Chapter 1


A New Dawn, on an unknown land.


Twilight queasily left the boat, resting her head upon the docks, as Applejack left the boat unaffected. "I don't see how you couldn't have gotten seasick Applejack..." She said, finally having gotten her lunch to stay in her stomach. "Even Rainbow threw up once." Rainbow waved from the ship, unable to move yet.
"Well, yeah..." Applejack said, looking around at the ponies, all of them seasick. "I guess I'm just hardier then all you other folks." She said, crossing her front hooves a smile on her face.
"Yeah, I suppose so." Twilight mumbled, looking back at the boat. She smiled, as ponies who had recovered already began working on unloading the supplies. She chuckled softly, as some of these supplies were apple trees. "Couldn't leave them behind?" She asked, looking at Applejack as Rainbow joined in on getting the supplies off the boat.
Applejack shook her head, still smiling. "I'm an apple farmer Twilight," She said patting Twilight's shoulder. "I'm not leaving that. It's my families business, why should I?"
Twilight chuckled, nodding her head. "I guess so..." She smiled, as Rainbow approached them. "So, has all the supplies been taken from the boat? Or should we go and help?"
Rainbow shook her head, smiling. "Oh no." Rainbow replied, smiling. "Just about everything is taken from the boat. Just a few more boxes of food and we can send her back to Manehatten for more supplies. Other then that, we're all set to start the town." Rainbow settled down, next to Applejack. "I still say Twilightopia would be a good idea." She mumbled, which cause Applejack to hit her on the head, and Twilight to shake her head.
"Rainbow," Twilight said, a soft smile on her face. "It's a nice thought to name it after me. But we should let the town council decide on the name, once they are elected that is."
Rainbow sighed, shaking her head. "What ever, I'm going to gather some clouds stuff and figure out where to put my house." She said, before she flew off, after a group of Pegasi gathering clouds.
"Oh yeah..." Twilight mused, chuckling. "I guess they will have to start a Cloudsdale over here too..." Twilight looked around, sighing. The area already showed signs of the city, as ponies worked on getting homes and shops up, before night fall. "Well, I guess we all have work to do." As she moved off the dock, into what would become the marketplace. "After all, wouldn't want to be out in the cold during the night."
Applejack chuckled, following Twilight. "Aye," She said, a soft smile on her face.

Three days pass, and already Twilight was running into political problems. It seemed as though the few ponies from Canterlot who were chosen to go on the expedition were refusing to do any of the work. "Look," Applejack said, flatly to one such pony. "I don't care that you got a hooficure in Canterlot before coming here. I don't care if you're afraid you'll mess up your hair, or get dirt on you. Yah still need to work."
"Well, I never." The mare spouted, backing away from Applejack. "How dare you order me around you... you scoundrel. I'll have you know that I am one of Canterlot's finest. I am of the Elite. You won't see me getting dirty with your filth."
"What did you say?" Applejack yelped, only to be held back from pouncing on the mare by Rainbow and Twilight. "You better shape up, or you'll be on a boat ride back to Equestria, and I told you I don't care who you are."
"My apologizes Miss Rare Trinkets." Twilight said, to the mare. "But Applejack is right, everyone does need to help out around here. This isn't Equestria, your titles there won't mean much for now." She smiled, her wings unfurling. "And trust me, the last thing you'd want to do is make me your enemy." She smiled, nodding.
"V-very well." Rare Trinkets said, looking from Twilight's horn to her wings. "I will... um... think about it." She turned to leave, before glancing back at them. "But that doesn't mean I will."
Both Rainbow and Applejack stood there looking at Twilight. Rainbow had a soft smug look on her face. "And here I was think you'd never use your Alicorn status for benefit." Rainbow chuckled, slightly pushing Twilight's wing with her hoof.
Twilight furled her wings back, looking away slightly blushing. "Yes... well," She finally said, readjusting herself. "I really didn't see any other way... to... defuse the argument. After all, Applejack was right... and Celestia did name me leader of the expedition and..."
Applejack silenced Twilight's protests with a hug, which Rainbow joined in shortly after. "It's okay Twilight." Applejack said, handing Rainbow a couple of bits. "We really never thought that you'd use your status... well, I did atleast."
"Yeah, we had a bet going." Rainbow said, counting the bits. "I though that you'd use your status to make the Canterponies to get in line. Pinkie actually said you'd turn one of them into a teapot, or start banishing them to the moon."
Twilight and Applejack both raised an eyebrow at Rainbows remark. "Okay, I get the teapot thing. But why would Twilight banish anypony to the moon?"
Rainbow shrugged. "I dunno, because they pissed her off?" She questioned, looking at Twilight. "That's why I would."
Twilight was about to speak up when a guard pony walked up to the tree of them. "Ma'am?" He said, bowing before he approached them. "There is something you should see."
