It had been a few days since the invitations to the leaders all over Equestria were given out, and today they were all coming to Canterlot for the meeting.
"I hope that nothing bad happens this time," Princess Twilight said to her former teacher Celestia.
"I'm sure that nothing will happen this time Twilight," she said smiling gently "After all all of our enemies are now either our friends or taken care of right?" she asked.
"I guess so," Twilight said agreeing but still having a bad feeling about this.
But all of those thoughts were taken off as the first of the guest started to arrive.
"Announcing the Duke and Duchess of Maretionia," the pony at the door said loudly so every one could hear him "Announcing the Sultan and Sultana of Saddle-Arabia. Announcing Chief Thunderhooves and his daughter Little Strong Heart. Announcing the Dragon Lord, Princess Ember. Representing Griffionstone Gilda and Gabby. Announcing the Prince of Yak-Yakistan. Announcing the Emperor and Empress of Zebrabwe. Announcing the Royal Family of the Crystal Empire." this one getting a few ponies and guest to look up because they had not been lucky enough to see the newest Princess yet.
"Twily," Shining said hugging his sister happily.
"Hey Shining, Cadence, and Baby Flurry," Twilight said hugging them back "So glad you could make it," she said meaning it.
"Auntie Twi!" Flurry Heart, now three and a half years old said waddling up to her favorite auntie and hugging her.
"It is nice to see all of you," Celestia said smiling watching them enter the hall with the other guest ad the last and final guest of the evening showed up.
"And finally" the pony at the door said "Announcing the Ruler of the Changelings King Thorax!" he called out, everyone who was not part of the Pony-napping, or the Castle Guards turning to look at him confuse and amazed, because they were sure it was someone called 'Queen Chrysalis' that was occupied that role.
"Oh, please just Thorax will be fine," the guest said looking around and seeing his friends and coming over to meet them.
"Nice to see you again Thorax," Celestia said bowing lightly to him "I hope the Changeling Kingdom is doing well."
"Well we did just finish rebuilding if that's what you mean," Thorax said smiling, leaving out the part about Derby coming in and ruining it "Oh and I brought some things to give out as gifts, made by my people," he said lifting the saddlebag off his back and and holding it up.
"I am sure we will all love them," Celestia said smiling leading Thorax and Twilight into the meeting room.
Just as everyone was about to sit down and start, there came a knock on the door.
"That's not right," Twilight said going through her list of guest and checking them off, not forgetting to add herself, Celestia, Luna, and her friends and Spike and Starlight Glimmer.
There came another knock on the door.
"Er, shouldn't somepony go and open the door?" Rainbow Dash asked but Shining Armour was already there opening the door ready to attack if need be.
But all that was on the other side was a tall light brown beautiful, ruby red maned, Pegasus mare, with sea green eyes and a cutie mark of pair of four hole black buttons.
"Oh dear am I too late for this Meeting of Leaders?" she asked worried looking around "Well then I guess I shall have to go, sorry for disturbing you."
"Wait, please," Twilight said transporting herself next to Shining Armour "First of, Ma'am who are you?" she asked going over her list again.
"Why I am known by my people as the Belledam," she said smiling answering the question.
The other leaders all looked to each other and slightly asked each other if they had heard of this pony before.
No one had.
"And whom may these people be, Miss Belledam?" Princess Luna asked stepping forwards.
"The Ponies and of Gallopagos Islands," she answered kindly, getting strange looks from everyone in return.
"Er, Where?" Rainbow Dash asked the question everyone was thinking.
"They're a very new bunch of islands out a few hundred miles out to sea," she explained.
"Then excuse me, Miss Belledam," Twilight said giving up on her list "But how did you learn of this meeting."
"I was out one day checking on my ponies seeing if they were doing alright, when a grey mail mare came to our island," she began explaining everyone listening carefully, little by little trusting this mare, but Thorax was not convinced just yet. There was something familiar with her, he just couldn't place it.
"Believing she was lost, because she looked it," The Belledam continued "I went over to see what was wrong and she told me all about the Meeting."
"Well I suppose, if you are a leader, that we can not send you away," Celestia said thinking looking to her sister for a second opinion who nodded too "Welcome to the meeting Belledam. Now let us all get some food and rest, the main part of the meeting will be tomorrow." the Sun Princess said leading everyone into the long dining hall again, telling the maids to set up another guest room.
"I look forwards to it, Princess Celestia," the Belledam said smiling to herself and following the others.
