//-------------------------------------------------------// We're Ponies? Cool. -by Equally_Unequality- //-------------------------------------------------------// //-------------------------------------------------------// New World, Neat. //-------------------------------------------------------// New World, Neat. Equestria, the land of freedom, rich for its beautiful sceneries and wonderful creatures that work together to bring peace and harmony everywhere. The Everfree forest, a place where unnatural things happen such as plants, clouds, and etc. move on their own. And here we see two befuddled ponies looking at their surroundings almost as if they just awoken from their deep slumber. "... I'm dreaming, I have to be." The taller, older looking mare spoke as her eyes twitched just seeing everything. "If you are, then we're both having the same dream, at the same time, almost as we're sharing the same dream." The shorter, much younger one replied back, also looking at the surroundings with a mix of surprise and anticipation in her eyes. The taller mare slowly looked at the young one and made her feel uneasy just looking at her. "...is that you Julian?" She asked the younger one, which startled the tiny pony a bit before looking at the older one with her rose colored eyes with a raised eyebrow. "And you must be Cale?" Julian didn't answer the question but instead replied by asking her own question to the older pony. Cale didn't answer, which answered Julian's question. Both sighed in with the older one being a more tired tone unlike the younger one being a bit more of a relief. Cale was first to talk, "okay, we are both horses, or rather, ponies. And we both are stuck in what seems like a dark, gloomy feeling, unnatural forest with what seems to have no way out, correct?" "Yes, that's right." Julian nodded in confirmation after rechecking their surroundings again. "We're both ponies." "Uh huh." "Stuck in what seems to be a very dangerous place." "Just get to the point, big bro." "Right..." Cale took a deep breath, before she started exclaiming at her little sister rather loudly, "Why here of all the multiverse..!" "Hey hey, stop right there bro." Julian took a hoof up, stopping her brother-turned-mare from continuing, "this place is much better than anywhere else in the vast majority of the entire multiverse, this place is full of harmony and peace! Ain't that cool?" Cale didn't reply but nodded in agreement, yeah, this place is much better rather than ending up in a universe full of… deadly surprises. "But let's put that thought aside for a bit, how do I look? Aren't I beautiful?" Julian took a spin as she admired her light lime colored fur with her rose red color short mane and long tail, she then looked at her brother turned sister. "You're as ugly as before, it seems." "Hey! Well, why don't you look at yourself, black and white color scheme like you're some kind of an emo kid!" She pointed at Cale's new body, which made Cale looked at her fur and hair. And as Julian's described it, she does look like an emo, black short mane with a long tail with the same color, white colored fur and unlike Julian's, her body seems to be more fluff than usual. Cale frowned, not because of what was just described, but because of a fact she didn't realize much earlier. She is a girl. "I feel like Fate is mocking me by making me a girl..." She frowned even more when she heard her little sister trying to hold her laugh. "This is a bit better than whatever your new form looks like y'know, I'm taller and, uh, prettier?” She frowned more when her little sister was laughing at her loudy now. “Atleast I don't stand out too much, but you? Oh my, I wanna see how much you can handle before locking yourself in a room, again.” Julian countered, making Cale groaned in frustration before giving up, Cale then started to look around. "Alright, OC, what should we do now? You watched the show before and I can barely remember any of these places.” Julian frowned at the nickname, making Cale slightly grin before it disappeared. Julian just sighed before replying back. "Well... It's really simple, we'll just have to find a way out of the Everfree forest and find a way to locate ponyville and find a way to live there so we can find a way to relax." "That's too many ‘find a way’." "Stop complaining, let's go." "Do you even know where we are and how to find the right path?" Julian paused before looking around again, there wasn't anything that clue them a path but staying wouldn't make their chances at escaping higher. "Well, uh... We're clearly in the everfree forest, but I don't know which part of the forest we're currently in, but we can't just stay right? The chances for us to escape this forest is higher when wandering right? "Or get lower and lower chance of finding help..." Cale mumbled under her breath before reluctantly agreeing to her idea. Julian just rolled her eyes, shaking her head before muttering, "even in this new life, you're just as lazy as before." They then started to move, in hope of finding the exit out of the forest. They've been walking for hours now and yet, they're still not in a state of hunger, they've been distracting eachother by talking about random topics while walking in hope to find some trails out of these woods. "That's not what i said, i said i fell down-" "No, i literally saw you jump in a puddle of mud thinking it's some kind of a portal to another world." "Uh- eh, well atleast I'm not the idiot who left their phone always open thinking some digital hand will come out and drag them to another world!" "Atleast mine made some sense." "That's not- how does that make sen-?!" "Hold that thought." Cale put a hoof on Julian's mouth, which the latter quickly swatted it away, Cale then pointed at the path towards them. "I can hear the sound of a river over there." They hurried over to check it out, and it turns out what she said was true, a river can be seen Infront of them with the waves going elegantly, on the other side, a path can be seen. Cale looked around, trying to find if there is some kind of a bridge that'll let them cross over. "No bridge in sight..." Cale muttered while narrowing her eyes, she then sighed before sitting down, looking at her little sister. "Alright, OC, any kind of plans you got thinking 'bout?" She asked as Julian groaned at the nickname but replied anyway. "Well... No, but I'm pretty sure I saw this exact place in the show, to be precise, at some part in episode one or two..." She stared at the river, trying to remember the exact scene from the show. "Great, now that you mentioned it, what episode are we currently in?" Cale looked up in the sky and the big round star itself which nighttime is nearing. "I don't know, we are at the Everfree forest, there really aren't that many hints that show which timeline we're currently in." Julian replied as she tried to reach the water with her tiny hoof, in which she was only able to touch some tiny bit of water. Julian frowned at the length of her tiny body before adding more to say, "the only clue we can have is at night time to see if the mare on the moon is still, well, on the moon." "If I remember correctly, the moon is supposed to have the face of a pony, right?” "Only at the first and second episode since twilight and her friends save her from eternal darkness." "Ah, okay... So if the moon mare face isn't up there..." "Then we are clearly not at the first episode nor the second one. But, if the paint is still up there..." Julian made a hissing while looking at the uncomfortable noise. "Yeah... I'm not dealing with that, let's just get out of here and just leave it up to the main characters to do their job." Cale's ear subconscious started to rise up as if she's starting to think something, Julian saw it but didn't quite get it as she started to ask her big brother-turned-mare a question. "Yup, so I'll ask you this, do you know how to swim, big bro or big sis?" Julian looked at her brother who was sitting rather lazily, trying to find some comfort. Cale just looked at her with a mix of lazy and deadpan look, didn't even say anything as the silence already answered Julian's question. Julian just sighed while looking down. "I know, I'm just asking..." "I'll ask the same question to you too." She looked up before starting to exclaim, "Well of course I can! I'm not lazy like you!" She grinned rather big before looking at her brother-now-sister rolling her eyes. "Your human form, maybe, but now?" Julian's grin faltered a bit before looking at her own body. "Well... Walking in all four was easy to do, so... maybe?" Cale just rolled her eyes. "I rather not see my dumb sister die like a dumbass." "Hey!" Julian glared at her careless and nonchalant sister who just continues to sit comfortably while she's here looking for ways to get across the river. Her older sister just ignored her and instead said, "well, it's going to get dark soon, let's just make a shelter somewhere." Cale got up, almost forgot she's no longer human and stumbled a bit before going all four, she shrugged before entering the forest again. "Hey! Where are you going?!" Julian quickly followed her sister. "If i remember correctly, there is some hidden castle that used to be ruled by the princesses, let's just find that and camp there." "Oh, I guess you remember some parts of the show." She commented which her older sister just nodded. "Of course, I used to be a fan, or a brony is what you fandom now call it." He replied at her little sister which she giggled a bit at the reply. It's been a while and they are still somehow not hungry, they been traversing the area, with Julian's more but still limited knowledge of the area and Cale's expert at stealthiness to avoid some dangerous creatures lurking around the forest they finally made their way to the bridge which on the other side is the castle of the sisters is seen. "Finally, after nearly getting caught by that weird lion, we finally reach this place." "It's a manticore, actually." "Shut up, let's just go." Infront of them is a wooden bridge, looking like it's gonna break any moment now. "Welp, you go first sis." Cale pushed her little sister in front, which she flinched at because she didn't expect it. "What?! You want me to die?!" She frantically shouted at her older sister who looked at her with her usual lazy look. "You got wings, you'll be okay." She pointed at the two pair wings at Julian's side, which she groaned. "What about you? Can't you just use levitation magic with that horn of yours?" She pointed at Cale's head, the latter froze. "I have a horn?" Upon reaching her head, she felt a bit of a bump, which confirmed that she does, indeed, have a horn. Julian blinked, "you didn't know?" Which cale's response was a shrug. "No… but, uh, I still can't use magic yet, so... Uh, you're smaller, a lot less heavier than me, meaning the chances for the bridge to fall is minimal at best, you'll be safe, and if I learned a lot of things on the internet, fear can make you learn how to fly fast if you fell down." Cale yapped which Julian had some hard time understanding. "I... What? Y-you were never good at social speaking, dear brother." Cale's eye twitched a bit before just saying, "Just go... I'll save you somehow if you fail this little task, I'll follow after you're done." Upon seeing Cale's glare, which translates to stubbornness, Julian had no choice but be the first to cross the wavy bridge. Upon just putting her hoof on it, a plank broke, almost making her lose balance. She quickly looked back at her older sister in slight panic. Cale just put a hoof up, upon seeing Julian's confused look, she puts up another hoof up, Julian can only translate the gesture as a thumbs up in reassurance, which didn't really do anything. Sighing, Julian took another step and the plank held on, it didn't break, she took another step, and another, she repeated this process until she was on the other side. Julian collapsed on the ground, just breathing heavily. "Good job sis! I knew you could do it!" Her older sister shouted from the other side which just made her hissed in frustration. "Your turn now, idiot!" Cale froze, before taking a deep breath and stepped in. Step... Step, another step.. and another, did i forget to mention that he took another step? And another. She was almost at the end, Julian held her breath as Cale took another step on another plank, it broke which made the both flinched but it wasn't enough to destroy the bridge, both sighed in relief as Cale finally made it to the other side. "Y'know... If my plan isn't going to work, we will actually die here because I'm not going through that again." She commented as she sat down to relax, Julian raised an eyebrow. "You made a plan?" Cale chuckled before closing her eyes, "well, no, it's more like I'm relying on Fate for this to happen." "What are you talking about?" "Just wait, I just hope what I wanted to happen is going to happen." Julian sighed as her big sister wasn't going to explain it at all. "Let's head to the castle now, shall we?" The day was going to end soon and night was about to begin. After walking a bit, they finally reach the castle, which they comment about it being bigger than they imagine or seen in the show. They finally settled in, making a fire to warm when night rises. The day finally sets out and the moon is starting to rise up and what they see is... "The mare on the moon..." Julian said as she sees the moon still has the black paint of a mare, which confirmed they're here before the first episode, she looks at it with hidden anticipation. Cale just smiled for an unknown reason. "Step one of the plan, complete." She muttered, Julian heard her mutter but didn't understand any of it, so she just let it go for now. They then spend their night talking about random topics again, Cale doesn't seem to want Julian to be sleeping which she wasn't complaining about since both of them weren't that tired yet.. Cale groaned, "for the last time... I didn't know!" Julian rolled her eyes. "If you didn't know, then how did you find it?! I swear I hid it at the most hidden spot possible." "... And your 'hidden spot' happens to be under my cabinet?" "Of course! You don't even bother checking it down the-" the air suddenly got cold, both ponies felt it and had to check the moon again. The painting was gone, it was now only the white moon. "Welp... Looks like Fate just saved us." Cale commented as she started to get up and removed the fire. "W-wait what- this was your plan?! And what do you mean Fate saved us?! This is dangerous! We're at the danger zone, oh my fu-" She panicked before following her older sister. "Well, yeah, if the show goes the way it is, luna's gonna come here, those six are gonna come in, save luna, and then they are gonna save us, all without us doing the hard work, awesome plan, am i right?" "... That is the most riskiest and stupidest plan ever y'know." "Eh, it'll turn out the best, y'know." Cale shrugged before Julian started stuttering. "B-but, what if-" she was then cut off by her older sister. "Shut up, don't think about the what ifs, just think about the original plot." That calmed her a bit "You're right, let's just call dow-" she, again, was cut off by an ominous feeling going around them, looking everywhere, they could see clouds of purple smoke started to appear, both started to pale and bolted out of the castle. When suddenly both were stopped, they couldn't move at all, it was as if magic was at play, both of them gulped as both of them were forced to turn around by magic and can see a single individual. Nightmare moon. 'ah shit.' was the only thing on both of their mind right now. //-------------------------------------------------------// Nightmare Moon, Nice. //-------------------------------------------------------// Nightmare Moon, Nice. If you asked Cale a question about possibilities, he'd probably explain it in the most unorthodox way possible. Waking up just to find your day ruined by a hard-to-miss fire near your house and now you have to deal with it so you can continue living your lazy life? Very specific but is still possible to happen (or did it already happen?) Taking a walk and out of nowhere, a crab suddenly pinched you very hard in the leg that caused it to bleed, swollen and possibly infected and later found out the nearby zoo was testing something when crabs suddenly escaped their containment? Again, specific but still possible. Waking up in a middle of a forest you may be familiar with, realizing your little sister happens to be here too but it turns out both of you are ponies now and must traverse out of this forest before it kills you, found a river you can't cross, located the previous castle of the two sisters, and when it turned night now you realized that the first episode of the show you used to watched was happening in this very day, tried to leave to avoid getting too involved, froze midair because magic is at play and is now facing an alicorn that can kill you with just a stomp? ...Also specific, but it's apparently NOT impossible, why? Because that said event happened and right now they're facing that very alicorn that can possibly kill you and personally remove any remaining atoms you have left just for fun. Nightmare moon. Now, Cale expected what kind of appearance the Nightmare incarnation has based on his remaining knowledge of the first and second episode, Black colored fur, snake-like eyes, a flowing mane and tail that is the color of a blue night, those obvious things And as Cale continues to observe the princess of the night, what she wasn't too far from what she described, Black fur, blue mane/tail, snake eyes, but Cale also noted that she was a bit more detailed, easier to see unlike what she remembered in the show where she, like everyone and everything else, are very saturated. Cale should have noticed earlier when she woke up for the first time and didn't feel any type of flashbang entering her eyes. It also seems like she is actually terrifying due to the aura she’s giving, it’s full of darkness, resentment, hatred, those things.. And before Cale could even dwell deeper in her thought a voice spoke, the tone of the voice can be interpreted to a sound that is so menacing and strikes fear to those weak-hearted and would've fallen already. But this didn't work for Cale as she just mentally shrugged it off, but she is bothered for some reason… "Oh? What do we have here? Two ponies wandering around in some places, like in my old castle? We can't have that now, can we?" She spoke slowly as she chuckled in a noticeable dark tone as she glared deeply in Cale's lazy yet focused gaze, speaking with a more authoritative tone. "tell me, who are you two." Glancing at her side, Cale can see her little sister, Julian, calm yet shaky look, unlike her big brother (turned mare), Cale, there are some subtle hints of fear in her eyes but she continues to remain calm. Her eyes the began to move onto Cale's direction, she didn't speak but Cale knew what she's trying to say. ‘There is nothing I can do yet, it's up to you for now.’ Cale personally hates being the responsible one and would rather sleep for 3 days at best than start being productive, but in these types of situations, Cale doesn't have any other options. Cale opened her mouth before an idea came to her head, she then started speaking with a small smile and formal look. Julian caught the expression and can only sigh at her as she's starting to turn on what Julian calls it ‘Unorthodox Mode’. "The Mare on the Moon, Nightmare Moon, Equestria's future queen of darkness and eternal night, why-ever did you grace us with your presence and ask such a question! We, your future slav- uh, humble servants, are not worthy enough to be caught by your attention as we, the lowly beings, just happen to stumble across this beautiful castle and we were too stupid to realize such a place can only belong to you! Please forgive us for intruding on your castle as we should have gathered more knowledge about this place…” As Cale finished her over-exaggerated response, the area then fell into silence, only a brief groan can be heard, nothing can really say anything at the moment. On the outside, Cale's current expression can only be seen as neutral and calm, on the inside, Cale let out a satisfying smirk, he hates being responsible so he'll be irresponsible in the most responsible way. Julian wanted to face-hoove right about now but due to the magic of the alicorn princess, all she could was roll her eyes. Even in such a scenario, her brother always finds a way to be cleverly stupid. Nightmare Moon continued to be speechless, In all her life she has never seen anything like this before, she was still comprehending everything and her magic faltered a bit, which allowed the two ponies to be descended to the ground but the two didn't attempt to escape as they knew better than try to flee to a powerful alicorn. This pony Infront of her doesn't even show an inch of fear, Nightmare Moon can feel when someone is showing fears even at subtle level, she can feel the little filly's fear next to the one Infront of her, and she was impressed by how much she can hide it but no matter how much you hide it, Nightmare Moon can still the fear even if it's just a drip of it. The pony Infront of her? None, absolutely nothing, she isn't pretending to be brave or is brave enough to prevent herself from falling in fear, no, the pony Infront of her right now doesn't even a pinch of a drop of fear. Nightmare Moon seemed to have gained some interest in this particular pony. ”You. Speak your name right now or face my punishment.” Nightmare Moon glared at Cale as Cale quickly turned her gaze towards the princess's eyes before starting to speak. “Ah, your majesty, the future ruler of the throne, forgive me as I'm not deserving enough to gain this much attention, my name is…” Cale paused, she knew this was going to happen in the future so she planned in advance. “My name is Selena, Selena Star.” Nightmare Moon's expression became more thoughtful, Cale smiled a bit before pulling her little sister to her side.. “And this little filly here, my sister, her name is… Rose, Rose Flower.” an unreadable expression can be seen on Julian's face, Nightmare Moon's expression became unreadable for the both of them, Julian looked at her with an hidden sadness because she knew why, she looked at her big brother (turned mare) only to realize she's looking at the alicorn with the same look, She didn't expect her brother to remember her backstory. Everyone's thoughts were put aside because of a sudden gust of wind. Nightmare Moon felt something as she scowled, she then started to lighten up her horn and with a flash of light, all three of them were teleported to another part of the castle. Both ponies felt a bit sick because of the sudden teleport, Nightmare Moon glared at the both of them before starting another spell. Both were alarmed as dark particles started to build up and started making a sphere enough to fit both inside, Nightmare Moon's voice then can be heard outside the small domain. ”You two are more interesting than I thought, especially you, the black and white one. So I might as well put the two of you on hold as those ponies are more stubborn than I thought, I have to deal with them personally… or test them.” Then the voice disappeared, leaving the duo silent. Julian got up in four and smacked the wall of the sphere to see if there's any reaction. Nothing happened, the only thing she can note was that Nightmare Moon made this thing sturdy enough to not easily break, even when using magic. Julian then looked at her nonchalant sister laying down comfortably. Cale can feel the gaze from her little sister and begins talking, Julian doesn't need to say anything as she knows Cale already knows what she's going to say. “It's not like we can do anything for the moment, I am still unable to use magic, you can't fly- but I don't even know how's that going to help even if you know how to, all we have to do is just leave them alone, let the script play itself, those six are going to save us at any moment now.” Julian gave a look of uncertainty before replying. “But, what if the plot changed just because we interacted with Nightmare Moon?” Cale then looked at her sister with her usual lazy eyes. “I'm sure Fate is gonna play at some point, if things change, I'm sure we'll still be okay since Luna's opponents are the main characters.” “If you say so…” And so, both began to relax in their trapped state as Nightmare Moon began to give the ponies going to the castle some trials just like in the episode. …And they are still not hungry- how? It's been a while since both were still in the sphere, both did everything that was available to do to avoid getting bored. Like chatting, talking about random topics. “And that is basically the summary of Five Nights at Freddy.” “You- that wasn't even a summary! It was like a full explanation but with time skips!” “Yes, a summary.” “...” Played some rock paper scissors… “Rock paper scissors!” Julian shouted while Cale spoke with a gentle lazy tone. And to this day, Cale still doesn't know how she lost a rock paper scissors when both had hooves. It took a while but both's sanity were slipping away slowly. “We're cooked, we are absolutely beautifully stupidly Overpoweredly cooked.” “Just… just shut up Cale…” both were lying down on the floor, Cale looked like she couldn't move at all. Both stopped when they felt strong magic suddenly spiked up, the magic barrier faltered a bit before fixing itself once again. Both were alarmed but didn't leave their spot, Cake because she's too lazy to stand up and is she were to stand up now, her body might collapse to the floor, Julian didn't because she knew the scene from the show is happening. “This is the part where Nightmare Moon teleported to another part of the castle to gather the elements and destroy, Twilight dragged herself in and is now facing Nightmare Moon.” Julian explained as she imagined the scene from the show right outside the dark bubble prison. “The question is why did she teleport here and not in some part of the castle.” Cale began to think before quickly shaking her head. “Eh, the question isn't gonna be answered since we know how this is going to end.” Julian nodded in agreement as they began to relax. “Also I might have realized something now.” Cale began to talk again, Julian looked at her with a raised eyebrow. “This is a major episode.” Julian didn't quite get it. Yes, she knows this is one of the many major episodes but she didn't quite realize what Cale is trying to imply. “Basically, we can't interact because of one wrong move and everything might change, like Celestia not being able to meet her sister once again or some shit.” Julian then realized what Cale is trying to say. “You mean…” “Yes. We were lucky enough to not mess up the script too much.” The ground suddenly shaked a bit, Julian realized this is the part where Nightmare Moon broke the elements, but the two were currently preoccupied so they brushed it off before continuing. “Oh thank… Celestia? Whatever, we didn't mess it up enough to possibly make the world implode into nothingness. Didn't know you cared, ‘Selena’.” Julian grinned when she said the fake name, Cale was not bothered a bit at that. “I don't. I'm just making sure my future lazy life is still possible, this is your fantasy world, not mine.” Julian giggled a bit at that, even in present or old life, Cale is still the same, trying to achieve the life she wants, not caring about anyone else except her little sister and some other individuals. Both of the ponies then felt a resonating magic outside, it can describe as peaceful, happiness, harmony. “Hey… you said we can't mess with any major episodes, does that mean..?” “Yes, you can continue to act like an idiot anytime as long as it doesn't affect my future.” Julian chuckled, the flashing light was starting to crack the seal they were trapped in, Julian smiled. “Y’know… it's really in this type of situation that you can finally say…” Then the light broke the seal as a rainbow started to engulf them. “Think Fast, Chucklenut!” “You and your stupid memes.” The flashing light then engulfed the entire room. … Both started to open their eyes… and Cale's first action was to smack Julian's head from behind. “Ow! Hey!” “Stop being cringe, it's killing me.” The look Cale was giving wasn't one of joking matter, No, she was absolutely serious. Both then started looking at their surroundings, and as Cale suspected, six ponies were currently lying down, unconscious. Julian took one look and her excitement was at an all time high, Cale lightly bonked Julian's head continuously to try to control her emotions. Cale sat down before speaking, “patience, they'll wake up eventually and it's your lucky day… night, because you are doing the explanation.” Julian looked at her sister in deadpan before sighing. Slowly but surely, everyone started to wake up and stand up. “Ugh… my head…” a cyan with a rainbow mane put her hoof to her head to steady herself. “Is everypony alright?” Asked by a pony in orange fur with light yellow mane with a cowboy hat, the rest seemed to hear it as they gave their version of a yes. “Rainbow dash and applejack…!” Julian whisper-shouted as Cale began to move Julian and herself away from attention to let those six comprehend everything first. “Oh, thank goodness..!” The white fur with a purple mane started to hug her tail which without context is confusing, Cale doesn't remember but Julian does. The mare in a cream fur and pink tall mane started to speak but it was so quiet that Cale and Julian couldn't hear it. “I know! I will never part with it again!” The white fur with purple mane continues to tightly hug her tail, but the cream one doesn't seem to be talking about her tail, rather, her necklace, the purple one gasped and stopped hugging her tail. “What?” The purple one said as she looked at her cream colored friend, who also has a necklace, “Ooh. So does yours.” The cream one gasped. “Look at mine! Look at mine!” The pink one jumped joyfully as she showed her necklace too. Rarity, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie..!” Julian was nearly at the verge of collapsing if it weren't for Cale's repeated smack (lightly) from behind. Rainbow dash admired her necklace as applejack began talking to twilight. “Gee, Twilight! I thought you were just spoutin' a lot of hooey, but I reckon we really do represent the elements of friendship.” Applejack scratched her head with her hoof. ’I wanna vomit.’ Cale thought, even though she likes the show, she forgot how many cringe lines this show has. Twilight was about to speak when a voice in a tone of elegance and peace was spoken. “Indeed you do.” The sun rose as a flash of light happened and the pony who emerged was none other than the very princess of the sun. Celestia. Everyone began to bow to the sun goddess, Juliam, too, bowed just to show respect while Cale didn't because it takes effort just to refix her position. Celestia began walking towards twilight, making a quick side glance towards Cale and Julian before looking back at her student, it seems like Celestia was the first to notice both's presence. Twilight and Celestia hugged as Celestia started to speak once again, “Twilight Sparkle, my faithful student. I knew you could do it.” She gave a small smile to her student. “But... you told me it was all an old pony tale.” “I told you that you needed to make some friends, nothing more. I saw the signs of Nightmare Moon's return, and I knew it was you who had the magic inside to defeat her, but you could not unleash it until you let true friendship into your heart.“ gave an inspiring speech as everyone listened close to it, small smiles can be seen on their faces. Celestia started to speak again, looking in a certain direction. “Now if only another will as well.” The used to be Nightmare Moon started to wake up, her fur changed from black to a more dark blue while her mane doesn't flow like Celestia. “Princess Luna!” The pony Infront of her right now Was princess Celestia with an unreadable expression, Luna gave a gasp as she looked down to the ground, not wanting to look at Celestia's eyes. “It has been a thousand years since I have seen you like this. Time to put our differences behind us. We were meant to rule together, little sister.” Celestia slowly sat down as she looked at Luna's guilty eyes, Luna then looked at Celestia's eyes, full of regret and sorrow. “Sister..?” Both Rainbow dash and Twilight said at the same time while gasping with the others. Celestia began to extend her hoof towards her sister. “Will you accept my friendship?” Luna looked at her sister's extended hoof of friendship. She lunged herself towards Celestia for a hug which Celestia gladly accepted with tears of joy in her eyes. Pinkie can be seen from the side view, sniffing her nose with a tissue found from… somewhere while sobbing, then her mood quickly changed as she had an idea in her head. “Hey, you know what this calls for?” “Hold on that thought for now, pinkie pie.” Celestia interrupted, everyone looked at her as she continued to speak. “It seems like there are some things here that are not yet settled.” Celestia then started dragging her eyes to a certain direction, the same direction to where Cale and Julian are currently are. Everyone else followed her gaze and spotted those two, some widen their eyes while the others tilted their heads. “Who are those two?” “Where did you two come from?” “Why are you here?” “What are you doing here?” Questions began piling up, Cale sighed as the moment of peace was gone, Celestia then started to walk towards the two. “May I ask who are you two and what are you both doing here?” She spoke with gentleness and elegants, Julian was in awe while Cale just had her usual neutral face while sitting down. Cale then pushed Julian forward and with one look, Julian knew what her sister was trying to say. “Princess Celestia, Your majesty! Let me introduce the both of us.” Julian bowed with respect as she began to speak. “My name is… Rose Flower… my br- uh, sister here is Selena Star, our story for why we are here is long, are you willing to listen to it, your highness?” Celestia smiled but she doesn't know if it's genuine or not. “You may proceed.” Julian then started retelling their story for why they are here but with some changes to avoid some extra attention. Cale didn't listen to their conversation as she started to close her eyes to relax… And she was suddenly bombarded with a bunch of questions she didn't want to answer, which is all of them. Most of the questions came from a certain party pony. “Who are you? What are you doing here? WHY are you here? Did you get trapped by magic because of Nightmare Moon!? Where did you come from!? DO YOU LIKE PARTY-?!” Pinkie Pie was talking very fast and Cale just learned a new type of headache which she thought wasn't possible. Thankfully, someone stopped her from giving Cale twice more headache than she's currently experiencing. “Pinkie, stop! Can't you see that you're overwhelming her?!” Pinkie stopped talking and began looking at Cale, who's eyes were dangerously narrowed. Pinkie backed away as Cale's Expression revert back to its usual lazy self. “Thank you, Twilight Sparkle.” Cale didn't even look as she knew whose voice that stopped pinkie belonged to. “How do you know my name?” “Princess Celestia said it.” “Oh.” She blushed in embarrassment. Cale looked at her before closing her eyes and sighing, sitting down comfortably. Twilight stepped forward before saying, “Can I ask you a question?” Cale didn't say anything but opened one of her eyes before closing them again. Twilight didn't understand this gesture but proceeded to ask anyway. “What is your name?” “Selena, Selena Star.” Twilight nodded in acknowledgement, she then asked another. “What about the other one?” “Rose Flower, my little sister.” Twilight nodded again, Cale inhaled deeply as if she was tired already. Twilight asked another, “What are you two doing here?” “...” Cale didn't answer. “What are you two doing here? And why?” “... Rose can answer those questions.” Cale avoided the topic as she started to get up, Rose was then seen walking towards her big sister. “Pinkie pie, you may proceed with what you're about to say.” The princess spoke, pinkie stopped and thought deeply in her chaotic mind before jumping up and started exclaiming. “Oh yeah! Do you know what this calls for?!” “A party!” She shouted as loud Confettis and Music played in the background, many ponies could be seen gathered around which Cale didn't like one bit and tried to escape, which was stopped by Julian tiny hooves. “Nuh uh.” Cale sighed, She couldn't escape now. “Cheer up! Your future life here is going to be awesome, I can have adventures while you can get your lazy life.” Cale perked up at the mention of his future lazy life, while she knew their lives were just starting, her grasp was almost reaching for her lazy and unproductive life. “Hm… you're right, maybe.” She then started to look at the crowds where a depressed looking twilight was next to the princess. A letter suddenly appeared Infront of the princess as she started to write and say something at the same time. “I, Princess Celestia, hereby decree that the unicorn Twilight Sparkle shall take on a new mission for Equestria. She must continue to study the magic of friendship. She must report to me her findings from her new home in Ponyville.” She finished writing her letter as confettis, once again, flared out as the once depressed twilight became happy and hugged all six of her newly best friends. Julian smiled at the wholesome moment while Cale looked at them indifferently. “Now, the question is…” Cale started to speak, her little sister listened carefully. “Where do we live from now on?” Author's Note There isn't really much happening yet because both this and the first chapter was just an introduction (which happens to be very long like, wtf?) but i do hope you enjoyed atleast, my update schedule is very random so i might post much earlier or months later.
