//------------------------------// // Meet the Princesses.....and Discord // Story: A new dawn // by Frosty_Rainbow //------------------------------// The girls woke up to the delightful sound of birds chipping outside their windows. "Rise and shine everypony!" Spike said cheerfully when he came to wake everyone up. "Mmm, just five more minutes mom." Frosty groaned from underneath her sheets. Everyone apart from Frosty was awake, and Pinkie came to help Spike wake Frosty. Pinkie giggled and said "Frosty don't be so silly, were not your mom, wake up!" She said, shaking her uncontrollably "Ok, Ok I'm up, stop shaking me" Frosty said stumbling and groaning out of bed. "Good, cause Twilight's making her famous haycakes for breakfast." Spike said as he walked out "Haycakes? This is gonna be weird" Frosty muttered, walking out of her room to join the others for breakfast. Frosty trotted down stairs to the dinning room, getting occasionally lost but she found it. The others were all seated in golden chairs with purple plush cushions, the table was made almost entirely out of crystals, but the table legs were gold. "Morning guys." Frosty said taking a seat "Morning Frost" Everyone replied Frosty stopped to look at everyone for a second, they all seemed to be double, except for Sunset, Sunshine, Sunny Galaxy and Stormy. Frosty rubbed her eyes and looked again, they were still double. "Am I crazy or am I seeing doubles "Oh yeah, we forgot to tell you, we each have equestrian counterparts." Sunset explained casually "So how will we know who's who?" Frosty asked "Maybe they should dress differently like, hair-wise" Galaxy suggested "That's a good-" Frosty was cut of when Princess Twilight asked: "Who are you guys?" "Oh, Twilight, we forgot to introduce you, this is Sunny, Sunshine, Galaxy, Stormy and Frosty" Sunset explained "Hi" They said in unison "Their are friends from CHS, their here to help." Twilight said "Oh, nice to meet you guys, I'm Twilight and this here is my student Starlight" "Hey" Starlight said shyly "Anyway, enough chit-chat, haycakes are ready!" Princess Twilight announced Frosty and Stormy traded nervous glances, while the others just ate the food. "Any chance you have something that doesn't contain.." Stormy started "...Hay?" Frosty finished "Don't worry, It's delicious, trust me" Starlight reassured Frosty looked at the food again, still not convinced, but she tried it anyway. "Mm, this isn't so bad" Frosty said taking another bite "Yeah." Stormy said. "Told ya" Starlight said smugly When they finished breakfast, they went to the train station to head to Canterlot castle "Now were going to meet the Princesses," Princess Twilight said "We need to discuss what were going to do about the monster stealing magic" Everyone nodded in agreement and boarded the train. When they arrived in Canterlot, Rarity looked around in admiration "Wow, the palace is breathtaking." Rarity said dreamly "Come on Rarity, we don't have all day." Both Rainbow dashes said The 20 girls, plus Spike walked to the castle, and were escorted in by guards, at first, they thought the girls from CHS were changelings, But the Princess Twilight explained and proved that they weren't. When the guards opened the castle gates, Sunny, Sunshine and Galaxy were blown away by the pure awesomeness of the throne room, but Frosty and Stormy tried to act like they weren't impressed, but they secretly were. The throne room was decorated in baby blues and bright yellows with lots of tapestry's hangs on the walls. There were two thrones side-by-side, on with a bright golden sun and the other a silver moon. On the thrones were the princesses, they had long flowing manes and tails, Princess Twilight explained that they were sisters, but they didn't look anything alike. One sister (Princess Celestia) had a cream white coat and a multicoloured flowing mane, and the other sister (Princess Luna) had a dark blue coat and a blue and light blue flowing mane. The first thing Frosty and Stormy said when they saw them was; "Principle Celestia and Vice Principle Luna are princesses?!?!" "Yeah, that's what I said when I first saw 'em," Applejack (From CHS) said, "It'll take some getting used to." Frosty put her hoof to her head and sighed "So your telling me that our principles are princesses in this world." "Greeting my little ponies, Sunset I see you brought your friends with you this time." Princess Celestia said "My little ponies? That sounds like a TV show my little sister Winter would watch" Frosty whispered to Stormy, But she soon stopped when Sunset glared at her. "Anyway, do you mind introducing us to your friends, Sunset Shimmer?" Princess Luna asked "Sure, This is Sunny Skies, Sunshine Star, Galaxy Swirl, Stormy Blue and Frosty Rainbow" Sunset said "Why'd you tell her our last names?" Galaxy whispered to Sunset "Because Princess Luna is very formal when it comes to names, so she'll be calling you by you last name." Sunset explained, whispering back. "Wow, I've never heard Vice Prin- I mean Princess Luna say much other than 'No student parking in the faculty lot!' " Sunny said mockingly. While the others were talking and joking about, Princess Celestia and Luna called Sunset and Princess Twilight up to talk privately. "Sunset, are you sure it was wise to bring you friends here?" Princess Celestia asked "They don't seem to focused and are only mocking around." Princess Luna stated "Princesses, trust me these girls may seem to be joking around, but they can be very helpful when faced with a crisis." Sunset said proudly. "Let us hope your right Sunset Shimmer." Princess Luna said. "We shall move to the planning room for further discussion" Princess Celestia said. She and her sister lead everyone to the planning room, a big room (almost as big as the throne room) across the hall. The room had almost the same design as the throne room, but it had crystal book cases all around. "Um, Your Highness-es, do you mind telling us more about the...creature that's stealing magic?" Rarity asked nervously "Everypony take a seat" Princess Celestia ordered, "You see, this creature isn't just stealing magic, but it's stealing cities too." "Tis true, just the other day we lost Manehattan and Fillydelphia." Princess Luna explained sadly, "Ponies have been so frightened, they never come out of their houses nowadays." "That explains why it was a total ghost town when we left the castle." Sunshine realized "Or why nopony was on the train when we got on it." Twilight exclaimed "So we just have to figure out how it got here, I think it's a parasite, like a virus or something, I learned in Science class that a virus always need something to live in and then it reproduces, as in multiples." Frosty said. "Told you their smart." Sunset whispered to Celestia and Luna. "Let's think what the one thing that gives magic to the entire land...?" Frosty asked, scratching her head with her hoof in thought. "The elements of harmony!" The main six shouted. "The elements of harmony must be where the virus is, we just have to get them and somehow catch the virus." Princess Twilight and Frosty said in unison. "Smart thinking." Princess Twilight said, nudging her softly "Your not to bad yourself, Princess." Frosty said, nudging her back "So we just have to catch the virus? that sounds utterly boring, how about more chaos!" A mysterious voice said. "Discord we know it's you, you can come out now" Fluttershy (from Equestria) said "Who's Discord?" Galaxy asked "My, my I see Sunset Glimmer, I mean Shimmer has some new friends." Discord said, he stepped out of his hiding place and Frosty and Galaxy looked like they had just seen a ghost. Discord looked terrifying. He had the head of a donkey, the horns of a deer and dragon, a body like a snake with one lion paw and one eagle claw, the leg of a lizard, the other of a horse, and a long dragon like tail. Frosty just stared, not knowing either to run away screaming or attack it, instead she just stared. "Rainbow dash has a twin since when?" Discord asked sarcastically. "Were not twins!" Frosty and both Rainbow dashes yelled in unison. "Ok! Ok! sheesh, someone has anger issues." Discord said "OK, is everyone just going to ignore the fact that there is a giant what the heck he is just in here casually talking to us!?" Applejack (from CHS) asked pointing at Discord in disgusting. "My, Applejack that is very rude of you, draconaquues have feelings too you know." Discord said, dabbing a fake tear, "At least my good friends Celestia and Luna appreciate me being here, right guys." He said wrapping his arms around them and pulling them into a hug. "First of all Discord why are you here?" Princess Luna asked, pulling out of his hug "Why to help my friends of course, speaking of which, Sunset Sparkle here hasn't introduced me to her new friends." Discord said, extending his arms to pull Frosty, Sunny and Sunshine into a hug, before he could pull Frosty she looked him in the eye coldly and said, "Hug me I bite you" "Ok, fiesty little pony over here." Discord said, releasing them all from his hug. "First of all Discord, my name is Sunset Shimmer, and these are my friends from CHS, Frosty, Sunny, Sunshine, Stormy and Galaxy." Sunset explained. "Nice to meet you." Discord said, making a three more arms appear and shook their hands. "Um, ok nice to meet you too." Frosty said lightly shaking his hand "So enough chit-chat, what's the plan to take down this parasite?" Discord asked eagerly. "Why do you want to know?" Rarity (from Equestria) asked "Because I want to help." Discord said "I think we should let him help, he is reformed after all." Princess Celestia said "I know but remember what happened with Tirek." Princess Twilight said reminding her After some discussing, Princess Twilight finally let Discord help. "Yay! I know under all that grumpiness, your a real sweetheart Princess." Discord said pulling Twilight into a big hug. "Since I know you were eavesdropping, you probably heard what we were discussing right Discord?" Applejack (from Equestria) said. "Oh Aj, don't ask questions you already know the answer too." Discord said with a smirk. "Well, since we don't need to explain anything, let's go save Equestria!" Starlight said. "Right, but we have to make a plan first this parasite could be anything, and we need to be prepared" Twilight said. "Yep, still a nerd." Rainbow dash (from Equestria) said. "Hey! it's called thinking ahead." Twilight said offensively. "Enough you two, just make the darn plan already!" Frosty said, obviously annoyed. "Fine." They said. The girls spent hours making the plan before they set out, when they finish they packed their things and left, 'ittle did they know what they were up against.
