> Forever? > by kittycatty321 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Chapter 1 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- It was just like any other day in Equesteria, well more specifically Ponyville. Twilight was studying in the her new library. Pinkie Pie was preparing for a party that evening. Applejack was bucking the apples in the orchard. Rarity was working on her new line. Fluttershy was tending to the animals at her cottage. Rainbow Dash was taking a nap in the clouds. Everything of course seemed normal... for now! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Twilight finished her book and got up. She put the book back on it's shelf in the new library. She then proceeded to leave the library. She said thank you to the guard who had been waiting outside. "Your shift is over. You may go now." He nodded, and waited till Twilight turned a corner before leaving his post. Twilight walked down the hall of The Castle of Friendship. In the throne room she saw Spike talking to Owlicious. She walked up to him and said "Hi Spike. What's on the list today." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Pinkie Pie was hoping around town. She was gathering party supplies for the party. It was the 1 year anniversary of the main 6 defeating Tirek. The town was hosting a celebration in there honor. Of course Pinkie was in charge of planing. She had all her supplies and was in town square. Ponies were setting up tents for the event. Pinkie went around making sure everything was party perfect. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Applejack was in the orchid. She was helping Big Mac buck the east field. "Oh am I getting tired. This is tough work" she said to Big Mac in her country accent. "Yup" he replied. "Maybe we should breack for lunch?" "Yup" They started headiing back to the house. They heard Granny Smith yell "Soups on!" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Rarity was working hard on her new line. It had to be finished by that afternoon. Her and her friends were wearing them to the party that evening. She was adding the finishing touches to there ensembles. Twilight's dress was made from a pretty light purple silk. It had pretty little stars on it, and twilight would wear her crown to go with it. Pinkie's dress was a pretty pink, with her cutie mark stitched in the lovelyist of ways. She would wear a candy clip on the right side of her mane. Applejack's was a nice autumn orange color. It had a cutie little denim belt to tie the country look together. She would wear a cowgirl hat with her cutie mark embedded in the front. Fluttershy's was a soft baby yellow. It would have some butterflies on it, and a little blue bird would go in her mane. Rainbow's dress was not only one color, but six. The rainbow symbolized her mane and her tail, making it stand out. Rarity was finishing up stitching multiple copes of Rainbow's cutie mark on the base. On the left side of her mane, she would have a little cloud placed on, just for a little pop. And Rarity's own dress was a pure white dress, it would have little diamonds stitched into varies places. She would wear a fashion tiara with a little blue gem in the center. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Fluttershy was in her cottage tending to a kitten with a broken paw. Fluttershy loved all her animals, and she loved taking care of them more. "Now Mr. Snuffles, you have to rest a couple of days. Understand? Good." Flutter shy left the cottage and walked over to the chicken coup she feed the chickens. She proceeded to tend to all the animals. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Rainbow had moved a comfy cloud to a sunny patch in the sky. She was taking a nap, like any other day. She woke and saw tank in her face. "Huh? How did you get hear Tank?" Tank just stared at her, and blinked slowly. "Ok boy i guess u wanna play. Don't you?" Rainbow got up and started to play a game of fetch with Tank. > Chapter 2 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The girls were waiting outside Rarity's boutique that afternoon. They where gonna go to lunch, and then get ready for the party. "Ugh, Rarity hurry up" "Be patient Rainbow," said Applejack "you know how Rarity is." "You know i have to agree with Rainbow Dash on this one. We have been waiting for a long time. She could be a little more punctual." After what seemed like forever and a half Rarity finally came out. "Ok who is ready for some lunch." The girls all walked to there picnic spot. They had set up and began eating. While they where eating there dandelion sandwiches Fluttershy began to talk. "So girls what have you been up to. I haven't seen you since the defeat of Tirek. Well I have seen you all just not together." They all nodded to Fluttershy. Rainbow said "Well I got some news." They all looked at her waiting for what she had to say. "In 2 weeks I'm leaving Ponyvillie." They stared in shock. "WHAT?!" Pinkie screamed. Rarity gasped and then fainted into Applejack's arms who was waiting for her to faint. "Now why the hay would you do a thing like that, sugarcube." Rarity came to in time for Rainbow Dash to explain. "I'M JOINGING THE WONDERBOLTS!!!!" Rainbow said in glee. "WHAT!?" Pinkie screamed. Fluttershy calmed Pinkie, and they all congratulated Rainbow, some what sad. Now it was Applejack's turn to shock everypony. "Hey ya'll," she began. "well you see" she continued nervously, "I might be leaving too." "WHAT?!" Pinkie again screamed. "Well... you see Granny ain't getting any younger. the last time she saw the whole family was a while ago. So Big Mac and I where thinking about taking her on a rode trip all over Equestria, since we have family all over." The girls all began to silently cry. Even Rainbow shed a tear. Just at that moment, like it wasn't bad enough, Spike came running up to the girls. "Twilight," Spike yelled as he came closer to the ponies "Letter... Urgent!" He was caring a letter from Princess Celestia, He reached them out of breath, and flopped to the ground while holding the letter out to Twilight. Twilight took the parchment from Spike. Everypony crowded around Twilight, trying to read the letter. The alicorn read aloud: My dearest Twilight Sparkle, My sister and I have to go to Saddle Arabia for a while. We will be leaving in a month. We need you to take care of the kingdom. Princess Cadence is to busy running her own kingdom. Sincerely Princess Celestia As soon as Twilight had finished reading Pinkie screamed "WHAT!?" The girls looked around at each other and began to cry again. Spike stared at them in confusion. Applejack must have seen the look in his eyes because she said "Rainbow is leaving to join the Wonderbolts, I'm going to travel around the whole of Equestria with Granny Smith, and now Twilight is gonna be in charge of Equestria." Spike stared dumbfound, and then began to cry with the others. Through tears Pinkie Pie said "Well Rainbow isn't leaving for 2 weeks, and Applejack isn't leaving for at least a month, and Twilight isn't leaving for 3 weeks." "Yea Pinkie's right!" Rainbow Dash said. "Yea ya'll we still got tonight." said Applejack. "And we have our dresses to wear one last time." Rarity said with determination. "This night will then be THE BEST NIGHT EVER!" Twilight yelled. "Didn't we try that the time we went to the Gala" Fluttershy's quite voice said. "Yea, but this time we will all stick together!" Spike said. They all nodded in agreement. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ They were sitting in Rarity's boutique, preparing for the party. Rarity had just finished an attempt to straighten Pinkie Pie's mane. As soon as she had finished it puffed up again. Rarity groaned. "Silly mane you'r supposed to stay straight tonight." "I give up Pinkie. It's impossible." "Good thing to, because i don't fancy a visit from straight hair crazy Pinkie. So glad I wasn't replaced by a bucket of turnips or a bag of flour." Rainbow said. They started laughing looking back on the time Pinkie wanted to throw a after birthday party for Gummy. The girls couldn't come because they were planing Pinkie's surprise birthday party. When Rainbow went over to Pinkie Pie's home, she was having an after birthday party for Gummy with random things. When the laughter died down Rarity said "Ok girls, now it is time." Rarity walked over to a curtain blocking something. All the girls stared at her waiting for her to pull it open. Rarity opened the curtain, she heard gasps from her friends. "Rarity, these are lovely" Twilight said happily touching her dress. She looked like a little school filly who had just gotten ice cream. The others agreed with Twilight complementing Rarity and her fine work. "So put them on. We have about a half an hour before the party." "We will Rarity, thank you so much" Fluttershy said. They all got dressed, and complemented each others dresses. They walked outside and started the quick walk to town hall. > Chapter 3 (SHORT) > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The girls and Spike were all standing on the stage. The Mayor was making an announcement and thanking them all. They were still upset, but since they were together they didn't show it. They made the best of the night they could. Then at the end of the night it happened In the shadows of town square there was a mare spying on everypony. She wouldn't dare to come out. She wasn't welcomed and she knew that. No, she wasn't Trixi, she wasn't Sunset Shimmer, and she wasn't Chyrissilis. So who is she? After all the reason she was there was for pure evil purposes. "Twilight, do you feel like your being watched?" Spike asked nervously. "Ya ya'll I feel it to" "Really now you to are just over reacting" Rarity said. "There over reacting, HAHAHAHAHAHAHA Rarity that's to funny" Pinkie continued laughing. "Anyways as i was saying..." Rainbow trailed off. "Oh so the little dragon and the orange earth pony have the feeling I'm here" said the mystery pony. "Well well well" "So they think they can avoid me" boomed a voice in the pony's head. "Master," the pony in the shadows bowed low to her master. "They will regret there choices. It's time for the revenge on Equestria. MWHAHAHAHA" "Yes master I will carry out your plans" "Good" > Chapter 4 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Along time ago, before the pony sisters there was a family. One child, one mother, one father. Who was this family? They where a kind of creature un-known to pony kind. That is in till... no I won't tell you yet. [center~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~] "Well that was a fun night" Spike said to Twilight while walking inside the library. "You're right Spike, truly the best night." Twilight could easily fake her sadness for happiness, and Spike could easily fake that he doesn't notice. They are both wrong. [center~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~] It happened the unicorn had wrinkles on her face. Spike had grown his wings. They never remembered a place called Ponyville or the elements of harmony. More importantly they didn't even remember 5 mares who helped them. Rarity, who was genorois to everyone she knew. Rainbow Dash, the most loyal of ponies in Equestria. Fluttershy, the kindest mare. Appeljack, the most honest to walk the fields. Pinkie Pie, the one pony who laughs no matter what. They are the 5 ponies who represent the other elements of harmony. But there best friend, the Princess of Friendship, left with the promise of return. But now she doesn't even know there names. "Spike! Spike! SPIKE!!!" "Yes Twilight," the dragon said bowing to the princess. "Do I have any mail this morning." "Yes a letter from Celestia, one from your brother, another from your parents, one from a special stalion in the Crstal Empire, and one from this random place called... Ponyvilli. Why does that name sound familiar." "I don't know Spike, just leave it all there." Spike put the mail on the little table next to Twilight and sat down. "Ok Spike I will open the mail." Twilight placed her book down and picked up the mail. She opened the letter form Celestia giving her that months duties. Then she moved on to her brother, asking how Twilight was and stuff like that. The one form her parents told her how they were going on a vacation soon. The letter from Flash, Twilight did not read aloud. She read it to herself blushing a bit. Spike looked questioningly. The last one Twilight held away from her and with a purple glow slowly ripped it open. Confetti came out, and a horn played. Twilight and Spike shared the same curious look. She took out the letter to see page after page after page of writing. On each page there was a different kind of style. The first page was pink with balloons and confetti, and had child like hand writing scribbled on. The second one a soft, pale, yellow with some cutie animals on it and neat tiny handwriting. The next page was blue, and had several colorful rainbows on it, the hand writing was rushed and messy. The forth was on white paper, with gems all over and really neat and fancy handwriting. The last was orange, with apples and apple trees on it. Twilight held each piece separate and in a line. On the bottom of each piece was a hoof print and a picture of a mare. "Spike, who are these ponies? For that matter why are they writing to me?!?!" "I don't know Twi- but that one," Spike pointed to the picture on the gem covered paper, "is very, very, very pretty" Twilight roweled her eyes. "But who is she? And who are the others" "Well I have errands to run Twilight I'll be back for dinner give me an update then" "Ok bye Spike hurry along" Spike left the room and the castle. That day Twilight read through all the pages. When Spike got home Twilight had the castle chef make dinner. At dinner Twilight summed up each page of the letter.
