							Ponyville: May 6-7 :Fifteen Years After Coronation

It was a normal day in Ponyville, Rainbow Dash was controlling the weather, Pinkie was still making goods, Fluttershy tended to the animals, Rarity was out of the sewing business, and Applejack was picking apples. Twilight was at the library, not really caring about being a princess. She STILL wasn't ready for it. Spike did not look older at all! Must be the whole greed thing. Anyways, it was normal. Nothing happened. No big adventure. No big swarm eating Ponyville. No chaos. No changelings. Normal. Just normal. 
On the next day though, at the library, Twilight heard a nice little knock at the door. Nice? Who am I kidding?! It was loud! It woke Twilight and Spike both up. Twilight opened the door. There was a little lonely box sitting there. Twilight picked it up and went inside. When she put it down, she did what any pony would do. She opened it. In it was a little dark grey cube with a button on the side. A camera-lens type thing was coming out the top. Kinda like a camera, but smaller. Twilight pressed the button and some kind of gas came out. It knocked Twilight and Spike both out, and the windows were open so, all of Ponyville was asleep. Go figure. 
Applejack was the only pony not knocked out by the cube thing. The small cube had enough gas to knock out the entire kingdom of Canterlot! Applejack's lucky, only lucky because she had her face stuck in the dirt just because Applebloom, Sweetiebelle, and Scootaloo, were trying to get their cutiemarks in.... Pony jumping. Where did they get that idea? Anyways, Applejack was okay, and the air cleared quickly. 
When she got her head out of the ground, she saw that every pony was out, but not every pony. She saw three stallions wearing dark metal-like armor with belts of grenades latched onto them. They hid their faces under gas masks. They were followed by eighty other stallions with the same look. About Fifty of them were wearing a different type of armor, a kind that had guns coming out the side. Kinda weird looking. A carriage that had no pony pulling it followed. It had a turret at the top with some pony manning it, and also was made out of a dark metal. They picked up the knocked out ponies one by one, loading them into the vehicle. More of the same vehicles followed them. 
They blew down doors of buildings to get inside and see if any pony was awake. If they were, they knocked them out manually. Applejack quickly got to the marketplace, and kept low. There had to be some way to contact Princess Celestia. Applejack heard noises from above. When she looked up she saw flying carriages with blades above them flying overhead. Lights shined on her, making her more visible. The first three armed stallions that entered town Tied her up and threw her in an empty carriage with only a driver, two guards, and one stallion in a golden cape. He looked more nicer than the others. He was an earth pony, just like the other invaders. He untied Applejack's muzzle and nodded. He knew she was important. 
"Who are ya and what are ya'll doing here?" She asked, With a tone of mild anger.
"Just claiming whats mine, I don't want anyone else to think this country is their's!" He exclaimed.
"Country? Ya'll are taking over Equestria? Why?" 
"Because I can! You silly. Now the answer to the first question is my name, isn't it?"
"Ye..s," Applejack gulped,"It is.."
"Oh good! I love introducing myself to helpless mares!" He said happily.
"My name is Lye Allote" He said with the confidence of a thousands.
"It sounds awfully a lot like lie a lot," Applejack mumbled.
"What was that? I couldn't hear you over the great sound of victory!" He proclaimed.
"Next stop, the beautiful city of Canterlot!" He cheered, through a small, almost invisible microphone latched to his lower jaw.
"What about the princesses?" asked Applejack, confidently.
"already taken care of. Ya' see, Princesses have longer life spans and may be strong, but they're not bullet proof!" Lye said, pointing his hoof at the big army around them.
"I am capable of many things, and you," He pointed at Applejack,"Are gonna be my queen!"
"Ya'll don't even know me!" she said, fearfully.
"Okay then, let's restart then, I'm Lye Allote, what's your name?" Lye said, hoping for a response.
"Ah'm Applej...ja...jack"
"Nice to meet you Applejajajack!"
"No, its just Applejack, not Applejajajack!" She yelled vigorously.
"Well then, Nice to meet you Applejack," He said, while scribbling something on a piece of paper.
"Applejack, this here is a treaty, not for the war, but for us! I know you see me as an enemy, but you are wrong. I'm bringing a democracy! No more princesses. Just Presidents and Senates. You can me my first lady!" He handed her the paper and pen. "Just sign here or I will regretfully sentence you to execution." He pointed to a spot on the treaty.
"A democracy? I didn't know democracies aloud execution!" She said, signing the small paper.
"Fine, not really a democracy, same thing you had, but if you commit a crime it's either dungeon or execution, Deal?"
Applejack sighed. "Deal"
