The purple Pony standing on the streets breathed in the clear mountain air allowing the fresh air to relax her. She extended her wings to their full span as she steadied herself for what she planned to do and with a few strong flaps took off into the starry night sky. Slowly with strong beats she climbed higher and higher bringing her above the tallest tower of the mountainous capital before she levelled off.

Surveying her surroundings before mentally marking a course to her destination so that now ahead was the tall tower where she hoped tonight would be the night everything changed. Silently she made her way to the balcony before landing softly on the polished marble. She took in a few more breaths to steady herself before confidently striding into the room.

Within the room a white colour Pony with a multi-hued mane sat with her back to the open balcony. She was completely engross in her work that she did not hear the purple Pegasus enter until she felt the soft, strong purple wings envelope her. The white Unicorn was a bit confused, but she turned to see the mysterious Pegasus who had suddenly arrived in the city only days before.

The mysterious Pegasus was captivating to the Unicorn Princess, she was strong, charming, yet almost no one in the Court recognized the proud Pegasus even though her fine armour and armaments hinted at her wealth and skill.

The purple Pegasus gave a small half smile, almost a smirk. With swift movements she placed the Unicorn Princess on her back before turning and galloping out onto the balcony where she launched herself into the night air.

The Unicorn Princess would have felt fear at her would be kidnapper yet she was nothing, but entranced by her and settled herself for the flight as the Pegasus soared over the lands. Below she could see more of her future Kingdom than she had ever seen or read in the Palace. Her parents and her sister would throw a fit later, but right now she didn’t care.

Her ears perked as she heard a low voice singing and realized that her Pegasus was singing to her! She smiled at the efforts the Pegasus was making to serenade her and ahead she saw that they were nearing a high plateau and that the mysterious Pegasus was preparing to land. She grinned broadly, tomorrow was for worrying, but tonight however was the chance to know her Pegasus better.


Twilight sighed loudly and even gave into to her urge to facehoof. It was the new Disneigh movie that had only recently came out and as was customary a copy was sent to Canterlot Castle. It had been a lazy and relaxing evening with Celestia or it was until Celestia had suggested they watched this new movie.

It was fine for about the first ten minutes. That was when Twilight realized the inspiration for the movie…. and how it exaggerated everything.

Looking up from her hoof she saw a grinning Celestia who wasn’t even paying attention to the movie anymore.

“This was your idea,” Twilight commented, “this has your hoof marks all over it.”

Celestia gave her lover a broad grin, “Oh Twilight, I have no idea what you’re talking about.”

Twilight sighed again and muttered, “And of course I fell in love with one of the biggest pranksters in Equestria.”

Celestia bent down and nuzzled Twilight, “Oh cheer up Twilight. The movie’s not that bad, I’ve watched it just before the made it public. It’s actually pretty good despite how inaccurate it may be.”

“Yes, me the bold warrior and you the reclusive Princess,” Twilight said sarcastically, “When did we suddenly change roles.”

Celestia wrapped a wing around the smaller Alicorn, “Just relax Twilight and watch. Better enjoy it now before Luna drags you into one of her movie nights.

Twilight shuddered at the thought and the memory of those movie marathons, before she relaxed and turned her attention back to the movie.
