have to gain from that thing?"

"An excellent question princess." Ahuizotl began to pace. "Image if you will seven keys of each one powerful enough on their own. But when put together they gain the ability to unlock the doors to Tartarus itself and with it all the horrors it contains."

"That terrible." Said Thunderlane "Who in Equestria would want keys like that?"

"King Sombra would." Smiled Ahuizotl "And once I've delivered this key to him I shell become one of his top underling."

"You haven't been able to get that key for ten year what makes you think you'll get it today?" Rainbow Dash yelled

"Because," Said Ahuizotl waving his tail's index finger. "Today I have the eldest son of Mane Allgood and Snap Shutter."

Flash Sentry growled "Even if I could get to that stupid key, what makes you think I would?"

"Two reasons," Said Ahuizotl "Frist of all that key the only way to turn your parents as they were, second of all if you don't..."

Ahuizotl then snapped the figures on his tail his army of cats suddenly shows up and surrounded the cage with his friends inside.

"...Who knows what will happened to your friends," Said Ahuizotl

Flash glance at the cage his terrified friends inside and then tows the statue of his parents.

He took a deep breath and stepped forward.

"No!" Shouted Scootaloo as she grabbed his hind leg. "Don't do it Flash you'll turn to stone too!"

"I don't have a choice." Flash said sadly. "This is the only way to give you guys back our parents."

"Flash!" Twilight Sparkle called out from the cage he looked over to her holding out the Daring Do book. "Remember the legend of Somnambula! You have to face the challenge with your eyes blind!"

"With his eyes blind!?" Said Rainbow Dash "Who is that going to help?"

Flash thought for a moment he whom so ever enter Anubis sight shell suffer his wrath.

"What?" Said Scootaloo looking confused.

Flash then closed his eyes tightly and stepped forwarded into the chamber flames suddenly rose from the floor in front of him but he keep his eyes close when the flames died he step forward as as the floor dropped in front of him say a bridge, Flash cross the bridge carefully. As snakes began to dropped from the ceiling.

"Snakes." Scootaloo watching "Why did it have to be snakes?"

The snakes hissed around Flash as he made it to the other side of the bridge with his eyes still closed. He slowing approach the approach the statue of
Anubis, the statue seem to growl at him as he got closer. Bees of sweat dripping from his brow Flash Sentry reach forward and remove the key from Anubis clutches.

"Phew." Said Flash Sentry "That was a close..."

"At last!" Scream Ahuizotl as he swap the key from Flash he had been fallowing the young stallion from behind this whole time.

Flash then open his eyes and turn to Ahuizotl. "Alright you got your stupid key now let my friends go!"

"AHhahahaha! You actually thought I was going to hold my end of the bargain!?" Said the evil money cat.

The statue of Anubis eyes glowed red.

"Now that I have the key of Gluttony there is nothing that can stop me!"

The statue then began to crumble, pieces of stone falling away.

"I hope you enjoy spinning the rest eternity in this temple along with your parents!"

"Ahuizotl!" A voice boomed

Flash Sentry and Ahuizotl turn to see the statue of Anubis had come to life. "Are you trying to seal my key again!?"

"Anubis!" Said Ahuizotl with a nervous smile "What a surprise I didn't expect see you here in your temple."

"This is exactly why we banished you from the pantheon!" Shouted Anubis "You are the worst guardian ever!"

The entire temple shook as Anubis took a swing at Ahuizotl.

Flash grabbed the key as Ahuizotl try to get away. "Let's get out of here!" As he races tows the others.

"But what about mon and Dad!?" Shouted Scootaloo

"There's no time!" Said Rainbow Dash as she and Thunderlane were fighting off the cats. Trenderhoof had apparently picked the lock on the cage.

"She right!" Said Twilight as spike was clinking on tightly on her back. "We got to find away out of this place before it falls apart on top of us!"

"Up here!" A voice called the ponies looked up and saw Daring do swinging a rope down to them from an opening above.

"OhmygoshOhmygoshOhmygosh!" Said Rainbow Dash "It's Daring..."

"We don't have time for this!" Shouted Thunderlane pushing her forward.

The pegasi flew up ward with the foals in hoof, while the unicorns and earth ponies claimed the rope. When the last pony reach the top Daring do looked down at Anubis holding Ahuizotl in a headlock.

"Better luck next time Ahuizotl!" She shouted down at him with a smile.

"Curse you Daring Do! BWAhahaahahaa," Ahuizotl cried at his arch enemy.

The ponies and Spike began to race away from the temple as it began to collapse behind them. When they finally got away they fell to the ground and got their breaths.

"Is every pony okay?" Asked Twilight

"I've been better!" Said Spike still clinging tightly to her mane.

"At long last," Said Daring do taking the key from Flash, "We finally got a hold of the key of wrath."

"But we didn't get our parents," said Scootaloo tearing up.

Tender Taps and First Base attempted to comfort her. Flash sight and approached the filly.

"I know what it's like to lose you're parents," said Flash. "This isn't my first time losing them, but at least we still have each other."

"And you still have us said Rainbow Dash," approaching Scootaloo. She gestured towards Spike, the remaining Stallions and Mares. A tiny smile began to form of Scootaloo's face.

"Look!" shouted Pinkie Pie, pointing to where the temple had once stood.

The ponies watched in awe as to figures, a Mare and a Stallion approached from the crumbling ruins.

Scootaloo's eyes lit wide open, "Mom! Dad!"

She, Tender Taps, and First raced over to the two ponies who embraced them lovingly.

"Look at you all!" said Mane Allgood, "You've all gotten so big!"

"Crikey," Shutter Snap proclaimed, "How long have we been turned to stone?"

"About ten years," said Daring Do approaching the two ponies.

"Ten Years!" cried Shutter Snap. "You couldn't have broken the curse sooner Abby!"

"I told you not to call me Abby!" shouted Daring Do to the Stallion.

Flash Sentry as the three ponies continued to argue, the foals racing in-between them.

"Well," said Soarin approaching Flash from behind, "aren't you gonna say "Hi" to them!"

Flash stood still, not moving a muscle. Finally Soarin called over to Cheese and the two stallions pushed their friend forward.

Snap and Allgood ceased arguing with Daring Do. "Flash Sentry?" asked Mane Allgood.

"Hi mom..," Flash Sentry nervously scratched his head. "Hi dad.."

"Look at you, Mate," Snap Shutter said approaching his son. "The last time we saw you you were just a little Joey."

"We though we'd never see you again," said Mane Allgood holding her grown son tightly.

"Me too," said Flash hugging his mother back.

"So it's true," Tender Taps asked, "Flash Sentry is our older brother?"

"He sure is mates," proclaimed Snap Shutter, placing a hoof on his eldest son's shoulder.

The three foals suddenly raced towards Flash Sentry, tackling him to the ground hugging him.

"This is the best day ever," said Scootaloo holding tightly to Flash, "We got our whole family back."

"Well," Mane Allgood to Daring Do, "Looks you saved the day again, eh Abby?"

Daring Do growled, "I told you not to call me.."

"Wait," said Rainbow Dash, "what is this thing between you guys?"

"Well that's my little sisters name," said Mane Allgood holding Daring Do tightly, "Abigail Katherine Yearling II."

"Yeah," said Snap Shutter, "They named their dog Daring Do!"

"Wait a minute," proclaimed Rainbow Dash, "Daring Do is your sister?!"

"And she's named after the dog," said Soarin trying not to laugh.

Daring Do growled, still in her sisters embrace, "I had a lot of good memories of that Dog.."

And with that the ponies rode off into the sunset..

Back at King Sombra's castle, a battered and bruised Ahuizotl approached the evil kings throne.

"Well..?" King Sombra growled at his minion.

Ahuizotl smiled nervously at his master, "Here's the thing.. After ten long years, I was finally able to get ahold of the key contained within the Temple of Anubis.."

"And where is the key?" said King Sombra expecting more.

Beads of sweat dripped down Ahuizotl's brow, "Yes well.. I regret to inform you that Daring Do swooped in at the last minute and took the key. Right now it is probably on it's way to Tambelon where the Princess Twilight will lock it up in her castle."

King Sombra hoofed himself in the face out of frustration.

"But there is still good news," Ahuizotl said with a smile.

"Oh..?", said King Sombra.

Ahuizotl held out his fingers, "We still have one of the keys. The ponies only have two."

King Sombra looked unamused, "You're point?"

"My point!?" said Ahuizotl frustrated, "The keys open more than just the doors to Tartarus you know! They open doorways! Doorways to the other keys!"

King Sombra eye his minions curiously, "Oh.. Go on.."

"Stay with me for a moment," Ahuizotl began making gestures with his hands, "We have one of the the keys.. Two of the keys are in Tambelon.. We use our key to open a doorway directly to Tambelon.. Grab the other two keys.. And bring them here!"

King Sombra smiled, "Yes.. Yesss! I like it! I like it a lot!

Ahuizotl was pleased to see Sombra happy.

"And since this was your plan Ahuizotl," Sombra continued, "you shall carry it out. And just to make sure you succeed, bring the Diamond Dogs with you.

Cujo and the Diamond Dogs entered the throne room.

"This is how you expect me to succeed?" Ahuizotl gestured towards the Diamond Dogs in disbelief.

Sombra shrugged, "Desperate times call for desperate measures."

"Hold on a minute King Sombra!" Cujo proclaimed. "There's no way were taking orders from Monkey-Cat over here!"

Ahuizotl glared at the dogs, "Excuse me my canine friends, which one of you is the smallest?"

Spot raised his paw, "Uh, that would be me!"

There was large roar and a great snarling of teeth, as the diamond dogs watched in horror!

King Sombra merely rolled his eyes, "Ahuizotl.. Spit him out.."
