(AN: Okay, I want to explain what Timmy's fairies are in this story. Cosmo, Wanda, and Poof are a type of pony called "Breezies." A breezie is a type of pony from the G3 era of MLP; they're essentially a fairy-like pony. With that said, let's continue.)
Of Fairies and Ponies

Elsewhere, a black shadow figure witnessed Timmy and the group climb onto a carriage that was being carried by a team of four pegasi. “So the Elements of Harmony are heading to Canterlot, are they?” the figure said in a female voice. “Well, even with their new friends, they won't be able to stop me once I reach my full potential,” she cackled.
Up in the sky, Trixie was talking to Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy. “Say, why is that you two are riding along with us? Can't you two just fly to Canterlot?” “We can; it's just that we've been invited by the princess,” said Rainbow. “And it's also part of Equestrian tradition and protocol,” added Twilight. “Huh, and I thought the security at the airport was a pain in the neck!” thought Trixie.
20 minutes later, the carriage landed in the courtyard of Canterlot Castle. The six ponies got out with Timmy and Trixie following behind them. “This is quite a magnificent place,” muttered Timmy. “This castle sure is pretty; almost as pretty as me!” Trixie said in amazement. As the ponies made their way through the palace, they arrived at a grand hall and approached a large doorway, where two tough-looking pegasi stood guard with one of their wings blocking the double doors. One of the pegasi looked down towards Twilight. “Miss Sparkle?” the pegasus guard said. “Yes?” replied Twilight. “The princesses will see you now,” the second pegasus guard said. Both of the guards lowered their wings as the door opened.
They were lead into a huge cathedral-like chamber. At the end of the chamber were two thrones, each marked with the sun and the moon. On the one marked with the sun sat a large white alicorn. She wore all sorts of royal jewelery. Her mane and tail were three-toned in blue, pink, and green; both of which were flowing in the air, even though there was no wind. To Timmy and Trixie, this alicorn was not only beautiful, but she also gave off a presence that made them feel like they were face-to-face with the Supreme Being itself.
Twilight Sparkle walked up to the alicorn. “Twilight Sparkle,” she said in a soothing, motherly tone. Twilight then galloped towards the alicorn and craned her neck over hers. “Princess Celestia!” Twilight squealed happily. “That's the princess?” said Timmy and Trixie together. “What seems to be the problem, princess?” asked Twilight. “I'll tell you all after Princess Luna is finished using the bathroom,” said Celestia.
Just then, the sound of a toilet being flushed was heard, followed by a dark blue alicorn bursting the bathroom door wide open. This alicorn looked similar to Celestia, only she had a flowing blue mane and her cutie mark was the moon in the night sky. “Do not be hasty entering that bathroom; we had Taco Bellflower for lunch!” the alicorn said in a booming voice. “Save the Royal Canterlot Voice for your night addresses, Luna; we've got guests,” deadpanned Celestia. “Oh, the Elements of Harmony and friends, welcome!” said Luna. “Who's this alicorn, Twilight?” asked Timmy. “That's Celestia's sister, Princess Luna,” she replied.
Princess Celestia looked to Timmy and Trixie. “You two must be Timmy and Trixie, am I right?” she said. “That's us!” said Trixie. “And where are your godparents; Cosmo, Wanda, and Poof?” she said just as the three Breezies appeared hovering above Timmy. “What! You know them, too? Wow, you are as omnipontent as I thought you were!” Timmy said. “Thanks. Now you're wondering why you two are here,” said Celestia. “Other than coming here from out of nowhere, I faded in and out about most things, except the part where Timmy and I were meant to stop some upcoming apocalypse. Just what is this apocalypse supposed to be?” asked Trixie. Celestia sighed. “Well then, let me tell you both the story of Nightmare Moon.”
“Long ago, my sister and I were in charge of controlling day and night. Luna controlled the moon, while I controlled the sun. But after some time, Luna began to grow jealous over the fact that nopony appreciated the beauty of the night and slept through it while they were active during the day. Consumed by her envy and rage, she transformed into Nightmare Moon, an evil being who wished eternal night upon the land. Even though I didn't want to, I had no other choice but to use the six Elements of Harmony; kindness, honesty, generosity, loyalty, laughter, and magic; to banish her into the moon. It was not until 1000 years later that she escaped. Twilight and her friends found the Elements and turned her back to normal...or so I thought. In a last-ditch effort, Nightmare Moon retreated into Luna's mind, where she stayed until last spring. Currently, the whereabouts of Nightmare Moon are still unknown, but it is believed that she will be returning on the night of the winter solstice to exact her revenge.”
After Celestia finished, Luna began to cry a bit. “It's alright, Luna. This was not your fault,” she said. “We know, sister,” replied Luna. “You still haven't told us why we're here,” said Trixie. “If you must know, Twilight and her friends each carry one of the six Elements, but you two seem to have all six divided between the two of you. So I went to your world to bring you here to Equestria. I had no idea that our deep magic would affect you and your friends,” said Celestia. “Deep magic? What's that?” asked Trixie. “Deep magic is the force that governs each universe; it determines what the people look within the universe,” explained Celestia. “That would probably explain why I became bulgy when I went to Retroville,” thought Timmy.
“Wait, is it possible for someone to embody more than one Element of Harmony?” asked Twilight. “Sure as hay must be, sugahcube...even though ah can't believe it either,” said Applejack. Timmy facehoofed and whispered, “If I wasn't the hero chosen by the fairies, I'd be wondering why stuff like this happens to me.” He put his hoof down and looked at Celestia. “Okay, we'll do whatever we can to stop Nightmare Moon!” Celestia smiled. “Thank you; thank you all. You're free to go now.” The ponies bowed and turned to leave with Timmy and Trixie behind them. “I only hope they'll be okay,” Celestia thought.
