Once upon a time, there was a very special unicorn, a bright unicorn. As bright as the sun. One day, she was summoned by the Princess for an assignment. To learn about friendship! She moved to Ponyville, and met earth ponies, unicorns, and pegasi, who became her best friends! Together, they taught the power of unity and how to live in harmony to everypony in Equestria. But then, one day, a magical accident happened. An earth pony got hurt by a unicorn. Everypony started fighting with each other...

However, there was another pony responsible for it all, one who took advantage of the ensuing chaos, who wasn't a pony at all, but an alicorn queen, fallen from Skyros. Her name was Opaline Arcana. She attacked Equestria, set on taking all of their magic for herself. They tried to beat her back, but she was too powerful...

So, the Princess, wanting to protect her kingdom and all of the ponies in it stole all the queen's magic and put all of the magic into three crystals before it got out of hoof...

Then, the Princess put an enchanted invisibubble around Equestria so the powerful queen could not find the magic or the kingdom of ponies again. The queen was left alone, with only a shadow left of her strength and power...

After that, earth ponies only felt safe with other earth ponies. Unicorns with unicorns, and pegasi of a feather flock together. The ponies galloped, trotted, and flew as far as they could with their crystals., settling in what would become Zephyr Heights, Briddlewood, and Maretime Bay...

But, a thousand years later, an earth pony who learned Twilight Sparkle's teachings from her father knew that earth ponies, unicorns, and pegasi could live in peace and she believed she could bring back magic. In her quest to do so, she made four amazing friends: earth ponies, unicorns, and pegasi, and together, they brought back magic and brought ponykind back together. The earth pony, who had united ponykind, was turned into an alicorn with golden wings and a golden horn. However, now that magic was brought back, the land of ponies was exposed once again to the evil alicorn queen...

However, Twilight expected this and put in a secret magical hologram message, for when the three crystals were brought back together, to warn the ponies of this evil alicorn so they could be prepared to fight together against her. Unfortunately, something went wrong with the spell and not the whole message was sent through, so they didn't know who the queen was or when she would strike...

Now that the queen could find Equestria again, she began to do whatever it took to get their magic. Using a young unicorn mare who she fillynapped when she was a young foal to mercilessly dragon-nap a baby dragon and betray the only ponies who were ever nice to her, she was able to—

"Whoa, Misty," Sunny interrupted Misty on her part of the back-and-forth storytelling she and Sunny were doing for the rest of their friends. "That's a bit harsh, don't you think? I mean—"

"Shh, Sunny." Pipp groaned, throwing her head back. "We're trying to listen and it's not your turn."

"Pipp! Seriously? Misty's clearly beating herself up—" Zipp started before she was interrupted by Pipp again.

"It's called good storytelling, making it dramatic to keep ponies at the edge of their hooves. Anyway, Misty knows we forgave her and that it's not her fault that Opaline dangled getting a cutie mark in front of her to do her bidding. Right, Misty?"

"Y-yeah." Misty stuttered, looking down, hoping her friends didn't see it for the lie it was. Because truth was, Misty didn't forgive herself and she knew it was her fault, despite what others told her.

"See? And if it bothers Sunny so much, she can exalt Misty when it's her turn, okay?"

"I don't really des—" Misty started, but again, Pipp interrupted.

"Misty, get back to the story. All this talking is ruining it."

"Um...r-right. Where was I?" Misty paused but then remembered. "R-right. Anyway...

Using a young unicorn mare who she fillynapped when she was a young foal to mercilessly dragon-nap a baby dragon and betray the only ponies who were ever nice to her, she was able to—

"Misty stop." At Pipp's glare, Sunny continued. "Sorry, Pipp, I just can't sit by while Misty's being so hard on herself. It's not right. She didn't mean to betray us and she was blackmailed by the evil pony who raised her. Misty is making herself out to be the bad pony and it's not right.

"Fine fine, whatever you say, Sunny. It's late and I need my beauty sleep. Misty, reword it differently, okay. Don't be so harsh with your wording."

Misty: R-right. O-okay. Back to the story...

Using a young unicorn mare who she fillynapped when she was a young foal to trick into dragonapping a baby dragon and forcing her to betray the only ponies who were ever nice to her, she was able to gain enough dragon fire to become powerful again. So powerful, that when the golden alicorn and her friends came to save the baby dragon, she was able to trap them...

But, the young unicorn mare realized the error in the alicorn queen's ways and set the golden alicorn and her other friends free, gaining a cutie mark and a friendship with the golden alicorn and her friends...

However, the dragon fire from the baby dragon was all the fire alicorn needed to make her powerful enough to kidnap two full-grown dragons to gain more dragon fire using an ancient relic called the dragon stone. Using that, and the two dragons the young unicorn mare unknowingly helped her capture, the alicorn queen went back to Equestria and stole all the cutie marks and their cutie mark magic from the ponies. All except one...

Sacrificing her new cutie mark, the young unicorn mare distracted her lifelong tormentor long enough for the golden alicorn to escape. The bravery, courage, and sacrifice the young mare showed inspired the golden alicorn to do the same. So, she went to Opaline's lair alone to end this once and for all. But, she wasn't alone, because she had her friends in her heart, and together, they could do anything...

So the united ponies band together around the Together Trees in hopes of using their unity magic through the roots of the trees to strengthen the golden alicorn in her fight against the evil alicorn queen...

And guess what? It did. If it wasn't for the unity magic of all of Equestria, the golden alicorn wouldn't have been able to defeat Opaline. And now, with Opaline defeated, Equestria lives in peace and harmony once again.

"Yay! You completed your final unicorn ritual in a traditional unicorn sleepover." Izzy exclaimed with a yawn.

"Really! What's next?" Misty exclaimed, excited for her first traditional unicorn sleepover, done right.

"Next is sleep," Izzy said, reading all of their minds. "Goodnight girls. Goodnight Hitch. Goodnight Sparky."

"'Night" All of them replied, all of them except Misty.

Misty slowly laid down on her pillow, cuddling her pile of junk she named Madam Taphietails, mumbling Oh. Okay. Goodnight." None of her friends could hear the fear in Misty's voice.

Author's Note

Just in case you were wondering:

Orange= Sunny

Blue= Misty

And if you can't see the color for whatever reason, during the story, the two characters switch off every paragraph, starting with Sunny, unless said otherwise.
