//------------------------------// // Episode One: Luster’s Arrival. // Story: Equestria Evolved // by LightningChaser04 //------------------------------// Once upon a time, in the magical land of Equestria, there lived two royal sisters who ruled Equestria. The eldest managed the day, while the youngest, the night. The younger sister, out of jealousy, became Nightmare Moon. She wanted to cause eternal night, but was stopped by the Elements of Harmony, and reformed into the princess. These 6 continued to fight villains and save Equestria. The element of Magic became a princess herself, and ruled Equestria, and has been ruling alongside her friends. Even now. “And they kept us safe, even now.” read Luster Dawn, who was Twilight’s sole pupil. And then her classmates Skyla, Sunny Rose and Ruby Dazzle approached her. “Hey Luster! We’re planning a picnic. Wanna join?” asked Skyla. “Oh, sorry girls. Princess Twilight told me to meet her this afternoon. But maybe, uh.. later?” *The Last Problem* “Blaze, we need to go. Princess Twilight said that I have to move to Fillydelphia to continue my studies.” said Luster to her little griffon friend. Blaze packed up his things and so did Luster. They both bid Twilight goodbye, and went to Fillydelphia using a hot-air balloon. My Little Pony, My Little pony.. Ah-ah-ah-aah! I used to dream only of studies Until y’all gave me new priorities You gave me: *you know the rest* And friendship made it all complete, yeah You know, you’re all my best friends.. The balloon landed safely, and a light blue pony with an orange mane helped the two get off. Luster paid him a few bits and went to look for the house the princess had given her. She reached Crystal Apartments, the apartment complex she would soon live in. She found the flat number 302 and went inside, to see it fully furnished. Luster and Blaze went to explore and unpack their belongings. After all that, they were nicely settled in for a while. Blaze decided to take a nap in his comfy bed, dreaming of moving into an ice cream house with Bella, a special griffon friend of his who still lived in Canterlot while Luster went to shop a bit. After the shopping spree, Luster came back home and openef her phone. She typed a text message with the help of Blaze’s claws. Messages: Princess Twilight Hey Princess Twilight. I reached Fillydelphia safely and have settled into my apartment. What to do next? Go visit your neighbours, maybe? Okay Princess. I’ll close the phone now. 👍😉 Good luck! Luster went to flat 301 and rang the doorbell. After a few seconds, a yellow unicorn with a curly purple mane opened the door. “Hi there! Welcome to Fillydelphia! I know that you’re new because I know literally everypony in the city, and everypony’s my friends! Oh, how rude of me. I forgot to introduce myself. I’m Gladys Cherry. What’s your name?” “I’m Luster Dawn. It’s, uh.. good to meet you.” “Nice name. *big gasp* I GOTTA GO BYE!!” Gladys quickly ran inside her house and shut the door. “Well, that was weird.. but why don’t we try 303?” suggested Blaze. “Um, ok..” said Luster and walked to 303. She rang the doorbell which was answered by a teal pegasus pony with a black mane with light blue streaks. “Hi there. You must be new. I’m Lightning Chaser. I’m sure you’ve heard of Microhoof, I’m the CEO there. But lucky for you, I’m not one of those snobs. The title of Snob goes to Ruby in 304. Who are you?” “Oh my goodness! It is so great to actually meet you!! I’m Luster Dawn.” “Heh. Cool name! Anyway, wanna hang out sometime?” “Um, no thanks. I’m on official duty by the Princess.” “You personally know Princess Twilight? Now it’s my turn to fangirl! Well, see ya later. Join me tomorrow at 3pm for a coding session together if you want. I can’t wait to hang out more!” Luster went back home. She was tired. And then.. she was surprised. There stood her two new friends, well, Lightning was flying. They both yelled “SURPRISE!!” Luster was shocked. “Hi there! Welcome back home! We figured we’d throw a party for ya!” said Glad and Lightning in unison. Luster was shocked, but Blaze was most surprised. He decided to par-tay with the others while Luster just checked a notification on her phone. Messages: Princess Twilight My dear Luster, you have to come meet me by the Victory Statue. In Fillydelphia. Ok Princess. I’ll be there. Ok Luster. And also, bring your new friends. —To be continued—
