And so the mare's first teaching lessons began. First Twilight and the others officially dubbed her Jasira which she took a liking to. Twilight first started her off with learning the alphabet to help her learn to talk.
"A."
"ah."
"No, Jasira. A."
"A-Ah."
"A."
"... A."
"Good."
Once they got through the rest of the Alphabet, they went to writing. Twilight lit her horn and took out a pen. Jasira looked at her horn confused. "What's wrong?" Twilight asked. Jasira pointed to her horn. "Oh right.. you probably don't know how to use your magic. Well just concentrate and keep your eyes open. Jasira nodded and concentrated and her horn lit up in a bright pink magical aura. She levitated a pen and stared at it in wonder. Twilight giggled at her expression.
"Now.."
Twilight wrote the word 'Cat' in the air. "You copy."
Jasira nodded and wrote the word, 'Cat' in the air as well.
"Good." Twilight praised. For someone whose never learned any of this before, Jasira was a fast learner.
Soon Twilight had her writing four letter words in no time. She was impressed with Jasira. Now.. time for reading. Twilight took out a simple children's book and placed it in front of Jasira. She pointed to a word and Jasira was expected to read it back to her. She read the whole book reading back every word to Twilight. "Excellent, Jasira."
Jasira smiled. "How about you take a break okay?" Twilight asked. Jasira nodded and turned and she and her dragon exited the castle. Ponies walked by her but she didn't say hi to them since she wasn't quite there yet. Her dragon was walking beside her and warbled. Jasira rubbed her friends head. Just then she soon came to Town Hall. Her dragon noticed something and approached it. "W-Where.. you.. um... going?" she slowly called to her dragon friend.
She followed her dragon and they soon saw what appeared to be a setup for a party. There was a buffet table with a punch bowl, a cake, cupcakes, a bowl of chips, and other eats, a pińata, a circle of chairs, streamers hung in the air, and there were bunches of balloons.
"SURPRISE!!!"
"GAAAHHH!!!" the loud shouting and sudden appearance of dozens of ponies, including Twilight and her friends, and especially Pinkie Pie, who'd popped up beside him.
"Surprise! It's your 'Welcome to Ponyville' Party!" Pinkie declared happily, "I throw one for every newcomer to Ponyville no matter what! Were you surprised? Were you, were you? Huh-huh-huh?!" Jasira's heart was racing in fear and she got up and ran away from Pinkie Pie and the party.
...
...
...
"Ooh, are we gonna start the party off with hide n' seek?" Pinkie laughed it off. "Well, ready or not, here we come!" Pinkie was ready to chase her when Twilight grabbed her tail in her magic. "Easy Pinkie... I think we scared her." Twilight said.
"Scare her? How?" Pinkie asked.
"Well... there are a whole lot of ponies here." Applejack said.
"And the darling did look absolutely horrified." Rarity added.
"Yeah... a large party for a extremely shy pony might not have been the best idea, Pinkie." Rainbow added.
Pinkie took in what her friends were saying, "Oh.. I didn't mean to scare her.. again. I just wanted her to be happy."
Twilight put a hoof on her shoulder. "And she will. All she needs is time to get used to everyone. So how about you hold off on the 'Welcome to Ponyville' Party for her?"
"I guess I could do that." Pinkie said.
"Good. Now we have to find Jasira and the Light Fury... again." Twilight said.
"I see her!" Rainbow called from the sky. "She's on the cliffside of that mountain near your castle, Twilight."
"Come on girls." Twilight and the girls went behind Twilight's castle and found Jasira and her Light Fury laying down on a ledge. "Jasira, Light Fury, you can come down now." Applejack called.
Jasira looked at the girls and let out a scared squeak and moved back. "I don't think she wants to come down." Rainbow said.
"Poor darling. She must be terrified." Rarity said.
"Maybe we can convince her to come down another way?" Twilight suggested.
The girls tried to persuade Jasira to come down with some chocolate cake but Jasira levitated the cake piece up to her and ate it then levitated the plate back down to the girls, who looked at each other awkwardly. Next they tried a small trap to see if they could catch Jasira... but her Light Fury blasted that trap to bits and stared at the girls with a deadpanned look that was meant to say, 'Really?'.
The girls decided to go back into the castle and try to think of something else.
They were all around the Cutie Map. "We've tried everything and she still won't come down." Rainbow said.
"Maybe we should just give her some space. You know, let her come to us." Fluttershy suggested.
"I don't think we have any other choice than that, girls." Twilight stated. "We just have to hope and see if Jasira comes down."
The girls nodded and agreed to wait.
The Next Day
Twilight yawned and came to the dining area for breakfast to find...
"Jasira!"
Jasira was sitting at the table with her Light Fury by her side. "H-Hello." Jasira stammered.
"Hi, I see you're talking a little." Twilight stated.
Jasira nodded. Jasira was eating an omelette while her dragon was having some fish. Just then, Spike came in with a letter, "Twilight, this came for you."
Twilight took the letter in her magic and read it
Dear my most faithful Student, Twilight
I received the letter you wrote to me about the new pony and her companion. I would like for you and your friends to bring them to Canterlot so that my sister and I can meet them personally.
Yours truly,
Princess Celestia
"Woah.. the Princess wants to meet Jasira." Twilight said.
"W-Who um.. is Princess... Celestia?" Jasira stammered.
"Oh, she's one of the rulers of Equestria along with her sister, Princess Luna." Twilight explained. "And they want to meet you today." Jasira's face turned very nervous. "T-t-today?"
Twilight nodded, seeing the nervousness in her face. "Don't worry, me and the girls will be there for you."
"O-o-okay." Jasira said.
"Good." Twilight smiled.
Later that day,
They reach to Canterlot on one of the trains and they are really thrilled but Jasira was feeling anxious about it right now. She is also wondering about the kind of ponies, stores, animals, plants and what kind of place Canterlot is.
"Now Entering Canterlot Station," The Conductor called.
With that everypony gets off the train to get to Canterlot for their destination. Twilight, Spike, Jasira, and the others got off the train as well "Yeah, we're finally at Canterlot," Rainbow said excited
"This is so exciting. Jasira is gonna meet the Princesses!" Pinkie screamed happily.
Calm down sugarcube" Applejack stated. Pinkie calmed down.
"Come on Jasira, you're going to love Canterlot," Twilight replied.
"O-okay." Jasira stammered. She followed Twilight and the others into Canterlot as they made their way to the castle. However, she spots a pony in golden armor looking serious. She whimpered and quickly ran away.
It doesn't take long for Twilight and her friends to notice Jasira running far away from the castle. Her Light Fury warbled and ran after her.
"Jasira, come back!" Twilight called.
"Oh no." Rarity added. "Why did she run away?"
"I think it was because of the royal guards." Fluttershy stated.
"You think she got scared of the guards?" Applejack asked.
"I believe so. I guess she never see any pony in armor before and afraid they will attack her or something," Twilight informed. "Come on girls, we need to find her and let her know that the guards are not going to hurt her."
With that Twilight and the girls leave the castle and begin their search for Jasira, hoping to find her before something goes wrong.
At a different part of Canterlot
Jasira was hiding under the table still rather scared of this encounter from earlier. Her Light Fury was beside her and a wing wrapped around her to comfort her.
"Hello," A calm female voice called..
Jasira heard the voice and came out... well her head is out anyway. When she looked she saw two ponies. One of them is a stallion and he has a blue and light blue color main and tail, a white coat with blue hooves. His cutie mark is a shield with a 6 pointed magenta star on it and above it three small 6 pointed magenta stars.
The other one is an alicorn mare, just like her, only she her fur is pink, she has a multi color of purple, pink, and yellow in her mane and tail, and her wings has some light purple shades on them. Her cutie mark is a crystal heart with two gold brace around it.
"H-Hello." Jasira stammered.
"Hi I'm Shining Armor."
"And I'm Cadence."
"I-I-I'm J-J-Jasira."
Candace simply laughs and says, "It's nice to meet you Jasira"
"So what are you doing under there?" Shining Armor asks.
"Um… I got scared." Jasira said.
"Scared?" Cadence says questionably.
"Of what?" Shining Armor asks.
"Strange.. ponies... w-who.. wore.. g-golden um.. clothing," Jasira replied, feeling a bit scared.
Shining Armor and Cadence looked at each other and smiled, "Don't worry, those are the royal guards they won't hurt you." Shining Armor stated.
"Are you sure?" Jasira asked. Shining Armor and Cadence nodded. That's when her Light Fury came out from underneath the table. Shining Armor and Cadence gasped in awe at the dragon while some of the ponies nearby gasped in horror or screamed and ran away.
"Woah... whose your friend?" Cadence asked.
"She.. um... Light Fury... kind dragon... been with me... for.. um.. years." Jasira said.
"What's her name?" Shining Armor asked. Jasira opened her mouth and realized she never named her Light Fury. "Huh?... I never did."
"Well what are you thinking?" Cadence asked.
"Um.... how um.. about.. Snow?" Her Light Fury warbled and nuzzled Jasira, liking the name.
"Guess she likes it." Shining Armor added. "So where were you heading."
"To the um.. castle. But now I'm.. um.. lost." Jasira replied.
"Don't worry, we'll help you find your way back to the castle." Cadence stated.
"Yes we're heading there anyway," Shining Armor added.
"Okay." Jasira added.
At the Castle
Twilight and her friends could not find Jasira so they decide to ask the princesses for help. When they found the princesses, they explained everything, "So you see Princess we think Jasira got scared of the guards and ran off," Twilight replied.
"And we couldn't find her or her dragon," Rainbow Dash added sounding freaked out.
"Oh dear," Princess Celestia says sounding concern.
Luna comes up to her sister and says, "You're right sister, we need to find her."
"I'm worried, she must be so scared by now," Fluttershy replied sounding very worried for Jasira.
"I know," Applejack says sadly.
"We have to find her before something terrible happens to her," Rarity said dramatically.
Then, one of the guards come to the front of the door and called, "Princess Celestia. Princess Cadence and Shining Armor has arrived and they brought a guest with them."
"Thank you," Princess Celestia replies.
The guards bowed to the princesses and leave to let Princess Cadence and Shining Armor inside the throne room. When the doors are opened Shining Armor and Princess Cadence entered the throne room, "Hello Princess Cadence and Shining Armor how are you doing?" Princess Celestia greeted.
"We're doing fine." Princess Cadence answered with a smile.
Then Twilight happily called, "Cadence! Shining Armor!"
"Twily, Shining Armor called back happily.
With that, Shining Armor, Cadence, Twilight gave each other a big hug. After that, Cadence and Twilight did their little rhyme that they away do since they were young,
"Sunshine, Sunshine. Ladybugs awake. Clap your hooves and do a little shake." After their rhyme they laugh happily and are very glad to see each other again.
"We're so glad to see you again," Cadence said happily.
"I'm glad too, but the guards said that you have a guest with you," Twilight added.
"Yes we found her while we were heading here and she said she's a friend of yours," Shining Armor explained.
"Where is she?" Spike asks curiously.
"I think she's where the doors are," Princess Cadence answers.
Cadence face the door to call their guest to the room. Cadence says, "Come on in. Your friends are waiting for you.
Everypony face the doors to see their guest. At that time, Jasira walked into the throne room. "Jasira!" The girls and Spike say surprisingly. The girls ran over to her to see if she's okay.
"Oh thank goodness you're okay," Applejack says as she gave Jasira hug.
"Darling you had us worried," Rarity replies.
"I'm sorry, but when... I saw to ponies.... I got so scared and runway."
Twilight put her wing over Jasira to help her feel more relaxed, "It's okay, but those were Princess Celestia's royal guard. They are meant to protect ponies."
Then Pinkie came over to Jasira with a big smile on her face and said, "Speaking of which it's will be good to introduce yourself to her." And with that, Pinkie dragged Jasira and her dragon to the princesses really fast, "Princess Celestia. Princess Luna. This is Jasira. Jasira, this is Princess Celestia and her little sister, Princess Luna"
"H-h-hello," Jasira replied, still feeling a bit nervous.
"Not to worry Jasira, you are among friends here." Celestia stated.
"Yes and we are both very glad to meet you," Princess Luna added.
Jasira started to feel a little better. "I see you've already met my faithful student and her friends." Celestia added. Jasira nodded.
"Jasira, can you tell us anything about yourself?" Luna asked. "Anything at all?"
"Um... well... All I remember is three ponies... two were bad and one was good. The bad ponies called me a... creation." Jasira explained.
"Creation?" Twilight asked. "You mean like lab creation?"
"I-I guess." Jasira said. "T-The good pony t-took me out a-a-and gave me the cloak and b-bag. S-She said g-get away from the place b-before they f-find me."
"Before who finds you sugarcube?" Applejack asked.
"I-I don't know... b-but they s-s-sounded bad." Jasira said.
"Hmmm... very interesting." Celestia said.
"So what now Princess?" Twilight asked.
"My sister and I shall look into this. In the meantime, I need you girls to help Jasira become comfortable with our society." Celestia added.
"We will Princess." Twilight said.
"Good, I wish you all the best of luck but first..." Celestia took out a tiny needle and stuck it into Jasira. "Owie!"
"Huh? What was that for?" Twilight asked.
Celestia put the blood in a test tube. "This may give us some insight on to why someone would be after Jasira."
"I guess that makes sense." Twilight said.
"Farewell my little ponies." Celestia said. Twilight and the girls exited the throne room with Jasira and Snow following them.
