The True Master of Chaos

Twilight walked through Ponyville square, observing its’ many inhabitants scrambling everywhere as they set up for the night to come.  Some floundering with the chairs, some with tables, while others just sat around trying to look like they were doing something.

The town was preparing for the princesses to come to them to join for dinner. When the mayor was told that Celestia and Luna were coming, she knew she had to get stuff done, and more importantly, when the stuff had to get done by and what stuff there was to be doing. It was first time in two years that both princesses were at a public meeting together, so it was even more important than most visits from royalty.

Where one the buffets was supposed to be, was a giant, sticky mess, the product of a few complications involving Derpy, a few banners and some chipmunks, of all things. The Mayor, who was responsible for the event, simply sighed when she had saw this and then had walked off muttering something about being too old for the job.

As the main organizer, Twilight had almost collapsed when she saw the mess. Luckily, some of the ponies that were standing around immediately went on towards cleaning it. A task which would prove a challenge for none but the bravest of souls.

After recovering from insanity, Twilight's’ eyes darted around to see something other than the terrible pile of sticky goo and other objects that would best be not mentioned. Saviour came in the form of  Rainbow Dash and Soarin flying a banner up between two posts. Upon closer inspection, Twilight saw the banner said, 'Welcome Princesses' in a nice red paint with all the letters there and in the right order. When finished, both Rainbow and Soarin smiled at each other and looked around for anything else to do.

Twilight walked over to help guide them onto their next task, "Good job, you two. Rainbow, I need you to to go help Derpy with the other banners, before she manages  to turn any other buffets into radioactive slop or anything of the kind. Soarin, could you go help Big Mac gather firewood for tonight? We need some more for this night to be acceptable for the Princesses. Please go. Clock is ticking!"

Rainbow and Soarin were inseparable, and had been since they had moved in together a year ago. While this was nice, Twilight knew that it downgraded the efficiency of which they worked, as they were too busy being romantic to help with all but the most simple of jobs. This would not do, the Princesses’ dinner was simply a much too important occasion for romancing, so Twilight figured that they should be separated for the time being.

Rainbow gave a look of disappointment to Twilight. "Aww, can't I go work with Soarin? I can't let him hurt himself with that wood."

Soarin glared over at her from what he hoped was a sarcastic comment. "You know, I can handle more than you think, Rainbow."

"Well you definitely didn't last night, did you?" she turned her body to show the side of her flank, giving a little chuckle.

He tried to cover the blush on his blue face, Then tried to pull out his tough colt attitude “I can handle a lot more than that... As long as you make it good.” They both laughed and locked lips together, dropping to the ground in unison. They rolled in the dirt, slipping their hooves behind each other’s backs, moving up and down one another.

Twilight shook her head in disgust, "You know you two are in public!? There are foals around here! Get a room Celestia-dammit!"

Both of them looked up and laughed when they saw Twilight's expression. Rainbow spoke up, "Aaaw, someone's jealous that she doesn't have a colt friend." she laughed and bent down to Soarin again, keeping her eyes on Twilight as she slipped her tongue into his mouth.

Twilight turned red and started to sweat from her statement, "N-no I'm not! I was just- you two are- dah!" she facehooved out of frustration. "Just get to work!"

Cracking up at how they made Twilight so frustrated, they crawled up from the ground, kissing one last time before separating to do their jobs.

Twilight shook her head clear of her thoughts. The truth was that she couldn't help but feel a little jealous. It had been over two years since she was with any pony. And most of the time she was always caught up with her studies and didn't have time, but  it was also because she was always nervous when with a special somepony, and never could stop worrying about small details, which caused most to become annoyed.

She continued to think, then was stopped when she heard a very quiet cough. A yellow Pegasus had walked up behind Twilight and was attempting to get her attention. Twilight then saw her friend carrying her pet rabbit, Angel.

In all the time since Luna's return, nothing about Fluttershy could be seen as different in her appearance; her body had not grown in any way, or had her wings. Her pink mane was still the same length, and still covered part of her face.

Twilight was happy to see her friend, "Hey Fluttershy, how have you been? Are you here to help prepare for dinner?"

Fluttershy's quiet voice came out, "oh yes, Twilight. I wanted to help in any way I can."

"well, you can see if Rarity needs help with the decorations."

"oh, um, ok then. I'll head over there pretty soon. I did promise Angel that I would go get him his favorite treat. I hope you don’t mind or anything." The rabbit tapped her back impatiently, pointing to the store to the right. "Now don't worry Angel, you will get your treat. Um, sorry Twilight."

“Oh it’s alright Fluttershy. I don’t mind.”

As Fluttershy walked away, Twilight hadn’t taken five steps when she noticed a white unicorn just looking around with no idea what was happening. She immediately recognized it as Florence, a male unicorn who had just moved to Ponyville from Hoofmond the week before. He was about the same size as her brother, Shining Armor, with a black mane and tail hanging from him. His cutie mark was of a sword and golden shield, probably representing his magic skills.

Rumour had it that Florence was considered a prodigy from any pony that had trained with him. And that his combat spells were as good to any guard in Celestia’s force, and apparently his defensive capabilities rivaled that of even her brother’s. The only reason he wasn’t a soldier, according to rumour was because he didn’t care. He was too carefree to want to go into that.

Not much was known about his reasons of coming to Ponyville either, he hadn’t told anypony, nor had anypony asked him. Because of this, most things were unknown about him.

Twilight walked over to him, “Florence, why aren’t you helping?”

“Hey Twilight. I have no idea what is going on right now.” His blank face showed he was telling the truth.

“The Princesses are arriving for a dinner. Didn’t you ever do this in your town?”

“Uhh.. No?”

Twilight gave a surprised look at him, “What? You never did this?”

“Nope. Hoofmond is a little town out in the middle of nowhere; the Princesses never came out there.”

“Oh, ok then.”

“I’ve never seen them face to face before; either. I’ve seen pictures of Princess Celestia, but not one of Princess Luna, what is she like?”

Well, Princess Luna is a dark blue Alicorn; she is very tall, sweet and majestic. Her dark mane flows like the ocean when she talks-” A sudden crash from the local snack shop made her realize she had to get back to organizing, “Oh sorry I’ve got to go. Bye!”

As she ran off, Florence sat there trying to picture the image in his head. He smiled to himself, “hmm, sounds dreamy.”

to walk towards Sugar Cube Corner to check on how the desserts were coming. She was not ready for the sight that beholder her.

Pots and pans were scattered in all directions around the colorful bakery. Cooking batter was splattered across the ceiling and working its way up the stairs in the back. The fridge had been tipped over and shoved by the counters.

From the back of the kitchen, a young grey pegasus came flying out of the back. Pound cake was laughing hysterically as his father tried to chase him down.

"Pound Cake, get down here this instant!" Mr. Cake was fuming red as he pursued his 5 year old son.

"Nope, you gotta catch me first! Haha."

Out of the other side of the store, Ms. Cake burst through the door, her normal pink frosting style mane was shot in many strange directions. She was looking every direction, her eyes bloodshot from anger, "pumpkin Cake! Get out here now!"

From below the floor, a blue glow came through the ground. It was followed by a yellow unicorn head, belonging to Pumpkin, Pound's twin sister. She giggled at her mom, "Nope, I think I'll stay here."

Twilight's shock was turned to a amazement seeing Pumpkin so skilled in magic so young. 'self-materialization', Twilight thought to herself, 'why haven't I ever thought about that?’

"Twilight! You gotta help me!"

Twilight quickly turned and saw pinkie pie. Besides being taller, her pink mane and tail still had their normal fluff to it. Her pink coat was splattered with powder and butter.

"Pinkie, what's going on here?"

Pinkie inhaled a deep breath, which meant something long was coming, "well me and the cakes were starting to make the snacks for the dinner tonight, Pound was like, 'I wanna play tag.' and I was like, 'no I can't.' and then Pumpkin was like, 'you better play with us!' then Ms. Cake goes, 'go to your room, kids!' and then they were like ' oh no you didn't!' and then Pound was like, 'ZOOM! CRASH!' and then Mr. Cake was like 'AHH!' and then Pumpkin was like 'ZAP!' and Ms. Came was like 'DAHHH!' and I'm sitting here like 'oh my goodness!"

Twilight shook her head to try and decipher the onslaught of information that had come her way. It seemed Pinkie had finally stopped, her breath coming in rapid gasps, but Twilight couldn’t hear if it was over her ears ringing.

"uh-"

"twilight! Stop them!" Mr. Cake screamed.

"Oh, right!" Twilight Focused her energy into her horn tip. Once enough energy had been built up, a purple wave of matter shot out in every direction. The moment it touched pound, his wings locked in place, encasing them in plasma chains, forcing him to land with a hard thud. With Pumpkin's case, it forced her up above the ground and a plasma collar was wrapped around her horn.

Both fillies sat up, confused what had just happened.

Twilight smiled seeing her immobilizing spell worked. She then focused her magic on the kitchen itself; her aura flowed to all of the pots, stacking all of them together. The rags in the sink began to float to the many areas of spilt flour and stains, wiping it clean.

Ms. Cake gave a sigh of relief as she saw her store return to normal. "Oh, thank you so much Twilight. I didn't know what to do."

Twilight simply smiled at the tired baker, "No worries, Ms. Cake, ways glad to help."

Mr. Cake wiped the sweat off his brow as he walked forward to pick up a of the scattered pots, "Pinkie Pie, can you start remaking the batter for the cupcakes?"

"Okie dokie lokie!" pinkie responded in her usual way. She began to bounce happily over to the counter and began mixing the dry mix with the rest of the ingredients.

Mr. Cake then returned his gaze to the two fillies pouting fillies on the ground. "And as for you two! You are both going to be punished!"

Pound just crossed his arms and gave a cocky smirk at his dad, "what are you gonna do; make us eat our broccoli?"

Mr. Cake looked up at Twilight, and they both smiled at each other, "No; you two are going to help twilight at her library again."

"What!?" Both shocked fillies shouted out in unison.

"For the next three days."

"NOOOOO!!!"

Celestia Walked out from her bedroom onto the balcony overlooking the gardens of Canterlot. The sun was still high in the sky, with half of the day still left. She sat watching her younger sister walk through the maze of plants. It had been three days since Luna broke down in her bathroom. After that night, she started coming out during the day at random times. She never told her older sister the reason for it.

Finally at patience end, the sun goddess takes flight down to the grass below. She walks down the path towards the blue princess, who was standing by a patch of red roses. Celestia stopped a few feet behind her sibling, "strange to see the princess of the night in sunlight, wouldn't you say?"

Luna turned her head and saw the white alicorn behind her. She turned back to the flowers to hide the bags under her eyes, "it's always good to see your opposites. I've come to admire the beauty of the day."

Celestia sat there with a frown on her muzzle, "you've never been good at lying when you were upset."

Luna sat there, not knowing what to say to her sister. She stayed quit for another minute before finally speaking, " I've been having these dreams lately. Most of them are the same thing over and over again."

"Well, what are your dreams about that are troubling you?"

Luna kept her head down, not wanting to look her sister in the eye, " in all of them there is screaming and destruction around me. All ponies are terrified by me. And every time I see myself in a mirror in the dream, I-I see nightmare moon." Luna didn't want to tell her that the dreams were getting worse as time went on; becoming more vivid and personal. After the second night, she believed it had to mean something, but chose to hide her thoughts.

Celestia could see Luna's shoulders trembling as she explained the nightmares to her. "So that's why you've been waking up at weird times, right?"

"yes, it keeps the visions away."

Seeing that Luna was forcing herself awake during the day just to avoid the dreams meant they were really bothering her, "Luna, they are just dreams. None of these images are real. You must not-"

Luna spun around, facing her sister, "Not Real!? I was nightmare moon! I did those horrible things to the world!"

Celestia jumped back from her sisters burst of anger, "Luna, it wasn't your fault, you-"

"Do you want to know something else? The ponies still hate me!" tears began forming in her eyes.

"now stop that! You know that's not true!"

"Yes it is and you know it! When you go into a town you are greeted with love and affection. Whenever I enter a town I see some ponies expressing their love, while others shake as I walk by! Even the castle guards are cautious around me!"

After her rant, Luna dropped to the ground and buried her face in her hooves and cried.

Celestia didn't want to admit it, but she knew it was true; many had a hard time accepting the absent princess back in open hooves. Some resented the fact because of Luna being nightmare moon before. The guards also were more jumpy than normal with Luna.

Yet, despite all of this, Celestia knew there were many who loved her sister. One pony she thanked was her student, Twilight Sparkle, for if it wasn't for twilight that nightmare night five years ago, her sister would still be all alone.

Celestia brought her muzzle down to Luna and laid it kissed the back of Luna's head. "I know it has been hard for you Luna, and I am truly sorry.  But I do see some good has come out of this."

Luna stopped sobbing when she heard that. She looked up at her sister, blinking her eyes to force out the Last few tears, "what?"

"since your return, you have proven that you can be a noble princess; one who can face what she has done and want to be better. And with your return, you have made great friends in Ponyville, including my faithful student, Twilight."

Luna pondered those thoughts in her head. Twilight was the first one to accept her after her return as a normal pony, helping her adjust to the new ways and working to make her feel welcome. "I-I guess you are right."

Celestia smiled down at her sister, “Go inside Luna, and get some sleep. You are going to need it.” She stood up, “we have a dinner to attend tonight.”
