//------------------------------// // A Story To Be Told // Story: The Disney Chronicles I: Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs // by Dinodisneylover1 //------------------------------// Once again, our heroes swirled through space, screaming for their lives. Pinkie, on the other hoof, was having too much fun, as she flew past several stars. In the castle library, the book opened, as a blinding light emerged. Suddenly, Twilight, Spike and the rest of the ponies popped out of the book piling on top of one another. They got up and were talking excitedly of the incredible adventure they had. Yet as Twilight noticed, it seemed not much time had passed since they vanished. “That was amazing!” Applejack said. “I’ve never experienced something like this before.” “Me neither,” Starlight concurred. “That was super-duper fun!” Pinkie yelled, in glee. “It was lovely… And sometimes scary,” Fluttershy admits. “But mostly lovely.” “Did you see me use my storm cloud to hit that witch?” Rainbow bragged, as always. “Until she unleashed a big one!” Pinkie pointed out. Twilight was happy to be home again, watching her friends talk about the trip. At the same time, she couldn’t help but miss her new friends. She looked behind her toward a certain page in the book. “And they lived happily ever after,” She read, a smile on her face. “Twilight?” A voice drew Twilight to Fluttershy, who, along with the others, missed their friends too. “Will we see them again?” Fluttershy asked. “Of course,” Twilight said to her friend. “We’ll find a way.” All the other ponies, including Spike, smiled. Then it dawned on Twilight. “We should tell this to the princesses,” Twilight said, grabbing the book. “They won’t believe what happened to us.” “Well, the sun’s just coming up,” Spike said, noting the sun. “Let’s go.” Twilight didn’t go too far when a familiar unicorn stopped her. “Hey, Twilight!” Starlight called. “Yes, Starlight?” Twilight turned. “Just do me this one favor, okay? If you and your friends decide to go off on another adventure and I just happen to be in the neighborhood… Don’t let me go by myself.” Twilight nodded understandingly. “I promise, Starlight.” Soon the ponies and dragon left the castle, making their way to the train station to Canterlot. It was a long ride on the Friendship Express, the sun had slowly risen over the land. Finally, they arrived at the capital of Equestria itself: Canterlot. They ran as fast as they could toward the castle until they were stopped by two guards, both Unicorn ponies. “Halt!” A guard raised a hoof. “Who goes there?!” When Twilight approached the guards, they quickly dropped their hooves and bowed. “Princess Twilight,” The guard spoke. “Do you wish to speak to the princesses?” “We are,” Twilight nodded. “May we pass?” “Of course, Your Highness,” The guard bowed, opening the gates. “Thank you, sirs.” Twilight bowed, walking ahead. They passed the open gate, which the two guards opened with their magic. They walked through the halls till they reached the throne room. There, Princess Celestia, in all her radiance, sat upon her throne smiling when she saw her student. “Twilight Sparkle,” The princess said. “How nice to see you again!” “Princess Celestia,” Twilight bowed, along with her friends. Celestia approached Twilight, the two princesses hugging each other with their heads. “What brings you and your friends here today?” The princess asked. “Your Majesty,” Twilight began, with a smile. “You won’t believe what happened to us.” “What is it?” Celestia asked, with surprise and worry. “Would it be okay if Princess Luna joins us? We’d like to tell both of you.” “Of course, I’ll see if I can find Luna.” A few minutes later, Celestia returned with Princess Luna, who was equally beautiful as her sister. “Good morning, every pony,” Luna bowed. “Good morning, Princess,” Twilight bowed. “What was so important that my sister called me here for?” “We’ve just been to another world.” “Another world?” Princess Celestia asked. “How?” “Through this book,” Twilight answered. It was then she show Celestia the ‘Book of Disney’ itself. Celestia lift the book with her magic and examined the cover, along with Luna. “I’ve never seen this book before,” Luna said. “Where did you get this?” Celestia asked. “Spike found it in your old castle,” Twilight explained. “He said it came from a falling star. We discovered it was a storybook, with stories we’ve never heard before. Oh Princess, you should’ve been there.” Celestia opened the book, reading the first page completely. She looked through several pages, only the book didn’t seem to use it’s magic for some reason. “So, what do you think?” Twilight asked. “Oh my, this is something,” Celestia replied. “I can sense a powerful magic from this book.” The Princess examined the pages with the first story. “Who is Snow White?” “Oh, she’s lovely,” Fluttershy answered. “She’s a human princess who loves animals just like me.” “She and Fluttershy immediately became friends,” Twilight added. “The rest of us too.” “There was a handsome Prince,” Rarity swooned. “And an evil queen that turned herself into a witch trying to kill her!” Rainbow included. “Oh, and don’t forget the huntsman,” Pinkie reminded. “And the dwarfs too.” “That’s right, the dwarfs,” Fluttershy recalled. “They were so nice; I only wish for a way to show them to you.” As she said that, the book began to glow as if responding to Fluttershy’s wish. In a flash, characters popped up on the page through a hologram. Most of them were blank, having not been revealed, but suddenly the light shone upon some familiar faces. “Wow!” Rainbow gasped, in awe. “It’s Snow White!” Fluttershy pointed out. “And Florian!” Applejack added. “It seems this book can show us the people and creatures we’ve met,” Twilight said. “Show us the seven dwarfs.” All at once, all the dwarfs were presented together. “Dwarfs?” Luna asked. “They’re very friendly,” Spike said. “They gave us a sack of jewels from their mine to thank us.” Celestia smiled as she examined the funny little creatures. “How about we introduce them?” Starlight offered. “That would be very nice,” Celestia replied. “Okay, note how their names fit their personality,” Twilight began, pointing to the hologram. “This is Doc, the self-appointed leader of the group. “Sounds familiar,” Princess Celestia teased, with a smile. Twilight smiled, as the ponies presented the dwarfs one-by-one. “This little fellow is Bashful,” Fluttershy told. “We think he’s secretly in love with Snow White.” Celestia giggled as the group continued. “This is Sneezy,” Rarity presented. “He has hay fever.” “Ol’ droopy eyes is called Sleepy,” Applejack introduced. “There’s Happy with the beaming smile,” Pinkie pointed out. “And this is Dopey, who actually can’t talk,” Spike said. “Then there’s ol’ sourpuss, Grumpy,” Rainbow explained. “I admit he was a little bit rude but turns out he has a heart of gold.” “I didn’t realize you made so many friends in this new world,” Luna said. “Have you discovered something special there?” Celestia asked. “Special?” Twilight asked, confused. “Haven’t you learned anything from there?” Celestia asked, specifically. Twilight looked at the book, thinking what Celestia was inquiring. Then, a smile formed as she figured it out. “Actually Princess, I did. I learned that beauty isn’t everything. It’s deeds, not looks, that count whether it’s ruling a kingdom or making friends.” “And that kindness to everyone is the most important of all,” Fluttershy added. “Most of all, have fun with the people that became your friends,” Pinkie included. “And sometimes, even the grumpiest person hides a good heart,” Rainbow said. “Those are very good lessons,” Celestia nodded. “Maybe you can send new letters to me when you’re visiting other worlds in these stories.” “That won’t be a problem,” Twilight smiled. The sisters faced each with a smile, then gave a nod as if having a silent conversation. “Would you like to tell us about your adventure?” Celestia asked. “Perhaps about the new ones in the future?” “With pleasure,” Twilight answered, with a cute smile. The holograms disappear, as Celestia returned the book to her student. Every pony, and Spike, sat on their haunches as Twilight turned to the first page and began to read. “Once upon a time, there live a lovely little princess named Snow White. Her vain and wicked stepmother…” And so, Twilight Sparkle told her mentor and her sister about their first new adventure. The two princesses were invested in this story. A story that made them laugh, made them cry, and filled their minds with enchanted images, even though they got scared at some point. Overall, it was a truly marvelous adventure for Twilight and her friends. Much like the time when they went to an Italian village and met a… Well as I say, my dear friends, that is a story for another time. *Winks* (Start music at 2:53) THE END
