It was a quiet night in Canterlot and all the ponies there were preparing to attend the Grand Galloping Gala, a celebration that Princess Celestia organizes every year to commemorate the founding of Equestria. But something that night was going to go very wrong ...
╠═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╣
In the castle room a few stairs upstairs a beautiful and brilliant Princess Celestia was greeting the new guests in an excited and imperative way but without losing her touch of cordiality.
''I finished raising the Moon and preparing for the event'' said Princess Luna approaching Celestia and standing next to her while wearing her princess uniform with certain differences '' It seems that this time there are more guests than what We had at the previous party, Sister '' says something curious.
''Yes, isn't it wonderful?'' He says excitedly while continuing to greet the guests ''Also now we have the cooperation of our neighboring Kingdom, helping with the decoration, the food and the music'' the older Alicorn lets out a small laugh as she watches these helpers from the other Kingdom se He was in charge of guiding the guests and others organized some things in the room. "This will definitely be the best Galloping Party I have ever put together" said Celestia.
''Of course it will be'' He replied, affirming the lesser Alicorn
Unexpectedly one of the guests entered the castle screaming in an alarming and agitated manner, both sisters and the public noticed the attitude of this pony who then said something disturbing.
''Everyone run and hide! There is something outside destroying the kingdom!'' Before he could continue to warn of what was coming an explosion impact collides with the door causing the scared pony to shoot out and scream out of shock and fear, that loud explosion caused a strong wind current, because of what had just happened and the pony's warnings now the guests panic. The princesses immediately took flight and leave the castle through the blast hole and notice how the entire kingdom is falling into chaos and destruction.
''What is happening?'' Celestia said, still shocked and trying to find the origin of this chaos.
''Sister, up!''Luna pointed with her hoof at the figure of a Pony flying higher above them, Celestia immediately directs her gaze to the place where Luna is pointing and also sees the mysterious figure
''Hey! Who are you?! Did you cause all this chaos?!'' Celestia asked furiously demanding answers that unfortunately she did not have since the figure did not say a single word, which bothered Celestia more ''You don’t want to talk eh?''
''Wait ... I notice something in its appearance ... it looks like it's a ...'' Luna looks at the Pony well but she can't distinguish it very well since it is right in the middle of the moon, but Celestia managed to notice something on the forehead of that I put something wide as if it were a stick stuck and I manage to draw a conclusion of what it was.
''It's an Alicorn…'' Celestia revealed.
The mysterious Alicorn descends towards the sisters while a glow on his horn was present, the glow increasing with intensity until from his horn he shoots a beam of energy towards the sisters.
Celestia could predict her attack but her body can't move ''What ?!'' she said alarmed, it seemed she didn't have control of her entire body ''Damn it! Luna, something's wrong with my body, I need your hel-… Luna?'' She notes that Luna is no longer with her, then she returns to the sight of the lightning and it is getting closer and closer to hitting her.
The princess begins to scream in despair to try to get rid of the attack and without success the lightning hits her completely ... The Princess awakens from her nightmare and gasps erratically as if that heavy sleep made her take her breath away completely.
''Uh ... uh ... It was just a nightmare ...'' Celestia said as she calms down little by little and tries to process everything that she lived in that nightmare, she feels something familiar in that nightmare ''The Galloping Gala ... a failure ... but ... That was a long time ago ...'' She said intrigued, she turns her gaze to the casual clock on her bank and notices that it is just a short time before dawn ''Well, I'll keep thinking about that later''
The Princess rises from her bed and then begins to comb her hair, puts on her royal uniform and leaves the bedroom to go to raise the sun.
╠═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╣
The moon descends to finally the Sun rise and illuminate all of Equestria with its immense rays of sunlight, the Canterlot ponies prepare to do their morning routines, go shopping, walk with their friends, work, in other things. But there was a pony who was still sleeping peacefully on his very important day.
''ZZZzzzZZZzzz'' the unicorn stallion still slept curled up in his comfortable bed and warm sheet until a loud beep was heard causing this sound to start bothering him in his sleep, it was the alarm on his clock that when he set the alarm clock it activated releasing its characteristic alarm sound. The stallion finally opened his eyes but it was difficult for him to wake up fully, fortunately the rays of the sunlight reflected in his windows illuminating his room causing it to hit his eyes and make him cover them and move from the bed to avoid be blinded. I turn off the alarm on the clock that was still ringing and yawn loudly "Today is the day" said the unicorn.
The male unicorn got up from his bed and began to prepare for his meeting with Princesses Celestia and Luna, he showered and combed his hair and then used his magic to put on his bag and carry his suitcase.
''Very well, I’m ready to go'' said the unicorn, took a last look at his watch and noticed that he was running late ''Oh dear! I'm going to be late! I must hurry!'' I said worried the unicorn, he quickly opened the door of his room to leave the room and then closed the door to start running.
The unicorn stallion ran with great vigor towards the castle of the sisters, he was excited but nervous at the same time, while he ran accidentally he collided with some ponies that were walking through the streets until he was near the castle of the Princesses.
''I'm almost there!'' He said while panting while still running to make a crossing and enter the castle grounds.
Unexpectedly something from the sky descends to the ground and right in the middle of the road, the stallion tried to brake but could not do it in time and still ends up colliding with the pony that was in his way.
''Ouch'' the unicorn was suffering a little pain in that impact it had, it shakes its head a little ''But what the heck? Oh I'm sorry, it was not my intention, Is that was in the middle of the roa-Ah?!'' When the unicorn turned his gaze to the poor pony that had crashed, he noticed something very curious in his body.
"Oh my head ..." said the purple pony complaining of pain. The pony has dark blue hair with pink and purple streaks with straight ends, similar to a bob, purple eyes with two lashes has that curve upwards and her cutie mark is a pink six pointed star, as a final touch she has a unicorn horn and two wings indicating that it is an Alicorn.
''(Wait… is she?… Wait, this is not the time to think about that) Hey, are you okay?'' Asked the stallion with concern.
''Yes, I think so… '' said the Alicorn, still somewhat dizzy from the shock, but then she shakes her head, gaining her sight well and the pain lessened.
''Let me help you up'' said the unicorn offering his hoof as support for him to get up.
''Thank you'' The Alicorn answered gratefully, who took her hoof and the stallion raised her with impulse, making her stand up.
''I’m really sorry, I was in a hurry and I didn’t see when you landed in time'' said the unicorn, still apologizing for bumping into her.
''Oh nothing’s wrong, I forgive you, anyway I think I’m also a bit to blame for not paying attention to my surroundings'' The Alicorn declared also trying to apologize.
''Hehe, okay, I forgive you for that too, miss? ...'' asked the unicorn.
''Twilight, Twilight Sparkle'' revealed the Alicorn.
''(I knew it!) Oh my! You are Twilight Sparkle the princess of friendship! I must bow to you in apology'' the unicorn continued nervously.
''Oh no no no, you don't need to, you can just call me Twilight'' Twilight clarified.
''As your majesty says, ahem, I mean, Twilight'' the unicorn corrected, still surprised. ''It's incredible, I didn't think I'd find Twilight herself here! I mean, well, you have a relationship with the Princesses obviously and it would be normal to find you around here hehe OW! I HAVE MANY QUESTIONS TO ASK YOU but the truth is I don't have time since I have... Ah! It's true!'' The unicorn finally remembered what he had to do so he quickly used his magic to make his bag that was on the ground float and fly towards the unicorn's back and put it on and he did the same but with his suitcase to do it float up.
''Did you forget something? '' Asked Twilight.
''Actually yes, I have an important conference with the princesses today'' said the unicorn.
''A Conference?!'' said Twilight, impressed by the revelation, it is not commonly that some ponies that seemed somewhat common have conferences with the sovereigns of Equestria.
''That's right, it was nice meeting you princess but I'm in a bit of a hurry'' said the unicorn, bowing to Twilight and then running to the castle grounds.
''HEY! ... oh ... he didn't even tell me his name ...'' said Twilight lamenting
The unicorn ran along the straight path of the castle until it reached the main entrance of the castle, in the distance he could distinguish two guards guarding the entrance who captured his presence and raised a helmet indicating that it should stop, which the unicorn slowed down a little little by little until he was face to face with the guards and the door.
''What do you want?'' Asked one of the guards.
''Oh well this ... I sent a letter to Princess Celestia requesting a request for an event with her, she accepted so I came all the way ... here hehe'' answered the guard's question with a nervous smile hoping not to make a mistake or a discontent in them.
''Do you have the letter of acceptance? Show it'' The guard demands.
''Oh sure'' the unicorn started looking in her bag for Celestia's letter but unfortunately she can't find the letter in her bag which made him even more nervous ''Uuuuuummm ... hehehehe ... heh ... it must be around here somewhere ...'' he starts to get alarmed and still keeps looking but without any success
''So?'' He asked again, impatiently
''Eeeeeeh… I think… I forgot it in my department… oops hehe'' he answered nervously.
''Without tests you will not be able to pass. Now leave before I do it myself!'' I demand the guard with great power.
The unicorn backed away in fear, even knowing that the guards would not harm him, but his imposing instinct made him retreat as if a dog were barking at a cat, intimidating it.
''Hell ... what was missing, now I left the letter in my apartment and it will take me 2 hours to come and go, I don't think I will have the time for my conference with Celestia'' admitted the unicorn who fell sitting on the ground admitting a little defeats her, closes her eyes and rubs her head as if trying to force her brain to think of a backup plan ''Come on brain, think think think!'' something touches his shoulder causing him to open his eyes and turn to look to the individual who interrupted in his thought
The Alicorn looked at him with a bit of pity but then she let out a smile filling the unicorn who weighed with hope that he was lost ''Come, follow me'' Twilight said to the unicorn as she walked towards the door where the guards had denied her happen
The unicorn, unaware of what Princess Twilight wants to do, has no choice but to follow her, both arrive at the door and obviously the guards, noticing the unicorn that they have just kicked out again, yell at him to leave but the generous Twilight made a He stopped this wake-up call and explained to the guards in a serious way that the unicorn was coming with her, the guards were confused by the sudden fact but did not offer any more excuses and then they apologized to open the huge door for both of them and Twilight He politely thanked the guards and Twilight and the unicorn entered the castle
''Thank you very much Princess ... '' The unicorn was about to call Twilight princess but she looked at him with some disgust as if reminding him not to call her princess '' eh ... ahem I mean, Twilight '' he corrected his mistake while smiling in a painful way
Twilight let out a smile of pleasure, she knew it was not a bad thing to be told or referred to as Princess Twilight, but for her it is something strange that her friends or at least with whom she relates or who she trusts call that because you think you feel superior to everyone, which you disagree, since no one is superior to others, we are all the same or at least that's how Twilight saw it
''For nothing'' finally answered Twilight ''And tell me more about that conference with Celestia, I am left curious'' said Twilight, interested in listening carefully to what the stud will tell her.
''Ehhhhhehehe well it's not a big deal, it's just a small project that I want to show Celestia that could benefit Equestria in many ways'' said the unicorn with some confidence in what he said.
''Oh wow! That sounds like something that will be very big'' said Twilight surprised, even she is imagining what they will both talk about when they get to the throne room
''Well that depends on whether Celestia agrees with my project and agrees on the rights to ... well ... create a company'' I reveal the unicorn with shame because although for him it is a dream that he wants to fulfill, it may sound silly or ridiculous for others, but for Twilight it did not seem ridiculous
''A company! Sounds interesting!'' Twilight said, even more curious than what the stud is telling her ''Do you think I could stay and watch your lecture? Today we were supposed to have our princess meetings and talk about some things like some events for the gallop gala and among others, but what you are costing me is much more important'’ admitted Twilight
''Wait, you mean you had a personal meeting between the two of you today? Well, if that's the case, I could come back later and let them have their reunion'' said the unicorn, feeling bad for interrupting his special hours for Twilight and Celestia.
''No no don’t worry, we can wait for you to do your lecture, Celestia won’t mind, believe me'' Twilight calmed the unicorn.
''Well ... in that case ... if you can be at the conference, Twilight'' replied the unicorn with a smile accepting her to invite her to her conference who automatically started jumping with joy because of how excited she is to see the stallion present to the princesses
╠═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╣
Both continued chatting to each other sharing various topics as they reached the corridor where the princesses are, Twilight wanted to continue asking him more about the project but she limited herself since she did not want to make the stallion nervous more than it already is. As strange as it may seem to her, it is not to get into this type of thing like company conferences and others since they thought they were more of the same, business, if there can be some things that mark a "BOOM" in Equestria but to the point to get to change it completely if not as a new addition to the daily life of the ponies without any benefit and it is not that he hates them rather he supports them but is not very interested, instead the unicorn has a lot of confidence in what it does and he knows that what he is about to offer is something great so I stop urging him to focus more on his moment. Being near the room they notice the two Sisters sitting on their throne so imposing and masterful
''Celestia! Luna!'' Twilight yelled at the sisters with excitement and ran away running to where they are until approaching the throne of them who automatically got up and down from their throne to be on the ground with Twilight
''Twilight Hello, welcome again'' Celestia said with a beautiful voice welcomed her favorite student
''Hello Twilight, how have you been?'' Said Luna who asked about the well-being of the Alicorn
''I'm fine, being a princess is exhausting and a bit uncomfortable from time to time ...'' Twilight affirmed while scratching her head ''But I like it in a way, I like that the ponies see me as an example to follow. improve himself'' said Twilight proudly putting a hoof on her chest
''Jmjmjm well, taking the role of Princess can be a heavy job, there are many things to occupy and represent the nation. But you get great rewards like seeing those smiles and eyes full of hope and full of a unique sparkle in the ponies in which they surround you'' said Celestia giving her other of those tips that she always tells her.
''You’re right princess, I’ll try harder every day to be a good Princess'' replied Twilight, inspired by the words of her teacher and second mother.
''By the way, who is the unicorn that accompanies you?'' Luna interrupted as she looked at the Unicorn who was watching them and now the gazes were aimed at the stallion who was ashamed that they were looking at him and only to move that side away for a moment He answered the gaze with a salute from his helmet
''The? He is my new friend, I met him on the way here, he is very nice'' replied Twilight with a smile.
''It seems nice'' added Luna.
''Hm… it gives me the feeling that I’ve seen you somewhere… have we met before?'' Asked the older Alicorn curiously.
''Oh no, your majesty, this is the first time and let me tell you that it is an honor to meet you both'' he bows as a sign of respect '' I introduce myself, my name is: Craft… Craft Motion '' revealed the stallion
''It’s a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Craft… wait, Craft Motion? Are you the unicorn that asked to have a meeting with me to present your project to me?'' Celestia asked, waiting for Craft's response to confirm her question.
''Indeed your majesty'' He replied confirming Celestia's intrigue and resumed his position ''Of course if you have time, from what Twilight has told me on the way here today they had their time to spend time together, so I could go back later'' I suggest Craft avoiding being a nuisance to the Princesses
''Don't worry, Mr. Craft, it's still early, Twilight, would you mind waiting a few minutes?'' Celestia asked her student.
''Sure! I would also like to see what you have to say, I am interested in your project with the little you have told me while we were heading here'' Twilight responded positively
''Well then it’s decided'' Celestia declared.
''Thank you very much really!'' Craft thanked 3 times and he was happy and excited, he turns around for a moment and whispers to himself ''Okay Craft, the moment has finally come, don't ruin it alone ...'' Craft breathes heavily and exhales softly and does the same thing again about 2 times ''Keep calm and stay strong, you've come so far for this''
''Umm… Craft?'' Twilight interrupted.
Craft turns around and laughs and starts to apologize for what he did ''cough cough cough ... Very good. I was thinking for a while ...'' as he spoke he began to walk around ''and I think now Equestria should be ready for a new beginning, new objects, supplies, mechanism, among others. So I gave myself the task of taking the first step and creating something that would help to have easy access to different things of the daily life of every pony in the world!'' He stopped for a moment and looked at the princesses and then at her suitcase that she had on the floor in front of them.
Then Craft began to approach his suitcase and opened it and then looked at the princesses ''Princesses, I would like to have the honor of presenting you my new invention'' with his magic he makes a very rare object float that at first glance looks like a table like cooking and shows them ''TA DA!'' ends that sentence with a smile
The three princesses were somewhat confused with what they are seeing, at first they had in mind what they were seeing but Craft showed a very confident face with what he was doing giving them a sign that what they see is not what they believe, there was a brief silence and Twilight ended up breaking it
''Wow ... it's so ... huh'' Twilight was trying to say something positive but she didn't know what to say since she had no idea what she was seeing or what she really wants to show, plus she was afraid to express what she believed that she was watching as she thinks it might hurt Craft's feelings but Luna wasn't as soft as she or Celestia were
''That seems a table like that for chopping vegetables, from those used in the kitchen'' Expreso Moon at what he saw and what he said you could tell he wanted an explanation
''I imagined it, I knew the three of them were thinking about it. But it is not true, at first glance it is but observe this'' with magic it makes it lift the cover of 'this table' and now it has a different shape. The object has a kind of dark glass in the filling it is covered although a little smaller than the size of the cover, and in the lower part it seems to have a kind of buttons that have several letters and strange signs marked, now the princesses if they they showed something surprised by the strange apparatus
''This is my new invention, my masterpiece. I call it: CyberPony'' makes the device come back a little closer to the Princesses so they can see it better.
''But how interesting'' Twilight said in surprise.
"It's not something I've seen for centuries" Celestia said with the same impression as Twilight.
''Yes, her design is something unique and particular in her style, but what does that have to do with what you said earlier?'' Luna asked, still curious.
''Also, how does it work?'' I added Twilight.
The Cyberpony flies back with Craft ''Well I'll explain, you just have to turn it on'' his horn shines with a little intensity and cast a spell creating a hand-shaped aura ''Okay ... here we go'' makes the hand press the power button ''Look at this'' shows the princesses how the device is turning on and how on the screen it shows an image of the name of the CiberPony model and its creator to then give the loading screen and show the desktop with its background.
The princesses were left open-mouthed with what they had just seen, this is something unusual and incredible to see, even the guards who accompanied them were impressed by such a thing existing in Equestria.
''What they saw was the loading screen of the CiberPony model and now what they see is the desktop, as you can see they have some interesting functions that I could teach them, but they are somewhat long and complex to explain so I'll get straight to the point'' Craft uses his magic and from his suitcase he takes out another something strange device that seems with several buttons and flashing lights ''This will be very useful'' press a red button and a green light illuminates ''If you wonder what these are called functions that the CiberPony brings, they could call it: Programs, and there is a specific one that is what I meant with the above said and it is the 'We Pony' '' he opens the program in the CiberPony and shows them
The Princesses are left speechless, and they only limit themselves to putting an expression of impression and impact before such a revolutionary invention for Equestria, they see on the monitor the program that has several functions that they do not know, in addition, they notice that an illustration of Celestia is shown with a day background and in the center showing the name of the program ''Web Equestria''
''An extra detail that I added to the program is that in real time, when it marks the exact time that Princess Luna has to raise the moon, the program will automatically change the image to the illustration of Luna, simulating that it is already from night, and the same thing happens when Celestia raises the sun. Well, this is what I mentioned earlier, with this program you can search for everything, literally everything, examples such as: Video sites, Information, Group Chat, Sending emails! WHATEVER! I would be mentioning to you all the time about the things that this creation has but it would take hours and I don't want to take time away but I think you have seen enough'' Finally Craft finished his monologue about his invention and closes the cover of the CyberPony making it turn off automatically his screen and then puts it in his suitcase ''Well ... what do you think?''
Princesses only stare at him with faces of impact and printing, they were still processing everything they had seen and so remained for a while.
''Eh… hehehehe go…. But what an awkward silence ...'' Craft was starting to get a little uncomfortable so she starts whistling so that Twilight surprisingly approaches Craft breaking her personal space little by little.
''How did you do that?! FROM WHERE?! OR AS?! My mind was fulminated seeing this ... thing! '' Twilight said, pointing to the CiberPony.
''Twilight is right Mr. Craft, your invention left us speechless. This is something very revolutionized for the era in which we are currently, your ambitious project can make everyday life simple for the other ponies'' said Celestia, praising Craft’s effort for his invention.
''I agree, that… ‘CyberPony’ will be a big change for all of Equestria'' I mention Luna.
''So… That means… are you going to collaborate on my project?'' Asked Craft, holding back the urge to cry from the emotion.
"Of course we will, count on us" Celestia said as she nodded her head.
Craft could not bear the excitement and happiness that he felt right now so he began to shed tears of success and before he collapsed in his happiness he said a few words ''Thank you very much. I promise you that I will not disappoint you''.
