Chapter 51: A Hearth's Warming Royal Meeting

The next day, Sakura and her brothers and sister are sleeping in the guest room, and the sun is starting to rise from Celestia's magic. When the sun rises, the light goes inside the room, and shines on to Sakura's face. The brightness of the sun is making Sakura unable to sleep any longer. She opens her eyes, and lets out a yawn. She sits up and rubs her eyes. She she is starting to fully wake up, Sakura remembers what day it is.

Sakura turns to the twins, and quietly says, "Ame, Yuki, it's time to wake up."

The twin begin to wake up, but are feeling tired too. They both rub their eyes and are starting to fully wake up.

Yuki yawns, and says, "Good morning."

"Morning sis," Ame replies, tiredly.

Then Yuki asks, "Is Tsubasa yet?"

"I think he's still sleeping with mom in her room," Sakura answers.

Ame gets out of bed, and says, "Let's see if we can wake them up."

Yuki and Sakura agree if they can walk up their mom and baby brother. They put their slippers on and walk to the room. They open the door quietly so they won't have to wake them up before heading to the bead. However, they can see that Tsubasa is already awake. He is simply sitting on the bed playing with his Daring Do doll. He smiles happily as Sakura and the twins walk towards the bed,

"Good morning Tsubasa," Sakura happily says, sitting next to the baby.

The baby simply giggles and shows a smile on his face. Ame and Yuki decide to play with him for a little while. Just then, their mother sits up from her sleep and lets out a yawn.

While rubbing her eyes, Twilight says, "Well, I can see there's no need to wake you kids up, including the baby."

"Sorry about coming in mom, but we want you to come with us for Hearth's Warming day," Yuki replies.

"And we want to take Tsubasa with us," Ame adds.

Twilight giggles and says, "Well it is Hearth's Warming, so it will be a time to get up and have some breakfast, and then we can get on with opening the presents with the rest of the family."

"Yay!" The twins cheer.

With that, the twin run out of the room with smiles on their faces so they can go and get dressed. Sakura rolls her eyes with a smile, and remember how she behaves at that age. She picks up Tsubasa, and hold on to him as she and her mother walk out of the room. Twilight stays behind as Sakura and the others walk head with smiles on her faces. She's still a little concern about her family's meeting with two rulers of Equestria.

Sometime later, Twilight and the kids, along with her brother and his family, his parents, and the two princesses are at the table eating. They are having a wonderful time with their breakfast, and there are a lot of things for them to eat. However, Sakura can see that Princess Luna has bags in his eyes, and looks rather drowsy.

Sakura turns to Princess Luna and asks, "Um Princess Luna, are you feeling okay."

"Of course I'm fine, why wouldn't I be," Princess Luna replies with a smile, follow by a small yawn.

Sakura rubs her head with a concern look, and asks, "Well, you look rather tired, did you not get enough sleep last night?"

"I wouldn't say getting enough sleep is the problem. As princess of the night it is my duty to go into ponies dream and drive off any bad dreams that will come across," Princess Luna explains.

"You actually go into ponies dreams?" Ame asks, looking curious.

"Indeed she does," Princess Celestia answers.

Ame and Yuki are very interested to hear that Princess Luna can go into ponies dream, and wonder if she does it to them as well.

Princess Celestia turns to Twilight and says, "Twilight."

"Yes princess," Twilight replies.

"After we're finish with breakfast, I would like you and the children come with me to my royal chamber," Princess Celestia says.

"Of course," Twilight replies.

Twilight is becoming a bit nervous about this. She knows that she and her children are going to meet the two rulers of Equestria. After they finish eating, Twilight, Sakura, the twins, and the baby are with Princess Celestia in her royal chamber. The kids are kind of curious about all of them going with the princess. The twins want to be with Rose and Blue Quartz, so they can open their presents and play with them, but knowing the princess wants them here.

Sakura turns to Princess Celestia and asks, "Princess Celestia why do you want all of us to come with you to your room?"

"Yeah why?" Ame adds.

"I actually have two very special ponies who really want meet all of you," Princess Celestia answers with a smile.

The three kids look at each other with confused look on their faces. They start to wonder who are these special guest are, and why do they want to meet them, including their mother and baby brother. Just then, two bright yellow lights hover into the room and let out a bright shine into the room, blinding everyone in the room. When the light clears away, they are surprised to see two more alicorns have enter the room.

The first alicorn is male, which is surprisingly because Sakura has never seen a male alicorn before. He has light blue coat, white with light blue streaks in his little curly mane and tail. Hi cutie mark is a shining silver sword with a crescent moon next to it. He is wearing a gold crown, shoes, and a necklace with his cutie mark on it. The other alicorn is female, and she has the exact fur color as Princess Celestia. The mare has pastel pink hair that is shimmering and looks like mist, and her cutie mark is a sun in a shape of a heart and has white angel wings on it. She is wearing silver shoes, crown, and a necklace with a blue gem in the middle.

Sakura and the others are wondering who they are and why are they facing them. Princess Celestia is the only one who is smiling while Twilight is still feeling a bit insecure about seeing the two alicorns, mostly because Sakura and the kids are meeting them.

Princess Celestia walks over to them, and introduces the two groups to each other. "Everypony, this is my mother, Angel Wings. And my father, Moon Sword."

Sakura and the twins are shocked to hear what Princess Celestia is saying. These two alicorns are her parents, and king and queen of all of Equestria. The kids along with their mother show their respect to the rulers and bow down to them.

Moon Sword says, "Please, there is no need to be formal with us."

"We are very pleased to meet you all," Angel Wings replies.

Sakura looks at the alicorns and says, "It's very nice to meet you."

"It's really nice, but why do you want to meet us?" Yuki asks.

"Celestia told us about your mother ended up in another world, and on how all four of you young one are very special pony hybrids, especially you, Sakura," Moon Sword explains, and then looks at Sakura with a smile.

"Um me, your majesty?" Sakura questionably replies.

The two rulers nods their heads with a smile on their faces.

Angel Wings says, "Yes. When our daughters told us about you, we were a bit surprised to hear that another alicorn like you existed."

"Celestia also told us about your magic and potential. However, we both can sense a different feeling coming from your magic. My wife and I think your magic is special, and part of it is because your part human." Moon Sword explains.

"There for your Equestrian magic is not only powerful, but a different and unique for of magic, and that goes the same for your brothers and sister. Sadly however, someone knows about it as well," Angel Wings adds.

Twilight, Sakra, and the twins are shocked to hear what the two rulers are explaining to them. Not only Sakura's magic and the twins' Equestrian magic are different and special, but someone else is aware of that face.

Ame comes over, and asks, "Does the shadow creature had anything to do with all this?"

"I'm afraid it does Ame, and my parents also wanted to warn you about this before he gets the chance," Princess Celestia explains.

"He?" Sakura and Twilight questionably replies.

Moon Sword and Angel Wings use their magic to create a life size image some a creature. The creature looks like a giant sized cobra, that has a long neck, and a very long tail about 20 feet. His scales is dark purple with black, and silver pattern around his hood and tail. He is carrying a trident in his right claw. Seeing the image is fighting to Sakura and the twins, especially to their mother who has a fear with snakes.

"Who is that guy?" Sakura asks.

"He's scary," Yuki replies, shaking and covering her eyes.

"That creature is a serpentine from another land. His name is Naga. He was an evil sorcerer with tremendous black magic and hypnotic powers within his Ago, my wife and I fought him, and had him exiled from Equestria. Sadly, it seemed that his imprisonment wasn't enough to keep his magic from getting out," Moon Sword explains.

Then Angel Wings explains, "We figures that the shadow creature that been attacking you was one of Naga's magic, and you can probably guess what it means."

"So this Naga was the one who was after me and my mom this whole time?" Sakura asks.

The three rulers nod their heads answering Sakura's question.

Then Ame asks, "If this Nagawas after mom, then why is he trying to get Sakura."

"I think it's because of her magic," Twilight answers.

Sakura and the twins look at their mother with a shocked look on her face.

"What do you mean, mom?" Yuki asks.

"Princess Celestia have told me that Sakura's magic is powerful. At first the shadow was after me, but found a more powerful magic. Princess Celestia also told me that her parents know about it, and wanted to tell you about it themselves. I'm sorry for not telling all of this sooner," Twilight explains.

Sakura feeling stunned, and asks, "So this snake, Naga… wants me, but… but why? Why me out of all ponies… or people in my case."

"Because he sensed that your magic is powerful and different from how Equestria magic is. He wanted you and your magic from whatever plan he can benefit from, but my parents and I won't allow that to happen," Princess Celestia firmly explains.

Sakura and Twilight are very concern about this snake creature. What's worse is that there isn't much of a clue where he is or will make another shadow creature to make his appear. There is one thing that they really want to know.

"How are we going to find him?" Twilight asks.

"Yeah. I want to give him a Rainbow Rocket Punch, Rainbow Dash taught me. That will teach him to mess with us," Ame says doing air punches and kicks while in the air.

"I don't think it's that simple Twilight," Princess Celestia answers.

"Why not?" Sakura asks.

"For one, we don't know his exact whereabouts, and if we do anything rash we could end up being under his control if we try anything," Angel Wings explains.

Sakura understand this, and says, "So we'll just have to wait until he make an appearance. Until then we need to come up with a plan of action."

"Correct Sakura," Princess Celestia replies.

Then Angel Wings says with a smile, "But until then, my husband and I would like to get to know you, and about your lives in the other world."

"We have heard of Meddle Brook's portal, but nopony have enter the other world before, and e sure like to know about it," Moon Sword adds.

Twilight, Sakura, and the twins explain to the royal couple how their lives is like living in Okinawa Japan. They talk about the school, the city, and trips they used to go with their father, and see their other relatives there. Sadly, they also mention of their father's death, and how hard it's been for them. They also tell them about their new life in Equestria, and how happy they are to have great friends, Hearing the story, the king and queen can tell that Twilight has made a life living in the other world, and how her kids are able to make a home in Equestria. What they are not aware of is that the shadow has been spying on the whole conversation, and the enemy is not far behind.

Later in the morning, Sakura, the twins, and Rose Crystal are at the Hearth's Warming Tree opening their presents, while the parents are helping the babies open theirs. Sakura and the twins end with some new clothes, books, toys, and other stuff. Blue Quartz and Tsubasa have new baby toys and baby books for them. After they finish their presents, the kind spend the rest of their fun playing in the snow, building snowmen or snow ponies, snow forts, playing snowballs, and making snow flakes. After their long day of fun, they have their dinner with hot chocolate inside next to the fire. They sure have a wonderful Hearth's Warming and they are able to spend it with their family.
