[Narrator]


"Once upon a time in the magical land of Equestria, there were two regal sister who ruled together and brought harmony across the land."

"The eldest of the two raises the sun and brought about the day while the youngest raises the moon and brought about the night thus maintaining harmony and balance for their kingdom and subjects."

"As time passed the youngest sister started to feel jealous of her older sister as the ponies would relish and played in her sister sun while they slept during her beautiful night."

"One fateful day the youngest sister refused to lower the moon to make way for the sun. The eldest sister tried reasoning with her younger sister but the jealousy within the youngest sister heart had turned her into a wicked mare of darkness, Nightmare Moon."

"The youngest sister vowed to shroud the land internal darkness, reluctantly the eldest sister harnessed the most powerful magic known to pony kind the elements of harmony."

"Using the magic of the elements she defeated her youngest sister and banished her to the moon."

"After her sister defeat the eldest took on responsibility of raising both the sun and the moon and thus harmony in Equestria has been maintained in Equestria for generation since."

(Unknown P.O.V)

"Hmm elements of harmony I know I heard of those before but where?"



(Lillian P.O.V)

It's been three years since I came to Equestria and I have been enjoying my new life here at first the ponies in Ponyville were a bit hesitant of me, but over time they eventually gotten used to me.

Of course, Jeff the thing I called a life who became their own entity did keep to their word about finding new ways to screw with me. One day when I was just enjoying my day relaxing on an open field outside of Ponyville the manticore that I encountered came out the Everfree Forest just to look for me because it was still pissed off from our first encounter.

When I came running into town with the manticore chasing me, Rainbow and Applejack had to come and save me by running the manticore back into the Everfree Forest of course that was only the beginning of Jeff screwing with me like that.

After that day, I had some misfortune here and there by Jeff, but I was still able to enjoy my new life. When I found out the town had a library I decided to head there since I wanted to know about my new home and its history by reading all I could from whatever history books it had.

When I learned that this world day and night cycle were controlled by two beings known as alicorns I was shocked because I thought this world day and night cycle worked the same way like back home but then again the weather here is controlled by Pegasi.

After I learned all that I could I went to look for a Job of course the cakes did offer me to work with them especially after they saw how good I can bake more specifically some of the sweets that I would make from back home since they never heard of or seen any sweets like them.

After living at sugarcube corner for a while I decided to stay there which the cakes were kind of letting me stay in their home of course Pinkie was happy about that because we're roommates now she even threw a party to celebrate.

After everything that had happened to me I had really started enjoying my new life here in this new world I was brought to in this small town; although, lately I had been getting a strange feeling that I'm being watched but I just chopped it up to Jeff planning something to mess with me.

Today I was getting up early to try to help around the town since today was the start of the summer sun celebration at first when I heard about it I was confused until my friends explained to me what it was about and after that I offered to help as much as I can.

I get up from my bed yawning as I stretched. "[Groans] what day is it." Looks towards my calendar and sees what day it was. "Oh right almost forgot today's the summer sun celebration." I say as I looked towards my clock to see what time it was. "Huh seems like I got up early okay first thing first take a shower, eat breakfast then help out the others with the preparations."

________________________________________________


[1 hour later]


After I finished taking a shower and eating some breakfast, I headed out towards Applejack’s farm but as I was, Pinkie came out of sugarcube corner running after me. "Lillian wait for me."

"Huh oh hey good morning Pinkie." I say turning to Pinkie as she walks up next to me.

"Good morning Lillian, so where you heading off to."

"Oh I'm just heading over to Applejack's farm to help out with making the food for the festival what about you Pinkie." I asked as we walked.

"Oh you know the usual." She says with a giggle.

"Of course." I say with a smile while rolling my eyes. "Well see you Pinkie talk later." I wave Pinkie goodbye as I continue my way over to Applejack's farm.

"Bye Lillian talk to you later too." Pinkie says wave back to me.

________________________________________________

After a bit of walking I was able to make it to Applejack's farm and upon arriving there I spotted her and her two other siblings Apple Bloom and Big Macintosh, or Big Mac for short, bucking some Apple trees knocking down some Apples into the buckets they had placed underneath the trees.

"Hey Applejack I'm here." I called out to her as I entered her farm.

"Why howdy there Lillian ya came just n' time we were just about almost done bucking these Apples to use for the food we're goin' to serve at the festival." Applejack says walking over to me.

"Yeah thought I wake up early to try to help out as much as I can with the festival."

"Well that's mighty kind of you now why don't ya came inside and start helping us with making the food." Applejack says as she turns around and heads to her house with me following behind.

________________________________________________

While I helped Applejack make the food for the festival, some of her family members from different places of Equestria came not only help with the banquet but also for what Applejack told me was their Apple family reunion.

"Wow Applejack your family must be really big for you to have relatives all over Equestria?" I say surprised by the many relatives that Applejack had.

"Yup it sure is Lillian and Ah’m glad that they helped out with the banquet." She says with a smile

"[Chuckles] Yeah to be honest I didn't think we would've been able to do it with just the two of us." I say chuckling a bit rubbing the back of my head.

"Ah have to agree with there sugar cube anyways I have to go and continue bucking for more apples you think you can handle making the rest of the food by yourself?"

"Of course Applejack you can count on me."

"Thanks Lillian." With that, Applejack left to go buck some more Apples trees.

"No problem Applejack." I say as she left as I go back inside to continue making the rest of the food for the festival banquet.

________________________________________________

[1 hour later]

As I finished making the last of the food, I heard a bell ringing than heard Applejack yelling out. "Soup's on, everypony!" I looked out the window to see all the apples gathered in a circle as I hear Applejack talking to someone.

As I walked outside, I heard Applejack introducing her whole family to whomever she was talking to. "[Gasp] Big Macintosh, Apple Bloom. And...Granny Smith." I heard her say as I see the pony in question sleeping on her rocking chair as Applejack tries waking her up. "Up and at 'em, Granny Smith we got guests."

"[Snorts] What? Soups on? I'm, uh, I'm coming, I'm coming." Granny smith says walking over to the group as I chuckled a bit.

"Hey Applejack what's going on?" I ask with a smile as I walked over to the group.

"Huh oh howdy Lillian, ya finished with the rest of the food."

"Yeah sure am but what's going on here?"

"Oh Ah’m just introducing the family to Twilight Sparkle here." She says pointing to a lavender unicorn pony with a dark blue mane and tail with a purple and pink streak going through them as she had a mouth full of food in her mouth as she stares at me with a surprise and curious look on her face.

Twilight then spits out whatever food she had in her mouth and asked. "Applejack who's that? And what are they?" she asks as pointing a hoof at me.

"Oh this here is Lillian and she may not be family but she sure is as close as family and if ah remember right I believe she said she was called a Mobian."

"Yeah you're right there Applejack." I say as I than remember something. "Oh crap I forgot I gotta go help Rarity sorry Applejack I gotta go."

"Ah understand sugar cube I'll see you tonight at the festival."

"Thanks Applejack and same here." I say as I waved goodbye heading to the town hall to help rarity with the decorations.

________________________________________________

(Twilight P.O.V)

As I watched the Mobian known as Lillian run off, I turned to Applejack. "Well it looks like the food here is all covered so we'll be on our way." I say as the filly known as Apple Bloom walked up to me and asked.

"Aren't you gonna stay for brunch?" She says giving me a sad look.

"Sorry but we have an awful lot to do." I say as I than heard the ponies around me and Spike give a "Aww."

I hung my head at this and said. "Fine." As I agreed to stay for brunch, the ponies all cheered.

________________________________________________

After Spike and I stayed for brunch with the Apple family, we left the farm as Spike checked the list. "Food's taken care of next is weather." He says as I groaned at how full I was.

"I ate too much pie." I say walking behind Spike.

"Hmm there's supposed to be a Pegasus pony named Rainbow Dash clearing the clouds." Spike says as he looked up at the sky trying to look for the pony.

I looked up to see if I could spot the pony in question only to see nothing but clouds. "Well, she's not doing a very good job, is she?" I say looking back at Spike but then I heard someone yell out.

"Watch out." Before I knew it, I was tackled to the floor when I looked up I saw that it was that Mobian from the Apple farm.

"Sorry about that you okay." She asks getting off me.

"Yeah I'm okay but what was that for?" I asks before noticing I was covered in mud.

"Again sorry but my friend over there." She says pointing to a rainbow maned Pegasus. "Was about to crash into you and seeing how you didn't notice her I had to push you out of the way."

"Well I appreciate the help but now I'm all covered in mud." I say before sighing. "I guess I can clean myself up at the library I'm staying at."

Lillian if I remember correctly walked over to her friend and said. "Rainbow how many times do I have to tell you to give someone a warning if you’re about to crash after a failed stunt?"

The pony that I now know is Rainbow Dash chuckles as she looked up at Lillian. "Sorry about that Lillian."

"So you must be Rainbow Dash." I ask as I walked up to the two.

"The one and only." She says proudly as she flies up in the air before getting up and close to me. "Why? You heard of me?"

"I heard you're supposed to be keeping the sky clear." I say before sighing. "I'm Twilight Sparkle, and the princess sent me to check on the weather."

"Yeah, yeah that'll be a snap I'll do it in a jiffy just as soon as I'm done practicing." Rainbow dash says as she lays on a cloud.

"Practicing? For what?"

"For the Wonderbolts no doubt." Lillian says looking up at her friend.

"You know it they're supposed to be performing at the celebration tomorrow and I'm going to show them my stuff."

"The Wonderbolts?"

"Yup."

"The most talented flyers of all of Equestria."

"That's them."

"Pff please they'll never accept a Pegasus who can't even keep the sky clear for one measly day."

"She has a point Rainbow how are you ever going to join the Wonderbolts if you just slack off all the time." Lillian says with a smug look on her face.

"Hey I can clear the sky in ten seconds flat."

"Prove it." Both Lillian and I say challenging the mare.

Rainbow Dash gives a slight glare before flying off her cloud as she goes clears the sky of all the clouds and to my surprise, she cleared the sky really fast as she lands. "What I say ten seconds flat I never leave Ponyville hanging." She says as I stood there my jaw hung open.

"[Laughs] you should see the look on your face. You're a laugh Twilight Sparkle I can't wait to hang out some more." She says as she turns around to fly somewhere else but only to be stopped by Lillian.

"Hey Rainbow hold on can you do me a favor real quick."

"Yeah sure what is it Lillian."

"Well I'm sure you noticed how muddy Twilight is right now right." She says as rainbow looked at me before knowing what Lillian wanted.

"Say no more, I got you covered." She says as she flew off somewhere before coming back with a rain cloud placing it above me as she than starts bouncing on it making it rain all over me getting me all wet.

"I think that was a bit too much there Rainbow." Lillian stated as Rainbow Dash looked to see I was all soaking wet

"Oops sorry, here let me fix that with my patented rainblow dry." She says as she starts flying around me like a tornado until I was fully dried off and when she stopped, Spike, Lillian and her looked at me before trying to stifle their laughs only for them explode out laughing.

When I looked at my mane I groan as I started walking off towards my next destination as Spike stopped laughing noticing me leaving as he ran after me. "Spike, where to next."

He looks at the list before saying. "We’re supposed to be heading to the town hall for the next preparation." He says as I head towards the town hall.

________________________________________________

Once Spike and I make it to the town hall we entered the building as Spike looked at the list. "The next thing on the list decorations." He says looking up at all the decorations. "Beautiful."

"Yes the décor is coming along nicely, this oughta be quick I'll be at the library in no time." I say looking at the decorations. "Beautiful indeed."

"Not the décor, her." Spike says pointing to a white unicorn mare as she was pulling out different kinds of ribbons out of a box.

"No, no, no oh goodness no." I looked to Spike to see Spike give that look of someone who is in love.

"How are my spines are they straight." I just rolled my eyes at this and turned back to the unicorn and to my surprise Lillian was here too.

"Rarity I know you want everything to be perfect especially since royalty is coming but when looking for the right ribbon for the décor can you at least put the other ribbons back instead of leaving them on the floor." She says holding another box of ribbons as she was setting up the decorations as well.

"I'm terribly sorry darling but like you said royalty is coming over for the celebration so everything has to be perfect; however, you do make a point about me leaving the ribbons lying around I'll pick them up after I looked for the perfect ribbon."

I shake my head as I walked up the unicorn that I now know is Rarity. "Good afternoon."

"Just a moment I'm in the zone as it were." Rarity says as she was looking through each ribbon until she found the one she wanted. "Oh yes Sparkle always does the trick does it not. Why Rarity you are a talent now um how may I help you aah-ha-ha! Oh my stars darling whatever happened to your coiffure?"

"Huh oh that I pushed her out of the way so she wouldn't be Rainbow Dash's cushion when she came crashing down after a failed stunt and then she got mud all over her and so I had Rainbow clean her off and I'm sure you can guess the rest." Lillian says turning to face us.

"Yeah well I'm just here to check on the decorations and then I'll be out of y’all hair."

"Out of our hair, what about your hair?" Rarity says as she gets behind me before shoving me out the building taking me somewhere only to stop and turn to Lillian. "Lillian darling you wouldn't mind finishing up the rest of the decorations would you."

"Of course I don't mind at all Rarity you do what you have to do." She says as she turns back to decorating the town hall while Rarity went back to pushing me out the building.

"Wait where are we going help!"

________________________________________________

(Lillian P.O.V)

After Rarity left with the pony known as Twilight taking her to where I have no doubt would be her home I turned my attention back to the box of ribbons I had as I continue to decorate the town hall. As I decorated the town hall, Pinkie came barging into the building. "Oh Lillian there you are do you know where Rarity is?"

"You just missed her Pinkie she left with some pony named Twilight with a small lizard why do you ask?"

"Well first that's not a lizard silly that's a dragon and second I wasn't just looking for Rarity I was looking for you too."

"Wait that was a dragon I didn't think they actually existed than again I shouldn't really be surprised from what I seen anyways why were you looking for us?"

"To invite you to that new pony's surprise party!" Pinkie says with a smile as I smiled back rolling my eyes.

"Of course should've known I'll be there I'm pretty sure I know where it's going to be at."

"Really where?"

"The library of course she said that she's staying there."

"Ooh good guess alright see you there." Pinkie says bouncing away towards Rarity home as I went back to decorating.

"Hmm I'm surprised that Jeff still hasn't done anything to screw with me or try anything to mess up the festival today." I say to myself only for a note to appear making me frown as I read it.

"Be careful for what you wish for because you'll never knew who's listening." I groaned as I threw the note away as I continue decorating.

________________________________________________

After I finished decorating the town hall, I went over to the library and once I get there I knocked on the door and as soon as I did, the door opened to reveal that it was Pinkie who opened it. "Oh Lillian you made it hurry come inside before Twilight comes." She says as she pulls me inside the library.

"Wow." As Pinkie pulled me into the library I saw that everyone was here even Rainbow, Applejack and Rarity I guess she finished helping with Twilight’s mane; however, I noticed that Fluttershy was not here. "Hey Pinkie where's Fluttershy I would've thought you would invite her too?"

"Oh I did invite her but she's just busy with the music for the festival."

"Oh okay I guess that makes sense." Just then, I heard Rainbow call out.

"They're here places everypony." As soon as she says that, everyone got ready as Pinkie turned the lights off.

The door opens as Fluttershy comes in holding the dragon from before. "Poor thing we must get him to bed." Just then Twilight comes in taking the dragon before shoving Fluttershy out the house saying.

"Yes, yes we'll get right on that well goodnight." She says before slamming the door.

"Wow that was rude." I thought to myself before hearing the dragon say.

"Huh, rude much?"

"My thoughts exactly." I whispered to myself.

"Sorry, Spike, but I have to convince the princess that Nightmare Moon is coming, and we're running out of time." After hearing that I mentally facepalmed.

"Fuck please don't tell me what I heard her say is what I heard her say if so please don't let it be true because I read the story about that Nightmare." I thought to myself.

"We just need to be alone so I can study without a bunch of crazy ponies trying to make friends all the time now, where's the lights?" Just as she said that Pinkie turned the lights on as everypony yelled out.

"SURPRISE."

After we all yelled out surprise Twilight groans a bit as Pinkie went up to her and said. "Surprise! Hi I'm Pinkie Pie and I threw this party just for you. Were you surprised? Were you, were you? Huh, huh, huh?" Pinkie ask bouncing around Twilight.

"Very surprised. Libraries are supposed be quiet?" Twilight says a bit annoyed.

"[Chuckles] that's silly what kind of welcome party would this be if it were quiet? I mean, duh! Boring! You see I saw you when you first got here remember you were like hello and I was all like [gasp] remember." Pinkie asks as she was talking to Twilight about how they meet and why she threw the party for her.

As twilight walked up to the food table I noticed Fluttershy coming back into the library finally joining the party as I turned my attention back to Twilight and Pinkie I noticed that Twilight was pouring herself a cup of hot sauce and seeing this I couldn't help but hold back a laugh.

"[Stifles a laugh] hey Twilight you do know that's hot sauce you're drinking right." As soon as I said that, her face started to turn red before she ran upstairs to more likely drink some water while I just burst out laughing at how she didn't notice she was drinking hot sauce.

While I was laughing the others looked at me confused. "Hey Lillian why are you laughing?" Rainbow asks.

"Haha none of you couldn't tell that the drink Twilight was drinking was hot sauce." I say in between laughs while pointing to Twilight's cup when they looked at it they started laughing too.

________________________________________________

[Ponyville Night Time]

As it became the middle of the night everypony in the library were still parting all except for Twilight since she still has not come back down from the whole hot sauce incident so wanting to see if she was okay, I headed upstairs to check on her.

As I neared the door to the room she was in, I heard her talking to who I am guessing was the dragon named Spike. "All the ponies in this town are crazy!"

"What about that strange bird girl Lillian?"

"First off Spike, Applejack said she called herself a Mobian even though I don't know what that is and secondly I guess she's okay seeing how she's the only one who hasn't tried making friends with me and lastly do you know what time it is?"

"It's the eve of the summer sun celebration. Everypony has to stay up, or they'll miss the princess raise the sun." I than hear spike heading towards the door before saying. "You really should lighten up, Twilight."

Once Spike opened the door, he sees me standing in front of the door. "Oh hey um Lillian right?" He asks as I nod. "I'm guessing you heard all that?"

"Pretty much but I agree with you, that pony should lighten up a bit." I say with a smile before entering the room as he went back downstairs.

As I entered the room Twilight looked down from the bed she was on to see me enter the room. "Oh it's you, the Mobian I been seeing around town."

"Really that's how she's going to address me after coming into the room." I thought to myself.

"So what brings you here?" Asks Twilight.

"Well I came to check on you to see if you were alright you know after that whole you drinking hot sauce incident." I say with a sly smirk.

"Ugh! Don't remind me." Twilight says as she lays back down before saying. "This whole day has been a waste of time I was planning to come to the library after I checked on the preparations for the summer sun celebration so I can find a way to stop or prevent Nightmare Moon return by learning all I can about the elements."

"So that's what this has been all about huh you wanted to prevent an evil tyrant who shrouded the whole world in eternal darkness from returning or try to find a way to defeat her using the elements of harmony?"

"Wait you know about Nightmare Moon and the elements of harmony?" Asks Twilight as she gets off her bed running up to me.

"Well yeah I basically read every book in this library learning everything about Equestria and its history I just so happen to come across a book talking about Nightmare Moon and the elements of harmony one day while reading the books here." I say, as Twilight looked surprised before smiling.

"Then you must know more about Nightmare Moon and the elements of harmony?"

"If I remember correctly legend has it that on the longest day of the 1,000th year, the stars will aid in her escape, and that she'll bring about another everlasting darkness."

"Yes exactly I even tried warning the princess but she wouldn't listen she just said that it was just an old pony tale." She says before sighing. "Even though I know that Nightmare Moon will return I'm also hoping that the Princess was right and that it really is nothing but an old pony tale."

"Well if it is than we really have nothing to worry about but if Nightmare Moon does end up returning you'll at least have one friend who believes you." I say winking at her.

"Wait you actually believe me?" Twilight asks surprised that someone believes her.

"Yeah where I'm from some myths and legends are true not to mention we never heard or seen talking ponies or dragons where I lived so yeah I believe you." I say before thinking to myself. "Although I do hope that it really is just a fairy tale or as the ponies call it pony tale." Just than Spike came into the room.

"Hey Twilight, Lillian come on you two, it's time to watch the sun rise."

________________________________________________

(Ponyville Town Hall)

As I entered the Town hall with Twilight, I spotted Pinkie and the others chatting before Pinkie turned her head and spotted me enter the building with Twilight as she then ran up to us. "There you are Lillian where were you, you were about to miss your first summer sun celebration silly."

"Sorry about that Pinkie but I went to check if Twilight was okay after well you know the hot sauce."

"[Giggles] of course I know silly I was there." Pinkie says giggling a bit before saying. "Anyways isn't this exciting? Are you excited? 'Cause I'm excited I've never been so excited."

"What about at Twilight's welcome party?" I asked

"Well except for that and the time I saw her walk into town I mean really who can top that?"

I chuckled a bit at what Pinkie said. "Well Pinkie you might never know." Just then, Fluttershy’s birds starts singing as Mayor Mare walks on stage.

"Fillies and gentlecolts." The mayor then spots me. "Oh and Mobian, as mayor of Ponyville, it is my great pleasure to announce the beginning of the summer sun celebration." Everyone soon started cheering after she said that.

"In just a few moments, our town will witness the magic of the sunrise and celebrate this, the longest day of the year. And now, it is my great honor to introduce to you the ruler of our land, the very pony who gives us the sun and the moon each and every day, the good, the wise, the bringer of harmony to all of Equestria..."

Fluttershy turns to her birds. "Ready?" Her birds nodded.

"...Princess Celestia!" Fluttershy's birds starts singing as Rarity opens the curtains only to reveal no one behind it.

"Huh?"

"That isn't good Jeff this better not be your doing." I say as a note appears before me.

"Maybe." I just groaned at this before hearing the mayor trying to calm everyone.

"Remain calm, everypony. There must be a reasonable explanation." She says before hearing Pinkie saying.

"Ooh, ooh! I love guessing games. Is she hiding?" Pinkie says looking up and then as Rarity came into the spotlight.

"She's gone!" She says making everyone in the building gasps well except for Pinkie.

"Ooh, she's good."

"Really Pinkie, your Princess is gone and you think this is some kind of game oh what am I saying this is you for crying out loud." I say before sighing.

Just then, a cloud of black smoke appeared on the balcony making Pinkie yelp. "Aah!" When everyone looked up, they saw the black smoke making them all gasps.

When it cleared a huge black coated pony with a horn and wing wearing a blue helmet and chest plate armor with a crescent moon on it as her mane and tale was like a night sky with stars as it blew in a none existent wind.

"Nightmare Moon." Both Twilight and I say looking at the pony on the balcony just then I heard Spike faint as he falls to the ground making me roll my eyes at this.

"Drama queen." I say to myself as I kept my eyes on Nightmare Moon.

"Oh, my beloved subjects. It's been so long since I've seen your precious little sun loving faces." Nightmare Moon says looking at the before I heard Rainbow say.

"What did you do with our princess?" She shouts at her before trying to charge at Nightmare Moon only to be stopped by Applejack.

"Slow down, nelly."

"[Laughs evilly] why? Am I not royal enough for you?" Nightmare moon says before glaring. "Don’t you know who I am?"

"Ooh, ooh! More guessing games." Pinkie says excited as she starts guessing names. "Um, hokey smokes. How about queen meanie? No. Black snooty, black snooty! [Muffled speaking]." Just as Pinkie was guessing for more names her mouth was muffled by Applejack who shoved food into her mouth.

"Does my crown no longer count now that I have been imprisoned for 1,000 years?" Nightmare Moon says flying up to Fluttershy with a glare still on her face. "Did you not recall the legend?" She says flying over to Rarity lifting her chin up with her mane. "Did you not see the signs?"

"We did, and we know who you are." Twilight says as she walks up right beside me. "You’re the Mare in the moon, Nightmare Moon." Twilight says as everypony gasps.

"Well, well, well. There seems to be two amongst you who remembers me." Nightmare Moon says before she gets a closer look at me. "And one of them seems to be a creature I never seen before." She says before adding. "Then that must mean you two also know why I'm here."

"You're here to... to..." Twilight starts saying before getting nervous.

"You're here to bring about eternal darkness for all of Equestria like you did 1,000 years ago before you got banished to the moon by your sister." I say making Nightmare Moon flinch at that last part before recovering as she says.

"Right you are bird creature." She says before laughing evilly. "Remember this day, little ponies and bird creature, for it was your last. From this moment forth, the night will last forever!" She says before she starts laughing evilly again as everyone looked at Nightmare Moon afraid.



To be continued
