//------------------------------// // Chapter 9: Doughnut Joe's Shop // Story: Children of Harmony // by Pinkie Pie Sweets //------------------------------// In the Doughnut shop across Canterlot: Doughnut Joe's is busy selling doughnuts and beverages at his shop. He was about to take a break until a strange flash of light coming from the front of counter. Joe is about to use his chair that he levitates with his horn to attack until the flash came down and recognizes one of them. "Twilight, is that you?" Joe asks in excite. "Doughnut Joe it's so good to see you," Twilight replies happily. "Wow it's so good to see you too. Where were you for the past 20 years?" Joe asks happily. "Well I was in a different world and have kids now," Twilight replies "So those 4 creatures behind you are yours?" Joe asks in surprise. "Yes they are. Kids this is Doughnut Joe. Joe this is Sakura, Yuki, Ame, and Tsubasa." Twilight replies. "Hello," The kids reply. "Well this is an interesting surprise, but if you don't mind me asking, how did you all get here anyway?" Joe asks. "I'm afraid that was my fault sir. I got scared by the crowd and my horn somehow teleported us here," Yuki replies. "I see, you must have created a magic surge," Joe replies. "A what?" Yuki asks. "A magic surge happens when a unicorn is stressed or in other negative situations causes the surge to do unexpected magic," Twilight answers. "I'm really sorry mommy," Yuki says sadly. "It's okay sweetie it was an accident," Twilight replies. "Mom from what I did yesterday was a magic surge too?" Sakura asks. "I suppose so, but from what Celestia told me that your magic surge come from alicorn magic so yours is more powerful than a normal unicorn," Twilight replies. "Oh," Sakura says. "Alicorn magic, what do you mean Twilight?" Joe asks. "Well you see Joe, my daughter Sakura is part alicorn. I still don't know how it is possible, but yesterday when we first came back to Equestria she unleashed very powerful magic." Twilight answers. "So she like the princesses, for real," Joe says in excite. "Hu huh," Twilight replies. "Well sounds like you all had it rough, how about I treat you all for some doughnut and drinks," Joe suggests. "Really are you sure?" Ame asks. "I'm sure about it, and I'll make sure the doughnuts are nice and fresh for you, now what will you all like?" Joe says in delight. "I'll have a chocolate doughnut with milk," Yuki says. "I'll have a strawberry sprinkle doughnut with milk too," Ame says. "I'll have a glazed doughnut with milk as well please," Sakura replies. "I'll get a vanilla sprinkle doughnut for me, and do you think you can get a bottle of milk for Tsubasa," Twilight replies "Okay I'll start to make them right away," Joe replies and leaves to the kitchen to make them something. "Mom I hope the other will find us," Ame asks sadly. "Don't worry I'm sure they are looking for us that this very moment," Twilight relies to her son. "Hey, you want to know what I see," Yuki says. "What is it Yuki?" Twilight asks. "Well, it what we don't see," Yuki replies. "What do you mean Yuki?" Ame asks. Sakura tries to figure out until she look down and finds out what she meant by it, "We don't have any of our clothes, with all that happen we are still wearing our pajamas." The twins look to see that Sakura is right, even Tsubasa is wearing the same pajamas, but they do remember to change his diaper. "Looks like we got a problem," Ame replies. "Mom what are we going to do," Yuki asks. "Don't worry I'm sure we can get the clothes and the rest of our things from the house, but I think my friend Rarity can also make you some new clothes too," Twilight replies. "Really?" Ame asks happily. "Yeah! In fact around 5 years ago she got her own boutique in Canterlot," Joe answers. "She does?" Twilight asks surprisingly. "Yeah," Joe replies "By the way here are your doughnuts and drinks, and a bottle for the baby," Joe says. "Thank you," Twilight replies. "Thanks," The kids reply. "No problem," Joe replies. "Wow Rarity has a boutique here in Canterlot," Sakura says happily. "So mom what kinds of cloths Rarity can make for us?" Yuki asks. "Well I think Rarity well make wonderful clothes for all of you," Twilight answers. "So what are we going to do?" Yuki asks. "We can only hope that the girls find us," Twilight answers. Back on the Wonderbolt tracks: The girls and Spike are freaking out because Twilight and her children had disappeared. "Where can they have gone?" Rainbow asks panicking. "Yeah they just disappeared," Pinkie adds. "How could this happen," Rarity asks. "Yeah, what in the hay just happen?" Applejack asks. "I think it's because of Yuki," Spike answers. "Yuki, how do you know?" Fluttershy asks. "Because while the crowd was gaining up on them, I saw Yuki's horn glow, she must have trigger a magic surge," Spike answers. "It's possible that Yuki must have activated her unicorn magic, like Sakura activating her alicorn magic," Rarity adds. "Really that's strange," Rainbow says. "Either way we have to find them," Fluttershy says. "Oh if only we have a lead," Rarity replies worried. "Don't worry Rainbow we'll find her," Sorain says. "Thanks you're a great husband," Rainbow replies. "I think it's a good idea if we get started on the search," Fleet Foot suggests. "Right," The girls say and begin their search for Twilight and her children. Their search took them all over Canterlot, they look in many different stores and cafes in the city just as they were going to give up Sorain sees Twilight and the other in Doughnut Joe's doughnut shop. "Hey Twilight!" Sorain screams. "Sorain what are you doing here?" Twilight ask. "Well every pony is looking for you and the others will be relieved that all of you are okay." Sorain answers. "I'm sorry Mr. Soarin that I cause so much trouble," Yuki apologizes sadly. "Ah don't worry it's not your fault you were scared by the crowd and create a magic surge," Sorain says cheering her up. "Okay," Yuki replies happily. "Twilight!" They turn to see Spike and other and are relieve that they are all okay. "Thank goodness," Rarity says happily. "We're glad you're alright," Applejack replies. "I'm glad you all found us," Twilight answers. "So what happen?" Rainbow asks. "Yuki created a magic surge that teleported here," Twilight answers. "So Yuki did activate her unicorn magic," Rarity replies surprisingly. "Yes and I'm really sorry," Yuki says sadly. "Now don't you worry darling you just got scared that's all," Rarity replies trying to cheer Yuki replies. "She's right what is important that you and your family are okay," Fluttershy replies. "Rarity we may have a little problem," Twilight says. "What will that be darling?" Rarity asks. "With everything that happen, Yuki, Ame, Tsubasa, and I are still wearing our pajamas and didn't bring any of our cloths with us," Sakura answers. "Oh my, that is a problem, but don't worry I have a boutique a couple of blocks from here," Rarity replies. "Okay," The kids say. "And one other thing I want to ask," Rarity replies. "What's that? Ame asks. "Where did you get those lovely pajamas Sakura?" Rarity asks admiring her pajamas. "Oh this is my night kimono," Sakura answers. "A what?" Rarity says confused. "A kimono, it's kind of traditional where I'm from. They're often used for Japanese restaurants, special event and sometime used for normal clothes," Sakura explains. "Well I say your kimono is very beautiful very inspirational. Maybe I can use your kimono for a new line is so different and nothing I ever saw in Equestria before," Rarity answers. "Really? You don't have kimono here?" Ame asks surprisingly. "I'm afraid not. But I might be the first pony in Equestria history to have a special clothes line from another world," Rarity answers in excite. "Wow Rarity you really want to do it?" Yuki asks happily. "Oh but course, doing a clothesline from another world is a golden opportunity," Rarity says. "I'm really happy to hear it. I'm happy that you want to design our Japanese traditional clothing in your line," Sakura replies. "Well like I said, it's really a once in a lifetime." Rarity replies. "Now let's get going to the boutique to have new clothes made for you," Rarity says happily. With that Rarity take Twilight, her kids, and the others to the Canterlot Carousal in the middle of Canterlot. The kids are happy to see one of her mother's friend's business where she sell the clothes their mom told them about. Twilight is more excited she's going to see Rarity fashion skills again. But Fluttershy just realize something, "Girls, don't you think we should let the princess know about this?" The girls stop and realize that she is right. They think for a bit until Rainbow Dash says, "I'll head back to castle to let them know that everything is okay and where you're going. I'll be back in a bit." "Okay," The group replies. Rainbow Dash flies back to the castle to inform the princesses, while the others head to the boutique for new clothes.
