Fluttershy was waiting for her ship to leave too the kingdom of rain dukedom while waving to her sisters to say goodbye to her.
" Be careful and be save, if enything happens know that you can always return to the kingdom of Sunlight" Twilight said with tears in her eyes.
" Just promise that you will write to us everyday and take good care of yourself " Rarity Said crying while waving goodbye at her sister with a handkerchief in her hooves.
" Just know that we love you Flutters " Rainbow dash Said trying not to cry but Fluttershy saw the tears all in her eyes and know how hard this is for her and her sisters to say goodbye but her kingdom needs her to be strong.
When the ship was about to leave Fluttershy soon Said. " I will come and visit soon, don't worry, i will be fine on my own, i love you all "
Waving goodbye for the last time with tears in her eyes, she was about to go to the kingdom of rain dukedom were the king was waiting for her, looking back at her kingdom for that was maybe the last time she would see it. She Looked at the open sea and thought about what it would be like at the rain dukedom kingdom.
It was raining in the middle of the night, Fluttershy looked at the lights of the kingdom of rain dukedom.
" It's beautiful look at all the light's glowing from everypony's houses" she turned around to face one of the captains of the ship it was a earth pony with light grey coat with a brown mane and his cutie mark was a four-bladed fan. His name was Mr. Breezy he went along with princess Fluttershy to made sure she would be safe along the ride.
" Yes princess it's quite beautiful " said Mr.breezy walking to her looking at the view. It was beautiful, the light of the full moon shines op the seas surface, the smell of the salty sea and the sound of the waves and rain from the sea below them and from the sky above them.
" What you see now is the Harbor Town Lepion princess" he said while pointing at the town.
" But princess is it alright for you to go in town now ? It's already dark and you are expected to arrive tomorrow, we are ahead with the planned schedule " Mr. Breezy said looking at a piece paper while worrying about the princess. Fluttershy looked at the amazing town of Rain Dukedom.
" Please don't worry Mr. Breezy, i will be fine, i will just find a inn to stay the night, you should hurry back to Sunlight kingdom to tell my sisters that i arrived safely to Rain Dukedom " Fluttershy said smiling at Mr. Breezy.
One of the sailor pony's who was making the ship ready to go off board said " huh ? Already ? Looking disappointed at the princess.
" Ooh i didn't mean it like that, if you want you could stay for a while and go back to Sunlight kingdom tomorrow" Fluttershy said feeling bad for the sailor pony.
" Your probably wanted to get drink and get drunk don't you, compass star " a sailor pony said tie up the rope on the sail, to the brown coated pegasus with curly blond mane and as cutie mark a compass shaped of a star.
" Shhh don't say that in front of the princess, star hunter " said compass star to the dark blue pegasus with light blue mane and a white Orion constellation as cutie mark.
The captain and princess Fluttershy laughed at the two sailor pony's that quarreld at each other.
" You are free to do what you want but if you would be so kind to tell my sisters that i was safely brought to rain dukedom " Fluttershy said to the sailor pony's with a lovely smile, the two sailor pony's blushed at the princess for what they thought in there heads were the same things.
Fluttershy grabbed her things and walked off the boat going to the market place, the captain and his crew waved goodbye at there princess.
" Be careful you highness and good luck" they all said to her with tears in there eyes.
" It's not forever, so please don't worry'' Fluttershy said as she went to the market away from the harbor.
what is it lovely at the town market, so many ponies and there is even an barrier around the market to prevent it from getting wet Fluttershy thought while looking around, so many voices of pony's having fun and being happy, music was playing everywhere it was so beautiful and so many stalls were there with different things to buy, with wonderful smells and different ones that Fluttershy never have seen or smells before. Fluttershy walked past a stall where a brown coated stallion with a black mane and as cutie mark a money bag.
He was the owner of a fruit stall seeing Fluttershy he asked " Hey, do you want one little lady" showing a yellow kind orange in his hoove.
" I've never seen fruit like that before? Sorry mister but what is it ? Fluttershy said looking at the strange fruit before her.
" There freshly-picked enelot fruits Mis, you must be new in town ?, there five bits for one, but a pretty lady like you i will make it four bits, how about it Mis ? " The sales pony said smiling at Fluttershy.
" So there called enelot ? Four bits for one ? But thats pretty expensive for one enelot " Fluttershy said looking at the sales pony that had a shocked expression on his face.
" What ? You think that's expensive ? " The sales pony said backing away for the mare.
" You must be poor ? Aren't you ? " He said while waving his hoove.
" Don't pass it to me, get out " the sales pony yelled at Fluttershy.
" But i'm not poo... Ah ! Fluttershy said backed away from the fruit stall not looking were she went bumping in to somepony behind her, losing her balance and fell over on to the street.
" Hey, watch were your going lady ! " a drunk stallion said to Fluttershy.
" I'm so sorry sir, i hope your not hurt " said trying to stand up while pony's were laughing at the scene that just happened having there eyes at Fluttershy.
" Get it together county girl " the drunk stallion said before he walked away.
Fluttershy who was standing up now hiding behind her mane whispered " I'm sorry sir " and walked away from the crowd.
It's getting pretty late i should find an inn to spent the night there Fluttershy thought. Looking at the sky, it was coverd with gray clouds raining in the night.
" But sir this is the fifth place i tried, are there really no more rooms left " Fluttershy said with pleading eyes at the owner of the inn, it was a stallion with dark light yellow coat and a brown mane with a mustache above his lip.
" I'm sorry but it's not possible" the owner said looking at the bar next signaling at Fluttershy to look too.
The bar was full with pony soldiers, cheering was heard from miles away, the sounds of cups bumping against each other and laughing pony's that were drunk.
" See that, we've been swarmed with the national army since yesterday and i don't couldn't let a nice mare like you loose in that drunken rabble " the owner said looking at Fluttershy.
She completely understood the situation and went away from the inn. Walking through the street looking for a another inn. it was quite on the street no pony's were seen in the street, Fluttershy didn't had a good feeling about this, it was to dark in the street only a few lamppost were stand but it still scary walking in the middle of the night alone, not knowing she was being followed by two mysterious colt's.
" This is awful. I can't make heads or tails out of the pony's of this country" Fluttershy thought walking down the street when somepony spoke to her.
" Hey Mis don't you have a place to stay for the night ? " Fluttershy looked around to see where that voice came from, she looked behind her there were two pony's standing there, one of them had a light blue-green coat with orange-brown mane. He was a short but round unicorn with the cutie mark of a pair of scissors. The pony next to him is a golden colored coat with an aquamarine mane. He was a tall but skinny unicorn with a snail as cutie mark.
" Yes, do you know a place where they have an open room " Fluttershy said with a smile on her face of the good news she just heard and that she wasn't alone on the dark street anymore.
" But of course we have an open room for you right Snips " said the tall unicorn to the short one.
" Yep it's our one year anniversary, one night with two meals for ten bits" Snips said to Fluttershy who looked happy about the deal.
" It comes with two meals ? I was getting hungry so thats good, thank you so much, could you maybe show me the way to your inn " Fluttershy said feeling a messy noise from her stomach, fortunately not to hard for the two colt's to hear, not noticing the two gentle colts who were grinning at each other.
" But of course here let me take your saddle bag " said Snails trying too grab her bag but Fluttershy stopped him by moving aside, not letting it be touch by the colt.
" It's alright it's not that heavy i will carry it my self " says Fluttershy to Snails but he didn't stop there.
" We insist we can't let you carry that all by yourself " Snails said taking her bag before she could say something.
" Alright if you really insist on carrying my stuff, i don't mind " Fluttershy said looking a little confused at the two pony's. Snips and Snails looked at each other and laughed confusing Fluttershy more then she already was.
" You really took the bait, a story this good could never be true " Snips laughed while Snails tackled Fluttershy to the ground hitting her head pretty hard, she looked at the two colt's who ran away deep in the dark street. She tried to get up and stopping the two pony's that ran away with her bag but the hit from just now was to hard and fainted on the ground. laying on the ground she heard hooves steps on the ground coming to her then She heard somepony's voice but very blurred.
" Hay mis all'y right " the voice said but did not help much before Fluttershy passed out.
"am i dead ? If i am what is that smell then ? It's smells delicious, does heaven smell like soup and freshly-baked bread ?" with a shock Fluttershy moved straight up the bed where she was lay on, she looked around and saw a big red stallion.
The big stallion was a earth pony with a red coat and an orange mane and with a big apple as cutie mark, looks at Fluttershy before he placed a bowl of soup at the table in front of her.
" I'm so glad your awake " a little filly said next to her bed. Fluttershy looked at her and was quite shocked for she did not notice the filly. She was a little yellow coated earth pony with a red mane on her head was a big red bow and her cutie mark was a shield with a apple in it.
" Now give her some space sugar cube" an older mare said walking in the room.
" She hit her head pretty hard" the mare said looking at Fluttershy.
" Are y'all feeling better Mis ? " the mare said. Fluttershy looked at the mare, she was a orange coated earth pony with a blond mane, her cutie mark were three red apples.
" Yes, i think so but if i may ask where am i ? " Fluttershy asked the three earth pony's with a confused look on her face.
" We found you lying on the ground, so we brought you here Mis" the little filly said with a sad look on her face.
" We saw what happened with you and those colts, were sorry but we couldn't find those pony's who stole from you " The mare said also looking sad at Fluttershy.
" It's nothing to worry about, it was only some clothes and some stuff but that's all " Fluttershy said smiling at the three pony's who saved her from the streets.
" Well if that's all why don't y'all eat something before it get's cold" the mare said smiling a bit at Fluttershy.
" Is that for me ? why thank you, your so kind " Fluttershy said drinking the soup and eating the bread and filling her stomach with it. She did not think she was this hungry.
" My name is Apple Jack, it's nice to meet you, uuhhmm ? " the mare said sticking a hoove out too Fluttershy, waiting for an answer. Fluttershy stopped eating and looked at the mare.
" I'm so sorry, i should have done this sooner, my name is Fluttershy, it's nice to meet you Apple Jack " Fluttershy said shaking Apple Jack's hoove.
" This is my little sister, Apple Bloom " Apple jack said pointing at the little filly.
" And that's Big McIntosh but everypony calls him Big Mac for short " Apple Jack said pointing at the big stallion.
" Yhep " Big Mac said agreeing with his sister.
" Hey, Big Mac, you can go now, we will take care of her so don't worry " Apple bloom said to her big brother.
" Yhep " said Big Mc and with that he leaved.
" Hey Mis Fluttershy, were do you come from ? " Apple bloom asked with a smiling look on her face.
" I am from the Sunlight kingdom" Fluttershy said smiling back at the little filly.
" The Sunlight kingdom ? " Apple Jack said not knowing were that is and looking at Fluttershy.
" Yes, it's far to the east of here " Fluttershy said looking at the two. they were on the bed where Fluttershy lay on.
" I'm the fourth princess of that country " Fluttershy just said that like it was nothing but the others.
" YOUR A PRINCESS " they both said at the same time with shocking looks on there faces.
" Why did you came to this county? Fluttershy ? " Apple bloom said with sparkles in her eyes.
" Oohh, i came here to get married " Fluttershy said Remembering why she came here in the first place.
" Wow " the two sisters said in a happy tone, they wore happy for her.
" To somepony from our country ? who is the lucky pony Fluttershy ? " Apple Jack said smiling at Fluttershy who was only getting nervous at the thought.
" Your king " Fluttershy said blushed at the thought of marrying the king of Rain Dukedom.
" The king ? you mean the rain king ? " Apple Jack said with a normal tone again.
" You mean the cruel and ruthless king ? i heard that he's bald with two horns coming from his head and has fangs like bear, they also say that he's cruel and a meany sins hè became the king of this coun.... " Apple bloom said looking at Apple Jack who was waving at her behind Fluttershy's back to stop her from telling anymore things about the rain king, but it was already to late.
Fluttershy was shaking her hooves and too scared to go to sleep anytime soon still thinking what Apple bloom said. She almost was forgetting who she was marrying.
" Well, look at the time, bedtime for you sweetie " Apple Jack said to Apple bloom getting of from the bed. She and Apple bloom walked thoughts the door leaving Fluttershy alone to sleep.
" maybe he's kind and not a monster that everypony keeps telling me, what Apple bloom said can't be true no pony has two horns and fangs and i don't care if he's cruel, i can still fall in love with him right ?, well that's what we will see tomorrow right Fluttershy ?" Fluttershy thought to herself drifting of to sleep.
In a bar not far from here two mysterious stallions where talking with some food and drinks.
" So if things go as expected, it should be tomorrow evening, right ? " one of the stallion said drinking from his cup.
" They should be receiving her on the high seas about now " the other stallion said with a low voice, the stallion laughed at this.
" Like a package, huh? " the stallion said smiling at the stallion.
" Marrying a princess from a sucluded country like that, it's certainly eccentric" the low voiced stallion said with a straight look on his face.
" The fourth princess of the Sunlight kingdom, do you know about it, your Excellency ? " said the stallion looking at his partner.
" I've heard that the sun there always shines all year around, but no one in the Naval Department had even heard of it " the low voiced stallion said.
" Then the best way to learn more, would be to ask the princess directly, right? " the stallion said smiling at his partner.
" Yeah, it's our job to escort her to the castle, after all " the low voiced stallion said.
" And if anything should happen to her " the stallion stopped, for the low voiced stallion interrupted him moving to face his partner directly now.
" To allow a piddling little country to maintain it's autonomy, what kind of price tag did that come with" the low voiced stallion said smiling with his partner.
" Would it cause a dispute?, a few little country's like that " said the stallion a little worried at his partner.
" The outcome doesn't matter, if it comes to his diplomatic skills, it will be the prologue to his downfall" the stallion laughed with his partner until he heard two colts yelling in the bar and looked around him seeing two unicorn colt's one fat but short looking and the other one tall but skinny looking they wore talking about something.
" What's wrong with that pony ?, she took us for a ride! " Snips said a little to loud.
" Hey, Snips, you should keep your voice down " Snails said looking around the bar where everypony was sleeping to drunk to get up.
" They're all passed out drunk!, don't worry!, damn, i don't know what kind of bits that was, but it only paid for one drink?!, i didn't think i'd have to pay for my own drinks! said Snips drinking his apple juice.
" That moneychanger pony was pretty stingy, too " Sails said looking back at what happened.
"This sigure stuff is basically worthless, if you don't like go home, right ?" that moneychanger said trying to imitate the him said Snips.
" I wonder if he knew we were desperate ? " Snails said wondering about it.
" It' pisses me off ! " Snips said getting a headache from it all not knowing the two stallions walking up to them.
" You two " one of them said, scaring the two colt's.
" I'm sorry " snips said hugging Snails tight.
" We were just about to to bring it by " Snails said hugging Snips also tight. the two mysterious stallions looked at each other.
" Could you explain to me what you were talking about" the stallion said with a scary look on his face.
" Y-yes, sir " Snails said almost crying of the scary face.
" Gladly " said Snips also beginning to cry with Snails as the two mysterious stallions came closer to the two colt's.
" Wonderful, let's talk " the lowe voiced stallion said grinning malicious at his partner and then at the two colt's.
