My Little Pony: Reversed Roles
Season 1: Episode 1 - Her First Day
Previous ChapterNext ChapterCelestia was taken in as Twilight's personal student after her whole entrance exam moment. The white unicorn left her room; the pheonix that she hatched from the egg at her entrance exam flying over her.
Celestia soon encountered an orange earth Pony outside her door.

"Howdy there, sugarcube." The Earth Pony said.
"I remember you; your that earth pony that's on the High Council." Celestia said.
"Glad ta see yer memory's intact. Ma name's Applejack. It's nice to meet ya." Applejack said.
"It's um...nice to meet you too.” Celestia said.
"Twilight wanted me to help you through finding yer way around yer first few days at her school. She doesn't want ya getting lost around here after all." Applejack said.
"That's nice of her." Celestia said. Applejack was true to her words and helped Celestia into her first class where she was assigned a seat next to a rather pink-ish unicorn.

"Hi. My name is Luster Dawn." Luster Dawn said to Celestia.
"Err...hi there." Celestia said. "Sorry, I'm a bit nervous around ponies that are new to me." She added.
"That's okay." Luster Dawn said. Moondancer from the High Council entered.

"Hey, why is a High Council Member teaching this class on Magic History?" One of the female students asked.
"I'll have you know that we High Council Members do have a day job. Otherwise, we would never be able to continue representing the common pony." Moondancer said.
"Duh!" Luster Dawn said. "Anyone could've guessed that." She added.
"That's a bit...rude..." Celestia said.
"Agreed. Luster Dawn, please refrain from saying things like that." Moondancer said. Luster growled a bit but shrugged it off. She supposed she did come off as a bit rude without meaning to do so.
"Now then, I know it's a bit sudden on everyone first day, but for a pop quiz question, can someone tell me the names of the five mares who helped Princess Twilight establish the high council?" Moondancer asked.
"I know!" Luster Dawn spoke up. Celestia didn't know the answer.
"Okay Luster Dawn, what are their names, professions, and pony race?" Moondancer asked.
"Their names are Rarity, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Applejack, and Pinkie Pie. Rarity makes Princess Twilight's various royal dresses, Rainbow Dash is the current Captain of the Wonderbolts, Fluttershy owns an Animal Sanctuary, Applejack signs off on the produce sold at the Canterlot Markets, and Pinkie Pie organizes the Grand Galloping Gala each year. As for their races, Rarity is a Unicorn, Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy are Pegasi, and Applejack and Pinkie Pie are Earth Ponies." Luster Dawn said.
"Very well done Luster Dawn. Your very well studied." Moondancer said.
"But of course I am. I am the favorite to become a student of Princess Twilight's someday." Luster Dawn said.
"Please no boasting in the classroom, Luster Dawn." Moondancer said. Luster Dawn sighed. "As Luster Dawn has stated, those five ponies helped establish the High Council, but only two of those ponies actually serve on it. Can someone tell me which two?" Moondancer asked.
"I know this one! It's Rainbow Dash and Applejack right?" The female unicorn from before said.
"That's correct. Despite the others helping Princess Twilight create the High Council, only Rainbow Dash and Applejack were chosen to help represent common ponies. While Fluttershy did vie for a spot, she didn't make it past the primary voting stage and thus what would've been her spot went to Rainbow Dash instead." Moondancer explained.
"Wait Fluttershy didn't make it past the primary vote?!" Luster Dawn exclaimed, as if this was news to her.
"Well yes. I thought that was common knowledge?" Moondancer said, though was confused at Luster Dawn's reaction.
"But...but my mom voted for..." Luster Dawn said. "N-no!" She said and stormed out of the classroom.
"...Oh dear." Celestia said.
"Not to worry; Shining Armor will bring her back here shortly." Moondancer said. Sure enough, a white Unicorn royal guard soon brought in Luster Dawn who was in his magic.
"Someone tried to leave their first class huh?" the Stallion in question asked.

"Luster Dawn, why did you react so badly to the news Fluttershy lost the primary vote?" Moondancer asked. Luster Dawn wouldn't answer. "Luster Dawn, if you won't tell me the truth, I will have no choice but to give you detention." Moondancer warned.
"Alright alright I'll tell you! My mother voted for Fluttershy." Luster Dawn said.
"No one is ever happy that the one they were rooting for loses so badly. But that's the way things happen I'm afraid." Moondancer said. "I will be reporting your little stunt to Twilight Sparkle all the same." She added.
"No! Please no! I'll do extra credit if you don't do that." Luster Dawn said.
"Well...I suppose this was only your first actual incident. I suppose I can overlook this this one time. So long as you go the rest of the day without any further incidents. Got that?" Moondancer asked.
"Got it..." Luster Dawn said.
Luster Dawn took Moondancer's word to heart and had no further incidents that day so Princess Twilight was never told by Moondancer about her little incident.
Unfortunatly, Luster Dawn forgot about Shining Armor.
"...I see. Thank you for telling me. I will keep this in mind for later." Princess Twilight told Shining Armor.
"...You still miss her, right?" Shining Armor asked.
"Of course I do Captain; she was the love of my life." Twilight said.
"Please big sis, you don't have to be like that...not around your baby brother." Shining Armor said.
"Sorry. I sometimes forget we're alone when I talk with you." Princess Twilight said. "Hard to believe you were born not too long after I defeated Discord. Shame about mother and father though." She added.
"Are you sure you did the right thing regarding Discord?" Shining Armor asked.
"I did. And I don't regret it." Twilight said. "Besides, Sunset agreed." She added.
"I see. I'll be back on my rounds then." Shining Armor said and left.
"...I know your listening to this. I do hope that wasn't your handiwork." Twilight said now that she was alone.
"Now Princess Twilight Sparkle, you should know I've been doing well with the whole controlled chaos thing." A male voice spoke up.
"So if you didn't cause Luster Dawn's reaction...you mean to tell me she was genuinely upset?" Princess Twilight asked.
"Right on the money your highness. So, what are you planning to do with that information?" The voice answered back.
"I will keep in mind in case this doesn't become an isolated incident. Luster Dawn is a hopeful as a second student. But if she has too many of these, I will have no choice but to drop her from the school." Princess Twilight said. A mysterious new figure appeared in the room.

"Well I will keep an eye out as well for further incidents. Especially the ones that can fly under the radar of your teachers, your students, and your guards. Consider this a way of saying that I am sorry for what happened with your parents. I wish I knew..." The figure said.
"What happened to them was not your fault. Your magic may have let it happen, but you can't be held responsible for an accident like that." Princess Twilight said. "So even though your magic made it possible to have happen, you had no hand in what actually happened, Discord." She said.
"Still, I won't rest until I feel like I've made up for my magic having been the cause of what happened. It's my way of saying that I am sorry. I never meant to hurt anyone." Discord said.
"I know." Twilight said.
Author's Note
So in case it wasn't too obvious, those who were parents of the main 6 are fillies right now. On top of this, you may have already noticed in the prologue's extra chapter, Rainbow Dash is the captain of the wonderbolts while Spitfire is still just a filly. Additionally, the one who Luster Dawn replaces is not Moondancer despite this initial encounter between her and Celestia. You'll see what role she plays a bit later on. Additionally, the rest of the main 6 do not retain their roles as the elements, but a new main 6 will include the mothers of Rarity and Applejack while also including Mrs. Cake as Pinkie Pie's replacement. While the parents of the rest of the main 6 will still be making an appearance later as non-married mares, to better "mirror" the roles from the original timeline, Spitfire has taken Rainbow Dash's place as the Element of Loyalty while Luna will be Kindness. I know Luna is a stretch technically, but it was the only way to go about including Luna as a part of the main 6 without adding an entirely different element of Harmony. Besides, in case it wasn't obvious from the Prologue's Extra Episode, Spitfire is the one whose going to be the Wonderbolt hopeful of this story where roles are reversed.
Though if Discord not being made a statue and Twilight's Parents dying in an accident is a shock to you too, well my friends, the storm has only just began my friends. The storm has only just began...
