//------------------------------// // Chapter 12: Welcome Party // Story: Children of Harmony // by Pinkie Pie Sweets //------------------------------// Hinata Family's New House: After a while with Eden Sakura and the twins finally made it to their new house. Their house is like some of the houses in ponyville one a little bigger for Sakura and the others to fit when they get older. "Looks like the house is ready," Ame says looking at their new house "I think it's a really nice house," Eden complements happily. "Thanks even though it the first time seen it," Yuki replies happily. "Yes, but still we can't seem to find the host of the celebration," Sakura says looking at her list. "Who?" Eden asks. "Apparently there's supposed to be an earth pony named Raspberry Pie," Sakura replies. "That's strange I wonder why the lights are off," Yuki wonders. Lots of ponies in the house scream, "Surprise!" and the lights came on at the same time. There are a lot of ponies in different shape and size just then A pony with really curly dark magenta hair with brown fur and green eyes comes towards Sakura and the twins like it was a comet, "Hi I'm Raspberry Pie it's really really nice to meet you." "Hello," The kids says together. "It's so so so nice to finally meet you. My mom told me that you all don't look like ponies and it's true except for the ears extra parts, and extended pony tails. So what's your name, how old are you, when's your birthday, what's your favorite food, favorite, favorite dessert, favorite color, favorite….." Raspberry excitedly talks really fast and asking questions until Ace covers Raspberry's mouth with his hoof. "Now Raspberry you don't want to scare them with your fast talk," Baked Apple says while he coming towards them with Dragon Ruby, and his cousin Apple Eden "Hi guys," Sakura says cheerfully. "Hey Sakura how are thing go?" Ace asks. "Doing fine and glad I get to meet you guys," Sakura answers feeling happy to see her new friends. "Well well if it isn't the harmony headaches," A snobbish boy's voice come up. When they turn around, they can see two earth ponies. One of them has yellow gold fur and black mane and tail with yellow streaks in his mane and tail. His cutie mark is three gold bricks. The other one is a mare who has light green fur with dark green mane and tail. Her cutie mark is a green gem in a pendent. They're both the same age as Sakura and her friends. "Gold Brick and Peridox what are you doing here?" Baked Apple asks in anger. "Oh nothing we're just here to check out on your new friend here," Gold Brick answers in pride. "Um hello," Sakura says shyly. "Why are you interested in Sakura," Ace asks angrily. "Because we don't think she should be hanging out with you low lives," Peridox answers in a snobbish way. "What why not," Sakura asks surprisingly. "Because we heard about you being an alicorn and being a princess therefore you should be with upper class ponies like us," Peridox explains. "Come on Sakura you deserve better than those losers," gold Brick says. As Gold Brick and Peridox are trying to lead her away from the she decides to just head back to Ace than the other and think those two ponies only like her because of the role ponie believe she is. Sakura says, "Sorry guys but these ponies are my friends and like me whether I'm a princess or not." "Really we're friends," Ruby asks. "Of course we are I really like you guys and you all are all special, "Sakura explain making the gang very happy. The two ponies see that Sakura isn't going to be swept away, so they decide to leave with their nose sticking up in the air. Then she and her friends decide to go to the snake table to get some food and beverages. Little do they know Twilight and her friends saw the whole conversation and Twilight is very proud of her that she decide to be with her friends. "That's my girl," Twilight says quietly. "Yep Sakura reminds me so much of you," Applejack says with remark. "Thanks Applejack," Twilight says happily. "Yeah and who know Sakura might make a great princess someday," Soarin replies. "Now let's not be too hasty Soarin. Sakura is still new to this we don't want to pressure her," Rarity explains. "I agree Rarity," Fluttershy says in this conversation. "Don't worry I'm sure Sakura will get use to it," Pinkie says with confident for her. "I hope so while she was at the farm I think she felt a little uncomfortable about being addressed as a princess," Big Mac says a little worried. "You know Ace and Eden to me and Fluttershy the same thing," Rainbow says remembering what her son told her. "Yes I can understand it's going to be hard to get used to and not just for Sakura," Fluttershy replies in concern. "I agree will the twins and the baby be okay? Caramel asks Twilight. "I sure hope so," Twilight answers worried for her children's future in Equestria. Just then someone is knocking on the door. "Who can that be?" Rarity asks. When they open the door, it turns out to be Princess Celestia and Princess Luna. "Princess Celestia Princess Luna what are you doing here?" Twilight asks while bowing to the Princesses. Everypony else in the party also bowed to the royal sister before they decide to come in. "Hello Twilight. Luna and I are here to see how are you doing with your move," Celestia answers calmly. "We're doing fine Princess," Twilight answers still surprised of the princesses' unexpected visit. "By the way do you want to join the party," Pinkie asks excitedly. "Of course and Luna and I brought Sakura a very special present," Celestia accepts her offer and is bringing 9 present boxes with her magic as they are coming in. "What is it?" Twilight asks curiously. "You'll have to wait and see plus is something you and your friends will like and be surprise about," Celestia says with a smile on her face. "We also brought gifts for your other children and something special for Aerial Ace and the others," Luna replies to Twilight with a smile. "Wow thank you Princess," Twilight says happily. "It's no problem," Celestia replies happily. "Okay Let's Party!" Pinkie screams in excite. The party continue and things are going very well. Sakura, Ame, Yuki and Tsubasa along with her new friends are having a good time. Sakura do also have some mood swings about being a princess and that the ponies might start treating her like one. Celestia and Luna see Sakura and the others talking about stuff. When they get to them Celestia speaks first, "Good evening Sakura." "Oh hello Princess how are you doing?" Sakura asks nicely. "I'm doing fine and I can see you made some new friends," Celestia answers calmly and can see Sakura has new friends with her as well. "Yeah they are great and they are very nice as well," Sakura replies happily. "That's good to hear," Celestia says. Just then Ame and Yuki head toward Luna and Ame says,"Excuse me Luna my sister and I have a question" "Sure what would you like to know," "My mom told me you were sent to the moon so what's it like up there?" Ame asks. Luna feels a little uncomfortable answering that question at first but then again she can probably guess other information that her mother told him about,"Well it's kind of interesting because I found a castle on the moon," "Really a castle?" Yuki asks in excite. "Yes," Luna simply answers. "Back in our world people build rocket ships to get to the moon to explore and there are no castle up there," Sakura explain to the others. "Really now?" Luna asks with a small smile on her face. "Yes and the moon isn't even made of cheese either right?" Ame asks. Celestia and Luna couldn't help but laugh and Luna says, "Of course not it's made of rocks and dust." Then Yuki says, "We know that is just people write stories that the moon is made of cheese for fun." "Something that Discord will enjoy," Luna mutters to herself. "Speaking of Discord where is he?" Sakura asks. "Probably somewhere as long as he doesn't do anything that will get him into trouble," Celestia explain but Sakura can't tell that it's going to take some time before anypony including the princesses can trust Discord. Things are going very well Raspberry notice a lot of boxes with ribbon behind them and asks,"Hey princess what are those behind you?" "These are presets that for Sakura and her sibling and there are also presents for you and your friends," Celestia answers. "Sweet Present!" Ace screams in excite and then Ruby glares at him for his outburst. "Yes and there is one for each of you but first Ame, Yuk and Tsubasa will open their presents first then Sakura and the others will open theirs at the same time," Celestia instructs the others. "Okay," Everyone in the group agrees. At that moment Twilight and the other came to see that the twins are opening their presents but Tsubasa is having a little trouble since he is still a baby. "Here sweetie let me help you," Twilight says to her baby then use her magic to help him open it. When she open the box it turn out to be a Daring Do doll. Tsubasa is so excited that he takes the doll and starts to hug it. "I can see he really likes it," Luna says after giggling a bit. "Wow this is pretty," Yuki says and her present is a white hat with light blue snowflakes on the edge. "Wow this is a cool poster," Ame says and his present is a wonderbolt poster with Rainbow Dash, Soarin, Spitfire, and Fleet Foot. "Wow you got the rare Wonderbolts Poster and my parents are on it too. Cool!" Ace says in excite. "I'm glad you all like it now Twilight you and your friend get to help your children with their present since it's kind your present too," Celestia explains to the others. "Really it's exciting what is it," Pinkies says with a big smile on her face. "You'll see," Luna says. At that moment Sakura and her friends are opening their presents with their mother. When they finally open it, Twilight and her friends gasp in surprise while Sakura and her friends gasp in excite. Ace and the other have special necklaces in their boxes and each one is a different colored, shaped gem, while Sakura has a tiara with a magenta gem on it. "I don't believe it," Rainbow replies surprised. "This is a surprise," Rarity says still surprised. "I haven't seen it in years," Twilight says feeling like she is going to cry. "I thought you all might be surprise, " Celestia says. "What are they mom," Yuki asks her mother. "These are the Elements of Harmony and it was a very long time since I saw them," Twilight explains. "This is so cool," Ace says in excite "It's beautiful," Sakura says and put the crown on her head, "Thanks princess," Twilight says to the princesses. "You're welcome," Celestia and Luna says. After a big party: Sakura and the Twins are all ready for bed. Sakura has her own room, the Twins shared the room and Tsubasa's room is next to Twilight's room. Everypony gone home and might already be in bed and this party is a really big party that it tired everyone out. "Okay kids you all ready for bed," Twilight ask as the baby is sleeping in her hoofs. "Ready mom," The kids says together. "Good because tomorrow I need to do a lot of work and you kids get to go with Rainbow Dash to the park with your friends" Twilight says while rocking the baby. "Cool Rainbow and Ace promise to teach me and Sakura how to use our wings," Ame says eager. "And Ruby and Rarity promise me and Sakura to teach us to use our magic," Yuki says happily. "So what are you doing tomorrow?" Sakura asks. "Well I need to find some work get you and your brother and sister enroll in school and need to buy more things for the house," Twilight explain. "Make since," Ame says. "Well it's time for you to get some sleep," Twilight replies. "Goodnight mom," The kids says. "Goodnight kids," Twilight says. The kids decide go to their rooms so they can go to sleep and tomorrow will be a new day and something interesting will happen. In a hidden cave: The shadow creature comes back to it's master and it is very weak and tired. "So how did your mission go?" The mysterious figure asks. The shadow explain that Twilight manage to get away because of her daughter having alicorn magic. That made the creature's master very interested in Sakura "There is a new alicorn in Equestria and one more stronger than Twilight," The mysterious master says and realize that is very special. Sighs and says, " No matter once that girl's magic get strong, I will use her to take back what should have been mine."
