<Somewhere in the mountains near Canterlot>
The Crimson swung open, as did the other ponies that had been blinded by that mysterious flash of light that lit up the mute of the night over the Canterlot.
"What was that?" Twilight asked, stunned, feeling her name repeat over and over. Midnight. She couldn't understand why, couldn't understand why, that name came to her mind.
"I don't know, but we'd better check it out. The flare happened there. So we can make it." he pointed with his hoof, but felt a headache, and all he could think of was it was a spear? Spear. That's all he kept repeating in his mind.
As soon as they reached the flare site, they saw little Alicorn. He had purple fur, gray eyes, and a mane in shades of black, gold, and yellow only aroused curiosity. He was holding a spear, and there was a dragon beside him. What was by no means small, he was quite large, and with his body and wings he carefully protected the scared little alicorne.
"This dragon is immune to magic." Said Brisk Meadow, who was summoned from Ponyville. Interrupting my visit to Fluttershy to meet the animals and beasts of Equestria.
"How immune to magic?" Twilight asked, surprised, and added.
"This is the first time I heard of a dragon that is immune to this?"
“After all, it is a black star dragon. The princess sees on its wings these intricate patterns of light and stars, and intricate glowing and fading patterns that resemble galaxies engulfed by the eternal darkness of space." he said hesitantly, swallowing in fear.
"Yes, but inferring from your behavior, I see that you are telling me something that you are not telling me? Crimson, you have a lot of magical creatures and you can explain that to me. she said, angry why I couldn't get close to that pony and dragon.
"Because in addition to magic resistance, this dragon can start to control us or cause nightmares. And his breath is comparable to the energy of the sun. "Is he stronger than all of us together?"
"Yes, knowing that dragon wings are an indicator of age. It is an extremely strong individual that hatches somewhere in the center of the galaxy. Because the brighter the wings of these dragons, the older and stronger they are." but something called Twilght to little Alicorn. although she knew what could happen to her, she came out of hiding and walked over to them.
“Relax, we won't hurt you. We just wanted to see what flashed so strongly." it was coming very slowly and as soon as Alicorn heard the voice. He ran over to her happily and cuddled up to her.
"Mom, it's you, it's really you" he said, hugging her tightly, leaving the spear beside the dragon.
Everyone, especially Twilight, was surprised. Mom said to her. But she never had children of her own. At least now. As soon as he saw Crimson walk up to Twilight and ask,
"How did you get in here, kid?" It was his eyes that shone like a sky full of sparks. Then he hugged them both, tears in his eyes.
“It's you, it's really you. I've finally found you,” he said, hugging them with tears in his eyes and full of joy.
This situation was very strange for everyone, but they both looked at each other and decided to take the little one with them. So to find out and why he is telling them.
<Canterlot Palace>
Twilight and Crimson were sitting with Midnight in front of them. They looked at him curiously because he looked like them. He was not like them in appearance, but in demeanor and character.
"Mom, what is this place? Where are we? What is this country? And who… ” Twilight cut him off, irritated when they started asking her all the way. Crimson only smiled at Twilight because he saw that Twilight was in him. And Twilight began to smile happily too, realizing that she was acting herself sometimes too.
"So we're in Equestria. And this is Canterlosia. So how did you get here, honey?" Twilight said, and Midnight walked over to her in surprise.
"First I heard about Equestria? But mom, you never told me about this country. Moreover, we were never there!" said Midnight who was very surprised by this place. This intrigued Crimson, so he decided to bring up the map to show a map of Equestria and other lands.
“Midnight, we are here. In Canterlia, the capital of Equestria. This is our Empire, and this is Tampe Neigh. he pointed with my hooves at the map. Midnight stared at the map. “But why is the kingdom of Tampe Neigh written here? And not the Tampe Neigh Empire? "
"Empire? Can you elaborate on it? "Dad, you don't remember how you made our Empire." Crimson and Twilight joined each other in surprise. Once they felt Midnight start to get nervous.
"Midnight, tell us you know it's okay to tell us this story." Twilight said, sitting down next to him to cheer him up. Crimson did the same, and then Midnight summoned the book. Then he asked sweetly and politely:
"I can read it because you have always forbidden a to read this book. But you read my books together. Always every story was beautiful. So we will read it together?" Crimson and Twilight looked at each other with such loving eyes and at him. They were sure it was really their son.
"Yes, we will read it to you. Because always reading together everything is more beautiful." Crimson said as they start read together. Crimson and Twilight took turns reading their storys, which was full of mixed emotions but mostly sadness. Even though Twilight and Midnight were already asleep. Crimson knew Midnight had come here for a specific purpose. But he didn't know how the future would change, for better or worse. But he knew that even books from the future did not reveal the whole truth. And he starting asleep.
"MOM! DAD! IT IS MORNING! IT IS NOT TIME TO SLEEP!" Midnight shouted happy. Crimson and Twilight woke to hearing this and rubbed their eyes in amazement as he bounced happily in front of them.
"Mom, Dad, will I make you braekfast tonight?" he asked, sending a curious glance at them.
"Midnight, honey, how often do you wake us up like that?" Twilight asked sleepily.
"Midnight, how long will you wake us up like this?" asked Crimson who was angry with him.
"I always wake you up in a different way. But not on your wedding anniversary because I always give your a surprise so
that I can sleep all day." he said, sending a smile to them.
" But why should We make breakfast?" Crimson asked.
"Well, you could have asked to do this to you? Nobody wanted to do to you?" Twilight asked, who was still lying on the couch on which they had fallen asleep.
"But I don't know anyone here. Besides, I left a piece of paper on which I wrote so that nobody would disturb us today. This ... we will go to the amusement park together? Today? Or somewhere else?" he asked, sending a pleading look at them.
"We will think about it." said Crimson and Midnight smiled happily and ran out of the room.
"We will think about it?" Twilight said, nervous at what he said.
"Well, you can't plan your whole life. But we won't be bothering you right now. Laws, baby." he said as Twilight just smiled and rolled her eyes.
"True, and for that I love you. Now come take us to some extraordinary place." she said kissing her fiancé.
"Yuck. But that's gross." they heard with the door.
"Midnight don't look because we're not going anywhere."
"Yes Dad. I'm sorry." he said, surprised by this. But then General Dark Granit suddenly burst in.
"The Emperor, the Equestrian Liberation Front, and this silly cult sparked a mutiny in Manehattan." reporting to him.
"Good, good, I'm not shocked by this. Our police got them like mad dogs. So they want to convince the people of Manehattan and Equestria to be fight for them."
"So what are we to order? My soldiers are waiting for the order to suppress the rebellion." Crimson wondered what to say when Midnight hit him. Saying something in his ear.
"I know what I'll do. Convene to me our officials, they must write me something. And you, General, and pass it on to other governors, administrators, mayors and other officials in Equestria." By giving a piece of paper with dicttives and regulations.
"My patience has long been exhausted , I will show them. I will show what fear and terror mean through actions. Genrale, you will give them my ultimatum." he said full of bitterness and anger.
"And how will they refuse?" he asked without showing any emotion.
"Then, raze the city to the ground. And kill all resistance supporters like criminals."
"Yes. Your will is my will." he said bowing as he left the room.
"Crimson, calm down a bit. Wouldn't it be better to arrest the leaders of the rebellions than their followers?" she asked concerned about the fate of the given Twilight. Then Crimson turned to her and asked in a voice of concern and uncertainty.
"Then I would have to arrest Starlight, Trixie, your friends, your family, the princesses and other families. But you would not let me." Twilight was shocked by what he said, and after she got evidence of the conspiracy from him. She cried out of sadness. As soon as he pushed through the next pages describing how they were intended to convince her to leaving Crimson and help fight against him. Crying, she ran across the corridor. Screaming in your mind: This can't be true.
"Dad, are you not following your mother to cheer her up?"
"Not my dear. We can only face our demons alone. But you Midnight tell me the truth. But the honest truth, why were you lying?"
"But when?"
"When I asked yesterday how do we look after you?" then Midnight looked down at the floor and his tears began to fall.
"When I asked yesterday how do we look after you?" then Midnight looked down at the floor and his tears began to fall.
"Because you and mom were dead. The government itself, and I am surrounded by ponies who want my power and influence. I never knew you ... and I don't know what to do anymore. So ... I had a dream that he could change the past to ... to be together with you. I wanted a real family. And I will do anything to be with ... "then Crimson hugged him tightly and tenderly. He too will start to cry.
"Midnight I don't know what I'm going to become, but we'll always be with you. Loneliness is just an inconvenience. Nothing else. But then the best rulers knew when their time was coming." he said.
"And no matter what I will become, you will always be our beloved son." Twilight said with tears as she hugged them together.
"Thanks. But what ..." Midnight felt his memory change. Suddenly all the sad memories disappeared and only the happy ones appeared and they started shining.
"Midnight get everything good? What's going on!" Crimson and Twilight asked, both frightened.
"I don't know, but I know it's the happiest day he has met me. And I hope we can repeat it." he said, disappearing and leaving hundreds of tiny lights. Crimson and Twilight huddled together and cried as if they were losing each other. But one of the servants who only saw part of the job spread a rumor that Crimson and Twilight had lost their son. Most interestingly, the news of this spread to Manehattan itself. Starlight and the others immediately went to Twilight to cheer her up. Crowds came to the castle and everyone, no matter who he was, left things symbolizing solidarity with them. Toys, candles, letters of sincere consolation, flowers. It was just a tiny fraction of the things they left behind. And when the friends, family and princesses heard about it, they arrived as soon as possible. Crimson's parent, and later Twilight's parent, together they found that they were still crying. They did not ask and gave them words of encouragement. Same as another. But no one was seeing the truth of why they cried because they didn't answer anyone questions, and no one wanted to ask them.
Even though it had been a few days since this incident, Crimson and Twilight still thought I was Midnight in the future. Suddenly, Midnight himself appeared in their room where they stayed all day.
"Midnight. My honey." Twilight was lunging at him and she hugged him happily.
"Mom will stop. I'm too old to cuddle." Crimson joined in and replied.
"You are never too old to cuddle with your parents. So, how is the future?"
"I can't say that, but I'm sure I'll do great things. It means I've done it because we'll do it together. But I can't be here too long. I have to come back because I'll be punished again for playing with magic. Seeing in the future." and vanish as suddenly as it appeared.
"What do you think, Crimson, what did he mean?"
"I don't know, but I'm sure one of his dreams has come true." and then they kissed and started making love.
"My Empress, a visitor has just arrived for you ... Sorry." he said, ashamed to open the door. When he saw them in this situation, and worse for them. And friends Twilight and Spike saw them. Rarity was not surprised about it because she was a man himself. And from the moment she could live in a beautiful castle and had a loving husband. But what Crimson said surprised even her.
"What again? Don't you see we're busy ... Hi girls." Crimson said. And Twilight put the pillow over her face in shame.
"Good, we'll talk later. Now goodbye." Crimson said, closing the door to the room.
"Crimson can you continue?" said Twilight, but she smiled happily to have such a lovable pony.
"The guests can wait a few more moments. After all, the happy do not count time."
What happened to Midnight? And with its pinch of transformation, the past is a completely different story.
