//------------------------------// // Journey to Equestria // Story: Harmony's Light // by KH_MLP_234 //------------------------------// Three heroes decided to pack their stuff before they go to Equestria. Master Yen Sid told them that they stayed there for such a long time. Donald and Goofy drove Sora to Destiny Islands before they both headed to Disney Castle. Sora packed all his clothes and stuff at his red and black backpack and lastly a photo of his friends. After he packed his stuff, he went to the island, but he didn't expect that all his friends were there. "Oh, hi guys. What's up?" The spiky haired boy asked. ”We came to see you before you head to your next adventure." Riku replied. "Master Yen Sid told us that you won't be back sooner, so we want to wish you guys luck." Roxas said. "Aw, you guys are the best!" Sora smiled, a tear fall from his right eye. "Woah, crying already? What happened to the tough and fearless Sora that we know?" Lea joked. "Oh, knock it off, Lea" Isa said. "Sora and the others will leave soon and besides, sometimes Sora's jokes are more funnier than yours." "Hey! Are you betraying me? My heart is broken..." Lea said sarcastically, which make the whole gang laugh. After they stopped, Sora saw Kairi, who walking toward him. Sora felt a little sad somehow. Few weeks ago, the spiky haired boy confessed his feelings to her, but she only sees him as a brother. Sora was heart broken, but he agreed to be her best friend. "Hello Sora" Kairi said awkwardly. "Hi Kairi" Sora replied. "I hope you'll success your quest and remember, we'll always be there for you." The red haired girl encouraged the spiky haired boy. Then the Gummi Ship arrived from the sky as it landed on the island. Sora looked at his friends for one last time and waved them goodbye. He jumped into the ship and took his seat in the cockpit as it took off. The hatch closed just before Donald blasted off. After few hours passed, Sora and his friends arrived to their new world they take a look at its appearance. There was a magnificent castle at the top of a mountain city on top, a small village at the bottom with an overgrown forest nearby, railroads connecting to the two major parts of the world and other smaller locations on the sides. “So, this is the place?” Sora said. “Uh huh, Master Yen Sid said, ‘that this place would be important,’” Donald spoke. “Gawrsh, it sure looks like a pretty place to live in, but looks can be de-sheathing.” Goofy said. “Deceiving, Goofy,” the duck-ish voice reprimanded swiftly, “I’m pretty sure what you said isn’t even a real word this time,” then he grumbled leaving the other two chuckled. Sora then flash a big silly grin and held his hand behind his head before he speaks again “Who knows guys, this maybe Yen Sid’s way of giving me another Mark of Mastery Exam.” “Sora, he didn't said this was part of the Mark of Mastery,” Donald tried to correct him as he started preparing for their departure. “No one said it wasn’t either,” Sora seemed to smirk and fold his arms as if winning this small argument. This only made Donald heave a sigh of resignation. It’s best to get back to the matter at hand. Meanwhile at the Town Hall, the Mane 8 and Spike were separated to do their parts. Applejack is standing in the Apple stall along with Granny Smith, Big Mac and Sugar Belle (since she wants to help her coltfriend), Fluttershy is now in front of a tiny ewes, inside there are so many different furry animals, Pinkie is practicing her comedy and joker at the middle of the Town Square, Alyssa is stacking her novel books at her table stall before organize them, Rarity is now organize her fashions with her models at the backstage along with Starlight, who helping the students to get ready for the show, Rose is decorating her treats with frosting with a help from Mr and Mrs Cake in the Sweet stall, Rainbow Dash is helping to carry heavy stuff since she doesn't have anything else to do, and Wave is walking around and holding his own pen and checklist with his blue telekinesis, Spike is sitting on his back. Wave checked his checklist. "...Ferris Wheel, check! Snacks, check! Talent Show, still working on it. Decoration, almost. The children playground, check!" "Is that everything?" Spike asked. "Well, almost. All we need to wait for Sea Swirl to get the seashell accessories and souvenirs, some gems from Maud for the dragons, Changeling's occasional potluck from Bathera and so on." Wave said to Spike as he puts his checklist on his saddlebag. "You know, ever since you guys came here, you actually kinda like Twilight, great at organize, read books, know every spells." Spike said. But Wave disagreed of what Spike has just said. "But did she do something really evil? Evil ancestor? Friends with every single villains?" The emerald unicorn asked. "Um, no..." Spike said. "So how come you can say we're alike?" Wave asked. "Huh, you do have a point." Spike said, stroking his head. Wave always wondered how Sunset and Starlight could get over this situation. But then suddenly, the emerald unicorn noticed something is flying on the sky. Even though it's too far away, he knew that it's the Gummi Ship, which means his friends have returned and he couldn't wait to see them again. Wave wished he could greet them by now, but he need to stayed to check the preparation. "Come on, Spike! Let's finish what we've started!" Wave said as he's galloping toward to the Town Hall. "Let's do this!" Spike agreed. As the trio descend into the planet's atmosphere, Donald's magic turned Sora into a Pegasus pony; his coat was the same color as his skin, his fur was brown, one could say caramel even. His mane and tail a darker shade, chocolate would probably be the closest similarity., his tail was short but spiky, like his mane, which maintained its original color, all he wore was his shirt, his gauntlets the grey circles on the backs and yellow buckled straps around his wrists, and jacket on his upper body, and a gold-colored crown was marked on his flanks, which looked like his silver crown necklace that's hanging around his neck. "There ya go!" Donald said. "Hey, how come you two aren't in disguise?" Sora asked. "Maybe we don't need disguise in my this world." Goofy said. "What do you mean 'maybe'? We've been here before, remember? We don't need the disguise, expect Sora, because this world never seen any humans!" Donald snapped Goofy. "Oh, yeah!" Goofy laughed. "From my prediction, Canterlot is only beyond that mountain." Donald said, pointed to a castle at the mountain. Once they arrived the city, Sora amazed all the colorful buildings, stores and landmarks that surrounded him. It was almost like all the kingdoms they have visited, only instead of his human friends, they were replaced with many uniquely colored ponies. He saw some of them looked arrogant, which made him thought that the city was for high social nobles. "You didn't tell me that this place is for high society." Sora said. "Aw, don't worry, Sora, not all these ponies are bad." Goofy confronted Sora. "Yeah! Don't let them bother you." Donald replied. Sora felt a little better his friends right beside him, but he also felt uncomfortable. At last, they have arrived at the castle gates. There are two guards stood right in front. The guard on the left was a grey unicorn with white mane and tail, amber eyes, wearing golden armor and helmet. The right was a white pegasus white blue mane and tail, blue eyes, wearing the same armor and helmet. "Why hello Moonshadow, Crimson Moon!" Goofy said. "Captain Goofy, Mr. Donald, you're back! Haven't seen you and King Mickey for years." Moonshadow smiled. "And who's this stallion?" Crimson Moon asked. "Oh, I'm Sora. I'm new here." Sora said sheepishly. "I see, new in the big city, huh?" Crimson Moon said. "We're here to see the princesses. Can we meet them?" Donald asked. "Of course, but you have to wait, because right now they're having a speech. You may wait at the throne room." Moonshadow replied. "Wait, so you're not showing us where it is?" Sora asked. "Don't worry, Sora. We've been here for quite some time, so we know where we need to go." Goofy said. Sora only replied 'oh' as they entered the castle and they walked to the throne room. Meanwhile, at the Grand Ballroom, Twilight was on the stage and almost finished her speech, she also company with Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, and Princess Cadence on her right. "... and I am sure you are all just as thrilled for this year ceremonies as myself and the citizen of Ponyville. Not only you will see our very own festivities, but it's also a chance to get know each other and make new friends from all of Equestria." The crowds cheered on Twilight's inspiring speech as she and the princesses walked down stairs. Then a unicorn guard whispered to Celestia's ear, she nod and turned to Twilight. "Twilight, do you have a moment? There are some guests that we need to see right now." Celestia said. When they've arrived at the throne room, the violet princess saw 3 guests. Twilight surprised to see a pegasus pony with a dog and a duck that have an odd body shape which made them look like human-like creatures like her friends from Canterlot High. "Ah, Donald and Goofy. It's wonderful to see you again." Princess Celestia said. "Your Highness." Donald and Goofy said together as they bowed before her. Sora wasn't sure what to do at first, but he followed with Donald and Goofy, which made Twilight giggled quietly. "And you must be Sora." "Y-Yes Your Majesty." Sora said nervously. "Oh, don't be afraid, young man. I'm not Maleficent, aren't I?" Celestia chuckled. "Oh, let me introduce you to my former pupil, Princess Twilight Sparkle." "Twilight Sparkle? What a beautiful name." Sora said. "Aw, thanks Sora" Twilight thanked Sora, blushing. "So why are you coming exactly?" "Well, it's a long story..." Sora said. "Too bad, we don't the time right now. We need to go to Ponyville in 15 minutes." Twilight said as she looked at the clock. "Ponyville?" Donald asked. "Yes. It's my home and we're having a Ponyville Days ceremonies." Twilight replied. "Really? Can we come too?" Sora asked hopefully. Twilight giggled. "Sure! The ceremony is for every creatures. So you're welcome to join us." "And you all can explain why you're here on the way." Celestia said as the five of them walked out the throne room.
