//------------------------------// // Requests // Story: The Second Story of Sky Blue // by Capulus //------------------------------// As Sky and Rainbow approached the princess --who was lying on some cushions in the library’s lobby-- they saw she was writing a letter, and stood quietly, before Celestia signed her name and handed it to Spike, who breathed on it, and Sky guessed it was being sent to Luna. Poor Luna. She’s been sending Celestia letters daily, asking for advice on what to do. She must be a bit overwhelmed. Funny, though, because Celestia said that Luna was telling her to stay in Ponyville until she was healed. I just wish I could have thought of another spell... Then Celestia wouldn’t be in this mess. They trotted over when Celestia beckoned, and Sky and Rainbow Dash knelt in front of her. “What do you need, Princess?” This was from Sky, who was very confused, wondering what the Princess needed so urgently. “Well, Sky Blue, Rainbow Dash, I have been wondering what to award you for your services to Equestria, and for defeating Chrysalis and Discord once and for all. I have thought about it. And I have decided to give you two things. First, I know that you are having trouble finding a venue for your wedding, correct?” Sky and Rainbow nodded, and even Rainbow looked excited. “Well, I know of a place that you will never forget. The Hall of The Elements, in my castle!” Rainbow actually jumped up at this, a look of joy on her face. “The hall of the elements!? Getting married there would be awesome!” Sky was surprised at Rainbow’s outburst, knowing her to be practically indifferent to these things, and said so. “What is the hall of the elements?” “It’s a hall--” “Obviously.” “Let me finish! It’s a hall where they display stained glass windows, with all of the achievements related to The Elements of Harmony are! They’re so beautiful, getting married there would be unforgettable! And it is also the place where the elements are kept.” “Nice... I like the sound of it.” Celestia smiled. “And the second gift, I will leave up to you. Let me know when you make a decision. I don't care what it is, I will do my best to fulfill anything you request.” Sky thought it over for a moment, and saw how happy Rainbow Dash was. Let’s see how much happier we can make her... Sky smiled even wider as an idea popped into her head. “I was wondering... Could you maybe get the Wonderbolts to attend? Maybe do a show?” Sky knew that this had been the right thing to say, as Rainbow Dash froze, and Celestia smiled widely. “Of course I can get them to attend. I know Rainbow Dash is a fan of them, and I’m sure they would be only too happy to do a show for her.” Sky just smiled as Rainbow unfroze and let out a small fangirl squeal. “The... Wonderbolts? Coming to... My wedding? Performing at my wedding? YES!” She jumped into the air, her smile threatening to break her head in half. Celestia chuckled. “If you are sure, Sky, I will write a letter right away. But, are you sure? I could give you anything. You could be rich, have a new house, a place in my court?” Celestia smirked as she said this, and Sky figured it must be just a formality. She decided to play along. “I don’t need money, Princess. Rainbow’s house is perfect. And, no offense, but working in the royal court sounds like the most sinfully boring job in the world. All I care about is making ‘Dash happy. And if having the Wonderbolts at our wedding accomplishes that, then that is what I ask for.” Celestia smiled, and winked at Sky, saying; “Yes, the royal court is extremely boring.” Rainbow landed next to Sky, having done about twenty laps of the room in her excitement. “Really? You could have all of that... And you just want to make me happy?” “Of course, love!” Rainbow hugged Sky, and laughed as they broke apart. “The Wonderbolts are going to be at my wedding! YEAH!” “Umm... No offense, Princess, but Rainbow and I have to get back to readying the storm.” “Of course, Sky. And Rainbow, like I said, I’m sure the Wonderbolts will be happy to attend and perform at your wedding.” And with this, the two pegasi left the library, kissed and went back to getting the storm ready. They agreed to tell Rarity during the storm, after it had been started. Zoom had stopped at a small inn on the side of the road, as a huge storm was gathering in and around Ponyville, and he didn’t wish to get caught up in it. He was now sitting in the corner of the smoky room, trying not to breathe too deeply. I just want to know why she killed Laura. Why?! She didn’t do anything wrong. She never did! Laura was innocent. And yet no-one cares that Sky Blue killed her. Maybe she just brainwashed them, or hypnotised them... I don’t know. I just want to get to Ponyville and make Sky Blue pay for ruining my life! Zoom eventually went up to his small rented room, and fell into an uneasy sleep, wondering how he was going to make Sky pay. He wouldn’t kill her. He wouldn’t sink to her level.
