> Pony Planets > by PrometheusChained > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Chapter 1 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pony Planets Twilight and her friends walked down the halls of Canterlot to meet with the Princesses. Something about a new spell or something. It wasn't often that one had the privilege to assist the Princess. Rainbow was getting anxious ''Come on, Twi. What's the new spell?'' Twilight was all worked up over the fact that she would assist Celestia with the shared spellcasting of a never before heard of spell. The very thought of it made her smile like a filly in a toy shop. Or in her case, a library. She felt like the most luckiest pony in all of Equestria. No, not just in her country. She was the luckiest pony in all the planet. She almost screamed in excitement ''I have no idea!!!'' Rarity reminded ''Twilight, Dear. Perhaps you could use your indoor voice?'' Twilight blushed. Applejack said ''Well what are we waitin for? Lets cast us a spell.'' The doors to the throne room opened up, revealing the Princess in all her flawless glory. She sat on her throne sipping tea. The first thing Twilight noticed besides Celestia, was the presence of Luna, who was busy reading some notes, with a book in mid air via her levitation spell. The book in question had a notable cover of what looked like a unicorn being imprisoned inside a planet. Celestia set her tea aside upon Twilight's arrival. With a warm smile she welcomed ''Princess Twilight Sparkle! It is good to see you've accepted my offer.'' Twilight cleared her throat ''How could I say 'no' to such an opportunity?'' The Princess of the Sun nodded before acknowledging ''And I see you've brought the other bearers with you.'' ''Yes, well they wanted to help,'' she rubbed her mane with her hoof ''if that's alright with you that is?'' Celestia chuckled ''It's perfectly alright,'' she then asked the bearers ''Is everypony prepared? Or are their any questions?'' Applejack spoke up ''Princess, what exactly are we dealin with?'' Celestia smiled ''Since the Crystal Empires return, we have received glimpses of insight into what Equestria was like before Discords rule. Due to the commendable efforts of one Daring Do,-'' Rainbow interrupted with a cheer ''Alright Daring!'' The Princess continued ''-we have rediscovered what could be the spell that lead to the creation of both me and my sister.'' Everypony aside from Celestia and Luna gasped. Twilight asked ''So this spell can create Alicorns!?'' ''According to our studies, No! It seems that there is some other purpose for it.'' Pinkie asked while raising a hoof as if she where in filly school again ''Oh oh oh. I know! I know!'' Celestia answered ''This spell allows one to control a celestial object.'' Twilight asked with confusion and shock ''What so, let me get this straight. You want me to cast a spell that could allow us to tamper with the natural order of the cosmos?'' Luna spoke up ''You would be correct, had it not been the case that the natural order of things weren't tampered with already.'' Applejack said ''Uh, excuse me Princess Luna. But what exactly do ya mean ta say.'' Celestia answered her question ''What if I told you that our Sun, Kronus, was not meant to orbit planet Hestia, but the other way around.'' Everypony in the room gasped dramatically, except Celestia and Luna. After a moment of silence, Twilight gulped and protested ''C-Celestia? I don't know if this is a very good idea. I mean, this has bad news written all over it. Celestia giggled at her students silly attitude ''Oh, Twilight. When have I ever failed?'' Twilight felt a brick wall smack into her and couldn't help but call her out on her crap. ''Oh lets see. Oh, I know! How about the time you let your guard down against Nightmare Moon. Or the time you got your flank kicked by that insect queen.'' The rest of the Mane 6 stared at Twilight in disbelief. Was she really smack talking the ruler of their nation? Celestia shrank back at Twilights harsh words, and started to whimper ''I-I thought you understood? But I guess if you don't want to discover what secrets lie beyond this spell, then I w-won't stop you.'' She started producing crocodile tears. Nopony bought into her ruse, as indicated by them just staring. Twilight adopted a worried expression ''Princess Celestia? What's gotten in to you, lately?'' Celestia stood back up and started rubbing her head as if she had some kind of headache Twilight walked up to her ''Princess, perhaps it's best we take a day or two to think about it. ''Oh, I don't think that would be very wise.'' Everypony recognized the familiar voice and looked around. Celestia yelling out ''Discord!!! Show yourself!'' A bright flash filled the room then ended to leave behind the Spirit of Chaos. Discord smirked and bowed down to the Princess mockingly ''Why Princess! What harsh tone you have! ''Enough! Why are you even here?'' Discord crossed his arms and grumbled like a child. Clearly, Celestia wasn't in a good mood when he was around, ever. He explained ''Well I just so happened to be in the neighborhood, and by neighborhood, I mean 'just around the corner'. Then I caught wind of what your lackey Twilight said, and I thought that a good way for all of us to be the best of friends would be for me to give you a helping hoof in ...whatever it is you're doing?'' With a snap of his talon, he teleported the book Celestia held in her levitational grasp, and in to his lion paw while asking ''What is it you're all reading anyway?'' Twilight charged her horn ''Give it back before I turn you into an orange.'' Discord ignored her to read, then started laughing hysterically ''Bya, ha, ha, ha, ha! O-Oh, ah, ah, ah!'' He through the book onto the ground and disappeared in a flash. ''An orange? Really, Twilight?'' questioned, Rainbow. Everypony looked to each other in confusion, before Applejack said ''Ah don't know what that was all about, but now Ah really don't want us going through with this.'' Fluttershy reassured her ''Oh, don't worry. I trust that he wouldn't do anything that could damage our friendship.'' Rainbow objected ''You know, that would be a good point, if this wasn't Discord we're talking about.'' Celestia reassured them ''You need not worry, my little ponies. I trust that nothing will go wrong.'' The bearers hesitated. But in the end, they trusted Princess Celestia more then they were afraid of Discord. Twilight gulped ''All right. I trust you.'' Celestia smiled ''Thank you, Twilight! That means everything to me.'' Once everypony who wasn't a princess nor a bearer left the room, everypony gathered around in a circle and the Princess stated ''Now all I need each of you to do is close your eyes and think of all the friends you've all made in this life.'' Everpony nodded in understanding. They all did what they were told. Celestia and Luna simultaneously cast this new spell. The ground started to crumble apart, with the pieces floating into the air. The Mane 6 too, were floating in the air in a circle, eyes closed and posing as if they where activating the Elements of Harmony. Once Twilight cast her part of the spell, everything was immediately consumed in a bright flash of light. Then, everything feel back to the ground. Celestia and Luna opened their eyes. Only, there was no bearers. The Princess's looked around the room, thinking they''v been pushed to the sides or something. But they weren't their either. They weren't anywhere. Celestia was breathing heavily, due to how difficult the spell was to cast. She asked, worriedly ''Where are the Bearers of Harmony? Where is Twilight? Where is my most faithful student?'' ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Twilight felt ...odd. She didn't feel right. She tried opening her eyes to get a look around, but couldn't. Not because she was in a room to dark to see, or because she couldn't physically open her eyes. She wasn't able to feel any eyes at all. She tried to speak. Same thing. She didn't feel her mouth. Did the spell make her blind and numb for a bit? No, she could feel her body heat, and the heat from some ...really hot source of hotness. Next, she tried moving her hoof around. She couldn't feel any limbs. 'What the hey!' thought Twilight. 'Why can I only feel certain parts of my body and not be able to move, talk, or see?' Well she could still think, so she wasn't unconscious. It was also completely devoid of any sounds. For all of Equestria, did that creep her out. She felt like she was wet. Like, she was wearing water for a shirt. It was uncomfortable, to say the least. And she felt fat. Really fat. Almost like she was a completely round pony. Wait a minute! She felt like something was pulling on her. It was weak, but still there. She tried concentrating. Maybe casting a spell will give her answer's. She focused as hard as she could, but the strain was too much. She felt like she was sweating, despite how bucking cold it was. Twilight was dumbfounded 'Wh-Wha?' She could feel some hot liquids leaking out of her. Was she bleeding? She couldn't know for the life of her. Twilight did begin to feel something new. It felt like she was spinning, and it was linked to whatever was moving around her. She tried casting a spell again. This time, it worked. She could see again, YES! She'd clap her hoofs in excitement if she could. The first thing she noticed was how dark and quite everything was. Then she noticed she had a complete 3d sight of her entire surroundings. She could see forward, backward, up, down, left, and right, all at the same time. 'What!' But what really through her off, was what looked like a purple volcanic planet or moon circling around her, which was streaming with green molten rock. 'WHAT!!' She also noticed she had a pink strip of ...glittery stuff, that stretched all the way around her to form a ring. So considering all the information she was given of her current condition, there could only be one possible explanation. She was clearly dreaming. Yep. Because their was absolutely NO way that something so random, fallacious, and absurd as this, could actually be possible. There was no way she could actually be a planet! Twilight sighed, thinking 'I'll just wait this out, until I wake up.' > Chapter 2 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pony Planets. Chapter 2 Twilight sighed 'Really?' This was the third time she tried going to sleep, but she seemed unable to. She looked to her moon. It's color scheme was the same as Spikes. She wondered 'Is it really him?' 'Spike?' she asked. 'Wha?' it asked. It sounded just like him. Though this raised a series of questions, Twilight didn't care, and said 'Oh, Spike. Is that you?' She would tear up both in relief that she wasn't alone, and in sadness that he faced the same fate as her. But she was a planet now, with him apparently as her moon. 'Twilight! Whats going on? First thing I knew, I was eating some ice-cream, and now I can't see! I'm sorry Twilight! Please don't ground me! Please!' 'Spike, calm down. Can you sense your surroundings?' 'Well, not really. I can't feel anything. Well, except this intense heat, thought Spike. 'Hmm, it appears we're communicating telepathically,' thought Twilight. 'How do you know?' 'Because when you hear me speak, I'm actually thinking,' 'Oh,' 'Yeah,' She considered what his presence meant. 'So if you're here, then does that mean others are here besides me and my friends? And for that matter, where's Celestia or Luna?' She looked to the star she was orbiting. It was yellow, but much more massive then the one Celestia raised and lowered on a daily basis. She decided to give it a shot. 'Celestia?' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Celestia and Luna walked out of the throne room. When they opened the door with their magic, the royal guards bowed down. The Princess of the Sun spoke to the one on the left ''War Cry. You may rise,'' The guard on the left stood back up. ''My Princess! Is something wrong?'' Luna stated ''The Bearers have disappeared,'' War Cry's eyes opened wide. ''Permission to call for a search party?'' ''Permission granted,'' said Luna, with a grim expression. Celestia had a look of guilt all over her face. She knew Discord was up to something, yet she was overconfident in her own abilities. She said ''I'm sorry, sister. It's my fault,'' Luna didn't respond. ''Princess Celestia?!'' Both of the Princess's looked down the left side of the hall. There was a unicorn mare running toward her. With a white coat, blue eyes, and a red mane and tail, running with a look of alarm on her face. Celestia raised a hoof ''Easy, Hope Spot! What seems to be the problem?'' The unicorn bowed down, then said ''Forgive my intrusion, Princess's! But we've received word that ponies all over Equestria have gone missing,'' Celestia's heart skipped a beat. Did the spell cause this? No, it couldn't be. That spell was only supposed to effect all ponies in the surrounding area. But why were she and her sister unaffected? And there were still ponies running around. She needed answers. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Twilight and Spike were bored. They didn't know what they were supposed to do, now that they were celestial bodies. Twilight tried as hard as she could, but she couldn't get the stars attention. 'Princess, please talk to me!' 'I don't think that's the Princess, Twilight,' said, Spike. Twilight sighed 'Well now what?' 'Maybe our friends are inhabiting the neighboring planets? It's worth a shot,' asked, Spike. 'But we don't know where they are, Spike. And even if they were those planets, how would that fix our situation?' Spike pondered for a bit 'Well we can telepathically communicate, right? Maybe we can do other things,' If Twilight could raise an eyebrow, she would. 'Such as?' 'Like exit out of our gravitational pull? Planets don't normally read thoughts, so why not give it a try?' She was getting frustrated. Her number one assistant was suggesting she either burn up or freeze to death. That wasn't a very nice thing for him to suggest of her. 'Spike, that has to be the dumbest thing you've ever said. You don't know what kind of repercussions that would have. Besides, it's not scientifically possible,' 'Says the pony-turned-planet,' He continued to talk her in to it 'You'll never know, unless you try,' Twilight was getting angry, and it showed, what with some volcanoes erupting with pink lava all around her. 'Spike, enough! Do you even know what you are saying? ...Do you even know what you're thinking?' Spike gave up 'Fine! I'll go do it myself,' He concentrated on his motion. He tried, he really tried. But couldn't move an inch. Twilight tried to smirk at his nonsense, but as usual, she couldn't. It was hard trying to tell what mood Spike was in, what with his not having a face. But whatever. Finally, Spike the Moon started to move slowly away from his given orbit. Twilight could feel her gravitational sensation slowly decrease. She scolded 'SPIKE!! What are you doing?!' 'Proving you wrong,' 'Stop! You don't know what not having a body spinning around me will do!' 'Quit being so scared,' He moved farther away from her and with it, his gravitational pull. He said, casually 'Later,' Twilight begged 'Spike, please. I can't do this without you. If you're not with me, then who will give me an axis? I won't have the heat necessary for a molten core! I won't be able to generate a magnetic field or release CO2 into my atmosphere,' Twilight started feeling less and less sensation, 'SPIKE!' until she was completely unmooned. 'NOOO!!!' Her rotation started wobbling until she was turning around in all sorts of direction. 'So this is it, huh? Alone and abandoned by Spike. I wonder, when my core runs out of geothermal energy, ...will I DIE?!?!' She tried to tear up, and her will was strong enough to let that happen, or caused a global rainstorm in her case 'I wonder if they have a Planet Heaven?' and started crying. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ While Twilight was busy being a bad example for planets everywhere, Spike decided to do the right thing and give the laws of physics the finger, or claw, or digit. Whatever. Spike watched as Twilight became smaller and smaller, until she was indistinguishable from all the stars in the galaxy. Just like her role in the story. 'I wonder if Rarity's here? Probably freaking out about being a big dumb rock.' He continued to float away from the Sun and outside of the Habitable Zone. He thought 'Maybe they're further out.' He asked, 'Hello?' but nopony was there 'Oh, that's right! Planets are like, hundreds of light-years away from each other. Hmm, I wonder,' He tried to move, despite not having any muscles. it took him awhile but he managed to increase in speed. 'Yes! And the crowed goes wild! Go Spike, Go Spike, Go-' then his cheering met a halt. 'What in tarnation? Is somepony there? Did ya do this Discord?' That sounded like Applejack. Spike giggled mentally, then went towards the source of her voice. He yelled 'Applejack, I'm so gl-' He was interrupted by what he saw. He could feel her gravity pulling on him, but that wasn't the problem. He saw a round and very orange sphere filled with small bumps and cracks. The only kind of vegetation on the planet was on the northern pole, which was green, as opposed to white 'Applejack?' asked the giggling Spike. The planet responded 'Spike? Where in tarnation are ya?!' Spike burst out laughing. 'Oh, man. Looks like Twilight's spell did work!' And who could blame him, because Planet Applejack looked exactly like an Orange! The laughter caused his surface to form cracks and green fire erupted out. Applejack asked, 'Now what's so funny?' Spike said, 'You're an Orange!' and continued to laugh at her expense. 'What? Discord imprisoned me in here, and he dares it be an orange. The least that worm coulda done is make this here cage an apple. At least then, ah go down with dignity.' -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fluttershy regained consciousness. The first thing she noticed was her lack of sight, hearing, and muscles. But that was OK, she didn't want those anyway. She couldn't move and felt really round and hard 'Oh, my. What happened? Am I inside an egg?' she was feeling heat both inside herself and from a light washing over her. She felt wet too, 'Did I wet myself again?' She felt really dirty, too 'Am I underground?' She gasped, then squeed 'Wait! Could it be? Have I finally achieved my dream?' She couldn't move, see, hear, talk, and was covered in dirt. With superior deduction skills, she came to the conclusion 'Well it can't be anything else, therefore I must be a seed, who will grow into a beautiful tree,' With her dream achieved, she cheered 'yeah,'
