Needs some Shuteye

Lighthouse saw the colt was flying futher and she shuddered staring ahead at the rising sun...She wondered how she was going to get through this as the colt took a swift turn into a cave.

He set her down, and as soon as her hooves met the wet cave floor she sprinted for the exit.

"Where d'ya think your going?" he asks, flying ahead and skidding infrount of her. She huffs snarling at him.

"Come on" he nudges her foward deeper into the cave.

Lighthouse spun round "I THINK I CAN WALK MYSELF!" she growled. He gave her an unamused look. She could now see he was a black pegasus with a smooth silky mane and bright purple eyes that seemed to shine in the dark

She began walking and the cave opened into a massive room a few strands of light filtered through where a hole was left, there was a pond over in the corner. A light mint pegasus, who was only a filly, with a white mane and a light mint streak running through it.

"Universic!" she grinned as soon as she saw the black pegasus, she ran over jumping around with excitement.

"H-Hey Sweet song" he smiled slightly before moving foward, Lighthouse warily followed him.
As she did, she could see a ledge that had steps carved to reach the top.

"P-Princess Shuteye" Universic said, making most of the pegasi go quiet. A thing bodied Alicorn stepped out, about the same age as Princess Cadence or Luna, but alot thinner.
She was a light brown, with a light blonde main. Her cutie mark was a dark bat and she wore a bat crown above her matted mane. She looked so weak.

"S-Subjects we have a pegasus here who is destined to save our tribe!" she declared her voice choking with something that made Lighthouse cringe.

Who was this 'Princess Shuteye'?

The Princess looked around the cave at the pegasi and released a sigh.

She sat down, her ice blue eyes shinning. "My magic is running out, and i cant produce most of the fear of night...." she croaked.

Fear of the night? what?

"B-But Princess!" a voice made everyone turn. A black pegasus with a red mane, and seemed slightly stunned looked at Shuteye.
"Don't you also help young fillys conquer fears, and help sleep well?" he asks.

"Yes...But my magic will not allow me to do such things anymore..." her horn sparked with blue but it fazed out.

Lighthouse looked around, starting to worry, how long had these pegasi been here?

Being Taken

"Lighthouse! Please be careful!" yelled Lucky strike from their house on the hill that reahced over the clouds.

"Don't worry! Those Pegasi need me!" she grinned as she slipped her brown fur jacket on, and grabbed her lanturn.

She began to run across the strech that lead to their house, the mare used that as a runway. She opened her violet wings out rising up into the misty clouds of confusion.

The Lighthouse wasnt bright enough and the Pegasi who were returning home and needed light to get back. She swooped nearly bashing into the Lighthouse itself.

"w-Woah..." she muttered under her breath, scanning the scenery before noticing a sky ship.

She fluttered over and then took a sharp turn leading the ship out of the clouds. Once it could find its way back, she took a dive down into the clouds again searching for lost Pegasi.

Lighthouse dove under the clouds swooping and gliding for a few seconds. the purple Pegasus didnt get out much and loved the exserisise.

This was strange, there should have been a ton of lost pegasi out here, she took another leap up into the clouds before she was blinded by a large light and streaked downwards again.

She rubbed her eyes. Man did they hurt. Lighthouse suddenly noticed the clouds were clearing as a pegsus zoomed straight over her head. She was leaving a rainbow trail. She watched in awe as a whole group destroyed the clouds quickly, the blue one with a rainbow mane going extreamly quickly.

She fluttered up, flying back to her home. The grey pegasus jumping round her when she returned.

"Wow! you looked awesome out there!" she grinned.
"Yeah of course Lucky strike" she sighed, getting out of her jacket, and staring at the group of ponies who were now flying off.

"Hmm" "Come on! Food!" Lucky strike ran to the house, Lighthouse following her.

~~~~~~~~~~~~The next day~~~~~~~~~~~

It was foggy once again and Lighthouse was scanning the area.

She soared past the block of floating ground the Light house sat on, and she did a few pieces of rock crumbled and hit her wings. She cringed as she went heading for the ocean.

"N-NO!" she screeched her wings flapping a frenzy of feathers and stress.

She closed her eyes but she never felt herself hit the water, instead she was flying she looked up. To see a male pegasus with an anamused look on his face flying directly away from their house.

She struggled but couldnt brake free.

The Lunar Princess's Mind

Rainbow dash flew as fast as she could to Canterlot, stopping at the gate the guards let her in and she dashed to the castle knocking on the door.

The door was open by the familer Lunar Princess, wearing her gaming headset.

"Ah Rainbow Dash, come in...You had some knews about a missing Pegasi" she led her in.

"Yes Mam..." she nodded following the princess.

Luna lead her up to her bedroom, that was decorated in constalations to telescopes.
Rainbow looked around, moving her goggles upwards.

"I have heard the Pegasus was called Lighthouse, correct?" Luna asked taking her headset off.

Rainbow nodded "Yes, she was reported being taken by a black pegasus..."

Luna's mind clicked 'Black pegasus?' she smiled.

"I may know where she is...but its gunna be a long trip...they tend to move" her horn glowed as the aurora began to build around it and she levitated her cutie mark designed saddle-bag onto her back.

"Where are we going?" Rainbow asked, stretching her wings.

"Pegasi falls..."

"P-Pegasi falls?" Rainbow gasped as Luna but various items in her saddle bags such as maps and food,

"Yes thats there last destination" she opened her wings wide.

"Sorry Princess but, who are 'they' "

"There called the tribe of restless night" she headed for her balcony staring at the sun.

"And they havent been spotted for about a two thousand years" Rainbow followed her to balcony too.

"R-Right...OK then, i'm up for an adventure!" Rainbow grinned.

"Ok then, because your going to need alot of spirit like that to get us there" Luna opened her wings and took into the sky Rainbow following her.

"But why...Princess honestly im confused" The rainbow colored wonderbolt said.

"Look their Princess, who may not be alive..., has to channel energy to help me get the foals to sleep, create the scariness and darkness of night so the moon doesnt Illuminate everything" she replies.

Rainbow nods.

"So they go there to get energy with Pegasus'...That may be the reason why she was kidnapped" they were now soaring over Ponyville.

"Ponys stop going to Pegasi falls because the belived that i took their leader down...when i was nightmare moon" Luna spoke with utter anger in her usually calm and not so loud anymore voice.

((Sorry these are being so CRUDDY and short :3))

Author's Note

URGH Schools gone, and my friend wont rp, looks like ive been reduced to Writing Fan-Fictions about magical ponies :3

Let the blue pegasus ruin it all

"We Later Travel to Pegasi Falls!" Shuteye declared.

Lighthouse gasped.

That was days away!

"Excuse me, i dont know why im here...but why am i coming with you on this trip, if i am that is..."

Shuteye stared at her.

"Because you have enough energy...from that lighthouse, and spirit to help the Falls gem"

She tilted her head "Excuse me...What?"

"The Falls gem needs energy from and young and...spirited pony like yourself" Shuteye nodded.

"We leave tommorow, get ready" she replied heading back into the cave behind the ledge.

Everypony paid no more attention the ledge and went back to their own thing.

Unversic turned away but Lighthouse stopped him

"Can i go home now?" she asks, getting slightly ticked off with all this.

"Nein..." Oh great he was speaking in Germane now...

"Didnt you hear our ruler?" he asks. Clearly annoyed...

"Yes but im not a unicorn!" she shoves the top of her light lavender mane in his face "See no horn!"

"Its your Spirit" he huffed turning away and walking off.

She stomped on the floor.

A pegasus watched her from the corner...Her clear red eyes sparkled as she turned away Fluttering up to another ledge and sitting down, Watching Lighthouse from afar.

She chuckled "Dont worry little miss bright...I'll make sure you'll never make it to Pegasi falls...Im the rightful with the spirit of night-light" she chuckled again, more deeply. Her deep blue coat shinning against the sunlight.

"Hey Ocean Streaker...Do you miss your old life?" a voice made the deep blue pegasus turn her head. She growled under her breath.

A white and green, odd looking pegasus with a weird chest mark thing, stared at her.

"No Storm berry, i dont, life in Ponyville was like being sent to the moon..." she grumbled.

Storm berry smiled, sitting down on her ledge.

"What ya think of the new pegasus, thinks shes got enough spirit?"
"No..."
"Why?"
"Go make music or something.." she muttered.

"Alright" she headed into her cave, begging to strum on her home made Lyre
