Today was a wonderful day in Ponyville. Apple Jack was out apple bucking, Rarity was getting materials ready for a new dress, FlutterShy was tending to her animals, Pinkie was planning another random party, Rainbow Dash was practicing her stunts, and Twilight was cleaning her library from another night of studying.
“TWILIGHT! TWILGHT!” Spike franticly called her name upstairs. Twilight sprinted upstairs to see what happened.
“Ugh... Spike, what did you do this time?”
“I didn't do anything! But, I just got this letter from Princess Celestia. I think its an emergency.”
“Why do you say that?”
“She doesn't have her normal introduction.”
“Spike, how many times have I told you NOT to go through my mail without my permission? Still, that won't mean anything.” Twilight opened the letter and read aloud. “Dear Twilight Sparkle, I request that you come to Canterlot right away with your friend Rainbow Dash. This is an emergency. Princess Celestia.”
“Told ya it was an emergency, Twilight.”
“Okay, you proved me wrong. Now you stay here, I gotta go get Rainbow.” Twilight went downstairs and out the door to go get Dash.
Twilight scanned all of her surroundings for Rainbow Dash. She found her doing some stunts over Sweet Apple acres.
“Hey Rainbow, down here!” Twilight called from the ground.
The rainbow maned pegasus didn't listen. Twilight took a deep breath.“RAINBOW DASH, GET DOWN HERE NOW!”
That got Rainbow's attention, so she swooped down to the lavender unicorn.
“Hey Twilight, hows it goin'?”
“Pretty good but, you gotta come with me somewhere.”
“Wow really, where?"
“To Canterlot to see Princess Celestia. She needs you immediately.”
“Ha! I knew it!”
“Knew what?”
“I'm finally gonna get to be a WonderBolt!”
“Okay, if you say so.” The two headed off to Canterlot. It had only taken a few hours. Soon enough, they had finally reached the castle.
“Ah, Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash, your here.”
“Hello Princess Celestia, we came just as you requested.” Twilight announced.
“Alright come on, I'm ready to become a WonderBolt!” Rainbow exclaimed excitedly.
“I'm sorry Rainbow Dash but, this has nothing to do with the WonderBolts.” The Princess said softly. Rainbow's excitement bursted like an upset Pinkie Pie's hair.
“W-what do you mean this has NOTHING to do with the WonderBolts?!”
“I'm sorry but, this is more important than the WonderBolts.”
Rainbow crossed her arms. “Oh yeah, whats more important than the WonderBolts?”
“The fate of Equestria.”
“Huh?... What do I have anything to do with the fate of Equestria?”
“Rainbow Dash, you're part of an old Equestrian prophecy.”
“What do ya mean?”
Celestia face hoofed herself. “You control the fate of Equestria.”
Rainbow stood there with a face that looked like she was trying to say. “What?”
"Here I'll explain. Thousands of years ago when Equestria was new, a war had started between Equestria and Bukarite. Bukarite was populated by many, many mares but only one stallion. Near the end of the war, a man said he saw into the future. He said that thousands of years after the war, in Bukarite, the nest prince would finally step up to become king. He also-..."
"I really don't understand how I'm a part of this."
"Well Rainbow, I was just about to tell you why you're a part of this."
"Oh... Okay, go on."
"Anyways, he told that years from that time period, a rainbow maned pegasus will rise up and save Equestria from the new Bukarite king."
"Whats the name of the Bukarite king?"
"His name is Night Shade."
Twilight finally had time to ask her question."So, do I have anything to do with this?"
"Why yes you're a part of this. Why else would I have called you here if it only delt with your friend Rainbow?" There was a long moment of silence.
"So, what am i suppose to do?" Twilight asked.
"I'll show you." Celestia's horn started to glow and Twilight felt her back tingle as pegasus wings grew. In fact, she was shrinking too!
"Whoa, what am I suppose to be?"
"You're Rainbow's guardian. You must help her and protect her when she needs it."
Rainbow was amazed "THATS SO COOL!!! Me next! ME NEXT!!!!"
"Funny you should say that Rainbow because, I was just about to do that."
Celestia's horn glowed again. When Rainbow opened her eyes she saw she was wearing a jade tunic with other Earth-like tones, tan boots on her hind hooves, a green hat, and had a small sword and shield on her back. Rainbow and Twilight were just about to set off when Celestia called their names.
"WAIT! RAINBOW DASH, TWILIGHT SPARKLE, COME BACK!!!!" They went to the princess.
"What is it Princess Celestia?"
"Here you'll need this before you leave." Celestia handed over a pale colored instrument that looked like the princess' cutie mark. "My parents told me that the magical song this instrument holds used to help me sleep when I was a young filly. I think it might have more power than its thought to be so, it might be able to help you."
Rainbow then thanked the princess and set off on her adventure with Twilight.
