"We are gathered here today in celebration of a momentous occasion!" Celestia announced "My most faithful student, Twilight Sparkle has done many extraordinary things whilst she's lived Ponyville! She even helped reunite me with my sister, Princess Luna. But today Twilight did something even more extraordinary! She created a new magic! Proving that without a doubt she is ready to be crowned Equestria's newest princess! Fillies and gentlecolts, may I present, for the very first time...PRINCESS TWILIGHT SPARKLE!" With that the purple alicorn cantered into the hall followed by four maids and four guards!

As she approached the maids burst into song " Princess Twilight Sparkle, Princess Twilight Sparkle, Behold, Behold, Princess Twilight Sparkle, Behold Behold, Princess Twilight sparkle!" As she reached the altar, Spike her small pet dragon walked up to her holding a purple pillow with a headdress sitting on top! I watched as Celestia levitated the jewel encrusted Tiara onto Twilight's head! She than proceeded royalty and family in tow to a set of doors on the side of the hall. She opened them and trotted out on to the balcony with Celestia and Luna. i listened from just inside with Cadence, Shining Armour, Blinding Armour, Twilight Twinkle and Nightlight, along with the other elements of harmony. Oh and Blueblood....not that the idiot deserves mentioning...

Twilight began to talk "A little while ago my teacher and mentor, Princess Celestia sent me to live in Ponyville! She sent me to study friendship! But now on a day like today I can honestly say I wouldn't be standing here if it weren't for each of you teaching me a thing about friendship! And for that, I will always be grateful. Today I consider myself the luckiest pony in Equestria! Thank you friends, THANK YOU EVERYPONY! After everypony had congratulated her, I trotted up to her.

"Hi, you must be Twilight Sparkle...I would just like to say....YOU BEAT ME THERE!" I shouted, waving my hooves around for emphasis

"Beat you where, Mr...?" She replied patiently.

"Bright Storm. And you beat me to the alicorn thing...I've spent the last ten years horn deep in books tryna find it and than...and than..."

"STORM, Stop harassing Princess Twilight Sparkle" Celestia shouted behind me.

"Yes mother. Sorry Princess."

The purple alicorn giggled. "So you must be the prince I've heard so much about..."

"Why yes I am....wanna know what gets me?"

"Go on..."

"Why we've never met in the castle grounds."

"That is kind of unusual..." She muttered to herself. "Well I gotta go...Ponies to see, Things to do..."

she trotted off towards her friends. I began to hear that strange music play out of nowhere again... "Not again.." I said to myself.

"Life in Equestr-" Twilight  began but I was gone before she even finished the first verse. I had teleported out in a puff of red light. I reappeared in the main dining room of the castle complex. I found Blueblood enjoying a banana split.

"Ah, Cousin! So unpleasant to see you!" He said.

"Why I love you too dear cousin" I replied mockingly.

"Shut up, you ruffian."

That was it...that imbecile had been continuously annoying me since he could talk. "You know that wall?" I pointed to the stone walls to my left. "Part of it's fake! There's a room full of gold and diamonds on the other side!" I announced.

"REALLY?!" He jumped out of his chair and galloped over to the wall. As he frantically scoured the walls with his hooves, I took a stance behind him and thrust my left foreleg out! One might say I split his banana! He screamed like a little girl and likely louder than Luna could shout!

"Got any grapes?" I asked sweetly before trotting off through a side door. I made my way to the courtyard, where a dozen or so guards were training. "Hello there noobs!" I shouted, announcing my entrance. I grabbed a mace of the weapons rack in the corner of the courtyard and shouted "SO WHO WANT'S A GO AT THE STORM-MEISTER TODAY?!" For several moments nopony raised a hoof.

But than Somepony shouted "I WILL" From the doorway to my left. I turned to see Shining Armour approach with a smug grin plastered on his face.

"Oh, Captain you're gonna regret that choice!" I replied hotly.

"Are you sure?"

"Oh yeah!" I said as he grabbed a sword enchanted to be harmless towards other living beings.

We began to circle each other slowly, keeping our eye's on each others weapons. Shining was the first to move in. I feinted to the right and struck him on the left side of his face whilst he was distracted with my ruse!  I moved backwards to give myself space and shouted "Aww, Cadence would be very unhappy if she saw you were getting your flank kicked by somepony who isn't even in the guard!"

"I'm gonna make you pay for that!" He retorted angrily, lunging at me! I dodged to the left but his sword struck my flank as I dived.

"You hit like a filly!" He charged me again! I dropped at the last moment and swept his legs out from under him in a sliding movement! "I thought you were captain of the royal guard, is that all you got?!" He managed to get back on his hooves. He unleashed a stun spell, which I countered with a recoil shield. He fell, stunned by his own spell. I trotted up to him and rested the head of my mace on his muzzle. "I would've thought you'd actually pose a challenge...." Just as Shining Armour began to regain his bodily functions, Celestia entered the courtyard followed by Twilight Sparkle and Cadence. "I feel sorry for ya' buddy" I muttered in his ear.

"Huh?" He asked.He than noticed The princesses. "Oh....I hate you."

"I feel so hurt." I smiled as they approached.

"Shiny....Did you just get your flank handed to you by a prince?" Asked Cadence.

"Erm....No?" He replied as I removed my mace and allowed him to get up.

"Oh Shining, if only you'd studied the offensive magic book I gave you last month." Said Twilight irritably

"Bright, I saw the whole thing...You did well!" said Celestia.

"Ummm, thanks...Mother..."

"Do you have any idea why BlueBlood is cradling his crotch in the dining room?" She asked, smirking knowingly.

"Why you can't suspect me of such a heinous crime, can you mother?" I Retorted in mock amazement.

"Well any way We're here because Princess Sparkle wishes to return to Ponyville, however She also needs to be able to function between her own desires, the weekly court she will have to hold in the town hall and the other duties of royalty. Your the only pony that has the knowledge to deal with this situation that is available. Would you kindly accompany Twilight to Ponyville and show her the ropes of being royalty?"

"But I don't wanna...." Twilight gave me dat face....Too much cute......CUTE OVERLOAD.....AHHHHHHHHHHHH "Fine...When do we leave?"

"In an hour." Cadence said.

"good enough for me." I replied.

"Soon....Soon I will be able to put my plan into action and rid this world of those dratted ponies..."muttered the queen joyously!
