Chapter II: The Arrival

The train was just a few minutes from Ponyville station. Rocket, Peachy, and Tick Tock were getting very excited but I knew what was about to occur.

Meanwhile, at the train station, Princess Twilight Sparkle and her friends were waiting for the arrival of the four mysterious ponies. Rainbow Dash was wanting to race Rocket Sky but she was surely going to be disappointed.

Back on the train. Peachy and Tick Tock were playing hoof cake (Our version of Patty cake). They were so into it that after a few minutes Peachy decided to change the pace and go faster. Tick Tock couldn’t keep up and when he slipped up, she took it to her advantage and decided to declare herself the hoof cake champion.

The train began to stop.

Rocket looked at me and said “Let’s try to blend in with the other ponies getting off.” I looked at him and said (Sarcastically) “Oh, yea, we are going to BLEND in with the other ponies. Especially since one of us has no cutie mark, another is too dramatic, and we are the only two that are actually able to control ourselves. I think this is going to end with one of us being questioned. . .if so, I’ll take care of it.” He looked at me and I knew he thought this was a bad idea but it was time to get off the train.

We began stepping off, one at a time.

Peachy began stepping off,I was afraid that she would easily be spotted due to the lack of a cutie mark on her flank but somehow she got passed.

Tick Tock got off and easily blended into the crowd.

Before I stepped off, Rocket pulled me aside and said “Don’t do anything that gives us away including flying.” I stepped off and as soon as I got spotted Rainbow Dash Rushed to me and said “You must be the one called Rocket Sky!” I was a bit confused but I responded wisely with “No, I am Inner Wisdom, Rocket Sky is behind me.”

Rocket stepped off and before I knew it, Rainbow flew back to her house in the clouds.

We were approached by AppleJack. She began to introduce herself but I stopped her in her tracks due to my superior knowledge of all the ponies. I said “AppleJack: Member of the Apple family, and worker of Sweet Apple Acres.” I knew that I had caught her off her guard but I wasn’t threw just yet.

Rarity approached me and before she could say anything, I stopped her and said "You are Rarity, owner of the Carousel Boutique," I kept moving down the line, "We've got Rainbow Dash, head of Ponyville’s weather team, Fluttershy, caretaker of animals, and Pinkie Pie, pastry maker for the Sugarcube Corner. Last, but not least, is Twilight Sparkle, the used to be librarian of Golden Oaks Library and now a Princess of Equestria."

Afterwards Twilight asked us to follow them to her house. While we were enroute to her house, Rocket looked at me and while whispering to me said “I will do all the talking, you’ve already said too much.”

We entered Twilight’s library. I was amazed at the vast amount of knowledge that all the books she had, could contain.

Twilight started asking us a series of group questions. I knew that the questions that she was going to ask had to do with us randomly appearing out of nowhere.

One of the questions she asked was how we knew so much about the mane six. Well even though Rocket told me not to answer. . .I was just about to say “I know what I know because of my knowledge of everything,” but Rocket used his Magic to shut me up.

Another question she asked us was obviously where we were from. Rocket responded with a place called Trottingham.

I shook my head even though I was thinking to myself “What would a pony do in Trottingham? Trot around? Take a Trottle to work?” I had to remain calm and at peace with my realization.

The next question she asked was if we were a threat to Equestria. Of course, my friends all knew we weren’t a threat to any pony, so we all answered no. Even though, with tick Tock mentally unstable, and Peachy Keen being, well, Peachy,I also knew that this could get ugly at any moment. Rocket however seemed to be a bit, well, nervous because of us.

After Twilight had been pleased with our answers, she began to question each of us individually. She approached Peachy Keen and began asking her about joining the Cutie Mark Crusaders. Even I knew that that was the greatest place for her. I could even see Peachy creating her own business which would involve helping other ponies who haven’t discovered their cutie marks, find their own path to finding their cutie mark.

Twilight looked over at Tick Tock, and asked what he liked to do. Tick answered with “I like to play the guitar and listen to music.” She continued looking at him and then said “I think Vinyl Scratch and Octavia might have a place for you to stay.”

Twilight then looked directly at me and since she knew I already knew everything about them and that I was like Pinkie Pie but with more control, she had me stay with Pinkie Pie who gave me a brohoof. It was epic and a wise decision on Twilight’s behalf.

Rocket stayed with Twilight. . .We all knew that was going to happen. I kept a very close eye on them whenever I could. Sometimes though, I had to just be me. Wise, Knowledgeable, and at peace with thyself.

Pinkie took me to Sugarcube Corner where I got to meet Mr. and Mrs. Cake and their two wonderful children, Pound and Pumpkin Cake. They were very behaved but Pinkie pulled me aside and said “Don’t fall for their cuteness, They aren’t easy to watch. They may seem harmless but until you've hurt yourself somehow. . .they will be.”

“Mr. and Mrs. Cake, It will be an honor to be here, I would like to let you know that if you need any meditative advice, I am your pony. If you care to join me for yoga later, I would be pleased but I understand that you're busy, so I will not be upset if you can’t.” Pinkie started bouncing up and down in glee and asked “Ooh, can I join you for Yoga, sounds like FUN!” We went upstairs and she showed me my room. After a few moments I felt very tranquil, very happy, and very comfortable at my new home. Pinkie and I meditated, She had difficulty trying to keep herself upside down while focusing on balance and control but she eventually said “Let me show you around.” She took me around the house some more. We had fun and she learned that I was a very cool and wise pony.

Chapter III: The Pets

Ten minutes had passed since Pinkie Pie had showed me around Ponyville. We arrived at the library only to find out it was a giant party for us to meet the other ponies. Tick and Vinyl were DJ’ing and the rest of my friends were dancing to the music.

My friend Rocket looked at us and seemed down. I was having too much fun to notice but I knew deep down that he was having the hardest time adjusting to the new surroundings. It was actually quite normal.

When the song that was playing ended Tick Tock grabbed a microphone and said “So, Who’s ready to have a good time!” Loud Roars “I can’t hear you!, I said, Are you having a good time! Vinyl, put on that disc!” All of a sudden. . .Tick and Vinyl began mixing music and creating some really crazy dance tunes.

Tick then went further up the stage and began dancing while doing several infamous dance moves including The Twist, The style, and The Metal. Several Ponies chanted his name but just when they thought it was over, PEACHY jumped up on stage. She started dancing with moves that were unheard of including The Sprinkler, The Pony Leg, and The Beat. Then, Rocket was thrown on stage and he didn’t know what to do but it didn’t matter because no one paid attention to his appearance because Peachy and Tick were getting serious about the dance, so he got off and went to the back.

I then got up on the stage and pushed both of them aside and began dancing even faster to the music, Vinyl lifted her glasses in shock. I then continued dancing with moves like The Monkey, The crouching Tiger, and The Sign of Peace. I admit, between the two of them Peachy had won but the crowd was cheering for all of us, not just one of us. We all had so much fun that even the mane six were cheering for us to continue. We didn’t want to be rude and hop off the stage, so we winged the rest of it. I went and did some aeronautical moves, Tick did some awesome guitar slides, and Peachy showed off her spectacular flips. It lasted several hours before anyone was too tired to continue dancing. We left and met up outside.

Rocket approached us and said “How would you guys like to have pets?” We all were jumping with glee and after a few minutes we all looked at him and asked “Where can we go?” He took us to Twilight’s House. We approached Twilight and asked her for help. She took us to Fluttershy’s house by teleportation. It was trippy to be honest.

Knock...knock...knock..."Fluttershy, you in there?"

"Just a moment please, that is if you don't mind waiting," a voice on the other side of the door said, "Now eat your dinner Angel while I greet my guest."

When the door opened she found five ponies waiting for her and she let out a yelp before calming down.

"Twilight, I thought they were going to Pinkie's party," Fluttershy said, "Why are they here?"

"They're here for pets Fluttershy," Twilight answered, surprising her friend, "They want to live in Ponyville peacefully and normally, so I figured that a pet would do nicely."

"Oh, yes indeed," the mare said, moving out of the way to welcome them to her home, "Do you have any idea as to which pet you want or is this research for later on?"

I approached Fluttershy with a very enthusiastic question “Do you have a Panda?” She told me he was in the kitchen eating bamboo and once I heard her say that, I dashed so fast to the kitchen that I almost tripped over several animals but I didn’t.

I entered the kitchen to see a panda eating bamboo. I flew up and was so happy. I landed back on the floor and approached the panda. The panda turned and saw me and began sniffing my face. He gave me a huge lick and then continued licking me.

I looked at him and said “Who’s a good panda, such a sweet panda. . .I shall name you Spirit, Panda of Wisdom.” We walked out of the kitchen and witnessed my friends choose their pets.

Peachy asked for a fox. When she saw Sly the fox she was enthusiastic and began playing weird games with it. She would poke the fox and it would jump on her head. She would shake it off of her head and then it would climb onto her back.

She was having so much fun. Tick approached Fluttershy and before he realized it, a timberwolf jumped into the room and pinned Fluttershy. He looked at it and at first said “That’s ferocious, awesome, and well-trained. . .I shall call him Splinter.

Rocket, however, didn’t want one just yet and went back to the library to rest.

I returned to the Cake’s house with Spirit. When we entered Pinkie Pie saw Spirit and at first didn’t know what to do. I looked at her and said “Don’t Panic, this is my Panda Spirit, he is very friendly, and very playful.” She walked over to it and poked it. The panda turned to her and picked her up and gave her a big hug. She let out a big “Awe!”

The Cakes and their children walked into the room and saw the panda. They panicked and so again I had to explain everything to them.

I left the room for a brief moment to go and explain myself. While I was gone, Pound and Pumpkin climbed on Spirit’s back and he took them on a ride around the room. They climbed off and were licked by Spirit numerous times. They had so much fun.

Pinky walked back up to Spirit and whispered something in his ear. When she finished whispering, Spirit walked up to Pound and Pumpkin and picked them up and placed them on Pinkie’s back. She looked at him and said “I didnt mean on my back, you were suppose to take them to the back.” Spirit came into the room I was in. The Cakes then were introduced to Spirit and noticed that he had taken a liking to Pound and Pumpkin.

After an hour, Spirit and I went to my room. I went ahead and began meditating while Spirit went to sleep. I had an epiphany, I saw Peachy in trouble but I didn’t know what was happening. I looked around and when I went back to meditating I saw . . .Chrysalis! . . .disguised as a pony that we all were gonna meet.

I went to bed and awaited for tomorrow’s bringings.

I awoke to find that Spirit wasn’t in the room. I went downstairs and found Spirit playing with the kids. Pinkie pie approached me and said “We’ve got a lot of work to do. We’ve got to go around Ponyville and bring a smile to every ponies face. Then afterwards we shall go to the little cafe on the corner and enjoy the pretty scenery, and Finally we shall go and see what the others are doing.”

I looked at Pinkie and said “That is going to be very peaceful and I can’t wait for us to go and see the others. If I might add, we should stop by and see Peachy! She could be in trouble.”

She looked at me and said “Ooh, we shall definitely do that. It’s gonna be fun to watch the other’s, especially since we are really good at hiding.” We left and began our day.

Chapter IV: Hanging with Pinkie

Pinkie Pie and I began our day by saying ‘hello’ to every pony. Pinkie began bouncing up and down while making any pony that she could see that was upset, smile. It was very remarkable to witness. She looked to me and had me join in with the singing. At first, I admit I was very skeptical about joining the pink mare in her journey to make everypony smile but it was definitely an interesting experience. It lasted for several minutes and then we arrived at a cafe.

I noticed Peachy and the Cutie Mark Crusaders entering a house with a pony that I have never seen before. I also noticed another pony watching them enter the house and then walk over and began purchasing tomatoes. We were in front of a cafe/ restaurant. We sat down at a table and a server approached us and gave us some menus and then walked away.

I looked at Pinkie Pie and asked if she knew who that Pony purchasing Tomatoes was.

She looked at the pony and said “Oh, that’s Salad Top, she’s been here for a few days.”

I looked on and said “Interesting, and yet, she reminds me of some dark and mysterious force!”

Pinkie Pie looked at me and asked "What are you ordering?" She continued to flip through the menu.

I looked at the menu and said "I was thinking an espresso," checking the list anyway, "One that would give me energy so we could spy on Miss Salad Top. You?"

"I was going to go with the Mega Caffeinated Coffee with a dash of candy cane sugar," Pinkie Pie replied.

Surprised, I looked at her and said"They make those?" , signing the waiter to come over, "This place is amazing."

"Yes?" the waiter, a brown coated unicorn stallion with a red mane, asked, "What would you like to drink?"

I looked at the server and said "An espresso with two shots for me, she, however, would like..."

"...a Mega Caffeinated Coffee with candy cane sugar," the pink mare spoke up, cutting the stallion off as she handed the menus to the waiter.

"I will be back with those in a few minutes," the waiter said, taking the order down and taking the menus before disappearing into the building.

I laughed and said "He's freaked out, I guess he isn't used to dealing with you Pinkie."

"I can see that," the pink mare shot back.

We both looked over towards the other side of the street. We both saw Salad top beginning to get angry about something. We both saw that Salad Top was changing form. I then looked to Pinkie and said “Oh! That explains everything...”

Pinkie cuts me off and says “...Ooh! Chrysalis must want to ask Peachy for peaches!”

I had a puzzled grin on my face and said “Please tell me you didn’t just say that Peachy sells Peaches to ponies in Ponyville. She doesn’t sell fruit, she merely helps all ponies discover their true selves.”

Pinkie then went over and said "Hiya Chrysalis," Pinkie kept bouncing around the mare while the other pony held their drinks, "We have a couple of questions for you."

"I'm not Chrysalis," Salad proclaimed softly, "My name is Salad Top. I am most certainly not the Queen of the Changelings. Just a simple restaurant worker buying ingredients that are in low supply right now."

"Right," Pinkie continued, not paying attention to her protests, "keep telling yourself that. Now, we were wondering why you're following our friend Peachy Keen and spying on her. And I personally want to know what you're buying that isn't tomatoes, Ooh is it Peaches?"

"First, I’m not buying peaches. Secondly, Like I already told you," Salad said, "I'm buying things that are in low supply at the restaurant that I work in, and it just so happens that both me and this Peachy Keen were in the same place at the same time. And what are you drinking?"

"Mega Caffeinated Coffee with candy cane sugar," Pinkie answered, "and Wisdom here is drinking an espresso. But enough about us, tell us why you are spying on our friends."

"Stop asking me the same question," Salad insisted, "I do not know who this Rocket Sky is. Nor am I spying on anypony who might be a friend of his. So please, stop asking me why I'm spying on Miss Peachy. We are in the same place at the same time and that's final. Leave me alone."

"Did you know that Rocket Sky has an impressive amount of magical energy?" Pinkie asked, as if it would cause Salad to reveal herself, "I noticed when I was on break that his power is great."

"I do not care," Salad shouted, turning on the annoying mare, "Let me repeat myself for the hundredth time. I do not know who this Rocket Sky is, I do not care how much magical power he contains, I was not following Miss Peachy Keen and her little friends, and I am NOT the Changeling Queen Chrysalis."

I stood in front of Salad Top and said "Denial is a bad thing, but if you choose to deny the truth and instead accept the falsity of your lies you will soon lose what really matters to you. Never forget that my student and you will prosper well in the world. Come along Pinkie."

We disappeared around the corner. We hid on a roof and watched Salad Top. . .A.K.A Chrysalis walk away.

"Think she'll do anything interesting?" Pinkie asked, While we sat on a rooftop, drinking our drinks as we watched Salad Top.

I looked on and said "Its not that she'll do something interesting, but that she'll eventually lead us to the reason why she's following Peachy and the Crusaders. Besides, we can always spy on her without her knowing we're here. Now, would you like some sugar for this stakeout?"

Pinkie looked at me and said “Sure!” More treats arrived and we feasted while watching Salad Top walk off in the distance.

Later that night, Tick Tock invited Peachy and I over to his party. When we arrived Peachy asked me if Rocket was coming. I looked at her and said, “No, he was too tired to come, so he is back at the library going to bed.

She looked onward and said “he’s going to miss such a great party.

Pinkie Popped out of nowhere and said “It’s time to Party!” She grabbed us, and took us inside.

When we got inside, our arrival didn't go without some pony saying “Well! Look who just walked in, my amazing dancers and close friends, PEACHY KEEN AND WISDOM!”

We were thrown on stage and I remember Tick Tock starting a beat and saying “So, lets see who truly is the best dancer!”

We both started dancing and when the dancing got even faster, Tick decided it was time for a slow song. We couldn’t keep down with the music but before we fell, Ponies started getting thrown onto the stage. We looked around and saw two stallions fighting over a broken glass of apple cider.

They took the fight on stage and when Tick Tock saw this, he took his headset off, slowly, then he started to approach the two stallions and just before he started to gallop towards them, Fluttershy landed in front of him and said “Please, don’t fight. . .if that’s. . .um. . .okay?”

Tick Tock looked up at her and said “Okay.” Fluttershy then asked “Would you like to come over and relax, my animal friends are very good at giving massages. . .unless you're busy.”

Tick tock and Fluttershy began to walk out but then they heard Peachy give a war cry and she tackled the two stallions and put each of them in a corner to think of their bad deed.

We all left and returned back to our homes, I got back and went into my meditative state of mind. I fell asleep, upside down, and had sweet dreams.

Chapter V: Finding Meditation

It was a beautiful morning. Nature was blooming and it was an amazing time to meditate. I left the bakery and headed towards a garden that was nearby. I arrived to see a fountain, an assortment of flowers, the smell of roses, and the distinct sound of a guitar being played.

I saw Tick Tock sitting on a bench playing his guitar. I approached him and before I even said anything, he turned towards me and said “You know that feeling. . .where you think you're in love but you don’t know for certain. . .I think I have that. . .Do you know a cure?”

“A cure? (pauses) My friend, if you feel butterflies in your stomach, if you can’t stop thinking about some pony, (Pauses) then you, (Pauses, again) are. . .in. . .love. Love is a very powerful form of Harmony, with it, you can conquer almost anything. But If love is interfered with, then the Harmony shall be disturbed. If Harmony is disturbed then the love will fall apart. That doesn’t mean it can’t be fixed. Remember, Any love is love that every pony feels but True Love is what YOU and the other individual feel, as one.”

Tick started tearing up and said “So true! Can I admit something to you? If I do, do you promise to not release it to any pony?”

I smiled and said “But of course, Now tell me, What is bothering you?”

Tick ponied up and said “I think. . .(Pauses) I am in love with. . .Fluttershy! But I don’t know what to do, Could you help me?”

I sat next to him, I looked towards the trees that were nearby and said, “I won’t ask her out or do anything that you should do. I will, however, help train you in the arts of meditation. Once, you have learned how to meditate and keep calm, you will be ready.”

We left the garden and I took Tick to a small park that was nearby. Surprisingly, Peachy and the Cutie Mark Crusaders were at the park and noticed Tick and I approaching.

Peachy ran on over to us and said “Do you guys want to play Pony, Pony, Mule!”

Tick got over excited and ran on over and sat on the grass. I walked on over and said “What is Pony, Pony, Mule!”

Peachy walked over and whispered softly, “It’s like Duck, Duck, Goose! but with ponies.”

I nodded to sign that I understood and sat next to Apple Bloom. The game was about to start but before it started we had to decide who went first. So, all the ponies started putting one of their hooves on their nose. They would then say ‘Not it’ and so I was it.

I walked around and said “Pony, Pony, Pony, Pony, MULE!” and started running while Scootaloo chased me. We then took the game to a whole new level. . .when I decided to Fly around them all. Scootaloo then did the same thing. After a few minutes I sat down and Scootaloo began the game, again.

After everypony had been tagged, Peachy and The Cutie Mark Crusaders had to leave and go to do other things. Tick and I took this time to start the Meditation Process.

When we were about to start, several ponies saw Tick and I in a tree upside down and kept questioning, what we were doing. Some members of the mane six including; AppleJack, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, and Fluttershy, came over and asked what we were doing. I looked over to Tick and whispered “Keep calm!”

I climbed down and said “I am teaching Tick the ways of Meditation. I am also teaching him how one can simply remain calm, remain wise, and be himself.

AppleJack, Pinkie Pie, and Fluttershy asked “Can we join you?” Rainbow Dash looked around and said “That doesn’t sound cool. It sounds a bit lame.”

I looked at Rainbow Dash and said “Let me ask you something, what does it take to be cool?”

She flew up and said “Cool is like. . .(pauses). . .It’s being Awesome, doing something that people will like you for.”

I looked around and said “It seems like some of the ponies think. . .It’s Cool. If you think about it, you can use meditation to keep calm, you keep calm so that you can show off as usual.”

She nodded and joined us. She was still quite curious. I knew that she still wanted to challenge some pony to a race but that would have to wait till Tick successfully asked Fluttershy out.

We were all in the middle of the park standing on all fours, I said “The first step is to know the types of Meditations. The most useful meditations are: Peaceful Meditations, Wise Meditations, and Spiritual Meditations. In order to know which one YOU are destined to use, we shall start by doing a small exercise. We shall sit quietly and find out which ponies are Spiritual Meditators. Afterwards, we shall walk around the natural and calm garden and see which ponies are Peaceful Meditators. Finally, we shall have a small lesson and see which ponies are Wise Meditators. Shall we begin?”

They all gathered around, listening ever so closely. I walked back and forth saying “So, first things first, we need to determine your specific meditation. So, we shall start by sitting quietly in this position (Sits with legs crossed and hooves clanged together).” After a few minutes several of the ponies couldn’t handle it, but the ones that could, dealt with it beautifully, having remained quiet.

I then continued by saying, “Congratulations, to those of you who remained Spiritual, if you’d like to hang around and continue the other exercises, then you are welcomed to. Next, We shall walk around the garden.” We took a scenic walk around of the garden. I could see that Fluttershy was enjoying herself and that Tick Tock was very relaxed around the beauty and the calmness of the garden. I approached him and said “You have shown me that you are a Peaceful Meditator, even when the day is dark, remember that peace is on your side.” He smiled and when I was about to announce the next group, there was an ominous musical humming coming from nearby. Tick Tock and I walked over and saw Fluttershy humming with the Humming birds. I turned to him and said “I think I know how I can help you with your journey, the best way I see of doing this would be by playing your guitar, BUT! something calm, peaceful, relaxing, nothing too loud.” He looked puzzled but realized I was right. I said “Stick around and after this last exercise, you shall begin creating peaceful music.”

We finished off the exercise and I could tell that Rainbow Dash was not amused. So, I came up with an idea, an idea so brilliant, that it had to work. I walked over to the remaining ponies and said “Congratulations to those of you, that have shown an interest in nature, peace, and remaining calm, for you are Peaceful Meditators. The next exercise has been changed a bit but the idea remains the same. We shall have a race around Ponyville. Now for the Pegasus that are here, this means no flying unless absolutely necessary. Get to your starting positions. Before we start here are the main rules, 1) Think wisely about your environment 2) Use your knowledge to your advantage and finally 3) Have Fun!. . . On your mark, get set, and GO!”

The Ponies all took off while I waited at the finish line, Tick turned around and saw that I hadn’t budged at all yet, he ran back and asked “Aren’t you going to run?” I looked at him and said “Patience is a virtue, plus, I know a shortcut.” Rainbow Dash was running along with AppleJack and Pinkie Pie, well, Pinkie was bouncing more then running but it kept her up with the two, they were all neck and neck. I then appeared from around Sugarcube Corner and was in the lead. I made left and right turns, Rainbow couldn’t figure out how I was so fast but I then turned around and was running backwards. She ran faster, and faster, and faster until, She was neck and neck with me. I decided to make it more interesting and started bouncing like Pinkie, which somehow was actually a lot of fun.

We got the finish line and couldn’t figure out who won, until we looked ahead of us and saw that some ponies had beaten us! We approached them and asked How did you get here so fast?” One of them said “Took a shortcut through a few alleys, and ended up here.” I turned to her and said “See! These are Wise Meditators, Ponies that know their surroundings. You did have me beat at the end Rainbow Dash but I hope you’ve learned more from this race then from showing off.” She looked at me and said “Yeah, I learned that no matter what is thrown in front of you, you can overcome anything.”

Tick Tick and I left and I took him back to his home. I then went ahead and headed for Peachy’s home. . .to ensure my suspicions about Chrysalis. Little did I know, that there was more then I could handle.

Chapter VI: Nightmare Night

I was almost to peachy’s home when I was stopped by Pinkie Pie. Pinkie bounced on over and said, “Whatcha doing?”

I jumped into a bush near by and said “Keeping a close eye out for anything suspicious.”

Just as I said that the door to the clubhouse opened, I grabbed Pinkie and pulled her into the bush. Peachy walked out and started heading somewhere. I looked at Pinkie, covering her mouth with my hoof, and said “If you want to help me, then shake your head up and down (She shakes her head up and down), Here’s what we need to do, we need to follow Peachy to see if chrysalis does anything to harm her. If we discover anything new about her plan, then we report to Twilight right away, Understood!”

Pinkie removed my hoof and said softly, “Okay, Ooh, Can we grab snacks before we go?”

I responded with “Fine! But we must hurry.”

After Pinkie grabbed snacks we caught back up with Peachy who was walking towards a house. we watched the door open and could clearly see Chrysalis and some other pony. Peachy and Rose spoke but what they were saying was unclear. Rose and Peachy left that house and continued onwards towards another location.

They were standing in front of Twilight’s library. Before they got to the door I saw Tick walk on by and so I stopped him and said “Hey Tick, where are you going?”

He turned around and said “Oh hey Wisdom, I’m just going to go over and say hi to Peachy and her new friend.”

I then said “Can I join you?” and Tick said “Sure!”

Pinkie then followed us as we approached Peachy and her new friend. When we got close enough Tick said "Hey Peachy," (he lifted a hoof as we approached) then he continued and said, "Who's your friend?"

Peachy looked at her friend and said “Rose Petal, She's helping me find my Cutie Mark and I figured that the best way to repay her is to let her met the rest of my friends. Get her to know the rest of us and hopefully everypony will be friends by the end of the day.”

I looked at Rose very carefully and said “That's cool, (pulling up in front of Rose and looking over her carefully), I hope you know what you're getting into Peachy.”

She looked at me and said “Of course I do, (She had a very puzzled expression, as if I knew something she didn’t), Anyway, where's Rocket and Twilight?”

"Inside the library," Pinkie said, hopping around happily, "They've been doing something and won't come out."

"I was reading a letter Pinkie," Twilight said, the door opening to show the alicorn waiting for them, "and Rocket has been resting. It seems he was practicing his magic last night and exhausted himself before he was able to return. Apparently Princess Luna brought him back and failed to wake me up. But he's here in case you want to talk to him."

Inside the library we were all shocked to see Rocket standing by a window, twirling a gem in midair while he read from a book. Spike was sitting below the gem, waiting for the stallion to drop it so he could eat it. Rocket looked up and smiled as he noticed us, closing the book while keeping the gem suspended.

"I see you're improving," Twilight commented, "Levitation isn't easy for beginners."

"I think we have established that I am not a beginner," Rocket said, allowing the gem to drop into Spike's awaiting claws, "Besides, I need a break before I try anything too dangerous. Who is this?"

"I don't know about infamous," Rocket commented, "but it appears that more and more are coming to meet me the more I stay here. Just an hour ago Vinyl and Octavia came by to drop off Tick for the day and I got to formally introduce myself."

"She also reminded us that Nightmare Night is only a few days away," Rocket continued, the entire group, excluding Rarity, gasping at once, "I take it the town is unprepared?"

"No no no," Twilight said, hurrying into her study, "I was so caught up teaching and making sure the town was stable that I forgot that Nightmare Night was around the corner. There is so much to do in so little time. Girls, we must prepare immediately."

Sure enough Twilight and her friends, except for Rarity, left the library to prepare for the special night.

"Ugh, such a dreadful night that is," Rarity said, looking over the five remaining ponies, "but that doesn't mean I won't accept a challenge. Come along and I will make costumes for the lot of you. Costumes that will put the scare into the rest of the town."

We followed Rarity who asked what we would like to be for Nightmare Night. We wanted each other to be surprised by our costume, so we told Rarity our Idea’s separately.

Pinkie and I left and headed for the bakery. When we arrived, Spirit jumped Pinkie and wouldn’t stop licking her. Pinkie said “Who’s a good Panda, Who wants a CUPCAKE!”

I turned around to see Pinkie with a cupcake made out of bamboo and frosting. Spirit ate the cupcake from her hoof and when he wouldn’t release her hoof, she tried to force it out of her mouth. She kept trying and started tumbling everywhere, I walked upstairs during the commotion and was planning for an interesting and eventful Nightmare Night.

Peachy and Tick came on over and said “Rarity has our costumes ready. If you want to, we can all go over and get them.”

I looked around and said “Sure!”

We arrived at Rarity’s home and she gave us our costumes in boxes. The only oddity that I could see was that Rocket wasn’t with us to get our costumes. It was as if his wasn’t ready, or at least, not just yet. No matter, for Nightmare Night was upon us.

We all got dressed in our costumes. "Come on guys," Peachy, dressed up like Miku the Vocaloid, not that she told anypony who she was, with her fox on her head, said, "Nightmare Night is upon us."

Tick was dressed up in the strangest suit in the world and had a huge hat with a 10/6 sign and some feathers on top of his head. He was supposed to be the Mad Hatter and he was great thanks to Rarity's work. I was dressed up in a green full body suit, though I said I was supposed to be a ninja of some kind. Everypony else, meaning Twilight and her friends, were dressed up as they were last time and they knew why Twilight was because she had told them before they had arrived.

"Where's Rocket?" Peachy asked, wondering why he hadn't stepped out the door yet.

"He's putting the finishing touches on his costume," Twilight said, smiling as the group silently waited for a minute. "Okay, seriously, it doesn't take that long to finish putting on a costume."

There was some sort of crashing noise from within Twilight’s house. We entered to see a window broken into pieces.

I heard Rainbow Dash say “Great, we have a werepony on the loose,” even though I was confident that everything was going to be fine, Tick, shrieked like a little filly and Peachy had to embrace him to keep him calm.

We went and looked around Ponyville for Rocket but before we could continue Princess Luna approached the mane six and started asking them what was going on. When she was told that there was a werepony loose, she looked around and said “There should be none of those left in existence. Let us see if we can find Rocket Sky and determine the truth of this little mystery.”

Meanwhile in the middle of Ponyville, Chrysalis and her army entered and she said “Kneel before your new Queen you pathetic worms. I am the true Changeling Queen Chrysalis, Queen of the Swarm. Prepare to be conquered tonight on the night you lower your guards the most. Prepare to become food for my soldiers.”

Everypony around them stared at her and started laughing as they went about their night, ignoring the Changeling Queen and her soldiers.

"But...but...but...," Chrysalis said, unbelieving that she was being foiled yet again, "come on here. I am the TRUE Changeling Queen. How are you not running around and screaming in terror?"

"Told you this wouldn't work," one of them, number 067, said as she separated herself from the group, "now I am going to hang with Peachy Keen and her friends for the night. See you around 'Chrysalis'."

Chrysalis hung her head in defeat and walked to the nearest bar, her soldiers unsure if they should follow her or leave her alone.

"My Queen?" one of them asked, "Are you alright?"

" I'm fine," she said, waving a hoof in a dismissing manner, "Go have fun and what not. Try to gather some useful data and such while I drink myself away. I will call you if I need you."

The Changeling nodded and then the group left, following whichever pony they could find after leaving the fountain area. Chrysalis watched them and laid her head on the table of what seemed like a familiar restaurant.

"And what would you like this fine evening?" the waiter, the same one that served Pinkie Pie and I, asked.

"Got anything that makes you drunk by a chance?" Chrysalis asked.

"I do believe we have some whiskey that was just delivered recently," the waiter answered, "Would you like some?"

"I think I'll take a whole bottle just to be sure," Chrysalis said, "and don't bother with a glass please."

"Right away Madam," the waiter said, vanishing into the store as she returned to watching the streets.

Meanwhile back with the werepony hunt, Princess Luna and the group kept hunting for the Werepony when they finally thought they had it cornered. The Illusion lifted and then Rocket was seen standing in some garments that Rarity had created. Apparently, they gave him the ability to change form.

Every pony laughed and carried on with the festivities until Dragons appeared from behind Rocket. It was time for a battle. I just knew it. So we prepared for battle.

The mane six couldn’t fight the dragons due to their Elements of Harmony and any Royal members.

So Tick, Peachy, and I put on our serious faces and brought the fight to them. "You will not be taking Rocket anywhere you punk," Tick said, pulling his guitar out and plucking another nameless tune, "not if we have a say in it."

I hovered next to him, holding some sort of long wooden staff in my hooves, never taking my eyes off the dragons in front of me. Peachy, holding no weapon, stood next to us and her fox growled at the dragons. Rose growled and hoofed the ground, breaking the soil as she waited for one to strike.

I flew over the two dragons as Tick unleashed a storm of musical waves at them, causing the dragons to advance towards him. Tick smiled and raised the guitar high above his head, preparing to smash it over the head of whichever dragon got near him first. Before he could even swing it Sapphire ripped it out of his magical grasp and slammed it into Tick's side, hitting him into the side of a building.

"Tick." Peachy shouted, turning on Sapphire and charging at her.

"Peachy, don't..." I said, realizing what was about to happen.

The dragon kicked Peachy in the side again and again until she was kneeling in the ground. Never had she tried to fight others and now when she did she was being beaten before raising a hoof.

"Oh no you didn't." I said, having tried to help his friends only to be stopped by Violet, "You're going down."

"Try it you stupid pony," Violet smirked, catching the end of the staff before receiving a hoof in her face.

I released my staff and slammed it into Violet's front foot, easily cracking the bones. The dragon growled and punched me in the chest, but I bounced back and struck her in her left armpit. Bone cracked and Violet screamed in pain, confused on how the staff was hurting her so much.

"Your pressure points are visible to me," I calmly explained, turning the staff over until I slammed it on top of her head and knocked her out, "Now to rescue Rocket."

Before I tried to save him, I was punched in the chest and during that attack my staff broke. I don’t remember too much after that, I sorta passed out due to the wounds I had sustained. I do remember awakening in my room, with bandages around me. When I tried to get up, Peachy, Tick, and Rocket entered to find me awake. We all hugged and were glad that Rocket was okay. What I didn’t know, was what happened to Chrysalis after that night.

Chapter VII: The Mysterious Mr. Z

“Imagine all the people living life in peace. You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one. I hope someday you'll join us, and the world will be as one.”-John Lennon

The next few days were indecisive. I couldn’t remember anything that had happened at Nightmare Night. I couldn’t sleep, I couldn’t meditate, it was as if something or someone was trying to find me. Then, one morning, I got a letter in the mail. It said:

Dear Mr. Wisdom,

Your mind has been shadowed with many questions that shall be answered. There is great power building up nearby. You and your friends are in grave danger. You must come to the Everfree Forest and meet a contact of mine, that will guide you to a safe place where we can discuss all of the matters at hand. The contact goes by the number 021. For your safety, Come Alone. I look forward to our wise discussion.

Sincerely,

Mr. Z

So, I went on a small journey into the Everfree Forest. I didn’t know who Mr. Z nor how he knew my name. I arrived at the designated meet up point. It was getting dark, I figured that it was a joke but then I was hit on the head and passed out.

I awoke, in a chamber of some sort. I noticed several seats, one in fact, that was bigger then the rest. A door opened, and several ponies wearing silver robes took place in the seat but the tallest seat was still empty. One of the ponies said something, “Mr. Wisdom, Welcome to the Council of the Wise Elders. I am Ms. S, before you meet Mr. Z, please answer us this one question. What is the meaning of Peace and Harmony once combined?”

I looked around at the elders unsure of their intentions. I however did respond with, “Well, Ms. S, your question is a very good one indeed. For peace to the wisest of us all can mean Happiness, Hope, Freedom, Friendship, and so much more, but Harmony is where the balance of Peace is met with some sort of force, something that binds us all together, that something can be known as, Love.”

The council nodded their heads in agreement, then one of the elders said, “Mr. Wisdom, I am Mr. D, my question for you is, what makes you happy?”

I smiled and said “Mr. D, I am always happy, I may have the same abilities as Pinkamena Diane Pie, but the fact is that I am only happy when my friends are safe, peaceful, and enjoying what they do, unless its for malicious intent.”

Again, the council nodded their heads in agreement and before one of them said something else, I interrupted by saying, “I’m sorry for the interruption but if I might ask, why was I summoned here, what is my purpose here, and if it’s simple to ask, who hit me?”

They all started to mutter something and then a large voice came from behind. It said “You were summoned here to help us figure out Queen Chrysalis’s Plan and why she has been watching several of your friends including Rocket Sky, and if you must know changeling 021 hit you. I know you have many questions, so let’s answer them, shall we?”

The figure then sat at the tallest seat and peered right down at me. What made it weirder for me was the fact that this elder had a medallion, that oddly looked like my cutie mark. I looked around at all the elders and said “Chrysalis is planning an attack on Canterlot, she already tried and failed, but I fear she will try again. I don’t know why she has been watching my friends but I do know this, there's another pony, who goes by the name Rose Petal, she has been getting very attached to meeting my friend Rocket. I think she might be trying to use my friends to get closer to him. My first question I guess, would be, Who is Rose Petal?”

The elders turned to the elder in the tallest seat. He looked at me and said “Rose is not a threat to you or your friends, she merely is under a bad influence from her mother , Chrysalis.”

“Mother?” I said very frantically. “So, you're telling me that Rose is the daughter of Chrysalis, but that doesn’t explain who the father is. She seems so peaceful and friendly, so unless she is faking that charm and glamour, then who is the Father?”

Again, the elders turned to the elder in the tallest seat. He said “If you really want to know, then you shall follow me to the garden of peace. This meeting of the elder’s is hereby adjourned.”

I followed the elder to the garden. I looked around at the beauty that had surrounded us. He sat down near a tree and said “You're the first one of your kind that I have ever met. Rose is my daughter, it really isn’t easy to explain but here it goes. I met Chrysalis when we were just younglings. She was lost, she had nowhere to go, and I knew she was different. I myself didn’t have anywhere to go. I was a youngling with nothing but a wise personality. We stumbled into the Forest to protect ourselves from the rain that was falling. She was quite something really. We walked further into the forest and found a small shack. When we entered we found several creatures that are now known as Changelings. They were harmless and quite friendly. I saw great care in her, until one day, one of the changelings stumbled into the forest and was discovered by Princess Luna. Luna saw it as a threat against the Kingdom and had it exterminated, or so she thought. Do you remember the changeling that hit you in the head?”

I nodded and the Elder continued, “I found him in the forest months ago, and it turned out that he was the one that escaped from Luna’s attack. Chrysalis however, saw nothing but hatred and one night decided to gather an army of Changelings and show them off to Equestria.. I was unaware though that she was. . .well. . .with child and banished her. At least not until I found out months later from Changeling 021. I have since then been monitoring her movements and keeping an out out on my daughter. I hope this answers your question.”

I nodded and said “It all makes sense now, but if I may ask, what is your name and why haven’t you tried to see your daughter?”

He looked at me and said “I am Mr. Z, I have not tried to see my daughter because. . .well. . .I know Chrysalis has spoiled her mind by telling her that I was a pathetic king, I was a horrible father, and that I banished both of them. . . but I didn’t banish Rose, only Chrysalis. Rose is and will always be the greatest queen that the Changelings need.”

I admit, I was tearing up, a bit when I heard this. I smiled though and said “Here’s what you should do, Confront Chrysalis about the attacks because we all know that she plans on more, then you tell her to stop following Rocket and his friends, and finally because Chrysalis is bound to bring Rose here, you get reunited and the love and happiness shall be Harmonized.”

He nodded and led me back to Ponyville where he then said, “Mr, Wisdom, before you go, you need to know that your mind has been erased to protect the ponies from knowing what happened on Nightmare Night. I look forward to meeting you again someday. If we ever need help, we will find you, and we will gracefully ask. Farewell.”

He walked back into the forest and began planning the confrontation.

Chapter VIII: Mr. Z's Dream

It had been only an hour after my meeting with Mr. Z. Before I knew Pinkie Pie appeared in my room and said “Wisdom, You got a friend at the door!” I thought I heard Pinkie ask the person at the door if they wanted cupcakes but I really don’t know.

I started my way to the door thinking to myself, ‘who could it possibly be,’ I arrived at the door to find a pony with a black coat and sunglasses on. He looked at me and said “Mr. Wisdom, I don’t believe we've had the pleasure of meeting. I am Mr. E, and I have come here with a message from Mr. Z. (Hands me the letter) He asks that you read it, while you follow me.

We started walking into the Everfree Forest, I began reading the letter which said,

“Dear Mr. Wisdom,

I believe our last encounter went proficiently, but I need your help with something. You are to follow Mr. E, to our rally point and then afterwards, you will begin your mission. I look forward to our wise confrontation.

Sincerely,

Mr. Z”

We arrived at some shack that was in the middle of nowhere. Then, when I thought I was bound to get hit on the head again, I sprung into action and prepared myself for the worse. But, I merely underestimated that I was standing over a hole and fell into it. I slid down this hole and it was FUN! It was like a water slide without the water. I saw a light approaching and before I could react, I found myself in the Garden of Peace.

I looked around and saw Mr. Z on a bench meditating near a pond. I walked on over and sat next to him. He then said (With eyes closed) “We have much work to do, but first may I enlighten you on a dream I had.”

I looked at him and said “Yes, tell me.”

-Z’s Dream- (Narrated by Mr. Z)

I found myself as a child, once again. I was alone, walking through the Everfree Forest, trying to find somewhere to stay warm, stay safe, and stay wise. I found a small shack and decided it was my best chance for safety, little did I know that it wasn't empty. I entered to see something moving in the back, I asked for it to not be afraid of me, for I meant it no harm.

Suddenly, it stopped moving and revealed itself. She walked out, a black pony with small wings that were damaged, but big beautiful eyes and as I gazed into her eye’s I knew she was destined for something. I asked a simple question. “Who are you?”

She responded to my question with, “Chrysaly, Who are you?”

I responded back with, “I am Zirconalis, Why are you here? Where are your parents?”

She began to tear up, she cried while responding, “My parents left me, I have nowhere else to go.”

I embraced her and told her ‘everything is going to be alright.’ Several days passed and I seem to remember her trying to find food while I looked for firewood. I heard her scream, but not in a frightful tone, but more in a joyful one. I ran over to find her with a creature, something I have never seen before. Before we knew it, more began to appear, and sooner or later we had thousands of these creatures around us. We tried to make communication but it appeared that they were appraising Chrysaly and I. They then transformed into ponies right before our eyes. At that point we looked at each and said “They shall be called Changelings.”

After several years we had obtained the Everfree Forest and could claim it as our own Kingdom. So, my first duty that I had fulfilled was asking Chrysaly to marry me. She accepted and we ruled the forest as King Zirconalis and Queen Chrysalis. Little did I know what was about to unfold.

At my Peace of Equestria meeting in which we had all of the royal members attend, we discussed the recent attacks from somewhere on the moon. Chrysalis was in the garden with changeling 021, who was like her own child. She took good care of 021 but made all the other changelings just as important.

When the meeting was over I went and met up with my Queen and we strolled on down to the grass lawn and laid down. She turned to me and said “I am so happy, I never want this to go away.” We kissed and went back inside.

That night, I had sent 021 on a mission to retrieve a package that contained something very special. When he went out the gate, there was a blast. We both flew to the explosion to find the backpack of 021 on the ground destroyed. Chrysalis looked up and saw somepony flying away and to Canterlot. She grew angry, and that night gathered all the changelings and was prepared to go to war against Canterlot. I had to put a stop to her plot. So I asked her to let me find out what happened. She yelled at me and said “I will do what you wouldn't do for 021!”

So then I told her that if she left, she would no longer be welcomed back to the kingdom. She left, and then one of my servants approached me and said “A letter just arrived for you, sir.” It Read;

‘Dear King Zirconalis,

After an extensive test period, we have confirmed that your wife, Queen Chrysalis is with Child.We wish you and your wife, many congratulations.

Sincerely,

The Doctor’

-End of Mr. Z’s Dream-

Mr. Z then started to cry. I hugged him and said “Proceed, open your mind and tell me what may be causing this dream.”

“Rose! I want her to know that I love her!” Mr. Z said with a big smile on his face.

I looked around and then had a thought and said, “And you can, we just need to get her here. You can always face Chrysalis and if possible, reveal that changeling 021 is still alive! There is Hope and there's Wisdom wherever you go.”

So we took the time to write a letter to Chrysalis informing her that she must report to a meeting with the council or be brought on full charges. It said,

"Dear Chrysaly,

You are hereby summoned to appear before the Wise council. If you do not show up then all charges will be placed upon you and you will be brought to justice, Swiftly, and without remorse. This is your only notice and warning, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!”

Sincerely,

The Wise Council"

Wisdom's: Peaceful Beginnings

Chapter IX: Reunited

All of us grew up in particular realities - a home, family, a clan, a small town, a neighborhood. Depending upon how we're brought up, we are either deeply aware of the particular reading of reality into which we are born, or we are peripherally aware of it.”- Chaim Potok

-Changeling 021’s listening-

I waited at the door as commanded to by the high and wise Zircon. I awaited for further orders while he and that other pony discussed Chrysalis’s arrival. All I could hear was Zircon questioning if he should see his daughter, even though she was already coming.

The other elders all gathered around the door and began listening in on the conversation until the door opened. and Zircon and Wisdom stepped out and said “Prepare for their arrival!”

I was ordered to watch Rose so she didn’t cause any trouble. I was also ordered to bring Chrysalis into the council chamber but without her knowing who I was. It made no sense to me, especially since I knew that she would just think of me as a worthless pony. Chrysalis and Rose arrived.

I entered the room and escorted Chrysalis to the Council Chamber while Rose was left in the waiting chamber. I left the chambers and then went to my room.

-Changeling 021 stops listening-

I was suppose to guide Rose into the chamber but before I could even approach the chamber where she was, I stopped to see Zircon pacing back and forth. I approached and asked if he was okay. He said, “I can’t do it, she thinks I am the bad pony here, she probably even thinks that I am a worthless father, who doesn’t even deserve to be around her.”

I looked at him and hoofed him across the face, while saying, “Snap out of it, Pull yourself together,Your Zircon, the wisest of all ponies. She is your daughter, she will accept you for who you are. Even though her mother has corrupted her mind, but with the help of Wisdom, Love, and honesty, she will love you, no matter what.”

He pulled himself together and said, “You’re Right, But before I meet her, I want you to meet Griffin, he has been awaiting for a chance to speak with you. Be aware, he is quite gifted.”

I said “Why does he need to meet me now, why can’t this wait?”

Zircon looks at me and says, “Because, I am sending him to Manehattan, for a special journey.”

I sighed and said, “Okay. When do I get to meet him?”

Zircon says, “Now! He is standing behind you.”

I turned around to see a griffin smiling at me and so I asked “Hows it going?”

I didn’t expect him to say as much as he did, but I do admit, he truly was gifted.

Griffin says, “Going? How is it going? Well, personally, for me it’s going good. Unless this is the possible future in which that pony raking the leaves over there, falls over onto that other pony, causing a violent fight, which then leads to their banishment from these peaceful lands, in which if that’s the case, I might want to step to my left to allow them to tumble on by. (everything he says. . .occurs) Or if it is the possible future in which you are about to find out a dark secret about one of your friends, who is secretly building up a dark power that is going to aid in Chrysalis’s attacks, then I would have to say, I am not good, I am not good at all. . .but that depends.”

I looked over to Zircon and said “So wait, Griffin, is a griffin, that can see multiple futures that have yet to occur?”

Zircon says, “Yes, but he is merely here to give you one thing. Isn’t that right Griffin!”

Griffin says “Oh yes! I have come here with a gift. This is the staff that the oldest of the wise elders gave me before he passed on. He told me that ‘One as wise as I shall use this staff for the conservation of Peace and Harmony’ and well I know that’s you. (Hands me a staff) Now since I must be going...”

I stop him and say “Going but you haven’t even been here for more then a few minutes.”

He says “Multiple negative futures are closing as we speak, I must get going.”

Griffin flies out and leaves for Manehattan but I know one day we shall meet up again.

I then told Zircon to wait while I brought Rose. I didn’t know how to enter the chamber and escort Rose to her father. Honestly, I knew it wasn’t going to be easy, since she knew that I knew the real reason behind the attacks. But, it had to be done.

So, I opened the door, walked into the room. I didn’t expect what was going to happen but it happened. She looked at me and freaked out. I walked closer and said “Now, I know this is going to sound weird to say but would you care to join me in the garden with your. . .um. . .father. He really wants to see you. He misses you, he loves you, and most of all, he cares for you. You should give him a chance to explain himself.

She had an expression that. . .well. . .was curious. She had to wonder how I got to the Council’s hive. She also had to wonder if she could trust me. She did however say “And if I follow you, you will guarantee that whatever happens never leaves the garden.” So using one of Pinkie’s oldest promise makers, I said, “Cross my heart, hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye.”

We nodded and she followed me into the garden. We entered the garden and she went over and began to smell all of the exotic flowers. She saw a pond and when she gazed into it, she saw another pony staring at her. She turned around and for once in her life, she was face to face with her father, once again after several long and painful years.

“Rose, my sweet, beautiful, little girl. Finally, after all these years, I can finally get to say what you need to hear, The Truth. (Rose nodded) Your mother probably has told you many negative things about me but if I can just show you that I never meant for what happened to happen, then hopefully, you will forgive me. I didn’t banish you, I merely banished your mother for crimes against the council and against Equestria. I don’t know what she has told you but as you can see I am not evil, I am not weak, and I am not a horrible king. I may not technically be a king anymore but I have decided that you are the rightful queen that the changelings deserve and need. Has your mother ever talked about a lost or deceased changeling?” Zircon says.

“Yes, 021, The one that was killed by Luna.” Rose says.

“Or so she thought. 021, has been living with me for many years now, he survived the attack by disguising himself as one of Luna’s guards. Now, I know this is shocking to you but you can not tell her about us seeing each other. I fear that if she finds out about this, then she will want to attack sooner. Just know that I do love you, you are the daughter of a wise pony, and of a. . .well. . .strategically advanced mother.”

They hugged and then Zircon went ahead to the Council’s Chambers where he was soon to face Chrysalis. I escorted her back to the chamber and then disappeared before she could ask me any questions.

Chapter X: The Hive's Library

As soon as I showed her back to the waiting room, she asked, “How did you get here, how do you know about the hive?” I knew that I couldn't tell her so I tried to get away from Rose because she had too many questions that needed to remain unanswered. I didn't know what to do, so, I went into a room marked ‘study’ and shut the door behind me. I could hear Rose opening the doors so I decided it was time to find a place to hide. I flew to the ceiling, hiding in a dark spot that was blanketed from the light. She entered, looked around and left. At that moment I knew I could finally explore the vast knowledge that these books contained.

I spent, hours reading every detail that I could see fit. It was amazing. I finally understood a lot more about the hive then any other pony ever would. Then, when it seemed as if everything was peaceful, the door opened, so in desperation I flew back up into that dark spot and watched as a beautiful pegasus pony walked around.

Then without a chance, she said, “Who’s in here?!”

I didn’t respond, but she continued by saying, “I know there’s a pony in here, you left a book on the floor. Now I don’t mean to be rude but you should really think about taking care of these wonderful encyclopedias of knowledge.”

I revealed myself. Landing gently behind her and saying, “I do apologize, but if I must be sincere in saying I didn’t know that there were other ponies, other then the wise council, around here.”

She shrieked, and said, “Who are you and how did you get in here, these are forbidden lands for wise and spiritual ponies only.”

I exhaled and said, “I am Inner Wisdom, I came here with Zircon to aid with some problems that he couldn't handle. I am awaiting for his confrontation with Chrysalis to finish. So in the meantime, I merely stumbled upon this study and began my journey for knowledge. Now, it is your turn, who are you?”

She stepped towards me and said, “I am Lily Peace, Daughter of Sequoia. You must show me why Zircon, one of the wisest ponies of all Equestria, chose you to help him.”

So I think about what to do and say, “Ask me any question that only a wise pony could answer.”

She thinks and says, “What is Peace?”

I smile and ponder on her question but come to a very wise answer, I say, “Peace is the balance of all things around us, nature, pride, joy, yin and yang, and even love. You see, we all coexist in this world not realizing that Peace is falling apart. That is why I have decided to take my journey and find Peace for all. Now if I may ask, why is a beautiful filly, such as yourself, still in this place. Why haven’t you moved on?”

She flies up and out of the room. I began chasing her but then her mother appeared and said, “Both of you, stop this chasing, this instant.”

“But mom, he started chasing me,” Lily says.

“I don’t care, I’m finishing it. As for you Wisdom, leave my daughter alone or you shall never see her again,” Sequoia says. Sequoia grabs Lily and they fly away towards the other side of the hive.

I went to the waiting room and find myself in the presence of Rose, once again, she tackles me to the ground and says, “Tell me how you found this place?”

“I stumbled upon it while looking for answers to who you really are. If it really makes you any happier then I guess Zircon did tell me where to go and since then I have known about the Hive and the Elder Council,” I say while still on the ground.

She releases me and says, “Oh! I am sorry for the problems I have caused you and your friends but I merely am curious about the safety of your friend Rocket. You see, his powers are already growing at an unstoppable rate. He is lucky enough to have escaped from the dungeon. I shall go check on him. For I worry he has yet to awaken. ”

“Griffin was right, he said I would learn a dark secret about one of my friends. I now see that Rocket is building up a dangerous power and he must learn to either control it, or to destroy it. This is a journey that you must take for you and him to balance out your mother’s evil. I can only do what I can to protect the ponies but I can’t harm Rocket nor my friends. I know that you like him Rose, I’ve seen the way you stare at him. It’s freaky but love always finds away. Let’s end this madness and begin the new era for the changelings,” I say while stretching a hoof out to her.

“Do you think he likes me, especially since he barely knows me,” Rose says.

“I do, because anything is possible, no matter how slow it takes for him to realize the fact that you love him, He will always do what he can to express himself, and whatever you do, this conversation never happened.” I say and we shake hooves.

Then Chrysalis yelled for Rose who took off towards her mother. I went into the chamber and was confronted by Zircon who told me, “Well, Negotiations failed. I guess this means that we better prepare for the worst. I recommend that you go back and prepare for her imminent invasion. Plus, your friend Rocket must be monitored and no matter what happens, you will find what you are looking for.”

Before I left I asked Zircon, “Who is Lily Peace? Why does Sequoia protect her from all interaction?”

Zircon then says, “Lily is a very special pony. Her mother protects her from all of those that killed her father. He was a good pony who didn't deserve to be killed by Chrysalis during the first war. I notice however that you are attracted to her. Sequoia has already sent her off towards Manehattan. I recommend helping your friends first, then afterwards, you will take the time to find her and tell her your feelings.”

I was a little worried about something and asked Zircon, “Will I ever see You or Lily ever again. I only ask because I feel like this might be the last time I ever see one of you.”

Zircon smiles and says, “We shall always be around. You have an amazing gift Wisdom, you can sense danger in your future before it occurs. You will give the ponies great advice, and your friends will always help you. I must go now, and prepare for the worst. I wish you luck Wisdom.” (Zircon exits)

“As do I, Zircon, stay wise my friend and keep in contact some way or another,” I say as I turn around to see that he has already left. So, I left the hive and headed for Ponyville not knowing how severe Rocket’s power has gotten.

Chapter XI: Rocket's Inner Monster

I arrived back to the Cake’s home. I ran up to my room and began getting ready for the ultimate spy mission. There was a crash and Pinkie Pie fell out of my closet. I said, “Pinkie Pie, what are you doing?”

Pinkie replied quickly and said, “Well I was going to try to say SURPRISE but Spirit tripped me and so instead I’ll just ask what you are doing?”

I sighed and paced back and forth telling Pinkie, “I have reason to believe that something bad is going to happen to Rocket Sky, I honestly believe that Chrysalis is going to try something that could harm him or make his hidden monster worse.”\

Pinkie gasped and said, “Monster, but Rocket is such a nice pony who couldn’t harm a fly.”

I responded swiftly with, “Yes, I know, but Rocket has a hidden side that he is trying to control. So, are you with me?”

She thought very diligently and then said, “As long as we pick up some sweets before.”

“Fine!” I said, as I threw on my spy suit.

We left and began our search. We started high and low, but when we grew exhausted we went and ordered some drinks and waited, diligently, for something to happen.

As we waited, Pinkie says to me, “Maybe we should go up higher to see if we can't spot Rocket or even Salad Top.”

“Pinkie that’s a great idea,” I say as we go up to the roof and see Rocket walking up the street.

"Are you sure your friend minds that we're spying on him?" Pinkie says, despite the fact that we were both dressed in spy suits and were sitting on top of a building that Rocket had passed, "I'm all for spying on Chrysalis, but where's the fun in spying on Rocket?"

"Something is going to happen, I just know it," I said, finishing off one of the special drinks Pinkie had ordered, "So if we follow Rocket we should be able to stop whatever it is in time."

Pinkie smiled. "Its our Pinkie Sense," she commented, looking through her binoculars, "Not even I completely understand it sometimes."

"Here comes our friend Salad Top," I said, spotting the mare just down the same street that Rocket was on, "and it seems that she's got company this time."

We watched carefully, and as we watched I noticed Rose approaching, and so I looked over to Pinkie and said, "You ready for this Pinkie?" Looking back to see the mare holding what looked like a missile launcher, I knew it was a good idea to bring it.

"Of course I'm ready silly," she answered, "If anything happens I'm ready to go to town on them."

After Rocket and Rose talked for a while, Pinkie and I noticed Chrysalis showing her true self and issuing an attack, again, on Rocket. I looked over to see Pinkie loading the rocket launcher and she said, “We will send them to their doom with the beauty of our new firework technique Flame Cakes."

I corrected her by saying, “I think you mean Flame Fu!?”

"Oh, well then. Flame Fu," Pinkie corrected herself and pressed what looked like a trigger.

A cluster of fireworks shot out of the launcher and barreled right into Chrysalis before exploding into a fury of lights. Citizens ran as the Changelings zoned in on their location, but upon arrival they found nothing on the rooftop. One of them hit the roof as Wisdom appeared above him, a wooden staff in hoof that he used to beat another into submission. He spun it around and hit another in the shin behind smacking the staff on his head, crashing the Changeling into the shop below.

Lets just say, a battle ensued, Ponies and stallions ran for cover, Peachy, Tick, and I were fighting valiantly, but before I realized, Chrysalis bit Rocket and something began to happen.

Dust kicked up as the energy built, blowing over stands of the Ponyville Market and knocking some unfortunate soldiers out of the air. The fighting halted as the wind churned and blinded the majority of them who couldn't use magic to shield their eyes. Most of the unicorns knew that something had happened and they didn't like it. Besides, the Royal Family, including Princess Twilight Sparkle and Discord, were facing the maelstrom that was causing the disturbance like something evil was going to emerge. Well, more evil than Discord anyway.

"What the BUCK was that?" Tick questioned after getting up from being thrown to the ground.

"Whose the wise pony who summoned the dust devil in the middle of a battlefield?"

"Dude, I don't think anypony summoned it," Vinyl commented, thankful she always wore her glasses as she pointed at the devil in question, "Whatever that Changeling Queen did is causing this."

"I hate to agree with the mare who sleeps during the day," Octavia said, slamming her hoof into the face of the Changeling she had been fighting before the devil had appeared, "and I hate pointing blame at anypony, but this madness is all her fault. "

The Crusaders' tank-wagon blew over and the top popped off as a firework hit a knocked over stand.

"What the..." Peachy said, rolling out of the contraption and staring at the sky, "What's causing this chaos?"

"Don't look at me." came a voice as Discord appeared behind her with a cup of tea in hand, claw, whatever he called his limbs, "I'm not the one causing this chaos. Chrysalis is seriously messing with the fundamentals of the world."

"Mister Discord," Sweetie Belle asked, pulling herself and her friends out of the wreckage, "aren't you the one who is usually messing with the fundamentals of the world anyway?"

"I have no idea what you just said," Applebloom commented, pulling out some fireworks, "but we have to get back to blasting those Changelings. Come on girls, let's give them a beating and get our Cutie Marks."

The energy suddenly dissipated and the air rippled, causing the dust to quickly gather and then burst outward, allowing everypony to see what rested in the center of all the dust. Gooed to the ground, with her hat covering her eyes from the dust, was Applejack, who moved her hat out of the way with a quick move of her head. Laying in front of Chrysalis, who had a big toothy grin, was Rose Petal, who looked like she had been smacked in the face. Standing next to the Changeling Queen was a stallion who seemed to radiate power.

And finally, IT was here. The mere monster Rocket had been trying to control, released upon Equestria, Dark Sky. Even when Discord tried to stop him, he failed. Then for some reason, Sombra showed up, and even he knew that we were all most likely BUCKED!

Even when the elements of harmony, Shining Armor, and the princesses tried to stop him, they failed.

Then Dark sky attacked, I whacked him with my staff, Tick smashed a guitar over his head, and Peachy was just about to attempt something but instead Rose stopped her and walked towards him. I knew that this was the right path for her, not because of her knowledge of him, but because Love triumphs over evil.

She walked up to him and before he struck her, she kissed him. The first thing Rose felt was the magic dispel from Rocket's horn. The monster roared and backed up, holding its head as if it was fighting itself now. Almost as if Rocket was trying to regain control and the monster wanted to remain in control. Then she noticed something that made her heart skip a beat; the skin surrounding the stallion was beginning to crack and light was beginning to shine from within.

We all watched as Dark Sky slowly was defeated. While we all watched it was about to get a whole lot more interesting. There was an explosion, and afterwards we all gathered to see, Rocket had become a full fledged ALICORN.

Now, I know many of you who are reading this were probably wondering, how an Alicorn, but the real wonder should be why not.

Chrysalis and Rocket argued but inevitably she admitted to her defeat and fled. Afterwards, lets just say, Rocket and Rose got married, and began their new live’s as King and Queen of the Changelings.

Wisdom's: Peaceful Beginnings

Chapter I: The Pre-Beginning

I, Inner Wisdom, shall tell you the story of The After Party by going back to before the beginning.

Our story begins back in the real world. Rocket, Momo (Peachy), Yves (Tick Tock) and I were celebrating the finale of season three of My Little Pony, Friendship is Magic in a house we shared together.

“Today is going to be a good day!” Twilight said from the television screen then the credits started.

“That was the greatest finale in MLP: FIM history (so far!)” Momo yelled excitedly

“Sure was, now we just have to wait several months for the next season.” Yves said as he looked at her with a smile on his face and started drinking a Red Bull. “I CAN’T WAIT!”

“Where did Jacob go? I know he said he had to go to the store but he’s been gone for an hour now.” Rocket interrupted Momo’s and Yves’ ‘girl’ screeches of excitement.

There was a sudden clinging sound outside. The three turned to see the door beginning to unlock. Momo ran to the door and began re-locking the door every time it was unlocked,

“Jacob is going to be so mad!” Rocket groaned, “Yves! Grab me that chair!” They tried to fight Momo away from the door but she blocked it.

They finally pulled her away with a jerk and all fell to see that I was standing in the kitchen.

“What the BUCK, How did you get in here?” Momo yelled using her pony phrases.

I looked at her in confusion, “I came in through the back door.” I said giggling slightly as pulled out several ingredients for my super scrumptious chocolate glazed strawberry cupcakes.

“Oh” they said in unison and got up

I had all the ingredients I needed and just when I was about to put the almost finished cupcakes in the oven, I put a special ingredient called Redhay (a concoction of my own) in the mix. I waited approximately 15 few minutes for them to bake and when they were done I took several of them out to my friends, after they cooled of course.

Momo saw me coming out of the kitchen with Cupcakes and begged me for one. “Ooh, he has cupcakes, I want one so bad! Wait, did you put anything in these cupcakes?”

I had a very quaint expression on my face. “I promise I didn’t put anything in the cupcakes other than the regular ingredients.” I smirked

My friends began devouring the cupcakes and after a few hours, we went outside and started being rowdy and uncontrollable. After several more hours of partying and cupcakes, my friends started losing control and so I knew I had to stop them. I didn’t eat as much cupcakes, so I went inside the house and grabbed a few sleeping pills and then put the pills in some Kool-Aid and told them to drink up. They drank all my Kool-Aid and then after about 30 minutes they grew tired.

We all decided to go to bed. It took us quite some time to get into a comfortable position. Tick laid on the couch, Momo slept in her bedroom, Rocket fell asleep in his bed, and I fell asleep in my room.

(Now is time for the beginning of The After Party)

There was a bright light in my face and I could hear some pony calling my name and when I awoke there was a pony with a lighter shade of blue staring at him. I freaked out and hit him until I found out he actually was Rocket.

It was hard at first to stand on all four hooves. He looked at me and after the pain I had given he went away. I told him I was sorry and then Rocket went ahead and told me that I was a pegasus and I looked at Rocket and told him he was a Unicorn. He then found out that he had a quill as a cutie mark. I had a yin-yang sign as a Cutie Mark and I was completely satisfied with that.

I began freaking out because of the pure confusion and because we were in Canterlot and that I had to deal with it. I tried out my wings and they helped me zoom around as I freaked out. Rocket went ahead and began waking up Momo and Yves. I knew that he was going to have greatness destined upon him because of his control over his magic. I then watched Rocket use his magic to expel some water onto Momo.

I couldn’t stop freaking out but at the same time laughing as Momo was shaking off the water until some of the water whacked me. Rocket then awoke Yves by doing the same process of dumping water onto him.

They then all started walking around and Rocket went ahead and silenced me with his hoof. Rocket went and asked a pony where the train station was. After we figured out where to go I decided it was time to explore the Palace (Especially since this is a once in a lifetime opportunity).

They went ahead and got in line at the train station. I went into the palace and using my wise knowledge went into the Royal Canterlot Library. What was really surprising to me was that I had the abilities of Pinkie Pie.

It was an amazing sight until a guard approached me and asked who I was. I pulled out a plastic identification card from out of nowhere and found out that my pony name is Inner Wisdom. I then entered the library and started exploring the amazing Star Swirl the Bearded wing. I began searching the library for anything that would give me the secrets of Knowledge.

Before I could continue, Princess Celestia and her guards entered the library and started trying to find me. They found me reading a book and questioned me about my Pinkie pie abilities. I then explained that “I’m not related to her but I have the same abilities.” I left the library and returned to the train station as too not create any more conversation.

I got to the train station with a very un-curious facial expression. Rocket approached the ticket counter and when he couldn’t figure out how to pay for the tickets I walked up and when they couldn’t figure out what their names were and then I approached the ticket master giving him our I.D’s thus giving the rest of them their names, Momo being Peachy Keen, Yves becoming Tick Tock and Rocket just adding the last name Sky.

I also gave him a ruby that surely would cover the cost of the tickets.

We boarded the train. I kept looking out the window and saw the royal guards approaching us.

“What did you do?” Rocket said as he looked at me

I peered right back at him “Oh, all I did was visit the library and brush up on my history,” and then when the train began to pull away. SAFE!

Peachy Keen and I began shooting spitballs at Tick Tock. He got upset and started running towards us. I decided to fly out of the train and when I looked back at Peachy who was yelling “TRAITOR!” I just winked and flew further up doing back flips, corkscrews, and when I had enough fun and had seen Tick Tock calm down, flew back into the train.
We arrived in Ponyville. Thus I knew that this journey had just begun.
