Miss.Stella...you have won!!" The judge pony annouced as the audience cheered as loud as they could with happiness. The other contestians bowed their heads in defeat as 'Stella' leapt for joy. The judges handed her 1,000 bits and a free vacation. The news reporter snapped a picture of 'Stella' as he smiled approvingly. After the gameshow 'Stella' sighed unhappily as she gazed dreamily out of the limo window. Little did any of the gameshow hosts that she was THE daughter of Princess Trixie and Prince Blueblood and her real name was Princess Lily the changling princess.
Lily was a wonderful princess and all of Equestria knew and loved her dearly. Nopony knew she was a changling except her loving and understanding parents and her students. Lily was also a school teacher who cared about her students as if they were all her childern, Lily joined the gameshows as a earth pony named 'Stella' when she was really an alicorn. Lily hated having to decieve everypony but unforunately the paparazzi could never get enough of Lily. Why would they chase her like that? Lily questioned herself as she gazed puzzled at herself in the mirror. Her magnifiecent sky blue eyes were still the same. Her long beautiful, multi-colered mane had the same blue, yellow, and crisp orange colors, Same. Her tail and snow-white coat were the same, even her wings and horn were the same. Lily shook her head as everything was the same as she gazed down sadly at her cutie mark, it was a bright, pink heart with angel wings on the heart as if it would just fly off her flank.
"Lily, honey are you okay?" Lily's mother, Trixie called kindly as Lily called back,
"Yes, Mother!" Lily called back, her lungs burned from having to scream so loud just so her mother would hear her. The Cantorlot castle was GIGANTIC as everypony had to holler so it could echo off of the walls. Lily trotted swiftly back into her room as she collapsed on her velvet-purple bed in a heap of excaustion. As Lily was drifting off to sleep, something caught her eye. It was that free vacation paper as Lily eagerly tore open the envelope with her magic horn. Lily began reading the paper as excitement glistened in her eyes. When she finally read where she was going she screamed with delight that quickly echoed in the Castle, almost making Trixie losing her balance and stumble into a chair. Lily grinned with joy as she started to pack, snatching gowns and make-up and stuffing them into her suitcase cheerfully. Lily galloped speeding back and forth in her room, cheering joyful things as she went.
"Lily Lulamoon! What is this?!" Trixie stood in her daughter's doorway with a look of disapproval and anger. Trixie was growing old as she could see gray forming in her mane. Blueblood was the same but right now he was in baltimare making speeches and other buisness.
"Oh mother, read this!" Lily handed her the paper as Trixie scanned over it puzzled. Trixie gasped shocked as Lily smiled proudly.
"It is going to be wonderful!!" Lily squealed cheerfully as Trixie frowned concerned.
"L-lily, honey, are you sure you want to go? What about your students?"
"Oh Aunt Cadence or Auntie Twilight could take care of them" Lily exclaimed happily as Trixie recalled her still, very best friend as she thought about the last week she saw Twilight. Trixie sighed as she replied almost silently,
"I-I just don't want you to get hurt" Trixie bowed her face in defeat as Lily frowned and trotted over to her worried mother.
"Its okay, mom it will only be a couple of days" Lily reassured her as she nuzzled her mother in pure affection and love. Trixie sighed once again and replied reluctantly,
"I guess you can go...YAY!!!" Lily hollered in happiness once again as her mother shook her head in amusement.
"Oh i am going to shopping, and try new foods, and let's not forget attractions!!" Lily exclaimed, frantic with delight. Lily hollered happily,
"Appleloosa here I come!!"
"Hiya, Braeburn!" Josie greeted him cheerfully as Braeburn smiled weakly. Josie obviously knew what was going on as she gave him a look. Braeburn rolled his eyes in amusement as he started to confess to her. Josie was Braeburn's best friend and like any cowpony she was a tough earth pony, but her heart was made of gold. The two ponies met when they were foals as they both became instantly best friends. Josie was a yellow earth pony with a dirt-colored mane which she always kept in pigtails.
"Well, Josie you know how you are going to the western summer celebration with your special somepony, Firecracker?" Braeburn asked as Josie nodded silently listening to him with concern in her bright green eyes.
"W-well i was thinking and...I want a special somepony too" Braeburn explined finally, blushing like mad as Josie blinked not knowing what to say as she just burst into laughter.
"Oh you got me good, Braeburn!" Josie wiped a tear from her eye as Braburn sheepishly replied,
"I-I am serious..." Josie blinked once again astonished as she managed to squeak out,
"Y-your serious?" Braeburn nodded as Josie sighed.
"Braeburn, you don't need a special somepony, besides what will happen to my wild and go-lucky bff?" Josie exclaimed in amusement.
"I will still be the same, Josie, i just want a mare i can be in love with, i would love one to have beautiful eyes" Braeburn smiled dreamily. Josie rolled her eyes as she replied sternly,
"Braeburn, it is not like they're is going to be a mare that will fall out of the sky!!" Just then, one pony burst through the tavern doors in a panic.
"There is a mare here, and it looked like she fell from the sky!" Braeburn gave a smug grin to Josie as he exclaimed in amusement,
"A mare won't fall out of the sky?"
"It was an exaggeration!!" Josie countered firmly as the two ponies trotted quickly out, little did they know the surprise and shock they would both have when they saw who it was.
