Ch.1 The Assignment

One day, It was Monday, and Cheerilee was teaching a class of foals.

"And then you carry the two, and get thirty seven. Any questions?", asked Cheerilee

The class fell silent.

"Very well. Before you guys go, I have a special announcement. This Friday is Princess Appreciation Day. Does anybody know what that is?", asked Cheerilee

A white unicorn colt with a teal mane raised his hoof.

"It's the day we celebrate the princesses", said the colt

"That's right, Marshmellow Swirl. Back in the old days, the ponies of Equestria decided to make a day to thank the princesses for bringing the sun and moon for them everyday. So they made a holiday called Princess Appreciation Day. So Im gonna assign everypony in groups of two to make something to thank the princesses. Any questions?", asked Cheerilee

Rarity's son "Magnum" raises his hoof.

"Magnum", called Cheerilee

"What can we make?", asked Magnum

"Anything. A poem, A research paper, a drawing. Pretty much anything as long as it thanks the princesses", explained Cheerilee "Any more questions?"

The room fell silent.

"No, well ok let me assign your partners. Autumn Leaves you go with Hope Diamond. Briar Rose you go with Tulip. Hayseed you go with Screwball. Marshmellow Swirl you go with Pound Cake. Song Symphany you go with Pumpkin Cake. Cheese Whiz you go with Razor Wind. And since we have an odd number, Bloomburg, Magnum, and Love In The Mist are working together. The project is due Friday, and make sure it's good cause the princesses are coming to view them", assigned Cheerilee

The students gasped.

"And the princesses will pick which prize is the best. And whoever wins, not only gets an A, like the rest of the students who will partcipate, they will also spend the day with the princesses at Canterlot", explained Cheerilee

The students gasped then the belle rang, and everypony left


The Mane six's kids changed over time and finally got their cutie marks. Twilight's daughter Love In The Mist's cutie mark was a magenta heart surrounded by a blue aura. Rainbow Dash's son Razor Wind's cutie looked was a couple of power saw blades with a breeze. Fluttershy's daughter Autumn Leaves' cutie mark were a couple of fall leaves. Rarity's daughter Hope Diamond's cutie mark was a couple of blue diamonds. Her son Magnum's cutie mark was a basketball. Pinkie Pie's son Cheese Whiz's cutie mark was a slice of cheese. Applejack's son Bloomburg's cutie mark was an apple tree.
"So what should we do for our project?", asked Magnum

"Well, my mom owns a library, so we can probably get a book about princesses to give us a couple of ideas", suggested Misty (Love In The Mist)

"Book, that's it", said Bloomburg

"What?", asked Misty

"We should make a book, and read it in front of the princesses", suggested Bloomburg

"That's genius, but the princesses have so many stories. What should we write about?", asked Magnum

"How about when Auntie Celestia defeated Nightmare Moon with the Elements of Harmony", suggested Misty

"Perfect", said Bloomburg

Then, Briar Rose and Tulip showed up. Briar was Forsythia's daughter. She was a red unicorn filly with a magenta mane and a gold rose cutie mark. Tulip was Cheerilee's daughter. She was a yellow earth pony with a pink and blue mane and a white tulip cutie mark.

"Hey Bloomburg", greeted Briar

"Oh hey Briar", replied Bloomburg blushing

"So what are you doing for Princess Appreciation Day? Tulip and I are making a tapestry", explained Briar

"Whats a tapestry?", asked Magnum

"It's like a banner, but they kinda tell stories", explained Tulip

"Cool, were writing a story about how Princess Celestia defeated Nightmare Moon", explained Misty

"Cool, Im sure it's gonna be great. Well we love to stay and chat but we need to work on our project. Bye", said Briar walking away with Tulip

"Bye", replied Bloomburg blushing

Then Hope Diamond and Autumn showed up.

"What's with Bloomburg?", asked Autumn

"He's head over heels with Briar Rose", explained Magnum

"Ah, Brother, Autumn and I are heading to our house to work on our project. If you want, you guys can come with us to work on your project", offered Hope

"No thanks sis, the three of us are going to Bloomburg's house", explained Magnum

"Suit yourself", said Hope

Then they walked to Carousel Boutique.

"What the hay Magnum?! You know we can't go to my house", said Bloomburg

"But why?", asked Magnum

"My sisters. They'll ruin everything", explained Bloomburg

"Oh c'mon they're just a couple of angels", said Misty

"Yeah man, what could go wrong?", asked Magnum

"Everything", said Bloomburg

"Can we just go to your house?", asked Misty

"FINE", yelled Bloomburg

Then the three of them head over to Sweet Apple Acres.

At Sweet Apple Acres, Applejack was sitting outside with her dog Winona. Then her twin daughters Apple Heart and Apple Sweets ran out. Apple Heart was a white earth pony with a reddish pink mane. Apple Sweets was a tan earth pony with a reddish pink mane. They were two years younger than Bloomburg and they didn't have their cutie marks.

"MOMMY", yelled the girls

"Whats wrong, sugarcubes?", asked Applejack

"Sweets and I are playing princesses, but we both wanna be Celestia. But there can only be one Celestia", explained Apple Heart

"What's wrong with Princess Luna?", asked Applejack

"We like her, but we like Celestia better", explained Apple Sweets

"Then there's one way to solve this. Since Celestia was the oldest, we'll decide that the oldest be Celestia", explained Applejack

"But we were born on the same day", explained Apple Heart

"I know, but the stork delivered one of you first then the other", explained Applejack

"So who did the stork deliver first?", asked Apple Sweets

"Apple Heart was born first, so she can be Celestia", explained Applejack

"YES", cheered Apple Heart

"Well, I guess Luna will be ok too", said Apple Sweets

"Thanks Mommy", said the twins

"Your welcome, sugarcubes", replied Applejack nuzzling them

Then they ran into the house.

"Winona, Im glad I didn't have triplets", said Applejack petting her

Bloomburg, Magnum, and Misty showed up. Winona ran towards them and started liking them.

"Winona, stop", said Bloomburg

"Howdy sugarcube, how was school?", asked Applejack

"Good. This Friday is Princess Appreciation Day, so we have to make a project to thank the princesses", explained Bloomburg

"Oh, so what are y'all doin?", asked Applejack

"Were making a book about how Auntie Celestia used the Elements to defeat Nightmare Moon", explained Misty

"And then were gonna read it in front of the princesses", explained Magnum

"And it's also a contest, so if we win, we get to spend the day with the princesses in Canterlot", explained Magnum

"I think it'll be great, because I bearly get to spend time with my Aunts", said Misty

"And parents are welcome to come too", explained Bloomburg

"Oh Bloomy, your father, sisters, and I will be happy to come", said Applejack hugging him

"Speaking of which, Is Pa home?", asked Bloomburg

"No sugarcube, he's still working", explained Applejack

"Oh, ok. Well, we better work on our project. Bye Ma", said Bloomburg

"Seeya sugarcube", replied Applejack

They walked in the house. Then the twins ran in and tackled Bloomburg

"BLOOMY", yelled the twins

"Howdy little ladies, whatcha doin?", asked Bloomburg

"Were playing princesses. Im Princess Celestia", said Apple Heart

"And Im Princess Luna", explained Apple Sweets

"Well, your majesties, my friends and I are working on a project. So can you two princesses not disturb us?", asked Bloomburg

"Ok, we have to train our royal guard anyway", said Apple Heart pointing to Winona wearing a royal guard costume

"Thanks, little ladies", said Bloomburg walking upstairs

When things couldn't get better, a couple bad things happen.

"Are you sure were allowed to be in here Heart? Bloomy said he's working on a project", explained Apple Sweets

"He's not working on anything now is he?", said Apple Heart

"Good point", said Apple Sweets

Then they walked into Bloomburg's room and shut the door. After having their lunch, Bloomburg and his friends went back to his room and found the teins having a tea party.

"Girls, what are you doing here? I told you two not to come in my room", said Bloomburg

"Sorry Bloomy, we thought you were done", said Apple Heart

"We'll just leave", said Apple Sweets

They got up and Apple Sweets tipped over her tea pot thus spilling water all over the book.

"Oops", said Apple Sweets

"Oh no the book", said Bloomburg picking it up

Applejack runs in the room.

"Whats going on?", asked Applejack

"The girls came in my room when I told them not to, and got my project wet", explained Bloomburg

They walked upstairs and started to work on the project.

"Hang on, wheres the paint?", asked Misty

"Oh no, I left it at school", said Bloomburg

"Thats alright dude, we'll go back and get them", said Magnum

Then they left to get the paints. A couple minutes later, the twins walked into Bloomburg's room.

"Are you sure its in here?", asked Apple Sweets

"Yes, I know I left a teacup in here", said Apple Heart

"Oh there it is", said Apple Sweets picking it up

Then they noticed Bloomburg's unfinished project.

"What's that?", asked Apple Sweets

Apple Heart opens it and finds a bunch of colorless pictures.

"I think it's a coloring book about the princesses", guessed Apple Heart

"Lets color in it", said Apple Sweets

"Ok", said Apple Heart

They took the book and ran out of the room. A couple minutes later, Bloomburg and his friends came back.

"Wheres the book?", asked Magnum

"Isn't it on the desk?", asked Bloomburg

"No", said Magnum

"I don't get it, I was sure I put it on the desk. C'mon lets go ask the twins if they've seen it", said Bloomburg

Then they walked in the girls room.

"Hey little ladies have you seen-", asked Bloomburg

"We thought it was a coloring book", explained Apple Sweets

"It's alright, you guys are just glad I bought another book", said Bloomburg walking away with his friends

Caramel turns to the twins.

"Ok girls, from now on, whenever your brother has a project, I don't want you to go into his room. Okay?", said Caramel

"Ok", said the twins

It was Wednesday, Princess Appreciation Day was in two days. As soon as school was over, they ran over to the barn and started working on the book. After 3 hours of writing, it was done.

"Well guys, THE BOOK IS COMPLETE", yelled Bloomburg with delight

"HOORAY", cheered Magnum and Misty

"BLOOMBURG, DINNER'S READY", called Applejack

"Well, we should probably get going", said Misty

"Later dude", Magnum "Hey Misty, you think you can teleport me home?"

"Sure hold tight", replied Misty

Misty casted a spell and they were gone. A couple minutes later, Applejack, Caramel, Bloomburg, the twins, and Applebloom sat at the table(Big Mac lives with Fluttershy, and Granny lives in a retirement home in Ponyville now).

"So Bloomy how's your project?", asked Applebloom

"Aunt Applebloom, stop calling me that, and it's done", explained Bloomburg

"Does that mean we can read it now?", asked Apple Heart

"No, I want y'all to be suprised when I read it in front of the princesses", explained Bloomburg

"Awwww", moaned the twins

"May I be excused Ma, I wanna get plenty of rest for Princess Appreciation Day", asked Bloomburg

"Sure sugarcube", replied Applejack

Then he went to sleep. The next day, Bloomburg and Applebloom went to school. Caramel worked the apple cart. And Applejack and the twins stayed home. The girls decide to play with their dolls while their mom worked the orchard.

"Im bored", said Apple Sweets

"Me too", replied Apple Heart

"Wanna read Bloomy's book?", asked Apple Sweets

"But Bloomy said not to read it", said Apple Heart

"C'mon it'll only be a couple of pages", said Apple Sweets

"Ok", said Apple Heart

They ran into Bloomburg's room and read his book.

"You know, we should call Winona", said Apple Sweets

"Yeah, she loves books", said Apple Heart

"HERE WINONA HERE GIRL", called Apple Sweets

Winona ran in the room and took the book.

"NO GIVE IT BACK", yelled Apple Heart

Winona ran out of the room and into the orchard.

"STOP THAT DOG", yelled Apple Sweets

They ran out of the house and into the orchard. It took forever for them to catch Winona.

"It's no use, we'll never catch her", said Apple Heart

"WINONA", yelled a voice

The twins turned around and saw Applejack. Winona walked over to her and sat down.

"WINONA DROP IT", yelled Applejack

Winona did so. The book was covered in bite marks and saliva.

"Oh no, Bloomy's project", said Apple Sweets

"Ok what's going on?", asked Applejack

The twins explained everything to Applejack and Bloomburg when he came home.

"NO NO NO", yelled Bloomburg

"You can make another one right?", asked Apple Heart

"The project is due tomorrow. Theres no time to make another one", explained Bloomburg

"Were sorry Bloomy, I wish there was something we can do", said Apple Sweets

"Maybe there is", said Bloomburg

Ch.7 Problem Solved

The next day was Princess Appreciation Day. Every filly and colt had to present their projects to The Princesses. Briar and Tulip finished their tapestry. It had the cutie marks of all four princesses on it. Hope and Autumn made dresses inspired by the princesses. Whiz and Razor Wind made an air show with the party cannon. When they were done, everypony clapped.

"Thank you Cheese Whiz and Razor Wind for their exciting air show. Next up, we have Bloomburg, Magnum, and Love In The Mist reading a story about the princesses", announced Cheerilee

Bloomburg walked onto the stage with his friends.

"Thank you, this is the story about how Princess Celestia used the Elements of Harmony to defeat Nightmare Moon. I was the just gonna read it then I thought why not actually make the story come to life. So joining me is my two little sisters, Apple Heart who is playing Princess Celestia, and Apple Sweets as Princess Luna", announced Bloomburg

The twins came onto the stage dressed as Princess and the crowed aww'd.

"Once upon a time, in the magical land of Equestria, there were two regal sisters who ruled together, and created harmony for all the land. To do this, the eldest used her unicorn powers to raise the sun at dawn", said Bloomburg

"I will now raise the sun", said Apple Heart

She pretended to raise the sun. Misty used her magic to raise a fake sun.

"the younger brought out the moon to begin the night. Thus, the two sisters maintained balance for their kingdom and their subjects, all the different types of ponies", said Bloomburg

"I will now raise the moon", said Apple Sweets

She pretented to raise the moon. Magnum used his magic to raise a fake moon and set the fake sun.

"But as time went on, the younger sister became resentful. The ponies relished and played in the day her elder sister brought forth, but shunned and slept through her beautiful night", said Bloomburg

Misty raised the fake sun and moon. Magnum pretented to frolic and Misty pretented to sleep.

"Im sick of ponies playing in my sister's stupid day and sleeping in my beautiful night", said Apple Sweets

"One fateful day, the younger unicorn refused to lower the moon to make way for the dawn", said Bloomburg

Misty raised the fake sun.

"Sister, please lower the moon. It is almost dawn", said Apple Heart

"No", said Apple Sweets

"The elder sister tried to reason with her, but the bitterness in the young one's heart had transformed her into a wicked mare of darkness", said Bloomburg

"Please Luna, the ponies need the sun", begged Apple Heart

"NO, IM TIRED OF PONIES SLEEPING IN MY NIGHT! I SHALL BECOME…", said Apple Sweets putting on a helmet "NIGHTMARE MOON"

"She vowed that she would shroud the land in eternal night", said Bloomburg

Misty raised the fake moon.

"THE NIGHT SHALL LAST FOREVER", yelled Apple Sweets

"Reluctantly, the elder sister harnessed the most powerful magic known to ponydom: the Elements of Harmony. Using the magic of the Elements of Harmony, she defeated her younger sister, and banished her permanently in the moon", said Bloomburg

"EAT ELEMENTS", yelled Apple Heart using fake elements

"NOOOOO", yelled Apple Sweets who pretented to faint

Misty raised the fake sun and Apple Sweets ran off stage.

"The elder sister took on responsibility for both sun and moon and harmony has been maintained in Equestria for generations since", said Bloomburg

Misty raised and lowered the fake sun and moon.

"A thousand years later, Nightmare Moon has returned and kidnapped Princess Celestia", said Bloomburg

Apple Sweets ran on stage and grabbed Apple Heart and took her backstage.

"GOTCHA", yelled Apple Sweets

"HELP", yelled Apple Heart

"So it was up to Princess Twilight Sparkle and her friends to use the Elements of Harmony", said Bloomburg

Misty used her magic to move a couple manequins resembling the Mane Six wearing the fake elements. Misty used a bright light on Apple Sweets.

"NOOO! NOT THE ELEMENTS", yelled Apple Sweets shielding herself

"After they used the elements, Princess Luna returned and found the error of her ways", said Bloomburg

"Im sorry sister, can you ever forgive me?", asked Apple Sweets

"Ok", said Apple Heart hugging her

"They ruled together once again in harmony, and they lived happily ever after. The End", said Bloomburg

Everypony stood up and clapped, even the Princesses. Then Princess Celestia and Luna walked on stage.

"Thank you everypony for your wonderful gifts, as you know we can only take one group to take with us to Canterlot, and we choose…Bloomburg Apple, Magnum, and Princess Love In The Mist", announced Celestia

The three foals ran on stage and shook hands with the princess.

"Thank you, your majesty. But before we go, can I ask you something?", asked Bloomburg

"Yes child?", asked Celestia

"I was wondering if my sisters can come too. They're huge fans of you", asked Bloomburg

"Plus, they were part of the project too", explained Magnum

"Well, I don't see why not", said Luna

"You here that girls, you can come too", called Bloomburg

The twins ran on stage an stared at the princesses.

"Your Princess Celestia", said Apple Heart

"Indeed I am young one", said Celestia

"I think Im gonna faint, catch me Sweets", said Apple Heart

"Huh?", said Apple Sweets not listening

Apple Heart fainted and fell on her head while everypony left.

A couple minutes later, Bloomburg was packing his stuff. Then Briar showed up.

"Bloomburg", said Briar

"Oh hey Briar", replied Bloomburg blushing

"I thought your story was great", said Briar

"Oh well thank you, I like your tapestry too", said Bloomburg

"Oh thanks, hey I was wondering if you would like to go Sugarcube Corner tomorrow for a couple of milkshakes", asked Briar

"That would be great", said Bloomburg

"Great, well I'll seeya later", said Briar walking away

Applejack, Caramel, and the twins showed up.

"Oh Bloomy, there you are", said Applejack

"Now that you're all here, we have something to tell you", said Caramel

"What is it?", asked Bloomburg

"Im pregnant again", announced Applejack
